We booked a Casita room for a 3 day weekend for our last trip before we have our first baby. I didn’t put any notes or anything on what we were there for, but when we checked in we were informed we had been upgraded to an oceanfront suite. We were blown away by this room. It was massive and had multiple balconies to sit on and enjoy the views. We ended up spending most of our time in the room because it was just the best. We did go to the adult pool and another quiet pool that were both very nice. Megan at the vista pool was great! We had breakfast at the Catalina kitchen a few times which was great. The room service was great. I do wish I had done a little more research and made reservations for the other restaurants on site as they were booked. Overall it was an amazing place and we were so thankful they upgraded us, we didn’t want to leave!

We’ve been to terranea multiple times and this one sadly will be our last. I reached out regarding the not so great stay, and no response. We checked in and there was a large baby crib in our room. We called multiple times for them to remove it, it sat there for both nights, not until I asked housekeeping when they came to the room for cleaning did someone actually remove it. Service was also terrible. We got there and wanted to just lay by the pool and watch the view and we asked a server knowing the bar closed by the pool in 30 minutes if we could get in a quick drink order, she dismissed us saying she’d return to take our order and never came back, and then we were told we had to go somewhere else to get drinks. Dinner service at one of the restaurants took so long, we never said a word, they took half off the bil. Breakfast on the final day, was a bit chilly but being from Chicago we wanted to enjoy outside. I asked the host if the heater outside could be turned on, she said of course, we also asked our server, who once she took our order was never seen from again, this was a buffet breakfast and only after almost an hour and a half later someone came running out with all the bills apologizing. This was bad, on all levels. We stayed at the maybourne in Beverly Hills, and that’s what real customer service should look like. I never leave reviews but they just don’t care at terranea it’s about volume and money for them, definitely not about people.

On a positive: check in was relatively fast and accommodating, beautiful views of the ocean.
On the other hand, room furniture was old, room was consistently not made up until early evening hours, phone calls for hotel services were not answered for up to 10 minutes, daily parking fees were unreasonably high.

The Resort is nice, but terrible service :( if u wanted something literally 5 to 10 min on the phone on hold for them to answer. Staff cero friendly! And really disappointing that we booked an Ocean View Bungalow and we had a Tree View instead! Not a piece of blue! It was building 40 and bungalow 402! The spa is nice though! But wouldn’t come back unfortunately… cero cero customer service and didn’t feel welcomed whatsoever….

Our bungalow room had two French doors that opened to a view of the ocean, perfect for taking in the cool breeze. We enjoyed the resort and will visit again! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Our room was considered a standard ocean view and it had no ocean view. It was in building 22 and since it was on the lower floor, the view was blocked by the casitas in front of it. So I recommend booking a premier ocean view or if you book the standard ocean view, make sure you are on the second level.
Otherwise, the resort is lovely. The staff are very friendly. We enjoyed a morning guided coastal hike with Morgan and Christos and also found the falcon talk very interesting.

Shared parking with another casita was not made clear to us on check in. Esp galling when the curb is lined with employees parking in No Parking marked areas. Were told to find an unmarked spot….first come, first served… Certainly not what we were expecting for the prices paid.

fantastic facility. amazing view. The front staff was very nice. I love the space in the room. There are a lot of dinning options. The coffee shop was great also.
The reason that I didn't give 5 stars is that the bed was too soft and not comfortable. Also, the trash can was not emptied when we first checked into the room.
Overall, we had a wonderful time and will consider going back to the resort.

We paid over $1,300 per night when you add in all the taxes etc. We did not think the room was more special than the regular hotel rooms in the high rise.
The was not a fireplace and the coffee was stuck under the bathroom sink.
Because the room did not have much of a view we did not have room service any time during our stay.

The shower was small and tight and the doors to the toilet room and bathroom touced when you swung them.

Pros - Great room everything very clean view was really nice. The one bedroom Casita with fireplace was excellent. The kitchen size is really good. View of the ocean was very good. One amazing thing is definitely the free parking right outside of your Casita, which is really nice.

Cons - Showed up three hours before check-in at 1 PM wasn’t able to check in until 3:50 PM which would be 10 minutes before the check-in time, for a place that prides itself on customer service I think not making the customer wait till exactly 10 minutes before would have been ideal. Turn down service staff will enter if you do not have a do not disturb sign on.

The property was amazing and the staff was great. Expedia had the wrong description for the bungalow that I booked. Autumn at the front desk rectified the problem with a comparable suite. My luggage and room service took over 2 hours to arrive. The room service was comped to make up for the untimely delivery. Leaving the resort at time of checkout was also a headache. The wait for valet to retrieve my car was excessive, there was no water available while we waited and as soon as I got in my car I was completely blocked in for an additional 15 minutes. The resort is an extraordinary place but looks as if there maybe staffing issues.

Beautiful setting, gorgeous grounds. Much to like. Many dining options -- which is good because there are few in the area. Some of the administrative follow up was lacking. Attention to the details would have made our stay nearly perfect. (i.e. though we mentioned it, never recognized our 40th anniversary, huge mistake on the bill, pillows on bed inadequate)

We had a wonderful stay at Tarra Resort! The property is absolutely beautiful — well-maintained, peaceful, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. It truly feels like a hidden gem, and I would definitely love to come back again. As always, the overall experience was memorable and enjoyable.
That said, there are a few areas that could use some improvement to make the stay even better. With a bit more attention to detail in certain aspects such as, the dinner service at Catalina kitchen can improve as we waited for a while for our dinner and our server did not come and ask us or at least mention to us how long more it will . I was really excited about dinner as I was celebrating my parents for fifth anniversary. Overall, this resort could easily go from great to exceptional.
Looking forward to visiting again soon!

We really wanted to like this hotel, but unfortunately our stay was disappointing. We visited over Labor Day weekend, and it was extremely crowded. We arrived around 1 p.m., but because the hotel was fully booked, we couldn’t check in until around 4:30 p.m.

When we finally got into our room, it wasn’t as clean as we expected and there was a noticeable odor. We called the front desk, but since they were at full capacity, no room change was possible. The view, however, was beautiful—that was one of the highlights.

That evening, we tried to dine at the hotel restaurants around 6 p.m., only to find there was no availability for the night. We ended up having to go off property for dinner. When we returned, the odor in the room was still present, but we were too tired to deal with it further.

The next day, our kids were excited to swim, but the pool was overcrowded and, unfortunately, very dirty. There was hair floating around and the water looked cloudy, likely from sunscreen.

We hope this was just due to the busy holiday weekend and not the hotel’s usual standard, but overall, we left feeling disappointed.

Stayed in the bungalow which was a lovely location with a great view.

However somehow the gratuity on one of our receipts at the family pool was changed without our knowledge, which we find to be totally unacceptable.

At check out hotel tried to claim that they automatically charge 18% on every receipt, but the hotel needs to be transparent on any automatically applied gratuity on receipts which it wasn’t in this case.

Lastly, yesterday I was served undercooked rubbery chicken at the Catalina kitchen which the staff were just as appalled about as I was.

Now dealing with the beginning symptoms of food poisoning, how severe that will become I do not know.

Very disappointing overall.

I recently stayed at this resort with my family, expecting a seamless luxury experience. Unfortunately, our stay was marred by a very disappointing encounter with the valet team. My car arrived much later than expected, and instead of offering assistance, the valet was disrespectful and escalated the situation. This was especially upsetting as I was waiting with my two children, one of whom is just 1 year old, for over 15 minutes. For a valet-only luxury resort, this behavior is not acceptable.

To her credit, the Guest Services Manager approached us, apologized sincerely, and acknowledged that this was not reflective of their usual valet service. However, first impressions matter greatly, and this experience fell short of the high standards one would expect from a resort of this caliber.
