My wife surprised me with a 2 night stay at Terranea for our 45th wedding anniversary! We have stayed at Terranea many times before and we are used to the outstanding resort and service oriented staff, but this was extra special! From check-in, Cielo pool, Mar'sel, bashi, fitness center, everything was 5-Star! We were also fortunate enough to attend the AstroYachts concert at Nelson's on Saturday night. No one had more fun than we did! Every visit to Terranea is a wonderful experience! Can't wait to visit again!
