The condo at Terranea was a resort vacation at its best. You have all the amenities of the hotel including the beach, pool, hikes, and paid excursions. You can borrow the convertible Lexus or SUV for three hours to go for your own experience. (Reserve in advance with concierge). Sea beans is a perfect place to grab a quick breakfast, but go early! Their gelato is great too! The spa - amazing, classes daily to exercise, or take a swim, the perfect spot to exercise overlooking the ocean. Make sure to hike or see if they can shuttle you off property to the Yellow Vase for brunch(by Trader Joe’s and Starbucks). There is a fridge in the condo, so we grabbed some snacks and fruit for the kiddos! You can also taxi over to Long Beach to the aquarium and lighthouse (30 minutes). Expect to walk, the condo is just next to the end of the hotel, but walking is needed to get to any amenities! We ate at Nelsons and it was hit or miss, the seafood salad was the best option, the pool side food is just as expected but good! The spa menu is healthy and grab a carry out. Catalina kitchen and Bashi are great options too. Make sure to make reservations in advance. All the amenities are expensive, but that’s to be expected at this five star resort! Don’t hesitate to book this amazing vacation! Thank you to Beth who helped with all my questions and worked with me to shorten one day because of an unexpected wedding back home!
