“Scenic,” “breathtaking,” and “spectacular” are words that many hotels use to describe their establishments, but you really would find few others to draw on after seeing this sprawling, Mediterranean resort on the stunning coastline of the Palos Verdes peninsula. Amenities and activities on offer will more than fill up a weekend getaway. (The spa alone is worth at least a lifetime.) Golf-loving families will love to play at The Links at Terranea, an award winning golf course, which is set spectacularly against the Pacific ocean.
