All three will be showcased with all of the Star Rating recipients on ForbesTravelGuide.com starting today.
"We are delighted to be acknowledged by the iconic Forbes Travel Guide this year for our resort, spa and fine dining restaurant, mar'sel," says Terri A. Haack, president of Terranea Resort. "I believe our beautiful natural surroundings and the unique way in which we embrace this sense of place continue to keep our extraordinary amenities relevant, engaging, and very special, and our associates are dedicated to providing the highest level of service standards for our guests."
