“Another Home Run!!!”

Reviewed 30 April 2013

Our 6th visit, this time with some pretty classy (5 star type) friends. Even they were impressed! Everyone was happy with their room - a bit dated but CLEAN and that is part of the charm, the people, and especially the staff and owners! Tom and Mary Claire (and Jude) just makes his guests feel welcome and goes out of... More

This was our 2nd time at Terra Cotta Inn. It is so friendly and peaceful. We spent a week relaxing by the pool. The owners are wonderful and make you feel at home. There are great places to see and to eat in Palm Springs. But if you just want to stay in and relax at the resort you can... More

Reviewed 29 March 2013

Spent the first week in March at Terra Cotta Inn – it was our second trip and it was better than our first trip there!

“Five Restful Days”

Reviewed 21 March 2013

A girl friend and I ditched our husbands and headed south for some sun. We stayed at TCI and never wanted to leave. We had made site-seeing plans and a pretty long to-do list and in the end only went out to dinner once and for lunch once. Why leave your happy place? Sun, lounging poolside, floating in the pool...

“Larry and Donna”

Reviewed 16 March 2013

Our first visit to Terra Cotta and our first nudist vacation. We didn't want to leave. Tom, Patty and Mary Clare are super hosts. Breakfast was good (especially the fruit and coffee....the sparrows are brazen and will take their due of your muffin if allowed). Tea time at 4:00 was a pleasant surprise. Fruit, snacks and wine. Nude Jude will... More

“Terra Cotta visit”

Reviewed 10 March 2013

It was our first visit to the Terra Cotta. The staff were incredible (Patty and all the others), Tom and Mary Clare great hosts. Jude (the pup) is a great dog, well behaved and smart, no nuisance at all. Met some great people from various locations. Very friendly and casual experience.

“Bloody good show.”

Reviewed 6 March 2013

We spent our 45th wedding anniversary at TCI and it was unforgettable. The friendliness and service alone are wonderful but the flowers and landscaping make it a garden of Eden. The room was huge and inviting, the pool exceptionally clean and kept at 86 degrees, the breakfasts varied and delicious, specially all the fresh fruit and the afternoon snacks and... More

“Patty gets 6 stars!”

Reviewed 28 February 2013

Aside from all the good stuff that one might say about The TCI I think that Patty - the office manager- deserves six out of 5 stars! She is cheerful, helpful, friendly, outgoing, competent and many other things that deserve kudos. It's out 4th visit since last fall and we keep coming back! Tom is great but I hate to... More
