A first timer's experience. I've always wanted to go on a nude vacation, but my wife resisted the idea. This year, as a birthday present to me, she finally consented to spend four days at a nude facility of my choice, but with the warning that she probably would not take her clothes off in front of strangers and might...

After several years of trying other places that allow sunbathing/swimming without clothing, we came back to Terra Cotta and were sooooo glad to be "home"!! From the first contact with Tom on the phone while making our reservation to the last hug before we left you just KNOW that these folks want to make their guests happy! I think customer... More

We easily made reservations and returned to PSP for a week long stay and Terra Cotta Inn. We had been traveling other places and decided to return to the very nice Terra Cotta Inn.... The Inn is very conveniently located near the PSP airport just 5 or 10 minutes away. Mary Clare, Tom and Patty are wonderful. The Inn is... More

We just returned from our second trip to Terra Cotta Inn and we had a marvelous time. It was so relaxing and comfortable. The owners welcomed us back like old friends which was nice. The guests at the Inn are always friendly and easy to chat with out by the pool. The TC Inn is a place where you can... More

First and foremost, Tom is a wonderful host and the nicest of guys - along with a friendly and hard-working staff - which makes it very difficult to write such a poor review. All the 5-star reviews from those who come back every year must be due to the fact that there are not many choices for clothing-optional places. But,... More

This time we stayed for a period of 10 days. We had to go back home but we could really enjoy 10 more days........ We were there for Valentine's, we attended a nudists's wedding (seriously) and we celebrated Mardi Gras with body painting ans sparkling wine. Great experiences. We met friends from last year, and we have made new friends.... More

Thank you very much for your review. It is always helpful for others to learn about our resort. The one thing that stands out in what you wrote is "we met friends from last year, and have made new friends." Our guests love to have fun. You will always see smiles and hear laughter here.

Our first time here and we are loving it. The owners, Tom and Mary Clare do a great job at making you feel comfortable at their clothing optional hotel. The rooms are older but perfectly clean and comfortable. Breakfasts are a mix of fruit , hard boiled eggs and breads and yogurt. There is wine and snacks served in the... More

Stayed at Terra Cotta in January for 3 days to get some sun and be able to shed our clothes. Friends had recently stayed there and gave us a good review. Terra Cotta is small but nice, very clean and the owners and staff make you feel welcome. No restaurant on site but we liked going to downtown Palm Springs... More
