“Five Restful Days”

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...

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.
