We have been coming here for years. Sadly our vacation is about to end. We love Tom, Mary Claire and their staff especially their dog Godiva.
It's like staying with good friends instead of some nudist resorts that seem to only wants your money.
I don't want to bore you singing their praises. What sums up the vibe best is when Tom ...

would love to keep this great place a secret!

we make the 2 hour drive as often as we can because we feel so at home here. it's cozy and relaxing. you can order a very tasty and economical lunch. the friendly staff makes everyone feel welcome. we went to desert shadows once, but didn't feel "comfortable" there. we were at terra cotta inn on saturday and look forward to returning soon.

Checked out
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/27/09
Nice if you are over 90- boring. We checked out and went to Desert Sun Resort down the street. Had a great time. They have a restaurant, spa, 3 pools and fun night club.
We've been going to Terra Cotta Inn for almost 10 years. We always go in the summer. This year with the bad economy we cancelled our springtime trip to Jamaica and went back to Terra Cotta to save money.
Terra Cotta is a fantastic bargain. We are from NJ and have been to the clothing optional resorts in Mexico and The Caribbean. We like ...
My wife wanted to surprise me and made reservations here. She was told they had "a Valentines special for $169 for three nights" and she prepaid with her credit card. Now the last resort we stayed at in Palm Springs was $49 a night so when he quoted her a Valentines special for $169 she thought- "oh that's OK" When we got ...
We just got home from spending 5 fantastic days at Terra Cotta Inn over Thanksgiving. it was wonderful. words are not enough to describe the fun time we had there and the nice people we met.
Mary Claire (the owner) even made a free Thanksgiving dinner for all the guests. She, and her husband Tom, their manager Patty and everyone else goes out ...

Another fun Terra Cotta Inn vacation
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/03/08
We counted, this was our 8th vacation at Terra Cotta Inn. Tom, Mary Claire and the staff are the nicest, friendliest innkeepers we have ever met. Renska's massages are out of this world.
We love the summertime in Palm Springs. The summer heat does not bother you because they have a great misting system.
The Manager at this property is the RUDEST person I have ever come across. I will NEVER recommend or stay at this property. THere are so many choices of where to take your money, and honestly, who needs to deal w/ a cranky, rude and incredibly non customer service oriented MANAGER? Please! I would rather stay at the ROACH MOTEL!

Tom and Mary Claire are wonderful hosts!
This was THE place for my "coming out", that is, the first time I went to a nude resort. I felt comfortable, and there was no pressure to be totally nude as Terra Cotta IS a clothing optinal resort.
We ordered lunch and it was brought out to us poolside. Afternoon "tea" was a spread of cheese, fruit, crackers, veggies and wine. It was the perfect end to a wonderful day.

Our first time...
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/15/07
Well, what can you say. The Terra Cotta Inn and the owners, Tom & Mary Clare, are the best! We're to far away to visit often, but have enjoyed many visits since it was our first nudist experience.
We could NOT have chosen better for that. You walk in, relax and never look back. Tom & Mary Clare go far out of their way to make each ...
