Just returned from another relaxing visit in Palm Springs! This was our 5th stay at Terra Cotta over the past few years. As a female couple, there are really no other clothing optional places for us to visit in Palm Springs. We were very welcome here and have made maintained friendships with numerous couples met during our visits. They serve... more

Tom and Marie Clare provide a great clothing optional expience, If you are looking to engage in activity that could not take place a Marriot, except for being nude, do not expect it here.

My wife & I have stayed at many fine hotels around the world. The Terra Cotta Inn has been one of those finds that you just can't wait to go back to again. It's a boutique hotel from the 50's that has the charm of a hidaway from the world. We go there to relax, sun, go to dinner at... more

Simply the best, that is the only way to describe the Terra Cotta Inn. My wife and I have had the opportunity to travel extensively both inside and outside the US. We just can’t help coming back again and again to the Terra Cotta Inn. The Terra Cotta Inn knows how to treat their guests and know what a guest... more

My boyfriend and I have never stayed at a clothing optional resort before. We were a little nervous to say the least but as soon as we came through the gate at The Terra Cotta Inn all of that disappeared. We stayed for three days and after day one we were already making plans for the next time. Tom, Mary... more

I have been to Terra Cotta Inn several times over the years and always find it a welcoming, pleasant and relaxing experience. Tom and Mary Clare, the owners, always help the guests connect with one another socially to make everyone feel at ease. This is the only place I have ever vacationed where I feel truly relaxed and peaceful. No... more

Following a couple years lapse between visits, our recent getaway reminded us of why coming to Terra Cotta is an absolute mandatory requisite on our annual to-do list; And hopefully more than annual. We are grateful to the owners/managers (Tom and Mary Clare) for their diligent efforts to continuously improve upon what we had already enjoyed as the perfect clothing... more
