Terranea Resort

Terranea resort sits on the coast in Rancho Palos Verdes. Formerly the location hosted ‘Marineland’ amusement park.

Terranea is not a Trump organization resort. Mr. Trump has even take jabs at it, on occasion. But at one time, they worked together and promoted each other.

[In a lawsuit by employees:] An attorney representing the plaintiffs, Lauren Teukolsky, tried to tie Terranea to its Rancho Palos Verdes neighbor, Trump National Golf Los Angeles.

“The expansive property is located up the Pacific Coast from the Trump National Golf Course,” according to a statement from the Teukolsky Law firm. “In September 2014, Luxury Travel Magazine reported that the Terranea Resort and Trump National Golf Club had formed a strategic partnership, including packages to jointly promote vacation experiences at Terranea along with golf at Trump National. A partnership is apparently still ongoing: Terranea promotes Trump National on its website and offers to assist patrons with reservations and transportation.”

That’s not the case, at least not any longer, according to an email from the defendant’s representatives: “Terranea Resort does not have any affiliation or partnership with Trump National Golf Club.”

There are a number of similarities:
– Labor disputes, labor trafficking
– Allegations of sexual harrassment
– Subsidized by city of RPV
– Celebrated by City Council while criticized by community

Most recently, Terranea management donated money to City Council Candidates to defeat ‘Measure B’, the “Panic Button” ballot measure. City Council members uniformly took positions opposing Measure B.
