Overwater villas - with glass bottom coffee tables - combine Polynesian and contemporary styles, while Le Reef Restaurant boasts gourmet dining in a relaxing island setting.

Me and my partner decided to have our wedding ceremony at the Intercontinental and also stayed here and let me just say, this was the best stay I’ve ever had anywhere! The staff who were all so helpful and lovely (big thanks to Leana, Nina and the man at the front desk who checked us in and out - unfortunately I didn’t get his name), and made our big day so easy and stress free. Starting with arrival - we arrived at 9am and our ceremony was at 11am, they allowed us to check into our room early so we could get ready with ease and even steamed my husbands suit for us! Leana stayed with us throughout the whole ceremony and photoshoot afterwards and Nina was with us for just the ceremony. Both of the girls took lovely photos of us at our ceremony, printed them and displayed them nicely on our table for when we got back. It was the lovely thoughtful touches like this that made our day so so special and perfect! The room itself was 10/10, the view was incredible and the villas were so spacious and spotless! Lots of really cool touches like the glass coffee table that opens over the sea! Everything about this resort was absolutely incredible, we stayed with them right before they closed for renovations so the resort was super quiet - we only really saw less than 20 people or so during our stay! We also loved the fact that all of the staff went above and beyond to make your stay seamless, from things like an early check in to having a day room after we checked out before the boat came to take us back. Nothing was ever inconvenient/annoying for us, it was such a relaxing experience. It was very private which was lovely and had the best view of the mountains on the mainland of Bora Bora. Honestly, couldn’t think of a better place to have had our wedding & honeymoon, I would definitely recommend this hotel!!

This is our 5th time at the IC Bora Bora Thalasso! The last times were in 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2018 with our children. This time my husband and I were here for his family reunion in paradise. We wanted to visit the Thalasso one more time before it closes for a grand scale renovation from June 2026 - December 2027! Despite some renovations that have already begun on the south wing, the quality and excellence of service from management, concierge, gift shop, all the restaurants (Reef, Le Corail, Sands), and the beach staff have remained superior! With half the bungalows closed for renovation, the resort felt even more serene while excellence was maintained throughout, giving us the feeling of a private island stay! A very special shoutout to the following staff members who overwhelmed us with their hospitality and island spirit unique to the Thalasso: Managers Steve, Mahinui and Rachelle, Erina from the gift shop who remembered us since our first visit in 2012, Léana and Camille who were so eloquent and helped us enormously with all inquiries and bookings, Director of F&B Keanu and all his amazing staff members who welcomed us wholeheartedly everyday in the restaurants. We also very much enjoyed different theme dinner nights (Tahitian, Polynesian, Fire Dance) during our weeklong stay. Māuruuru IC Thalasso family and best wishes to you all!!! Au revoir, a bientôt!!!

Outstanding service, outstanding food, outstanding location. The upcoming June 2026 shutdown for 1 1.5 year renovation will be a challenge to all employees but I am confident the resort will be better then ever. This was a dream come true of a vacation .
