It was a beautiful hotel, the staff were good, and their Sunday show was nice. Close to airport. Very crowded pool. Our bed linens were dirty, and even after calling housekeeping to change them, they provided us with six different sets of linens, and each time they were still dirty. Finally, we got a clean set. Also, there was a cake in our room’s fridge with a “Happy Birthday” message on it, likely left by a previous guest, along with a “Happy Birthday” card on the table, this made us feel like the room hadn’t been properly cleaned after the previous guest and was directly given to us. I believe this is an important point that the hotel needs to pay attention to, ensuring the linens are clean and checking the fridge to make sure no leftover items from previous guests remain.

Our stay at the Intercontinental was beyond anything we could have imagined. The water bungalow was breathtaking, and the canoe breakfast was such a magical touch that we’ll never forget. What made our honeymoon truly unforgettable, though, was the people — from the concierge Teva and receptionist Mahine to the activities team Yves and Steve. They in particular along with the duty manager went out of their way to make us feel cared for and celebrated. Yves and Steve made us Palm gifts which were so treasured. They both made our time down at the resort poolside special and were always on hand. We felt like true VIPs in room 502, and the warmth and attentiveness of the staff made our weekend so special. Thank you for giving us memories we will treasure forever.

World class service and gorgeous- absolutely perfect. We stayed here before we went on a 10 day catamaran, cruise of Bora Bora and all the other French Polynesia islands and we can honestly say this is still 100% the most beautiful view in all of French Polynesia that we saw. We were so happy that we came for five days to refresh ourselves before we took off on our boat and then returned for another five days when we were done with our boat as it is absolutely gorgeous here and the sunsets are one of a kind - it is even better to be here to look at Moorea than on Moorea from our experiences now! It is truly the best real estate in all French Polynesia. The staff is incredibly friendly and available 24/7 and everything is neat, tidy, clean, and very much perfect. Anything you dream of or desire can be had here! Wonderful breakfast buffet, cultural performances, world class swim up bar (better than any in Hawaii!!!!) and classy sunset happy hour even at their tiki bar. There is incredible snorkeling in their lagoonarium and they rehabilitate turtles and tend to many sea creatures beautifully. I would recommend coming here to all of your family and friends. It is truly gorgeous and luxurious. We have traveled the entire world and I think this is the hotel with the prettiest views of all time! The ocean is 4 different colors of blue and green and you can see fish clearly in the waters at all times and again- the snorkeling in their lagoonarium is incredible for fish and coral! We even saw whales breaching in the waters! Book in advance as it is usually fully filled. The staff and managers make all your dreams come true here. Come for as long as you can and make all your friends jealous. Don’t think twice, book it and do not miss out! Also they made my birthday and our anniversary so special! Let them surprise you if you’re having a special occasion, tell them in advance and they will charm you and make it unforgettable.

We stayed at The Intercontinental Tahiti August 25th-August 30th and September 9th-September 10th. This was probably our 20th stay at the hotel. We love it. We were greeted at 5:00 am upon our arrival from an overnight flight by Teiva Milz, the head concierge at the hotel. That was absolutely beyond our wildest expectations and we were ecstatic to see him. We sat and chatted for about an hour enjoying coffee and catching up. We had one of our favorite rooms, #353 and were met with a fresh fruit display, still and sparkling water, macaroons and a delightful welcome note. The main pool was still under construction. We went to the sandy bottom pool each day and it was wonderful. It is very well staffed and is directly next door to the new and delicious restaurant completed earlier in 2025. Upon our return on September 9th the main pool which has been completely rebuilt with magnificent furniture had reopened. We spent several hours at the new pool. It is definitely gorgeous. The furniture is beautiful and comfortable. There are double sunbeds, new umbrellas and the bar next to the newly finished pool also has gorgeous new furniture. There are no hotels to compete with the new and improved Intercontinental. There was also new hallway carpeting being installed from the lobby to where our room is located. No request was too much for the hotel. Upon our return on September 9th during a very busy afternoon we were met with Day and Teiva as well as the General Manager Laurent who is such a magnanimous personality and experienced hospitality professional. He made sure to meet us during our stay from 8/25-8/30 and greeted us upon our return on the 9th. Everyone on the staff from the pool personnel with Robbie in charge to the restaurant staff to the concierge team to the reception team to the Bell staff were 'on point', know their jobs well and do them with grace smiles. We can not wait for our return in January 2026.

A very beautiful resort, very spacious, clean and full of good vibes. Not only they have a dedicated team of passionate and friendly workers, but they also care for sustainability and the environment. They had a little vanilla plantation and a rescue center for turtles. Their garden is kept with lovely care. The restaurant is good and the Lotus fantastic! I would definitely recommend
