InterContinental Tahiti Resort & Spa

We had a lovely time at the resort. Very attentive staff, nice facilities, by the sea with birds visiting. A particularly nice touch are the pools connecting to the ocean. There is a rehab pool for sea turtles with a few permanent residents due to their injuries. We visited with them each morning after the excellent buffet breakfast. Many folks don't stay long on Tahiti island but we found it relaxing and just what we were expecting. It does help to have a rental car if you are staying at IHG resort. A loop drive around the island is highly recommended.

I have been disappointed recently in the IHG brands, except the Intercontinental Hotels have kept their quality over the years. This location is no exception. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The restaurants are top notch and the amenities are great. We have no complaints.

The hotel has a good vibe even though it is getting on in years. The best area is the pools. Nice swimming pool plus a tropical fish pool to swim with the local fish and a large turtle pool to watch turtles. The view overlooking the sea towards Moorea is nice. The rooms are reasonable in size and are comfortable. Ours had a nice view. The hotel is near the airport and not very far from the downtown area. I would recommend the hotel for a couple of days stay at a reasonable value.

We had a great family stay and felt very well taken care of from the start. Everyone was incredibly kind and helpful, especially the reception team, who really made a difference throughout our stay. A big thank you for the flexibility with the late check-out and for the room upgrade both were much appreciated. The reception team is truly fantastic. We’d also like to compliment Quentin for his solid and efficient help with the billing, which was very much appreciated. Big thanks to Isac at Tiare Restaurant for his friendliness and great service, in a lovely and authentic Polynesian atmosphere. Overall, a very warm, relaxed, and enjoyable stay. We would happily recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Tahiti.

We stayed at the Hilton before our cruise and at the Intercontinental afterward. I prefer the Intercontinental. Both are "airport hotels" to an extent and neither a true luxury five star resort. That said, the Intercontinental has beautiful grounds/pools and the rooms, while small, have been well renovated/decorated and are perfectly fine. (The Hilton's rooms are larger). The staff at the Intercontinental is very well-meaning and polite. Zero complaints. Check in was easy, particularly given that it was crowded. The restaurants are good to very, very good. Prices are high as they are everywhere in French Polynesia. The TripAdvisor reviews on this hotel are so mixed that we arrived with cautious expectations. It's turned out to be a very nice hotel and a very solid choice.
