InterContinental Tahiti Resort & Spa

Beautiful resort with amazing staff. Lagoon with fish and coral. Turtles. Range of restaurants to choose from, great food, service was a little hit and miss some nights. Range of pools to choose from and swim up bar.

Located close to the airport so transfer to and from was easy by taxi. Rooms were ok, but I found the mattress to be incredibly firm and hard to sleep on. Our room was warm and we were unable to adjust the temperature as the box was locked out. Front desk staff was polite and engaging, setting up transfers and providing fantastic customer service

This is a wonderful starting point and finishing point. We had an over the water bungalow for three days and the on a 50 foot catamaran for 11 days and back for two nights in a king size ocean view room. The staff is amazing, the views are wonderful and the food is extremely good. I would stay here again for sure .

We arrived in Papeete in the evening from the US, so we spend our first night here before continuing on to Bora Bora the next day. Our first night we had a Garden View room, I think in a newer section of the resort, which was wonderfully comfortable for a much needed rest after a day of traveling. The next morning we enjoyed Sunday brunch with a dance performance, which immediately surpassed the Kona Hawaii luau experience we had a couple of years ago. The performers were outstanding and the show was approximately 40 minutes of dancing with multiple costume changes and them time for photos at the end. Coming back from Bora Bora, we booked 2 nights because our departing flight was after 9pm and we did not want to be sitting around the lobby for hours - which would have been the case even with a day pass. That second room was in what appeared to be an older, or not as recently updated, part of the resort. The bed was VERY firm and we could not get it any cooler than 20C or reduce the humidity. We were "upgraded" to a Moorea View room, but could only see it looking 90 degrees to the right from our balcony. All in all, I'm not convinced that the "upgrade" actually improved our experience. On checkin we were given 2 free drink vouchers, for being IHG members, which was a nice perk. Staff at check in/out was exceptional in terms of being welcoming and offering assistance. The grounds were beautiful and the on site restaurants were certainly above average as far as hotel food offerings go. Though it is unlikely we will be back in that particular corner of the world again, I would book another stay here if we were.

The views are stunning! The property was well maintained and very clean. We stayed in the cabin over the water. Beautiful cabin with air conditioning. Patio had 2 loungers and view. Lighting thru cabin was very dim and hard to see, especially in bathroom. A/c kept shutting off when front or patio door was opened, not sure if it was programmed that way. Was a bit of hassle as it would get sweltering hot quickly if we didn’t go turn it back on. The private rooms are the only areas with a/c. None of the restaurants have a/c. Ceiling fans are all they use to keep air flowing. This was very disappointing and very uncomfortable as humidity is terribly high. Breakfast buffet food was wonderful but very expensive. Glass of fresh pineapple juice was $17 US. Had dinner buffet one night and food was just ok, again very expensive. Alcohol drinks were very expensive. Everything is over priced. We stayed here for the bucket list cabin over water experience. We stayed for 3 nights before getting on cruise. There is not much to do unless you are a sun worshiper.
