InterContinental Tahiti Resort & Spa

Great location close to the airport, friendly staff. If you arrive early they have rooms with showers so you can clean up from the flight and change, which was very nice. We got into our room early so didn’t need to use it but loved the concept. I was surprised to be placed in an area under renovation without warning when it was $500 USD/night. Bed was rock hard but maybe those in renovated rooms have improved. Food was okay and no other easily accessible options if you don’t rent a car.

We had a superior over water bungalow with outdoor area and loungers. Very nicely appointed and clean although fairly small and did not need the armchair placed in the middle of the room. As there is no beach, there are an infinity pool with artificial beach and the lagoonarium with another pool and artificial beach. Nicely laid out restaurants and bars. Good menus and huge breakfast spread. There is a shuttle bus to Papeete which we were not told about on arrival, just found out. Service can be a little laid back and our bags were not collected at the end of our stay.

We stayed 2 nights at this hotel post cruise. We were very disappointed with our room. We booked a Classic Ocean and Moorea view room, which was quite expensive. Firstly, the room needed lots of TLC and secondly, the view that is shown on their website is nothing like the room (room 156) we were given. There was basically no view of the ocean and certainly none of Moorea until you went beyond the trees that were blocking the view. The all-inclusive breakfast was very cheap and nasty. We ate at Te Tiare on the first day and it was very disappointing and expensive. We shared a chicken club sandwich for lunch, which was average, and we both had a duck salad for dinner, which was awful. The duck was so over cooked it was really had to chew and the salad was mostly red cabbage. The service at this restaurant was also very disappointing. We ate lunch at the Lobby Bar Terrace on the second day and we had the tuna dish and it was lovely and the staff very nice. That evening we ate at Humiara which was also very nice as were the staff. The grounds and pools are beautiful though. I would not recommend this hotel. Try the Hilton as we stayed there for one night before the cruise and the rooms were much nicer for a cheaper price.

We stayed here as part of "Dreams of Tahiti" with Windstar cruise and stay package and the hotel did an amazing job, from late night check in with two full buses to making sure we got to the port in time to our return day room after the cruise. We had ocean view room and a nice location, resort is amazing and beautiful. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Even our dayroom had ocean view! The new pool was completed and open but we found lots of chair hogs happening, not nice of those people but hard for resorts to control. The sandy bottom pool was fun! Same with swim up bar! Nice lagoon with sea turtles and tons of nice walking paths thru the lovely gardens. Included breakfast was amazing! So many options and all excellent quality. Now we knew Tahiti is expensive and the restaurants at the resort were expensive, there is late night food for those who arrive on the 10 pm flight but it would have been nice to have more snack options like potato chips or popcorn instead of sandwiches only. Would love to stay here again!

The grounds were beautiful. The room was quiet & comfortable. The only disappointing factor was you couldn't snorkel from the beach. There is a lagoon to snorkel in with not many fish.
