InterContinental Tahiti Resort & Spa

The hotel staff is the most amazing and provides such an experience - wish other hotels could learn about service and hospitality from them - from the front desk to the restaurants to the lounge areas and housekeeping everyone goes above and beyond to provide the best experience

I’ll start with the positives, we were told we were upgraded when we arrived, which was a lovely gesture but as we had arrived so early in the morning our room wasn’t ready so we were given keys to a transit room which we were allowed to use for half an hour in order to have a shower. (The transit room was crying out for an update and had a horrible damp smell). We were however given our room very early which was a real positive and the room was lovely, apparently this section we were in has just been updated, so it was fresh, modern and clean. The bathroom area was really beautiful and the sea view we had was stunning. :-) We didn’t have breakfast included on our first day of arrival so we had a choice of either paying $50 per head for the buffet American style breakfast in the main dining area or having a smaller a la carte choice in the lounge area by reception. Thankfully we chose the latter, as the breakfast here was lovely. The Lagoonarium is absolutely amazing, swimming with fish felt so incredible, in what is essentially a swimming pool. The main pool was closed for refurbishment. There is a second pool further long the resort, which was also lovely. :-) The following morning we had our inclusive American breakfast, which for a 5 star hotel was particularly disappointing: We had to queue for 15 minutes to be shown to a table, the table we were eventually taken to wasn’t even ready. There was no cutlery, when they did set the cutlery they didn’t set the full complement (we were still missing spoons and teaspoons). We both asked for coffees and were both given the wrong coffees! The coffee was from a Nespresso machine and was awful. The fruit and cereal choices were okay. All the fruit juices were watered down. We both ordered omelettes which took about half an hour to produce, my husband had to go back twice as my order had been forgotten, so his went cold and unfortunately both omelettes were tasteless. (We were so grateful that we had had breakfast upstairs in the lounge area the day before, if I had paid $50 per head for what we had this morning, I would be complaining! Definitely NOT worth the money being charged.

We stayed for one night en route to Bora Bora, and it was the perfect stopover. The hotel is just five minutes from the airport, which was ideal after a long international flight. The concierge was very helpful before our arrival confirming that taxis were easy to find and providing a clear estimate of the fare ($20 USD). Upon arrival, we received a warm welcome and were quickly shown to our room. While the room was a little dated, it was clean and comfortable, with a lovely view from the balcony that made for a relaxing start to our trip. Breakfast the next morning was very good, surprisingly even better than what we had in Bora Bora. There was an excellent variety of hot dishes, local specialties, European options, fresh fruit, and pastries. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and found this hotel to be an ideal stopover before continuing our journey.

We stayed for 5 nights at the start of a trip around the Society Islands and had a great time. The hotel is in a great location and has excellent facilities. We stayed in an over-water bungalow and really enjoyed. The hotel does lack a proper beach, so it was great to be able to get directly in to the sea. The room was well appointed and included a fridge - so you could stock up with drinks for the large Carrefour which was a 20 minute walk away. The restaurants were good - the selection at breakfast was amazing! And of course the staff were friendly and helpful!

My god so I didn’t stay here I just wanted to tour it to see if it will be an add on at the end of my two week trip. So I have to Bragg on Lynsey quest services who greeted me right away as I walked up and that made my day. So she set me up with Steven who gave me a tour of the ground. Being a Native he knew it all and a good sense of humor lot of fun and good energy so much that I am booking a few day when I come back from visiting neighboring Island. These two deserve recognitions for a potential guess good job you two I will be back. Thank you pictures to follow as if the island isn’t one of the gyms in the ocean❤️
