  World class service and gorgeous- absolutely perfect

  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.

  Probably our 20th Stay

  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.

  Great resort

  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

  Staying here now and this ain’t it, should’ve stuck w Hilton

  We’re here for a couple nights on way home from islands after previously enjoying both their bora bora properties but staying at the Hilton in Tahiti on prior trips. That was a mistake Place feels like a 3 star package tour vibe at best (and this has nothing to do w renovations). My wife and kid needed an hour and three managers to get fed breakfast today bc we didn’t sign up for some luaua brunch at $85. Most ridiculous is AC won’t go below 24 Celsius (like 75F) for “eco conscious” reasons which is clearly a cost cut and pretty annoying given how hi temps get. One concierge named Day has been amazingly helpful. Other than that place is worse than Hilton on every dimension. Will be back there next year

  A wonderful 5 day stay for kids and adults alike.

  We were planning a scuba diving trip and first went through PADI travel to see what was available in Tahiti. The only option was this hotel which had a Dive shop near it (Activiseas). So I booked us a 5 day stay with breakfast directly from their website which offered us a greater deal than anything else online. As I read the reviews I was noticing mixed reviews. Here's my take. The place is very conveniently located about 10 min drive with taxi from the airport (around $20 each way). The hotel's location is wonderful. The view is spectacular and the place never felt busy or crowded. At the time they were doing construction with the main pool but this did not bother us at all, as we had access to Lotus pool with gorgeous sunset views. The room was comfortable and the bed and AC worked great. The hotel may feel a little dates in terms of exterior construction but the rooms and the amenities are all lovely and up to date. We live in Hawaii so I am comparing this hotel to places in Hawaii and in that sense it was a great price and excellent view. We were able to walk to a grocery store (Carfour) which is about a 20 min walk, and got bread, cheese, wine, jam and salami and enjoyed evening meals like that. As Divers we go to bed early so we did not experience the nightlife or restaurant. People who complain about price of food here do not understand that this is a small island in the middle of Pacific ocean and everything other than local fruit and fish is being delivered here. We did not think the prices were too much. There is a lovely gym and spa on the premise which we did not use. Overall, I would stay here again 100 percent. The service, the accomodations and the location was wonderful. We did go to a Hilton Hotel which is 15 min away for happy hour which was much more modern and fancy, but honestly, I liked the feel of Intercontinental more. If you have little kids, they have an area which is for Turtle rehabilitation and it is super fun to just observe them. Also easily you can walk to a lagoon that has everything from puffer fish to clown fish because it has open access to the ocean to get fresh creatures that come and go. The backdrop view of this hotel is Moorea which makes for a breathtaking sunset and sunrise view. Last but not least, we were scuba diving with the company called Activiseas and they are on the premise and were one of the best dives shops we have ever been to. Overall this was a lovely stay and I am glad we choose this hotel.
