波拉波拉勒莫阿納洲際度假村(InterContinental Bora Bora le Moana Resort, an IHG Hotel)

True good place and the hotel staff were amazing. We felt spoiled every step of the way. From the warm welcome at the airport , the resort tour….Everything was so well arranged

Beware! This place is awful. The rooms/overwater villas are ok, but the restaurant and common areas are absolutely awful, dirty, dated and run down. The few restaurants in the local area are very basic. Bora Bora doesn't have much to offer aside from luxury resorts. It's hard to get around to other resorts for food, as boat transfer is required ($300 for a 10 min trip) and I doubt that the resorts accept reservations from people that aren't guests... (They didn't when we called in desperation). When visiting Bora Bora it's essential that you pick a resort with nice dining, bar, pool (if you have kids) and common areas... Bora Bora is the kind of destination where people never leave the resort, as there is essentially nothing on the island to see. Being stuck on Moana is a nigh**are. We transferred to Conrad after 2 days, and were slammed with a $6000 charge (based on a fictive price per night). Management staff at Moana gave us hell. Essentially this place will go out of business just like Sofitel a few block down the road. At this point they are just milking it, they don't care about customer satisfaction. Didn't see any American or western guests during our stay. Instead most guests appeared to be Asian. Maybe Asian guests are less likely to complain? It blows my mind that anyone would give this place a good review.

This is a beautiful property and I was really pleased to receive a free upgrade to an overwater bungalow! The underwater bungalows are stunning, including the interiors. I only stayed one night. The only disappoin**ent was the food and service. Food was so so, unlike at the Intercontinental in Papeete, which had incredible food and very fast service. Turns out the day I had very slow restaurant service was because it was New Year’s Day, so all the restaurants nearby were closed and the hotel was filled with folks staying in nearby airbnbs. I would have done the same if I were them! But the GM told me the next day that they were unprepared and should have shut the restaurant for outside guests. The staff kindly didn’t charge me for my drink after it took 45 mins to receive after arriving. I wouldn’t use this as a reason not to stay here, just perhaps plan to eat some of your meals at the local restaurants up the road.

They have NO air-conditioned dining areas. Everything is open air and hot!! Air in rooms is at best fair. We requested late check out because our flight does not leave until 6:30 pm. We were told that was not possible so we waited in the open air lobby from 11am check out until 5pm. Nice but definitely NOT 5 star as rated. No shower curtains in bathrooms so our floor flooded at each.shower use. Mosquitoes are terrible!! We saw many guests with multiple bites. We also got quite a few even with long pants and long sleeved shirts. Beautifully land scaped and clean though.

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon, and we had an absolutely wonderful experience here. The resort itself was so beautiful and all the flowers and palm trees really beautified it, on top of the crystal clear turquoise water underneath all the overwater bungalows and having a nice backdrop of Mount Otemanu. The food here was incredible, especially with all the fresh fruits, vegetables, fish and seafood, and vanilla. It is some of the best I have had, and I am really into looking for good food. We stayed in a standard overwater bungalow and really enjoyed it. The sliding glass table inside it was nice. The water was easily accessible from the ladder on our dock which was connected to our deck, and the water was only about three feet deep. The staff was very friendly, and they were very helpful in helping us book all our dinners and excursions. The resort had a good amount to do there and offered a variety of other things to do around the island. The resort was at a relatively windy location which was pleasant most of the time, but it got so windy during one or two of our outdoor romantic dinners that our drinks were starting to knock over on the table, which was a little annoying. As a whole, the resort had a smaller, slower, and more relaxed vibe to it, which was nice for me and my wife, since we really wanted to relax most of the time while still being able to get out and enjoy different excursions at our leisure. Overall, 10 out of 10 for this place.

We spent our 30 year anniversary here in September for 10 nights. The property is in the best spot on the island and absolutely beautiful. The staff is amazing and always continually try to please you. Everything is very clean. The property is a little bit older, but the style is Tahitian style. Which is exactly what we wanted coming to Bora-Bora. The snorkeling right off the beach is amazing. So many colors of fish, coral under each hut. We saw stingrays up and down the beach every day and reef shark as well. We did seven nights in the cottage and 3 nights over water bungalow at the end of the pontoon. The water is shallow all the way out. Definitely worth splurging for. Breakfast was great included each morning. We did the Polynesian show. They did a great job and the food was really good. We had appetizers and drinks through the week. It’s a little expensive, but they were good as well. One block down the street is the lucky house. It has really good food And the Bora-Bora beach club had an amazing dinner and sunset as well. The location is great because you can walk to the market on the street corner or either of those restaurants. If you stay on the other small islands you have to take a water taxi over. Constance at the front desk was so helpful, also Samuel, Alvida, Alban, Teena, Georgina made awesome omelettes! Do the Bora Bora lagoon boat full day. Swam w sharks n rays n Polynesian lunch in water after. Taaroa was an awesome guide!! definitely recommend n go again!

We stayed in a mountain view bungalow (number 10), which got the late day sun so we could relax by ourselves in early evening after daytime activities. We also had the breakfast + dinner meal plan and found the dinners exceeded our expectations. The location is really convenient, you can walk to the public beach, a few restaurants, and a convenience store to stock your in-room fridge. Pool tables and games on property were also a nice addition. We kayaked to the coral garden and it was easy enough - about 15 minutes there a little less back with the wind behind us. All the staff we interacted with were also very helpful and kind and willing to assist with anything we needed. Room was clean and comfortable. Snorkeling in the lagoon was easy - water was clear, variety of fish types and sizes, also saw sting rays every day. We also rented bikes and went around the island - took about 90 minutes of biking and was very pleasant. Stopped in town for some gift shopping and for lunch at Matira beach.

The service is outstanding!!!! the best!..full of small details that made our stay wonderful...The lady Manager is amazing and so warm and professional. The proporty inmaculate. And Alban at the restaurant is the best of the best and so happy and helpful. Our OW bungalow was great...will be back many more times :)
