by holligolytly This resort has an amazing view looking out onto Moorea.
It also has a very nice restaurant Le Lotus, and they get excellent bands to entertain down at the Tiki Bar. The only thing we wished we had known is that check-in time isn't until 2pm, so for the many many people who take the late night flight from LA to Papeete, prepare to hang out for quite a while before your room is ready. No biggie though, enjoy the sun, pool and relax. Theme: OtherComparison: more expensive than average

 | InterContinental Resort Tahiti : More hotel than resort in Tahiti

I stayed at the InterContinental Tahiti for two nights as part of a 6 night tour of French Polynesia. The IC has over the water bungalows, we stayed in a standard room with a gorgeous view of the water - the sunrises were lovely. Overall, the accomodations were fine, but not as expected for a luxury resort. The resort has many beautiful features, including numerous sun/water options, lagoonarium and lily pond. There were 2 pools (standard and infinity) and numerous beach spots to sunbath and have access to the lagoon water. The lagoonarium is full of beautiful tropical fish with feedings in the morning and afternoon. The lily pond has a few turtles who come out to sun themselves in the afternoon - great picture opportunities. While they had some trees, the overall landscaping was sparse. The rooms were very basic and not thought out. Considering this was a luxury resort, it was lacking. The decor was aged and cheap. The beds were poor quality and and old (although fairly firm - thank goodness). The pillows were synthetic. Considering even the most basic hotels have feather pillows this was a dissappointment. The water pressure was good. The shower curtain was cheap and flimsy and didn't quite fit so the water went all over the floor. All the electrical outlets were on the floor behind the desk so access was a challenge. The water pot cord was 2 feet so we had to heat the water on the floor. The coffee/tea materials were not restocked regularly. The resort is located near the airport, so you could hear planes occasionally, but it was not disturbing. I heard they have a lovely Polynesian show - but we didn't see it. Le Truck which is cheap public transportation goes by regularly just outside the hotel.
Based on what I saw of other resorts, there was not any unique qualities at this resort.
