Every one of the staff members was so amazing and kind. I appreciated the free room upgrade. The accommodations were top notch, I love the free snacks and drinks in the room. I also loved that people come around to the pool and beach area to see if you need drinks. The property has the best view in Bora Bora!

I really enjoyed our stay at this property. The overwater bungalow was good sized and nicely furnished. The staff was top notch. The grounds were beautiful with stunning views. Snorkeling off our balcony didn’t have much fish life. We had just come from Moorea Hilton where it was fantastic. However our OWB at Hilton was run down, small, AC broke and drained water all over floor. The comparison of resort luxury between the two has Thalasso still way above. Snorkeling tours cured our need to see more fish. The Thalasso gives you a VIP feeling experience right off the plane. Can’t wait to return.

It’s a great hotel with great services! Staff is very friendly and provides excellent service from day one until we leave! Our villa faces Mt. Otemanu and the view is gorgeous. Just sitting on the deck and watching sunset feels so peaceful and relaxing. In the morning we walk 5 minutes to the other side of the motu (pacific ocean side) to watch sunrise! The hotel makes everything so convenient to the customers. Our family really enjoyed our stay at Inter Continental!

Not a good hotel to stay, please avoid it
We arrived 12:30pm. Front desk said it may take minutes to get ready. I asked how long, she said we don’t know. So we have to wait in the very hot and humid situation until 5 minutes to 3pm . I got very upset then she said wait 5 minutes your room be ready. The hotel was only half full! She had us wait until exactly 3pm to get us in! And they also charged $170 for us two, one way boat transport to airport, this is without letting us know! While other hotels are free or charge $20 per person! Also $40 round trip if you want to visit their sister hotel. I want to call a local tour company, she said you need to pay. Ok, how much? She said I don’t know. I said if you are going to charge me, you need to tell me how much per minute. Then later the manager came and called the tour company for me without charging. And the buffet breakfast has many foods, but hundreds of flies flying around the food. I have never seen any restaurant has so many flies, even in Cambodia countryside. The hotel is running down, avoid it if you can.

Great but also disappointing!
This resort is amazing! It’s beautiful and the staff is so polite and helpful! However, our beds were so hard and uncomfortable! Not what I was expecting with such a high-end resort. And the food was SO disappointing! The selection is very minimal, the prices are ridiculous, and the food just does not taste good. The breakfast buffet was delicious though. I also really liked the special touches they provided my kids and the cake and champagne provided for my birthday. I was also disappointed in my villa. I paid extra for a room with a pool and a “lagoon view” but all you get is the side of the lagoon and half of the beach. Not a true lagoon view.

This property is beautiful and the staff are hardworking and kind. The overwater bungalows are luxurious and everything you are hoping for. I felt like the dining options left something to be desired. For the price I expected much more. The food was less inventive than I could get at home but 3x the cost. My recommendation would be to order most of your meals as room service and enjoy your room. One breakfast is more than enough for two, for example, and nothing beats the view from your room. One word of warning just generally for those coming to bora bora and staying at the large resorts—the experience feels very « canned ». I think a lot of ppl coming here like that—they don’t want to experience another culture or learn new things about the area etc, they want to stay in their insulated bubble and that’s fine, but just know that that’s what this is. It’s beautiful, luxurious, and made specifically for outsiders to relax and not see any of the « real » bora bora, kinda like White Lotus lol. If you’re not that kind of traveler, I would suggest splitting your time here and at another island like taha’a, which is what we did. We stayed on a motu there for a few days and on bora bora for a few days and did both, and met some great friends and had some unique experiences. Overall, would recommend this resort!
