Over InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa
Voor veel gasten is de Thalasso Spa reden genoeg om naar dit stukje hemel op aarde af te reizen. Voeg daar de prachtige locatie van het resort aan toe, gelegen tussen de ‘two hearts’, de twee hartvormige koraaleilanden van Motu Piti Aau, en de droombestemming is bereikt. De dagen worden gevuld met spabehandelingen, kajakvaren, snorkelen, gourmet maaltijden en naar de sterren staren. Een hotel van dit niveau heeft alle faciliteiten in huis die een perfect verblijf garanderen. En mocht u toch nog uit uw comfortabele chaise longue willen komen, kunt u bij de tourdesk terecht voor het excursieaanbod. Iemand zin in een helikoptertochtje?

Goed om te weten
Een reis naar Frans Polynesië kan heel goed gecombineerd worden met een citytrip in Los Angeles.
Vanuit Amsterdam is het ongeveer 24 uur reizen naar Tahiti. U vliegt vanuit Amsterdam via Parijs of Londen naar Los Angeles, vervolgens vliegt u door naar Papeete, de luchthaven van Tahiti. Vanaf hier is het vervolgens nog ongeveer 1 uur vliegen naar Bora Bora. De totale reistijd is dan dus ongeveer 25 uur.

"A little bit of Paradise "
23-07-2017
You may wonder why Paradise is only rated 4* and I will explain. Bora Bora is quite unique in that the airport is on an island and wherever you are staying you get there by boat which is a lovely way to arrive, we were greeted by someone in local costume blowing a conch shell. Before checking in we were taken a tour of the site in a buggy (do watch out for them, they do rather tend to whizz round the site.) We were then given a welcome drink and cold towel to freshen up before checking in. There is no doubt that the location is stunning and the over water bungalows huge - much bigger than we had expected, everyone with a fantastic view. So why only a 4* review- the food is only average, at breakfast there were often no plates and items ran out and were not topped up unless you asked. There seemed to be a general lack of effective organisation/supervision in the dining room. We ate twice in the main dining room (the reef) one meal was a buffet which also included local entertainment. We also ate at Sands - the food was ok but lacked something in seasoning, the thing we enjoyed most was the club sandwich as a lunch time snack. There is another specialty restaurant with very limited opening.Food and drink were expensive (as seems to be the norm in these islands.). The boat shuttle over to the Intercontinental Moana is a good service, it's free most of the time but you do incur a charge and have to book it at certain times of the day. We were given a day room for a limited time on our day of departure which was very welcome so that we could freshen up before our late night flight. A thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing experience which could be improved if it was a little less expensive and there was some better organisation in the dining room.
"Fantastic Service Team"
22-07-2017
We stayed in a Diamond overwater bungalow that faced Mt Otemanu. It was worth it to wake up every morning and see the mountain from our bed. While we were there (5 nights), we had fantastic service everywhere we went at the resort. Two people in particular made our experience even better - Vai at the pool and ice cream shop because she found us each day and took care of our needs through the day; and Simon at the bar and restaurant for engaging with us in conversation and stories and for making great drinks. Everyone else were always smiling and making us feel welcome. We will be back. Mauru uru.
"Great place to spend your honeymoon!"
17-07-2017
We loved the location of the hotel, right in front on the Mont Otemanu plus it has a section with pilotis facing the breathtaking lagoon without any view on other hotels (not like some of the other 5 stars hotels close by).
Due to some construction of pools on certain villas, we got un upgrade of our room to Diamond and got a nice view on part of the Lagoon. Additionally, the hotel offered a certain amount of money credit everyday on food and beverage. That was greatly appreciated, thanks again!
Despite that there are quite a lot of international employees, we really liked the contact with the Polynesian pool boys who very friendly and talk about nice stuff about Polynesia. You feel a bit more connected.
We had a gastronomic-romantic dinner on the beach but we did not really get what it was aimed for. First, we were not really offered with any food/menu choice. Food was very heavy where we had almost no vegetable and no fish in our plates. One dish was seriously lacking cooking (gratin dauphinois). All of this with a very basic food presentation (like cantine except for the first starter and dessert) nothing really gastronomic and romantic, apart from the view. After complaining, managers took very seriously our disappointment and did everything they could do to correct the situation.
Finally, we got invited (as compensation) to the gastro restaurant Le Coral, where we had there a fantastic dinner. This is another world there, great atmosphere, excellent service, impressive food and presentation. We finally got the gastronomic dinner we were looking for!
Thanks again to the restaurant and hotel management Team.
"Paradise with impeccable service"
09-07-2017
Our family of 4 was lucky enough to enjoy 6 nights at this outstanding resort. Everything from our collection at Bora Bora Airport, resort tour on arrival, all our dining experiences and our day to day activities during our stay were faultless. The team at the resort all obviously enjoy what they do and it shows. Our children were treated as special guests but we also made sure they did not impinge on the majority of guests who were couples celebrating honeymoons, anniversaries and those married during our stay. The layout of the resort is excellent which lends a sense of privacy and spaciousness.The three restaurants and two bars all serve a variety of thoughtful, well-prepared food and, although we were there for 6 nights, every meal was unique. Between myself and my son we have multiple food allergies and this was not a problem, both of us ordering easily from the menus on offer. Special mention to some who made our stay extra special -Stéphane (General Manager), who made our last day in particular extra fun. Antoine, for making my husbands day and sharing his passion for wine. Lucie for her warm welcome and professionalism. Plus everyone else who greeted us with a warm Ia Ora Na wherever we went. I could continue but will end with we will be back.
"Amazing"
09-07-2017
We had a wonderful 5 night stay here. During our stay there was construction of the new bungalows but that did not impact us at all and there was a generous allowance as compensation that allowed us to have a few happy hour cockstails for free each night.
If your are a member of the ambassador program there is a also a cocktail reception one night.
The negative for us was due to storms in Feb for 3 of our 5 days there was heavy machinery on the beach digging out a channel into their lagoon to save the coral. This was very disruptive and loud. It also closed the main beach which meant no Kayaks or boards available to use. This should impact anyone going now and hotel/travel agent did take care of this for us with a reasonable compensation package and super late check out on our final day. Still rating this place as 5 stars as it really is a true paradise.
Highly recommending brining a water hammock and rope to connect to the dock on your bungalow. With a water proof case for your phone/kindle its just wonderful to float out there in the hammock and read without drifting miles from your bungalow. :)
Meals (we had half board package) were fantastic and between a great breakfast and lunch we did not find we needed to buy lunch at all.
We carried in some vodka/tequila/coke to make some mixed drinks in our room. Wine was quite reasonable in the hotel but mixed drinks very expensive. The happy hour each day is a really great deal though - basically half price in you buy two drinks which brought pricing down to what I would pay locally here in Seattle if we went out for drinks.
We took the boat out to the Le Mona resort which didn't seem nearly as nice - we came back quite quickly from there but the main island's main beach is just across from this other hotel and that beach is pretty spectacular as well so its worth a visit. If you need to re-stock on wine/snacks there is also a store nearby for that (we didn't visit).
