InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa

This hotel is beyond amazing. This was our second visit with our daughters and we hope it is not our last. The first time we came our girls were much younger and stayed in the same bungalow with us. This time around they are older and they had their own bungalow. The hotel staff made theirs up with two twin beds and made sure the bungalow was very close to ours. The rooms are very large and comfortable. The decks have plenty of space to lounge. The views are truly some of the best in the world. Room 221 has the best view. This was the first time that we indulged in the hotel spa and I will say that it was out of this world. Where else can you watch the fish through the overwater glass floor while you get a massage or body scrub?! The spa grounds are also very quiet and relaxing. We ate at all 3 of the hotel restaurants. Each has its own menu and is very different in style and price. Le Corail is fabulous for a gourmet dinner. But, honestly, dinner and lunch at the Sands is great because you can’t beat the view and the tuna sashimi is to die for! That being said, the best part is the hotel staff. Everyone from the manager to the gardener is as kind as can be. Normally, I try to remember names to thank people individually. In this case, I would be naming nearly the entire hotel staff. When I say that everyone was truly kind, I mean truly kind and thoughtful. I also love that the hotel staff includes a lot of locals. I enjoy talking to them and learning about their life on the island. Many of the other 5 star hotels do not provide the opportunity for such local interaction. There is nothing more to say than that this hotel is absolute perfection!

We had an exceptional experience at the Bora Bora Resort Thalasso Spa. As frequent travelers with high standards for luxury accommodations, we were thoroughly impressed by the resort’s outstanding service and quality. The IHG values of "Showing Care" and "Aiming Higher" were evident in every aspect of our stay. After visiting several other luxury properties in Bora Bora, it’s clear that Thalasso Spa stands apart with its unparalleled location, thoughtfully designed rooms, and overall quality of experience. Special recognition goes to Ms. Sophie J. at the front desk, along with Lou and Antoine in Dining, for their exceptional efforts in making our special occasion unforgettable. Their personalized touches turned a wonderful trip into a truly remarkable experience. Even the new General Manger stopped by to say hello and inquire how is our stay going. We would enthusiastically recommend this resort to our friends and family.

The resort is exactly like the pictures. Simply beautiful! We loved our overwater bungalow from the private pool to the lagoon views. Our IHG status was recognized and we were welcomed with fragrant leis, re-useable water bottles (similar to hydroflask), champagne, pastries and a welcome note. Everyday, we had complimentary dessert, snacks, drinks and water waiting for us in our bungalow. Concierge was so helpful! We communicated via email multiple times prior to our arrival. They were very patient and very organized; on top of everything! Only improvement I would suggest are the wait times for food at their restaurants as well as food quality. At the price one pays to stay at this resort, the food should be at a higher level.

We had an amazing stay with our family at this hotel in Bora Bora. The bungalows on overwater stilts are simply incredible, offering breathtaking views over the lagoon and absolute comfort. Waking up above the water was an unforgettable experience for all of us! A huge thank you to the concierge team, who took care of us from start to end. Their availability, advice and organization made our stay even more special. The staff are very attentive, and I would like to mention a special thank you to keane for his kindness and attention. All the people we met in the resort were lovely. Thanks to margaux who greeted us on the first day and ralph the barman for his friendly manner. We really enjoyed the Fire night on the beach and the musical entertainment at happy hour. A perfect stay to disconnect and enjoy paradise

Going to Bora Bora your expectations are high. When we arrived at the resort each step was taken to make sure our expectations were met. The transfer from the airport was fast and efficient (though a significant added cost that is a little disproportionate to the value of a standard boat taxi). However upon arriving at the dock we were met and given a personal tour of the property before arriving at our room. It was all we could have hoped. Spacious seating and sleeping areas and the view of Mt. Otemanu was incredible. Everything in the room was well maintained. The staff was attentive both with regard to in-room needs and at the restaurants. The activities staff arranged excursions to attend the local Heiva i Bora Bora (local singing and dancing festival) which is a true experience if you happen to be on the island at the proper time. I thought that the trip would be a once in a lifetime experience, but now I can’t wait to go back.
