This resort is like paradise on Earth. We had an overwater villa with the Otemanu View and it was absolutely incredible. We had the option to either stay on our terrace or enjoy their beach. Everything was spotless, the food was delicious, the staff absolutely friendly. This was the best decision we ever made for our honeymoon.

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!

we had mixed service at this hotel. some of staff very helpful and provided excellent service ( Ralph at pool and beach) but very often when we asked for something the answer was a quick “no”. for example on return to boat dock we asked for ride to our bungalow and we’re told no because they were waiting for boat from airport. instead they should have said we have to stay but will call you another cart. another example was when all the beach lounge chairs were full, my daughter was told sorry we can’t get you a chair. when she complained someone did get the chairs. one day told she could get not food served at beach but again with complaining after seeing other guests being served they did serve us and all of the other guests. the property is so beautiful but staff need some training on providing exceptional service. be aware when you arrive you are told not to walk outside the grounds as the local dogs roam free and have bitten guests. our wait to check in was extremely long as there was only one person checking in

Fleas and attitude from Intercontinental Bora Bora
The facility of the bungalow is old and food is so so. Water is clean and beautiful. However the receptionist service is unfriendly and gave us attitude when we need help. We considered they want to get rid of their responsibilities when I got bitten by the fleas and requested to change the room. How disappointing it is !

I stayed at both intercontinental and four season for this trip. No matter from facilities to the services, four season is far better than intercontinental. I will never come back to intercontinental bora bora again. The wifi is spotty, there is no farewell greetings. The welcome greeting is not as nice. The water and sands are not well maintained. The food was so so and the services not as attentive. The staff are not as friendly. They also charge for shuttle service to the airport. I would rather pay slightly more to stay at four season.

Amazing, check in needs help
Absolutely beautiful property and stunning villa (as should be for the price). My only complaint was the check in. We arrived by boat from the airport with three other couples. They were immediately given cool towels and drinks and taken off by golf carts to their rooms. We sat there for over an hour with no explanation, no towels, no drinks. For over $1650 a night i expect better service. Rest of the trip was great. Super friendly staff. Loved swimming at night off the over the water villa, memories of a lifetime.

The staff was so friendly but the resort itself is a little boring. The overwater bungalows were overpriced, oddly laid out. Not comfortable inside and the outside was laid out very oddly, no shade on the deck and in such shallow water that my son couldn’t even jump off the deck. Just kind of a disappointment given how expensive they were. On a motu, which we knew but very expensive getting to and from bora. If you just want to go and stay at the resort, that isn’t an issue but we wanted to see Bora. Don’t go if you’re budget conscious at all or if you want to explore. Much better options on Bora itself.

Our over the water Villa and view were amazing! The staff, the grounds, the spa - fantastic! One (but kinda big deal) issue: depending on where you ate, the food went from just average to practically inedible. Coincidentally, we met another couple after our stay, but before we left Bora Bora, who had the same experience. We’d love to go back, but the food issue needs to get resolved.

Aside from its obvious beauty, I was impressed by the fact that they filter the lagoon water and make it drinkable and upon walking around the property, they also have an organic garden used for the restaurants. The staff remembers and each address you by your name. On our last day, one of the Reef staff actually chased us and gave us a hug. We are already planning our return next year.

Amazing 5 Star Experience!
Amazing hotel with a truly 5 star experience. Service was 10/10 -- staff were extremely friendly and polite. Buffet breakfast was amazing with all the variety and personalization you would need. Our overwater bungalow was very large with an amazing deck area over the water. The only slight complaint was that it was quite windy while we were there and the bungalow made some whistling noise at night. Free use of paddleboards/snorkels/kayaks were great, and the hotel also had a lagoonarium with hundreds of exotic fish you could snorkel with. Not a big surprise, but some of the hotel charges felt a little stingy. For example, it is ~$35 per person to take a short ferry to the main island, and the airport boat transfer was a little pricey - I felt they should have been included.

Thalasso has by far the best view angle of Mount Otemanu in my opinion, which makes this place magical and special from other resorts in Bora Bora. Staffs are friendly and made you feel welcome wherever you go. OWB décor is a bit outdated and some furniture might need some repairs, but overall it still has its charm. Very disappointed there's no fish around our OWB and we see nothing thru our glass-bottom coffee table....I mean what's the point if there's no fish swim under the glass-bottom table? Our check-in experience with Steve (their front desk manager) was very disappointed as well. After he heard us want to take the free ferry from mainland (Vaitape) to airport, instead of direct hotel boat from Thalasso to airport ($80/person), he dropped his face and didn't care to give us any more information regarding our stay in Thalasso, very unpleasant experience especially you just checked-in to the resort with all that excitement and hype. Glad Sarah made up for Steve's rudeness thru her wonderful guide tour when taking us to our OWB with the resort golf cart. Overall, their staffs are very friendly and helpful.

Amazing location, property & staff! Only suggested improvement is food quality. It's expensive which might be unavoidable - regardless of price, the food was really sub par. Often overcooked, under seasoned, tiny portions - we tried the different restaurants over 6 nights and couldn't find one dish we would re-order. Might be the only reason why we wouldn't return. Everything else, esp the staff, was fantastic!
