  Tropical paradise. Beautiful grounds, clean room and extremely friendly staff; super close to PPT airport.

  We were here for a quick 24 hour stay before heading on. The hotel is less than a 5 minute taxi ride from PPT. Super convenient if you are flying on to other islands later. Our room was clean and pleasant. Spacious enough with a small balcony outside. Excellent air conditioning kept our room cool and comfortable. We spent little time in our room though, because the tropical grounds and the inviting pool outside were where we spent our only day here. Note: in mid April 2025, one large pool is under renovation construction. We enjoyed evening drinks on the lower level in the Tiki Bar after our flight got in. The wait staff were super friendly and accommodating. Relaxing ambiance and authentic Polynesian vibe. The pool with the swim up bar was ideal for a day of relaxing in the sun. We had delightful conversation with the hospitable bartender and she made us delicious drinks complete with lovely garnishes. This pool has an incredible white sand bottom so it is very soft on your feet. It has an incredible view of Moorea across the way. We spent the large majority of our day here in the pool, savoring the splendor of the tropical sights and sounds around us while soaking up the sparkling sunshine. Every employee we encountered was friendly, gracious and welcoming. We very much enjoyed our extremely brief stay here and we will return again in the future.

  Old, badly maintained hotel. Insulting staff at the Le Lotus restaurant

  We stayed here a night on our way to Bora Bora. Overall this hotel is not good at all. First off, it is an older property (which is ok, as we stayed at the older St. Regis as well and that was a spectacular experience), but more so that it is badly maintained. The carpets are torn in the common areas, food and water were spilled in the restaurants and nobody cleaned it up. The rooms are much smaller and oddly designed and the breakfast buffet the next day was just average. However, the reason for my low rating is mostly because of our dinner experience. We had just landed from our US flight and were tired, but we had to walk a LOT for our dinner at Le Lotus, which was all the way on the other side of our room. There was no option to get a golf cart ride, the pathways were so dark that we thought we were lost and we passed 3 restaurants on the way and thought it was ours (as there are no signs), only to be told by staff it’s not ours. We finally made it feeling a bit exhausted and sweaty. Although the food was actually good, the whole meal was ruined by the staff. No one came by to take our order for about 15min, until we got up to remind them. It was so hot and muggy, yet the staff kept turning off the slowly running fan and then when we prepared to leave after signing the check with our room number (like every other guests would do), the staff lady who was waiting on us calls us back and confirmed we are hotel guests and hadn’t checked out yet. It was the most bizarre thing we’ve experienced in our decades of traveling. It’s almost as though she didn’t trust we were going to pay up or were legit hotel guests. No other customers were questioned, but somehow she felt that the only non-white couple in the restaurant should be double-checked. Hard to believe this is a Intercontinental hotel 🤷‍♂️

  Not 5 star experience

  Didn’t like this hotel. I found it to be expensive for horrible food. Bad service. If they could charge for air they would. We stayed as part of a cruise package. Wouldn’t do this again. Especially here. Food is so expensive and it’s horrible. They can’t get a simple order right and you wait ages for food. The room was ok. No complaints there. Just wasn’t feeling it. They need to do better

  lovely staff, a bit too busy

  we stayed at this hotel before and it did not seem as busy or we forgot, the llocation is excellent for flights to the islands , a mere 10 min drive to airport and it has a alovely location with small overwater bungalows and pools. one pool was under construction which did not bother us but in general the hotel was incredibly full . Swimming in the lagoon was lovely snorkeling amazing as a lot of fish and they teach you about the small turtles they have. Lovely staff especially Teva made our stay so much easier and we are very grateful ! the overwater bungalows could be bigger but we enjoyed them nonetheless. It seems in general a hotel for families with children . Food in the main restaurant was amazing !

  Too Expensive

  The hotel very pleasant but does not deserve it's 4.5 stars, the hotel seems a little tired, the problem was it was very expensive, buffet breakfast was a staggering $45 or 70 UK pounds for two! And it wasn't that great. We weren't aware that the pool would closed till September.
