What guests think
Travellers praise InterContinental Bora Bora & Thalasso Spa by IHG for its postcard-worthy setting with Mount Otemanu views and spacious overwater villas, plus generally friendly staff and solid cleanliness standards throughout rooms and grounds, creating a relaxing, high-end island experience.
Facilities include a scenic pool, beach, and an overwater spa, with on-site snorkeling and activities, though marine life near some villas can be limited. Service feedback is mixed despite many compliments, with recurring complaints about slow or unhelpful responses at check-in and concierge, inconsistent treatment around bookings, and occasional difficulties securing late checkout or clear billing. Dining draws praise for breakfast but mixed reviews for dinners and high prices; the remote motu setting also means paid transfers and few off-site alternatives. Expect breathtaking views and generous villas, with costs and service consistency to keep in mind.

OVERALL SUPERB! Cleanliness is top-notch, customer service is friendly, beautiful views of the mountain. The pool is lovely, bungalows are spotless and I did not use the spa, although they're a bungalow over water too.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Das Thalasso ist wirklich ein Traum von Hotel. Ich glaube es gibt keinen besseren Blick auf die Lagune und den Mount Oremanu als vom Pool des Thalasso! Man fühlt sich wie in einer Postkarte! Das Hotel ist unglaublich schön gestaltet mit allen Annehmlichkeiten die man sich nur vorstellen kann. Wir wurden beim Check In auf eine Villa mit Bergblick upgegradet. Beim Betreten der Villa bleibt einem erstmal die Spucke weg. Die Villen sind kleine Häuser, mit begehbaren Kleiderschränken, einem luxuriösen Bad, einem großzügigen Wohnzimmer mit Glasboden und Blick auf die Unterwasserwelt, und einer riesigen Terrasse von welcher aus man direkt auf den Mount Otemanu blickt! Man möchte gar nicht mehr weg… Obwohl am Abend das Restaurant Le Corail geschlossen hatte, wurde uns dennoch die Möglichkeit gegeben auf dieser Karte zu bestellen - und die war wirklich ganz besonders. Wir wurden den ganzen Abend von Irene und der Küche verwöhnt!! Ein großes Dankeschön nochmal an Irene für diesen tollen Abend. Wenn man schon um die halbe Welt fliegt um diese einzigartige Insel zu erleben, dann am besten im Intercontinental Thalasso!!

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.

We got the bungalow overlooking lagoon and the volcano. Each and every room has an awesome view including our back deck. I never wanted to leave. Food was “ok” even the special multiple course meal at the Corail were just so so .. the dessert was excellent though. Breakfast had a decent variety of food which was nice. The lady cooking the omelette section was coughing up a storm both mornings we were there and NOT wearing any masks .. not so nice. The corals in the lagoon were either dead or just not healthy enough to attract any fish (exception was near the spa) so this is the only downside (compared to the Hilton in Moorea) Every single staff was friendly and accommodating.. we would totally recommend this place to any friends or families wishing to visit Bora Bora. Bora bora mai tai was one of the best drinks there.

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.

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 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.

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.

A comfortable stay at the intercontinental thalasso only complaint is they weren’t willing to give a late checkout even though they knew we had a 14:15 private boat transfer booked with them. we eventually got a 12 checkout as I had a spa appointment booked and would have cancelled it as no way I could have bags ready for their 10:40 am time . We also stayed at thalasso for lunch spending even more money . The st Regis was so accommodating in every way and treated us like royalty there was a huge difference

The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful — the views, the overwater bungalows, and the facilities are all stunning. However, I was disappointed with how differently we were treated for booking through Expedia. It was clear that the staff didn’t appreciate the reservation being made via a third party, and despite being a Gold Member with Expedia, I received almost no recognition or benefits. I had to ask multiple times to have my food and beverage credit honored, and they initially tried to charge me more in resort fees and taxes than what was outlined in my Expedia confirmation. I had to wait until the very last day to get the charges adjusted correctly before I could check out. For a luxury hotel, I expected a smoother and fairer experience, regardless of the booking platform.

This has been one of our best luxury hotel experiences; the property is beautiful, with excellent food options. The overwater bungalows are pure luxury and room service is excellent. To top it off, the Staff was phenomenal- everyone was very nice, friendly and helpful which enhanced our stay!

The property is beautiful and the overwater bungalows are well maintained! Breakfast buffet didn’t disappoint either - very good selection of a wide variety of items. Staff at the resort were underwhelming unfortunately in terms of service. This started with my pre-arrival communications with their concierge, which was consistently delayed and slow on Thalasso’s end. This only continued during my stay at the property. Many staff at the pool and restaurants didn’t even speak or understand fluent English. Due to their poor communication skills, they never extended to help in any capacity like providing towels, bringing water, checking in, etc. Overall pretty mixed experience. Expected much better service given how nice the property is.

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

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 property was beautiful. I wish we would have had more time to explore. There were things I didn't even know existed until after we left. Was extremely unhappy with the staff upon our departure. Our flight was canceled and we were booked on another airline which I confirmed before noon. I then called the front desk to confirm what time I needed to be at the dock to head back to the airport. A few hours later, the staff came frantically looking for us to head to the dock about 90 minutes before I was told, leaving us 50 minutes to finish packing and get ready. I assured them, I knew what my departure time was at the airport and they argued with me. They said it was different and basically forced us to leave earlier than scheduled. Horrible experience with such a long flight ahead of us and no time to get ready. And of course, we sat in the unconditioned airport in bora bora for over two hours already feeling disgusting.

Location
Spectacular views of Mount Otemanu and the lagoon are a major draw. Being on a motu limits off-site options and involves paid transfers, which some find costly.

This was the best resort I've ever stayed at. The staff was amazing and accommodating for my entire visit. The views of Mt. Otemanu are the best out of any resort on the island. This is the place to stay in all of Bora Bora. Thank you to the entire InterContinental team for making our stay so special.

OVERALL SUPERB! Cleanliness is top-notch, customer service is friendly, beautiful views of the mountain. The pool is lovely, bungalows are spotless and I did not use the spa, although they're a bungalow over water too.

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.

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.

Tout était parfait à l’exception des repas aux restaurants du soir (corail et sands) qui ne sont pas à la hauteur des prix pratiqués par l’hôtel. Dommage que la nouvelle direction ai choisi d’arrêter de proposer des produits d’artisans locaux car c’est un vrai plus plutôt que tous les produits standardisés et sans grand intérêt. Mention particulière pour le personnel local MADE in Polynésie car cela fait la différence aussi

Avaliação: Minha estadia neste hotel foi simplesmente perfeita! Desde o momento da chegada, fui recebido com extrema cordialidade pela equipe, que sempre se mostrou solícita e atenciosa. O café da manhã merece um destaque especial: além de muito saboroso, é extremamente variado, com opções para todos os gostos. Havia uma seleção incrível de frutas frescas, pães artesanais, bolos caseiros, e até mesmo opções de pratos quentes feitos na hora. Realmente um café da manhã maravilhoso que superou todas as expectativas. A acomodação estava impecável. O quarto era espaçoso, bem decorado e incrivelmente limpo. Cada detalhe parecia ter sido pensado para proporcionar o máximo de conforto aos hóspedes. A cama era extremamente confortável, garantindo noites de sono reparador. Os lençóis e toalhas eram de altíssima qualidade, macios e cheirosos, o que só aumentou a sensação de bem-estar. O restaurante do hotel oferece comidas saborosas, que agradaram a todos os paladares. Além disso, tivemos a oportunidade de fazer um ensaio fotográfico perfeito nas dependências do hotel, aproveitando os belíssimos cenários que o lugar proporciona. Além disso, o hotel conta com diversas comodidades que tornam a estadia ainda mais agradável. A piscina é fantástica, com uma área de lazer que convida ao relaxamento. Em resumo, minha experiência foi maravilhosa em todos os aspectos. Recomendo este hotel de olhos fechados e certamente voltarei em futuras viagens.

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!

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.
