We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at this hotel, and while the overwater bungalow was breathtaking and the views phenomenal, we found the dining and service aspects a bit disappointing. Drinks and meals were quite pricey, and some attention to detail was lacking. Regardless, it’s a stunning destination worth experiencing, just be prepared for the high costs involved.

The Intercontinental Thalasso Resort is stunning, with breathtaking views and luxurious accommodations that truly feel like a getaway. The overwater villas are spectacular, and the setting is idyllic for relaxation. However, the food and service left much to be desired, often feeling repetitive and uninspired. The location, while beautiful, can feel isolating, especially when amenities are limited on-site and dining options lack variety.

Situated on a motu, the views of Bora Bora and the lagoon are exceptional. However, the isolation can make it challenging to explore beyond the resort, and access to nearby attractions requires a paid boat shuttle.
