"I booked a private room. The room was clean with a bed, refrigerator and AC. They have separate women’s and men’s bathrooms for a shower and toilet. There are separate lockable bathroom/showers in each area down the hall from the bedrooms. They had a community room with seating, coffee and tea. The ferry is right across the street making this a very convenient area to stay in. Overall a nice stay."

"We had a wonderful and impressive experience at the InterContinental Tahiti Resort by IHG! From the moment we checked in, everyone—from the front desk team to housekeeping and the restaurant staff—treated us with such warmth, care, and hospitality. We truly felt welcomed throughout our entire stay. The resort is beautiful, with stunning views and gorgeous pools. The service made our stay even more memorable, and we would definitely come back again! The location is also very convenient. From the cruise ship port, it was easy to take a taxi to the resort, and getting to the airport is very quick—only about a 5-minute taxi ride. The hotel can arrange a taxi for you anytime. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay in Tahiti so special. Highly recommended!"
