Intercontinental Bora Thalasso, Faanui

We liked EVERYTHING about the Thalasso! It was comfortable, private, great staff,and great food! The overwater bungaloos were beautiful and comfortable. We enjoyed the restaurants, the lounge, even the Spa experience. We tried it all while we were there and have not one regret. It was not a cheap vacation but in this case you truly get what you pay for! Worth EVERY penny!

We have stayed at 5-star resorts all around the world and would consider ourselves to have a keen and very critical eye. We find that we are constantly evaluating and measuring various aspects of a property to see what works and what doesn’t as well as what could be improved upon. All we can say is congratulations on Bora Bora Thalasso, you may have achieved perfection. We can honestly say that from the stunning design to the incredible quality of construction, from the impeccable maintenance (it is literally impossible to tell whether the resort is 4 years or 4 days old) to the preservation of natural beauty and, finally, the training and impeccable service of the staff, this may be the best hotel we have ever stayed at.

My wife and I stayed here in Aug. 2006. At the time it was their "soft opening" so we got a good rate. The resort grounds are beautiful and the rooms were very spacious and nicely decorated. We hope to go back some day. The food and drinks are very expensive...If you can add a meal plan, do it. Also, go across to the main island to buy any snack food and drinks to keep in your room at the local market...MUCH cheaper. Definately the best vacation we've ever had.

the resort is huge, lots of beach. Staff is attentive & food is EXELLANT. Over the water bugalow's a rip off, no coral underneath, just sand & water to observe. Feeding of rays daily, was awesome. VERY expensive to eat & drink, bring liquor, if possible. LOVED the resort, very tranquil.

My husband and I stayed here for our second week of our honeymoon in 2006 after being in Moorea and Tahiti. The hotel had just opened, in fact, we were the first to stay in our over-water bungalow. The hotel was fantastic. The view was magnificent and the decor fabulous. I actually had tears in my eyes (and yes, my husband still makes fun of me about this). This is truly the place to go if you want seclusion. The pool was never crowded. The only problem we encountered was getting ice. However, the resort was so new that they did not have all of the ice machines working yet. The food was good. We had a meal plan and ate most of our meals at the resort. The tuna was very good. The snorkeling around the resort was pretty good as well. We saw a great deal of sea life while snorkeling right around the hotel. We can not wait to go back. We kept saying when we were there that we would go back for our seven-year-itch anniversary. Hopefully we will be able to accomplish this. I have travelled all over the world and I will readily tell everyone that this is definitely the most romantic and breath-taking place I have ever seen.
