Stayed for 4 nights at the Inter Continental. Beautiful hotel with all the amenities you could want. Warm and friendly staff. We paid for a garden view room and to our delight received a Sea View. The room was lovely with all the teak floors and paneling. The Shower/Tub combo was a good step up for me, I'm 5'4", so you need to be very careful. You can get a lot of great shots of the dolphins without paying for the experience, but if you have never done it before I would recommend you do there. They are amazing mammals.

The food! Don't pay for the seafood Polynesian beach buffet. YUCK! The only things that I could eat was the steak, bread and some of the desserts. Now we don't mind paying BIG Bucks for a great dinner, but to pay for yuck is another story. $138 each for dinner,$2.50 for coffee and $7 for a large bottle of water.( we drank the hotel water and never got sick) We bought wine also, which was good and no matter where you go in the Islands you re going to pay at least $30 for a bottle. We ate the rest of the time at the restaurant by the pool. There beef was very good, steak sandwich and hamburgers were great. My husband had the Caesar Salad quite a few times it was the best he ever had. I had the lamb with potato gnocchi and it was outstanding.

The water and the pool and the view of the mountains, motus,oceans petting the stingrays and just being in Moorea " PRICELESS".

French Polynesia is by far the most expensive place you will ever go and when you home you will dream of going back at any price.

We had an overwater bungalow. Only the porch was overwater, unlike other hotels where the entire bungalow is overwater. That was a major disappointment. Our suite had inadequate air conditioning....the sleeping room was ok if the doors to the other area were closed, but the sitting area was an oven, even with the air conditioning on full blast.

The barbecue dinner was so vile we could not eat it. Steak was rubber; chicken was cold; fish was dry. The rice was ok, but $90 bucks for rice and vegetables is just a bit high!

The Mai tais were fruit punch, for $18 each.

The grounds were beautiful, but for $800 a night we should not have had to deal with these problems.

Our stay at the IC in Moorea was the 3rd leg in a business incentive trip through my husband's company.

We really enjoyed our stay at the IC Moorea. Our bungalow was very nice- the air conditioning was perfectly cool, the room was clean, bed very comfortable and the sea life outside was very active. The dolphin center was cool to go and watch. We had our BEST buffet dinner at this resort.

We loved that there were vendors selling Tahitian pearls in the lobby and got some very good deals on beautiful jewelry.

We also had the opportunity to rent a car and drive around Moorea- which was GREAT. I highly recommend the drive up to the Belvedere Lookout- the view from there is amazing!

Overall a great experience here and I highly recommend it!

My wife and I stayed at the IC Moorea as a part of our honeymoon. We took a ferry from Papeete to Moorea, and were left with taking a taxi from the ferry dock to the resort (which cost 4000 XPF or about $50USD one-way given the March 2008 exchange rate).

We arrived to the hotel, began check-in process and were immediately given a nice pineapple beverage. I showed my Ambassador Club membership card while checking-in, which allowed for a room upgrade. I had reserved a beach bungalow, and was expecting to be upgraded to an overwater bungalow. But we were very surprised when we arrived at a beach bungalow. I returned to the front desk and spoke with the duty manager, Stéphane Lefranc. After about 20 minutes of explaining that as a part of the Ambassador Club membership I was expecting to be upgraded to an overwater bungalow, Monsieur Lefranc was kind enough to work with us. We were supposed to receive a honeymoon gift when we arrived in our room, but that was left off the reservation and only arrived the next day after I called the front desk.

Our overwater bungalow was very nice - it was next to the resort's dolphin center, which provided extra entertainment throughout the day. We had purchased the American breakfast when booking the room online, and it was excellent with a wide variety of hot and cold items. The hotel provides two hours of kayak use per day, which was a nice amenity. The hotel staff (porters, housekeeping, etc) was extremely friendly and provided great service. The concierge was helpful in making dinner reservations, booking activities, and the transfer back to the ferry dock (about 600XPF/person). The resort is beautiful, but does get quiet at nights as there's not much to do on the island after sunset. Our overwater bungalow is like most at the IC Moorea, with only the balcony completely over-water (but that was plenty for us).

All in all, despite the few hassles in the beginning, we had a great time at the IC Moorea.
