Intercontinental Bora Bora Le Moana Resort

The hotel is on a beach in a big lagoon the Matira beach area. The set up with water bungalows is superb as the lagoon is shallow and no current so one can laze in the water from the water bungalow or beach. The food too has superb variety as is the sumptuous and large variety breakfast. The service too was very good with everyone from reception to staff very polite and helpful and fast. And of course not to forget Lawrence the Director general of the resort who went out of her way to help in all ways. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Bora Bora. One main reason being that the hotel is on the mainland of the island and one can drive around to Vaitape the centre at any time.

We were not staying at the intercontinental , but we booked a dinner there for the Polynesian dance event . We have been very disappointed by the experience : 1) As we were not staying in the hotel , our table was the worst possible position .When I complained to the Manager that I was not informed that the worst tables are allocated to the non staying guests and that no information given before I paid during my booking directly at the hotel .The Manager said she can't do anything . 2) The buffet food was terrible , very limited choice and many dishes are finished and we need to wait for a refill and rush there as other people were also looking for food . Even simple food like raw tuna , which is widely available in French Polynesia was not served , the porc meat supposed to be cooked Chinese way was not good and certainly cooked by a Chef who have little knowledge of Chinese cuisine , the western food wax not better . I pity the staying guests who have to suffer this buffet every day . 3) The high price doesn't even include water ! 4) As it was impossible to see the show from our table , we have to stand up to see the performance of the dancers . 5) The only positive element of the evening was the dancers and their show . Overall a big disappointment with Intercontinental dining event ,quality well below what could be expected from an hotel affiliated to the Intercontinental brand .

Magnificent bungalow (no. 26) with an incredible lagoon view. Swimming and snorkeling at will with a multitude of fish. The hotel is very beautiful, well-maintained, with very welcoming and attentive staff, and the presence of the manager upon our arrival and departure. Excellent breakfast. We have very fond memories of this paradise-like place.
