Intercontinental Moorea Review (Tahiti, French Polynesia)

Intercontinental Moorea Review - Transport Options
To get to Moorea from Tahiti you have the choice between the ferry and plane. We chose to fly since that would be easy to fold into our Bora Bora trip and the flying times would work very well. However the flight is just 10 minutes with a small ATR-72.
Intercontinental Moorea Review - Room
The hotel recognized my IHG Platinum status and to my surprise send us off to complimentary breakfast. Not a published benefit at all but I take it. After breakfast at 11 AM our room would be ready which was in the main building. I had used 40,000 IHG Rewards points for the room per night. To upgrade to an overwater bungalow (though those are only half over water) it is $200. The building certainly looked worn from the outside and the room was older as well. However many items were newer and the bed was in fantastic shape and the linen was lovely.

Intercontinental Moorea Review - Food
Ala carte food is expensive at the resort with entrees about $35 for dinner. Snacks during the daytime can be had for about $10-$20. Breakfast buffet is charged at CFP 3,900 but IHG Rewards Club members can buy it for 50% off if they 'prepay' for the entire duration of their stay. This isn't a bad deal and there isn't exactly a number of coffee shops around it! The breakfast was of good quality with lots of European and American options.
