Intercontinental Hotel & Resorts Hotels in Nunu＇e

RECEPTION: Check in here seemed to take a little longer than anywhere else we stayed. They wanted a printout of the reservation at this hotel, so it would be in your best interest to print it out at home and take a hard copy with you. This made our check in take even longer as I had to access their WiFi and then forward my reservation to them. However, even though we arrived about an hour early, our room was ready and they showed us where to go. They did not deliver us like the other resorts we stayed at, but this is a smaller resort and it was a short walk. Our luggage was waiting for us when we walked in our room. Check In: 2:00 p.m. Check Out: Is at 11:00 a.m. GROUNDS The grounds are lush and tropical. Really felt like you were in the South Pacific. Tall palm trees and lots of vegetation and flowers. They are well manicured and always clean. Pathways are well lit and easy to maneuver. ROOMS Our room category was a beach bungalow, so we were not over the water, but right on the beach. The interior of the rooms are well appointed with a lot of teak, bamboo and thatch. It really boasted a Polynesian feel. A separate bedroom from the living room that could be closed off by a sliding door. Bathroom, or “wet room” as they call them, had plenty of towels, beach towels, robes, and slippers.

Seriously, the size of the lagoon is huge and goes on and on and never went above my waist. They do have buoys in the water so you don’t go out into boat traffic. The water was warm and the area was relatively flat and sandy, with obviously some coral. Water shoes are must because of the presence of sea urchins and coral. The best snorkeling is by the overwater bungalows where they are creating more and more reefs to attract the fish. There is a shower on your deck so you can rinse the sand off your feet before you walk back in your room. Because we had 3 other couples with us, I felt like the whole beach area was private for just our group. It was amazing. There were two complimentary aluminum bottles in our room. Use these for drinking water. There is a filling station by the beach huts and also by the overwater bungalows. We were fortunate as the filling stations was right outside our door. FOOD This was the only place I did not care for our included breakfast. It was okay and it got the job done, but two days the food was cold, and we got there right when they opened. Not as many options as the other two places we stayed, but again, it was included so it filled us for a good portion of the day. Except for breakfast and the Polynesian night, we ate off grounds at Lucky House and Bora Bora Beach Club. These were b
