InterContinental Bora Bora Le Moana Resort, French Polynesia - Hotel Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"Sixty-two thatched-roof bungalows (the overwater ones could be kitschy but are not) make up this resort on the southernmost point of Bora Bora. Access is by boat from the airport; even breakfast can arrive via outrigger canoes. Widely touted glass coffee-tables are in every overwater bungalow, allowing you to peer like Alice in Wonderland through an aquatic looking glass to the lagoon and coral gardens below. It's heart-warming to see how Polynesian traditions (rooms have hand-sewn Tifaifai bedspreads with botanical motifs, the staff wears pareus ) give you a firm sense of place. The Noa Noa Terrace Restaurant relies on local ingredients from raw fish marinated in coconut and spices to grilled marlin. Deep-sea water therapies at the spa at the resort's sister property, the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa, are heavenly. The edge-of-the-world never felt so good."
