My spouse and I stayed at the Moorea Intercontinental Beachcomber Parkroyale for seven nights in early October 1996 while we were on our honeymoon. Nestled between scenic mountains and a tropical lagoon, the Moorea Resort & Spa is an idyllic location to experience authentic French Polynesia. Set within 27 acres of lush gardens, the hotel boasts 144 elegantly appointed rooms and bungalows, local and international cuisine, and an infinity pool with a swim-up bar. Enjoy a range of activities from swimming with dolphins, kayaking in the surf, diving the turquoise seas or relaxing with a bespoke treatment at Hélène’s Spa. The island of Moorea is accessible by plane (10-minute flight with Air Tahiti) or by boat (30-minute fast catamaran). The hotel is located 15 miles from the airport of Moorea and 17 miles from the dock of Moorea. The hotel hosts two restaurants: Fare Nui and Fare Hana, as well as specialty dinners (like luaus and barbecues) on certain nights of the week. All suites from the bungalow garden to the overwater premium bungalow provide luxurious accommodations and are located between fragrant gardens, the white sandy beach, and on the lagoon. These bungalows offer a complete relaxation in the most serene Polynesian atmosphere. Room types include 48 Lanai Rooms, 1 Lanai Suite, 17 Garden Junior Suite Bungalows with private pool, 17 Beach Junior Suite Bungalows, 11 Premium Beach Junior Suite Bungalows (with an open view of the ocean), 21 Overwater Junior Suite Bungalows, and 29 Premium Overwater Junior Suite Bungalows (with an open view of the ocean). All rooms and bungalows have air-conditioning, telephone, television, mini bar, tea / coffee service, safe, iron and ironing board. Lanai Rooms feature a terrace with table and chairs, and a bathroom with a bathtub with integrated shower. The bungalows are junior suites with a bedroom and living room. Their sofa bed can accommodate two children comfortably. The bathroom has a bathtub with separate shower. The terraces of the bungalows include a sundeck furnished with two sun beds, a gazebo with a thatched roof and a dining table and chairs. The garden bungalows also come with a private swimming pool, the beach bungalows have direct access to the beach, and overwater bungalows have access to the water by a platform at lagoon level.
