Best Luxury Hotels in Society Islands

"This will be one of two reviews I post from my trip to Tahiti - this resort has got to be the most amazing resort I’ve ever been to. The pools, the grounds, the service, and the actual Tahitian vibe (it’s a corporate hotel, but doesn’t feel like it). You pay a lot for the room, but what you get is amazing, including: - three amazing pools heated to 29/30 Celsius. The Lagoonarium is just incredible - a reef just off the hotel with incredible corals and fish (this sets the Intercon apart from a "

"Just wonderful! Made great use of the beach—absolutely beautiful, easy swimming with small waves, and the spa…aaah fantastic. Food is ok. Have no idea what’s nearby. We never left the property during our 2 night stay"

"Awesome 3 night stay in early May in a nicely decorated and refurbished over water bungalow. Quiet and tranquil. Spectacular views from all the bungalows and around the property. Excellent service. A hands on general manager who personally greets each guest and who was always available for questions and comments. As an avid paddle boarder I enjoyed use of the boards provided for guests. The bungalows sit in waist deep water perfect for swimming, walking, or watching the Eagle Rays swim by."

"Such a welcoming staff. Property was very clean and we were super satisfied with our King Room third floor ocean view! Wow! My only comment would be limited breakfast buffet and they need a real coffee machine. Other wise the a la carte menu was extensive and very high quality."

"Location and beauty of the property is excellent. Food and beverage were way below Hilton standard. Property is in need of updating. Fabulous snorkeling."

"Best hotel ever. Everything you hear and read about this hotel, all true. Staff very kind and hospitable, bungalows are picture perfect. Great breakfast. The lagoon sanctuary is the best to relax by the water. Already planning to return, but this time with my kids."

"One of my favorite things about Manava was the authentic Polynesian vibe. Beautiful place, wonderful staff. Loved being able to snorkel off our own deck - did a premium overwater bungalow for 2 days and private soaking pool bungalow for 1 day. It was fun to experience both types of rooms. The beautiful infinity pool was amazing. We just had a wonderful stay and would love to return again!"

"We spent a week in St Regis for our honeymoon and we both agreed that this has been the best trip of our lives. We did the overwater deluxe bungalow and it was the most incredible room I have been in. The glass cut outs in the floor and just how big these villas are made it feel like our own private oasis. We got the half board package which included daily breakfast and dinner. One of our favorite meals was at bamboo restaurant where we had the Laksa soup (one of the best I've ever had). I also arranged for the mystery dinner which was by far the best experience of the stay (Shaya was our hostess and she was also amazing). Some negatives are there is a huge aggressive mosquito population and I was eaten alive (however my wife was left alone so it is luck of the draw). Staff was attentive and friendly and greeted you by name which was a great personal touch. "

"Amazing bungalows and views. Breakfast was French style buffet and high was great. Very nice and helpful staff."
