Pros: Dolphin Quest, Kids Club, nice location, no mosquitos, snorkelling Cons: Bad service, expensive but low quality food, uncomfortable beds
Beachcomber Moorea is now part of the Intercontinental chain and claims to be a "5-star luxury resort" according to the travel brochures we had seen before our trip. It is situated in one of the nicer lagoon areas on the northwest shores of the island....
Pros: friendly front desk staff, views, beauty of overall resort, Spa Cons: restaurant staff, slow check-in
Getting there:
My husband and I arrived at the Moorea Beachcomber Inter-continental after a very long trip from the east coast with only a brief 12 hour stop over in LA quite tired. Getting there was a little long after landing in Tahiti at 4am...
Pros: Spectacular natural beauty, both above ground and in the water. Cons: none, really.
My wife and I had our honeymoon in French Polynesia (Moorea and Bora Bora) in December of '03. While planning this trip, I gained much of the most valuable information here on e-pinions, most notably the reviews of Lord Balfor. I highly recommend that ...
Pros: Well, you are in French Polynesia; how hard can life be? Cons: Price of hotel room should include ear plugs, at least!
Why the title? Because there are numerous wild chickens all over the island, and if you stay at the Moorea Beachcomber Parkroyal, you will find yourself thinking like Mrs. Tweedy from Chicken Run: The only good chicken is a dead chicken!...
Pros: Beautiful property, spacious rooms, wonderful service. Cons: Expense--it will take us awhile to save up enough to make a return trip.
My husband and I stayed in an overwater bungalow at the Moorea Beachcomber Resort for our honeymoon in late September. Before we arrived, I was worried because I had heard rumors that the Sheraton was much nicer. However, when we arrived, we were far...
Pros: Clean property, clean rooms, great service and amazing trip! Cons: People that complain that someone isn't running to them for their every need. RELAX!
First and foremost, people rate the service as bad. When I first booked my honeymoon at this resort I found this review and the comments made about the poor service. I started to fear that a bad choice was made. It wasn't a bad choice at all. The main ...
Pros: Everything about this place was awesome! Cons: We can't afford to come back for awhile!
My new husband and I stayed at the Moorea Beachomber Parkroyal which had been turned into the Intercotinental Hotel. It was an absolutely incredible stay. I can't believe this place got one bad review!! The hotel and its grounds are absolutely...
Pros: Newly refurbished resort Cons: Some refurbishment still underway
As per previous notes on this resort, there was a dire need for the hotel to be thoroughly refurbished. Happily, the three Polynesian resorts that we previously "Parkroyal" are now controlled by the well respected "Intercontinental" group. The new owners...
Pros: Everything about this hotel is wonderful!! Cons: How could there be any cons in paradise?
I have never stayed at a better hotel! The Moorea Beachcomber Parkroyal has since turned into the "Intercontinental Beachcomber Parkroyal". Let me tell you, if you stay here, you will never forget it, and you will never want to leave! The hotel lobby...
Pros: Outstanding hotel; great facilities; Wonderfully, relaxing environment. Cons: Hotel restaurants are ho-hum -- but plenty of off-property establishments to make up.
If the idyllic image of palm trees bowing down to meet the golden sands at which the topaz seas gently lap is to be found, it is to be found on the island of Moorea. A few miles off the coast of Tahiti, Moorea surely is paradise found.
Pros: Beautiful Property, Convenient transportation to restaurants Cons: SERVICE
My husband and I spent the first week of our honeymoon at the Beachcomber Intercontinental Resort (right before it became the Intercontinental Resort). Upon arrival at 6:30 am, we checked out the resort, watched a couple check out of, and watched...
Pros: rooms, not built up, life in French Polynesia Cons: Other guests
Since I was somewhat apprehensive about going to the Beachcomber Parkroyal (which, by the way is now the Beachcomber Intercontinental) after reading several reviews here, I wanted to help out some people who might be in the same predicament I was. I am...
Pros: A Fantastic Resort set in the most beautiful setting Cons: Quite Pricey - for average Food
I recently stayed at the Moorea Beachcomber and due to the fact that we were traveling for 5 weeks, to reduce the cost we opted for a standard room. The resort has been completely refurbished and the standard rooms were decorated beautifully and if...
Pros: Excellent service
Beautiful landscaped resort & lagoon.
Peaceful Cons: Food not the best quality/taste.
My husband & I just returned from a 10 day stay at the Moorea Beachcomber. We did not island hop. Our full stay was at the Beachcomber. I was concerned about our lodging choice (after reading the negative reviews here), yet we could not possibly be ...
