Hotel Review: Intercontinental Moorea Resort & Spa

Since we had two days to kill before our flight home, I really wanted to check out the Intercontinental Moorea Resort & Spa.  I had enough points to get us a freebie and booked the usual room offered for awards, a lanai room.

.

I was very pleased to see that my platinum status (courtesy of the Chase Mastercard) got us upgraded to a Garden Pool room!  I’d say this was an excellent use of points!

We had a few visitors, they were mostly interested in the leis we had on the chairs.IMG_1576

We took a stroll around the grounds to the main swimming pool to watch the sunset.IMG_1577 IMG_1579 IMG_1580 IMG_1581 IMG_1582 IMG_1583 IMG_1584 IMG_1585 IMG_1586 IMG_1587
