In a bit of irony I just received a notice for the newest video of the Intercontinental Tahiti resort. Having stayed there I am pleased to confirm that it actually looks like it does in the video. So if a cruise is not in your plans, or you are looking for an excellent pre-cruise hotel, consider the Intercontinental Tahiti.
