Idk Sebby, I guess its a decent spot if you want access to the town but $1k/night dont seem worth it. Room didnt seem all that great other than the table, wouldve liked to see u feed some fish with it. Akward and tiny TV setup. Sure you're not there to watch TV but this is a 5 star property. A lot of OW bungalows in Maldives have their own private pools too. I know this is Bora Bora but thats what Id compare it too as thats what I think of for the OW bungalow exp. The shallow murky water didnt look appealing enough. Would have like to see the pool and spa on the property. You didnt look all that impressed tbh overall, food looked pretty mid too. Call me picky but Id rather do the extra leg to the Maldives for the full experience or cut the flight shorter and hit Maui for the superior food and activities while potentially saving some $. I say all this as an IHG loyalist and IC Ambassador. I love their Byredo bath products. Was there an Ambassadors club? Most recent refurb in 2010 so almost a decade and a half ago. Definitely needs a more modern refresh imo. Also what a weird shower setup, looks cramped and no enclosure.
Paolyn boathouse in Coron Palawan is better than this, and cheaper. Its on a lagoon with beautiful corals, good for snorkeling, clear crystal water and surrounded with limetones cliffs.
Hey, question about rhe ferry across to the thalasso. Do you know what the cost is to take it over? We are wanting to do 3 nights at le moana and then 5 at the thalasso. Dont want to pay the exorbitant cost from the airport to resort provided by IHG
It should be 3390 XPF (~$30 USD) one-way from Le Moana to Thalasso. IIRC, it was free before 2pm but not sure if that's changed. I think you're strategy makes sense. I feel 5 nights at Thalasso might be a tad too long, but depends on you and your Player 2 :) For 8 nights, I'd probably do 2 at Le Moana + 3 at Thalasso + 3 at Conrad. YMMV.
@SebbyFung thank you for the reply! We are travelling with our kids (4 + 6) so limited bouncing around is better for all involved 🤣 we are coming from new zealand and usually do fiji and the cook islands. 10 year anniversary we thought let's splurge. The other thing we could do is conrad instead of le moana but I'm assuming the transfer between the two resorts will be a crazy price once again.
Conrad has a bit more optionality for activities: mini golf, tennis, and they have a kids club (if you need time off!) On day of arrival/departure it's 7500 XPF per person (~$68 USD) so that might make it a skip. Worth considering though (Conrad video was uploaded on Sunday; less of a focus on kids stuff but hopefully helps for everything else).

Yep, definitely lots of room for improvement. Other properties definitely feel more premium (but will let you be the judge on those videos!) 🙃
Cool way to feed the fishes
It was fun!
Nice trip

@@SebbyFungSo, the best play, is to go to the resort directly since it’s the same cost and if you want to go to Vaitape take the complimentary?
