Since it was our honeymoon, we received a little gift from the hotel and headed off to bed. The next morning we woke up and headed straight outside. It was absolutely beautiful (really humid for us dry heat veterans). We went straight to their restaurant at the hotel and had breakfast.
The restaurant has no air conditioning or anything as it is outside. We ate with the birds and other animals outside and walked around exploring our hotel. In the afternoon, we had a transfer from the hotel to the pier where we were catching our ferry to the island of Mo'orea. The pier area has a lot of people around there and we just sat and waited for the ferry to arrive, all-in-all, about an hour. After getting on the ferry and the short ride (about 45 minutes) over to Mo'orea, we had a transfer directly to our hotel, again, another Intercontinental hotel.
It was beautiful. The entire lobby/bar had a roof over it, but other than that it was completely open air. We loved every minute of it. We headed off to our bungalow (not an over-the-water one) and settled in. The room was beautiful with our own pool on the deck and sun lounge chairs. The room had a nice bathroom, a nice sitting/living room area, as well as a separate bedroom. Beware that the room has one air conditioner in the bedroom and other than that the windows are just screens.
So, if you get bit by mosquitoes, head to your local drug store to get some spray. What seemed to work well for Mary was one that we purchased locally at the grocery store, it does include deet, hence the reason it actually works. We explored the hotel a bit which had a dolphin area as well as a sea turtle rehabilitation area. It was magnificent.
We decided to do dinner at the hotel. There we shared a steak and a noodle dish. It was pretty good food (although we were hungry, so it could have just been that). We sat outside for a while before turning in for the night.
