You Don't Need a TV at the InterContinental Bora Bora

We are suckers for a room with a killer view. We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow. Let's help out our fellow hotel mavens by uploading rooms with killer views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. We will feature our favorites in this space from time to time. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number of the hot view.
Now really, people. If you were lying in bed here in your villa at the InterContinental Bora Bora, would you really be looking at that flat-screen television on the wall? Or would you be sitting up with your mouth open, drooling all over yourself while you gazed out at that gorgeous blue ocean view?
Surely it is nice that the TV is in the room, but we just find it so funny that the television is next to such a breathtaking view. We can't believe we're saying this, but we'd actually rather leave the TV off while Prison Break was on so we could stare at a view of Mount Otemanu rather than at Wentworth Miller. We know bold statement.
The hotel, which is located between the “two hearts” of Motu Piti Aau (a coral island on the barrier reef), features a group of over-water bungalows that are arranged in two big horseshoes facing the ocean.
The main attraction of the resort is its Deep Ocean thalassotherapy spa, but if you're not a spa kind of person you can definitely find other stuff to do here (like, uh, enjoy paradise).
The view comes with a bit of a price tag the average rate is around $723 but if the view can make you turn off your TV, it may just be worth it.
