Bora Bora?

Hey ladies!

I'm planning our honeymoon/one year anniversary/babymoon trip to Bora Bora next June...has anyone been there and can you give me any feedback or info?

We're planning to stay at the InterContinental Thalasso & Spa and also at the St. Regis.

Thank you!

We're planning Bora Bora as well. We are spending a few days in California before we head to Bora Bora since we would have to connect in LAX anyways. We haven't decided on Four Seasons or St Regis yet. Are you going to any other islands or staying only on Bora Bora?

how exciting you will love it... We went in March for our honeymoon and stayed 10 nights at the Hilton Moorea and 10 Nights at the St Regis Bora Bora.. They are both so different.. We stayed in a premium over water bungalow at both hotels and am dreaming about the day we will return.I have alot of pictures of the hotel room etc... if you want to send me your email address I would be happy to share them with you....and give you a good idea of what rooms you should request? Any reason why you are thinking of the Intercon in Moorea?

Moorea is breathtaking... and is actually my favorite out of the two but the St Regis is amazing.. In a perfect world the St Regis in Moorea would be the best of the best! In Moorea the water is crystal clear with tons of fish, coral and underwater life and only about 5 feet deep of our your villa. In Moorea you can venture outside of the hotel and dine at some great restaurants. In Bora Bora the water is completly flat an aqua almost like a big gigantic pool but not crystal clear like Moorea and only a few fish, rays and sharks amd its about 10 feet deep off of your villa..We dove 4 times in both islands and loved it but Moorea hands down was the best! The St. Regis Bora Bora is on its own little island so you really dont need to leave the resort much.. The service is first class and the villas are breathtaking.. The food is great although we did go to dinner one night at the Le Meridian next door just to switch it up a bit and realized quick we should have never left our paradise...We did visit the Intercon in Moorea however the Hilton Moorea overwater villas were just renovated and much nicer and they also had a much larger beach. The Intercon was a nice hotel we had dinner there one evening however in my opinion its a little too touristy with the dolphins experience and everything? Not really a true French Polynesia property but beautiful! I actually am in the hotel business so unfortunatly I am a little more judgemental than most sorry... I am happy to answer any questions and super jealous of your upcoming stay!

ajncooter - I am staying at the Hilton in Moorea for my honeymoon in May. I am staying in the new garden bungalows that have a private pool. Did you by chance see those during your stay?? Do you have any restaurant or execursion recommendations?

ida - I am also going to Bora Bora after Moorea and will be staying at the IC Thalasso. It looks beautiful!!! Can't wait

I haven't gone yet but we are honeymooning there 5 nights in Morrea in a beach bungalow at the intercontinental and 5 nights in Bora Bora in an overthewater bungalow at the Intercontinental Thalasso. We can't wait!! Honestly, its Bora Bora I don't think you can go wrong with any resort...you are in Paradise!!!

you guys are going to have a blast... it was breathtaking morning noon and night... we actually registered for our honeymoon and was very lucky to be able to go for 3 weeks. We had our wedding in cab at the riu palace and stayed there 10 nights with out guests staying the week and then we went to dreams cabo for 7 nights after as we werent going on our honeymoon until march it was a great time...

jerzeygirl... i saw the garden bungalows in moorea but didnt see any with a pool? but we just walked around for a bit as we were pretty far out on the dock in a overwater bungalow.. we have pictures of the property if you want to pm me your email i would be happy to share some pictures...

we are hoping to do the seychelles and maurtius islands this year.. i hear its very similiar there but alot further away.. we are not looking forward to the flight... hahahah

i will definitly share our pictures.. i know convincing my hubby to take the flight wasnt easy but it will be worth it in the long run.. It actually isnt anymore expensive than our trip to Moorea and Bora Bora just a longer flight with a stopover in Dubai. This will also probably be our last big international trip as we will also be trying for a family soon as my time is ticking so they say hahahah. where are you guys staying in hawaii?
