"We were there from Dec 4th to Dec 10th for our anniversary along with kids (6 and 13). All the staff and the manager at the resort were amazing and took excellent care of us! Took the upgrade to the bungalow with the pool which was well worth it.
We lucked out on some great weather almost 6 of the 7 days we were there (had thunderstorms before we visited and it started to rain as we left).
Best parts:
- Resort was not crowded as this was an off-season. Keep in mind that they sometimes book the hotel for corporate events on occasion but these didn’t bother us.
- Kids had a blast with the in-hotel lagoon snorkeling tour (WiseOceans crew) and Marc (the marine biologist) did an amazing job showing them around.
- Plenty of things to do: Tennis courts were great, Paddle board and Kayaks were great. We paid and booked the ski-tour through the concierge and ended up booking a shark/stingray full-day boat tour as the weather turned out great.
- Asian restaurant was good although portions were small especially for the kids. The pizzas at the beach-side grill were great. So we ended up having dinner at the Vaimiti restaurant and ordered pizzas for the kids as they preferred that.
- Every staff member greeted us and kept eye contact as we walked by which was very much appreciated.
- We were really grateful to see that they had self-serve laundry and all machines were in working order.
- We got the bungalow with the pool and that was really amazing. Highly recommend if you have kids."
"Our stay at the St. Regis Bora Bora was nothing short of magical. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking, exquisitely manicured, pristine, and truly paradise in every direction. The service throughout the resort was exceptional, warm, and genuine. Everyone we encountered made us feel so welcomed and cared for. A very special thank you to Marion, our hotel liaison, for making everything absolutely perfect from start to finish and for the incredibly warm welcome. Thank you also to Teva for the wonderful hospitality and excellent service.
To all the staff across the restaurants, housekeeping, grounds, and butler service, your attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism made our stay unforgettable. The food was fantastic, the resort spotless, and every moment felt effortless. We can’t wait to come back to this beautiful, breathtaking place. Highly recommended in every way! "
