  Bucket List Trip

  Definitely a trip of a lifetime. By the time we left, we had traveled throughout the island and around it many times. We spent 6 nights at this beautifully located resort. We had a villa on the water overlooking the Otemanu. The staff was amazing and our butler, Diana, was personable and kind. Made our 30th wedding anniversary so special from a decorated bed, champagne and desserts. The concierge team did a wonderful job booking all our excursions: -A catamaran tour around the island on the Vitamin Sea II with Captain Thelma and mate, Jane. A relaxing ride, with snorkeling and a swim. Both were attentive and taught us about the island. -A hiking tour with Django, the local tour guide. A native and knowledgeable of everything Bora Bora, he did an amazing job taking us to breathtaking views of the water and the lush landscapes. -ATV with “H” who took us to more breathtaking views of the water and landscapes. And more island history. And a stop at the Bora Bora Masson Art Gallery. -Sunset boat ride with Mano who took us to different areas around the island before watching the sunset. Then dropped us to St. James for dinner. -Jet skiing with Miranew around the island and a special snack on the Motu. -Jeef Tour with Adolf through out the landscape. All tours taught us different things about the island and showed different views. Very little overlap. On the St. Regis property, we enjoyed the food everywhere but we really enjoyed Bamboo, Farniente and Te Pahu. Alexandre at the Te Pahu bar made the best drinks! The spa was relaxing and Dewa was a wonderful masseuse! Loved having bicycles to ride everywhere, the lagoonarium was an easy way to see some beautiful sea life and they had many options of activities to keep you busy. The buildings and pool areas could use a little refreshing. But didn’t affect our stay. Love that they have the movie Couples Retreat on loop since it was filmed there. Again, a wonderful trip and we are planning when we will visit again.

  Perfection

  Our stay at The St. Regis Bora Bora was truly the trip of a lifetime. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were completely blown away by the beauty, the service, and the unforgettable experience the resort created for us. The overwater villa was even more spectacular than we imagined — spacious, luxurious, and offering the most breathtaking views of the crystal-clear lagoon and Mount Otemanu. Every morning waking up to that scenery felt like a dream. The villa was perfectly appointed with thoughtful details, and the service from our butler team made everything feel so seamless and special. The grounds of the resort are absolutely stunning — everything from the lush gardens to the private beaches feels like it was straight out of a postcard. We loved exploring the property by bike, snorkeling right off the beach or at the lagoon, and simply relaxing and soaking in the views. Dining at the resort was also a major highlight. Each meal was wonderful. Lagoon Restaurant was an experience in itself — incredible food in a setting you truly can’t find anywhere else. What made the trip even more special was the warm and genuine hospitality from every member of the staff. Every interaction was so kind, attentive, and personal — we truly felt cared for the entire time. Leaving was so hard — we truly fell in love with The St. Regis Bora Bora, and we’re already dreaming about when we can come back. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

  Beautiful resort, bucket list place for sure. Food and select non-Polynesian staff service should be better

  As many have described here, this place is well appointed and luxurious and we were happy to be in one of the biggest villas with 2 bedrooms and our private pool. Yes, it is supposedly older than other choices, but it is nicely maintained and the local Polynesian staff (like Vaite and her concierge colleagues) were extremely helpful and courteous. The reason for my 4 stars (could have been 3 too), instead of 5, is two reasons: 1) The food and drinks were hit or miss, depending on where you were eating or who was preparing it that day. One day the cocktails tasted good with alcohol, other times it was just juice with no taste of alcohol (kind of those scammy Mexican all-inclusive resorts). There is only one choice for lunch: the Aparima place, which had the same menu everyday and we pretty much tried every possible option. One or two things were fine, while several other items were just badly cooked or had very little flavor. For dinner, it seems like it kept getting better for us. First we tried the Italian place (Ferniente), which was just ok, the next time we tried Asian at Bamboo, which was better and then we did French at Lagoon, and that was good. Interesting to note that there was a gnocchi dish at the French restaurant that was much better than the Italian restaurant - go figure. For a St. Regis caliber resort, I expected top notch quality and flavor and not too watered down drinks. 2) As I said the Polynesian staff were really nice and we felt seen and cared for. However, as you can expect, there were many from other places like France too and while most were equally helpful and courteous, I didn’t really care for some of the white shirt managers like Thomas, who must have ignored us every day, including the time we were waiting for our boat ride to the airport. He personally escorted and provided water to every other couple, except us. Apparently being Bonvoy Platinum or spending more money than almost any other family wasn’t enough for them to just acknowledge the brown-skinned people.

  Beyond expectations

  St. Regis Bora Bora St. Regis is wonderful but a little older with a little more wear and tear. But their service is way above expectations. The rooms are much larger. Honeymoon and Birthday Bora Bora We booked our trip through the "Pacific for Less to Bora Bora" French Polynesia. We contacted Pacific for Less. Ms. Claudia immediately sprang into action. She was amazing and if there was ever a Wonder Woman of the Travel agent business it has to be her. In my opinion, this wonderful vacation would not have been as enjoyable or as memorable if we had used an internet based travel service. I would not go anywhere else for travel arrangements or advice except to Pacific for Less. Sincerely, Nick and Yuhong
