  Truly Heaven on Earth!!!

  Our stay was absolutely incredible. I have traveled to many tropical islands and locations and they all pale in comparison to Bora Bora. The St. Regis resort is nothing but spectacular and feels almost surreal to be on the same planet! From the thoughtful staff (shout out to our butler Julian who was phenomenal), to the breath taking views, and even the Lagoonarium which was the most phenomenal snorkel experience I have ever had. I cannot recommend this stay enough. Thankfully Claudia at Pacific4Less was able to clue us in on this once in a lifetime stay and made sure our trip was nothing less than perfect. If you are looking for a trip of a lifetime, be sure to reach out to Pacific4Less, you wont be disappointed.

  St Regis Bora Bora - STUPENDOUS in every way!

  The St Regis on Bora Bora was STUPENDOUS in very way. It was one of the most beautiful and special places I’ve ever been. You are greeted at the airport by the hotel staff and taken by boat through the beautiful blue waters of Bora Bora to the resort. The overwater villas are extremely spacious, immaculate and absolutely gorgeous with care taken to provide stunning views and privacy at the same time. Each villa has their own deck complete with lounge chairs, a little table and chairs for enjoying a cup of coffee or room service meal and a fresh water shower on your dock. The bed and pillows were heavenly. Each villa is provided with bicycles to use during your stay. The resort has a tennis court (one of 2 courts on the island I believe)- grass court, well-maintained and of course overlooking the lagoon. The resort has free rackets to use. They also have a gorgeous very large Lagoonarium where you can do all the snorkeling you want without having to book a special excursion- all in calm and crystal clear waters with amazing coral and fish species. We also scheduled a 2 hr session with Lucie (marine biologist from Sea Narea) who was delightful and educated us about coral. Then she took us into the Lagoonarioum where we planted our newly cut coral in the garden coral nursery with a tag (so we can get updates)…how cool is that?! The very handsome ‘beach staff’ attended to your every need - from inflating your floatie to offering ice water to opening a fresh coconut for you - all with extremely friendly smiles and gracious Polynesian hospitality. They were utterly delightful. Hiro was our concierge and created a complete itinerary for our stay that had every detail. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient and went above and beyond in every way to help us (even sharing some insights about how to navigate our next island on our tour). Thank you Hiro! The food at all the restaurants was amazing from breakfast to dinner with incredible service and personal attention. Finally our stay was crowned by our butler Oceane who was gracious, kind and utterly delightful. She came up with daily ways to help and surprise us and very significantly enhanced our stay. From start to finish every single detail of the St Regis Bora Bora was pure excellence at the very highest levels. There are different wonderful places - but nothing could surpass this. Every single person cared that your stay was perfect and did their best to contribute to that goal. I even managed to leave my sweater on the main island at a restaurant one night and multiple people offered to pick it up on their own time. Needless to say I got my sweater back! This was the trip of a lifetime and I’ll return to the St Regis on Bora Bora. I’m so grateful to every single person. Thank you for what you do and who you are.

  Exceptional Resort Escape

  Dream resort for many years — the region and the property lived up to the hype. We were lucky to have stayed during the Christmas holiday, as it afforded us the chance to experience festive season at the property, which was very well done. The magic of the season was explicated well. Service: World-class professionalism and friendliness exhibited by the staff. Laure — and Chloe when Laure was not scheduled — were impressively attentive and seemed to care very much that guest satisfaction was attained. From personalized gifts to arranging our requests well, the two of them worked tirelessly to ensure a seamless stay. All while balancing the needs of other guests they needed to attend to. Nuuvai and Kennie at the concierge were exceptional. Personable, friendly, and incredibly positive. They assisted us with our activities and allowed us a space to play many games of pool after meals in the concierge center. Always welcomed by name and a personal note. Truly world class! Staff across the resort, from housekeeping to the pool team were always friendly and genuinely interested in the wellbeing of the guests. We heard the same from other guests. The food was thoughtfully crafted, with Thomas coming to check in on us frequently. The staff at the breakfast restaurant was also very welcoming, albeit during a busy set of services through the holidays. Highlight was the Italian restaurant and the vodka rigatoni. The Christmas buffet was also excellent and incredibly indulgent. Other aspects, from transit to the amenities, were clearly well-practiced. The villas were spacious and well placed. We made good use of the golf carts. Overall, the stay was wonderful and helped us celebrate the great occasion of being in such a paradise as Bora Bora.

  Awesome stay

  What a wonderful experience at this resort. From the moment we checked in Maxene at the front desk, was awesome sharing details about our room and stay. We were then greeted by Emma our lovely associate who did an amazing job getting us situated at the resort. She would find us around the property to ensure we had everything we needed. She made our anniversary SO special with a surprise cake in our room, definitely had me teared up. We brought wine and she made sure it was at the restaurant prior to our dinner reservation. Ameretti, Karen and Lola were fantastic at the breakfast buffet. Ensured my son’s nut allergies were taken care of and we didn’t have any issues with food. They all were so friendly and helpful. Resort itself was gorgeous and what truly made it unique was the fabulous staff and awesome customer service. We spent 5 days here and not a day went by where we were not happy about something. From the rooms, to the beaches/pool to the restaurants everything was fantastic. This was definitely a trip to remember and a resort we will be returning to.

  A once-in-a-lifetime trip I hope to experience again. Beautiful location, wonderful service, unique experiences.

  TLDR: We absolutely loved our stay at the St. Regis and are counting down the days until we can return. I don’t think I’d want to stay anywhere else! The Lagoonarium is a unique feature and the Butler service is incredible (especially Océane). The service overall is the most high quality, attentive service I’ve ever experienced. It truly feels luxurious, and you feel like the staff really do care about you having a wonderful experience in Bora Bora. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– My mom and I decided to stop in Bora Bora for 4 nights on our way to a wedding in Fiji, and we are SO glad that we decided to visit. From start to finish, our stay at the St. Regis was wonderful. You are greeted at the airport by staff and escorted onto a boat that takes you to the resort — a jaw-droppingly beautiful ride I may add! We were greeted by staff and Teva, the cultural ambassador, who was singing and playing a ukulele when we docked. Our butler Océane greeted us and took us on a tour of the hotel property. Even though we arrived at 10am and our room wasn’t ready until 3pm, we were able to enjoy breakfast, change our clothes, explore the property, and even relax at the private oasis pool. The over-water bungalow was absolutely amazing. It was incredibly spacious with all the amenities you could possibly need: air conditioning, 2 TVs, an iron/board, mini fridge and coffee setup, outdoor lounging chairs and table… the photos speak for themselves! The layout and privacy screens give a sense of privacy and seclusion which is very nice. Swimming off our private dock and relaxing on our porch were wonderful ways to enjoy the morning — especially with the complimentary tea/coffee we had delivered each morning! The bikes were really fun ways to get around, and if it was raining or if we were tired we could always have someone pick us up on a golf cart. Activities we did: - Flower crown making with Teva (free) - Champagne sabering (free) - Played tennis (free) - Snorkeled in the Lagoonarium (free) - Coral cutting & planting activity with the marine biologist on staff - Jet ski tour around the island of Bora Bora + stopping at the Bora Bora Beach Club for lunch - Scuba diving Our butler, Océane, was incredibly thoughtful and had such attention to detail, somehow remembering exactly what our plans were each day and making sure to check in on how each activity went. She really made our stay feel like we were at home. We will always remember her warm smile and thoughtful surprises whenever we think of our stay on Bora Bora. Overall, the staff are incredibly kind, gracious, and attentive. everyone you pass says hello (Ia Orana) to you with a smile. The Beach Boys live up to the hype — they bring a fun energy to the resort while also providing excellent and personalized service. They all remember your name and chat with you throughout the day. I highly recommend asking Tem to open a coconut for you!! It’s very impressive and equally delicious. Teva, the cultural ambassador, was also a wonderful addition to our stay. He serenaded guests at breakfast with his ukulele and hosted some wonderful activities like the flower crown making. Hiro, the concierge, was wonderful and helped us book all of our activities and meals. He even offered us tips for the rest of our travels to Moorea and Fiji. Standout meals/food: - the Pizza Moana at the Bamboo Restaurant - The Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl at the Appertif bar - The Banana Split which we ordered for room service from the Appertif Bar - Fresh coconut opened by Tem on the beach - The breakfast buffet We stayed at the St. Regis in early December during the rainy season. Luckily, we only had little spurts of rain but never for more than an hour. The weather was otherwise beautiful, partly cloudy, but still very hot/humid. APPLY A LOT OF SUNSCREEN. The sun is very strong and we saw many guests walking around with sweltering burns. The hotel offers free sunscreen and aloe that is reef safe, so you don’t necessarily need to bring a lot of your own. (But if you do, PLEASE make sure it’s reef safe!!) Because it was in between the holidays, there weren’t many guests at the hotel. It was nice knowing that no matter the time of day, we could always get a pool/beach chair, cabana, hammock, or water activity. One tip: Don’t buy floaties. We bought one at the gift shop (probably very expensive) and later asked The Beach Boys if there were any spare floaties we could use. Tem found 2 that previous guests had left behind and we were able to use them during our stay.
