Conrad Bora Bora is situated just a 20-minute boat ride away from the airport, BOB. Upon arrival, you can arrange for the hotel concierge to pick you up and check you in at the arrival dock. The room key is cleverly embedded in a wristband, with black bands reserved for Hilton Gold and Diamond elite members. Before heading to your room, you will be given a brief resort tour and information. The resort boasts a lovely full-service spa with stunning views, as well as multiple restaurants, bars, and room service options. There is a medium-sized gym, a running track, a tennis court, a kid's club, and a transit lounge for late departures. The main pool area features the resort event schedule and water sports equipment. Elite members can enjoy a private beach with sun loungers and cabanas near the reception area. The villas come in various options, from Lagoon view to Overwater villas with or without private pools, all offering ample living space. While the resort is definitely worth a visit and provides great service, as a frequent visitor to Conrad properties worldwide, I must admit that compared to other Conrad resorts, this property falls short for Hilton Diamond elite members. Other Conrad properties typically offer lounges, events, activities, and discounts for elite members, as well as upgrades, which are unfortunately lacking here.

What an amazing honeymoon experience! This island is perfect for a special birthday, anniversary, or honeymoon. The stunning barrier reef surrounding the island creates incredible ocean colors, the best snorkeling I've ever experienced, and the refreshing South Pacific Ocean breeze always seems to kick in at just the right moment. I highly recommend visiting in mid-October when it's less crowded.
We stayed in a regular overwater king bungalow, which was absolutely beautiful, and the service was impeccable. A big thank you to the cleaning staff for their attention to detail and the thoughtful welcome back touches in our room.
Everyone we encountered was friendly and patient, even though I don't speak much French. It's important to remember that the locals are the ones who make this place special, as they are sharing their tiny island with visitors. Special thanks to Damian, who shared interesting facts about Tahitian culture with us at the Sushi bar.
In terms of food and activity prices, they were actually quite reasonable considering the remote location. It's worth noting that anything not caught or grown on the island has to be brought in by boat or plane. Thank you, Conrad Bora Bora, until we meet again. Māuruuru!
