Dec 18, 2024Family vacation
Conrad Bora Bora Nui is nothing short of paradise. Nestled amidst white sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters, this resort perfectly combines natural beauty with luxury. I stayed in the Royal Pool Overwater Villa, a spacious two-bedroom villa with stunning views of the lagoon. The villa was impeccably designed, featuring a luxurious bathroom and a user-friendly wireless Bose sound system to play your favorite music. The private pool added an extra layer of indulgence, making the stay unforgettable. The resort offers three diverse dining options. Tamure Beach Grill stood out for its flavorful dishes and the delightful local dessert, banana poe, which I highly recommend. Don’t miss the cultural dinner show hosted on Tuesdays and Fridays—a captivating experience. Banyan, the Chinese restaurant, impressed me with its delicious shrimp wontons. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to try Iriatai, the French restaurant, however I did visit daily for breakfast . This restaurant has breathtaking views of the resort . The staff deserve special recognition, particularly Mr. Godin (General Manager) ,Mr. Abdoulaye (Manager), and Mrs Miksova (Manager) who were incredibly humble and attentive. Their dedication to guest satisfaction truly enhances the experience. Bora Bora is on many travelers’ bucket lists, and staying at Conrad Bora Bora Nui ensures you experience the best this stunning destination has to offer. I highly recommend this resort for anyone seeking luxury, relaxation, and unforgettable memories.

Dec 06, 2024Bucket List Trip!
Five of us embarked on a bucket list trip to Bora Bora. After spending one night in Tahiti, we flew to Bora Bora to live like queens in a Presidential Villa at the Conrad. This was a trip I had planned for almost a year, and I have to give a shout out to my incredible travel agent, Tahiti By Carl, for helping make all of our dreams come true. He arranged private transfers for us, left us a welcome gift at the resort, and set us up on the best private tour/bbq on the island. First impression flying into Bora Bora and then taking our private transfer aboard the Lady Pearl to the Conrad was that the water really is as gorgeous as the pictures make it look. In fact, pictures (especially mine) don't do it justice. If you are thinking of the bucket list trip of a lifetime, this is it! Arrival at the hotel was wonderful, with the staff making the check in seamless and quick. We were on our way to our villa in no time. Our concierge, Claire, was so lovely. She checked in with us frequently during the trip via text to make sure all of our needs were addressed. I appreciate her tolerance of dietary restrictions in the group and her coordination for spa services and meal reservations. The Villa itself was OUTSTANDING! We were in villa 1002 and I have to say, it probably has the best snorkeling on the property. We saw spotted eagle rays, stingrays, reef sharks, eels, and so many fish. We spent hours each day in the water snorkeling around our own villa. I did not take any pictures of the interior of the villa, but it is as pictured and seen on many You Tube reviews. Definitely bring a go pro. The only very slight criticism of the villa itself was that the air conditioner dripped onto the couch a bit (we hardly ever sat there anyways, we spent most of our time outdoors) and the bluetooth speaker system was very finicky. We did not bring a speaker because we wanted to just play our music via bluetooth in the villa and on the patio. It would disconnect from the phone frequently. We finally figured out that the phone in use had to be right underneath the modem for the bluetooth system to work. We did call and ask someone to come out and help us, but no one ever did. We were able to figure it out on our own. But if you need your phone outside, maybe bring a speaker as a backup. I also want to give recognition to the golf cart drivers and the cleaning staff. These people are the backbone of the resort, and they were all fabulous. I want to especially recognize the night shift cleaning crew, Maeve and her manager, who did our turn down service. Every night they left our room looking beautiful and left us gifts and towel sculptures. We never had to ask for water or towels, they appeared seamlessly. There is an ice machine not far from the villa, and I walked there a few times a day to pick up some fresh ice for our drinks. Every time I did so, the staff tried to get the ice for me or offered me a ride back to the villa. I enjoyed the short walk and don't feel like I have to be serviced 24/7, so I turned them down, but they were always so accommodating. Everywhere we went, be it the pool or restaurants the staff always knew who were were. They do a lovely job of making everyone feel special. We did spend a day at the pool, the beach, and kayaking. It was nice to meet other travelers in the main pool. Everyone was so friendly. If we didn't have such a wonderful villa to spend time at, we definitely could have spent a lot of time there having delicious banana coladas and making new friends. Even though the resort was almost full, it never felt like it. I think a lot of people are busy with tours and in their villas. The restaurants exceeded our expectations as well. One of our party is vegan and she never had any issue finding anything to eat. The breakfast buffet was good, and I am still dreaming of the nutella croissant. The items are rotated everyday, so there was a different selection and new items to try. The service at breakfast was wonderful, and we had the same server most days. We ate at Banyan and Iriatai for dinner. Both had great food and service. We also had a private dinner one night on the overlook by the spa. Our server up there was wonderful, too. I wish I would have taken down some of these lovey ladies' names so that I could recognize them in my review. The one hiccup that we experienced at the hotel came the night of the Polynesian Show. We had reservations for the five of us. We arrived early before the show. When it was our turn to be seated, the staff acted upset that they had to move tables to make up a space for the five of us, despite having a reservation. We also did not feel that we were given a very good view of the show. The hostess and another lady who initially came to our table to ask about drinks were rude. The lady who asked about drinks did not return. About 20-30 minutes later a very nice server, Claude, came to assist us. Claude definitely did his best to make up for the poor service we had received and he was very nice. The actual show was wonderful! It is a must do for sure. The food was good too, but because it is a buffet, there is a long line at the beginning while the show is first starting. We also took a private tour with Tanoa. Our travel agent had recommended it. Everyday we saw the tour groups leaving the hotel from our villa, and while I am sure they had a great time, our guide was so amazing. He took us to the best spots (and I am sure the other tours go there too) and to his private motu for a bbq. His personal knowledge and experience along with his amazing laid back attitude made the tour. His ukulele playing was an added bonus. If you can spring for it, I highly recommend it! The day of checkout, two of us went to the spa for massages, while the other 3 went to Vaitape to shop for pearls. The massages were heavenly! The location is so beautiful and our masseuses, Wayam and Ceyalle, were great. It was the perfect way to end a trip to paradise. I had looked at all of the other hotels on Bora Bora before I settled on the Conrad, and had even made a pros/cons list. I had a pretty big budget so I could have went to the Four Seasons or St. Regis, but I am very happy that I chose the Conrad. It really was a trip of a lifetime.

Dec 05, 2024Anniversary Nightmare
After much research, I booked 5 nights at the Conrad Bora Bora for my 40th wedding anniversary 9 months in advance. I reserved an Overwater Villa hoping to obtain a beautiful view of the ocean. When I arrived I was assigned Villa 339 which has a view of a concrete wall that I'm providing. Workers were at the wall working every day cutting steel rods and making a lot of noise with other construction activities. It is absolutely the worst room in the entire resort as every other Villa has a view of the ocean. I'm a Diamond member and was not offered an upgrade at all. Antoni the smug host who escorted me to my Villa knew that I was getting the worst room yet he didn't seem to care even after I said it was unacceptable. I texted the front desk several times and nobody every responded and I never heard from Antoni again after he dumped me off. If I hadn't prepaid, I would have left the resort immediately. I experienced very poor service at all the restaurants. In all cases when I approached the reception area, the hostess made us wait 5-7 minutes while they chatted with staff. They could see us but didn't care to give us any acknowledgment. All the servers seemed to be unhappy and very few smiled. The food is expensive and the quality was subpar. This is not a 5 star resort. There are much better resorts on Bora Bora. If you get assigned Overwater Villas 339 -342, you will be very disappointed as I was during my stay as they share the same awful view. The Conrad ruined my anniversary trip. My only positive comment is that the employees who shuttled guests around in golf carts provided exceptional service and the other resort staff should follow their example. They were the only ones who seemed to care

It’s. Just. Heaven.
I was here last year with my two older children and we had a blast as a family vacation. I really wanted to come back with my husband since he wasn’t able to join last time so we returned for a couple’s trip. It truly is a magical place with stunning water and out of this world scenery. We had Dian as our island host last time and she was so amazing that I requested her again and she did not disappoint. Her service is amazing and she truly will go out of her way to give you the vacation of a lifetime. We keep kosher and our food is a bit complicated and she made sure everything ran like clockwork, our special meals were ready on time and just had everything spot on. They really work hard to please here and each staff member greets with a sincere smile. If they aren’t full they will work to give you a late checkout and just in general try to be accommodating. Thank you Conrad staff and Dian in particular you are all a credit to your hotel and brand! Last time we stayed in a Sunset Pool Villa and this time were in a regular Pool Villa (number 123) and it was also awesome! This villa is literally on the other side of the resort and faces the opposite direction but it was also totally lovely. We got a view of the sunrise and the other islands off in the distance and the truly stunning different shades of water. The water is a lot deeper in this section so you have to swim a little bit to get close to a reef and fish for snorkeling but there are still lots of fish that swim by your deck. I did the half day Ray and Shark snorkeling tour this morning (booked through the concierge) and it was one of the best snorkeling days of my life. We stopped in four spots: one for Manta Rays, one for sharks and sting rays, one for eagle rays, and one on a massive coral reef full of thousands of fish. I highly recommend it. Run, don’t walk to this resort and have the vacation of a lifetime!!

My bucket list Conrad Bora Bora Nui
As Bora Bora has always been on my bucket list, I finally can state it "done". I was staying in a Deluxe over water villa and the view was just mind blowing with it's sunset and sunrise. The calmness of my stay was restful and peaceful. Meeting partners and visiting the resort was very exciting. Lunch at the Tamure restaurant was great and our server very pleasant. After a long day with business partners, jumping into the sea water was all I could ask before a sensational dinner discovery at the Banyan restaurant. Chinese cuisine at its finest. I would recommend the Lobster wok and their Vanilla ice tea. Btw the personnalisation of my dinner with the Chef taking good care of his guests was touching. Besides, my room was luxury and comfortable and resting into the bathtub...oh my... From welcoming until departure the staff members was over the top, helpful and very friendly. Mauru'uru Conrad Bora Bora Nui and see you soon.
