I highly recommend this property!! We were met on the dock by our concierge. We were given a private check in, welcome drinks and chilled hibiscus towels and A private resort tour. We were upgraded to a overwater bungalow and it blew our minds. My family had so much fun jumping into the water. At the pool, they would lay the towels out for us with little pillows. The service was TOP NOTCH!!! The resort was beautiful and well maintained. We will definitely be coming back!!

This is our annual to go place since our honey moon in 2018. We love this resort specially for the close proximity to town but also - it grew with our family - and now we travel with our two young children even thanksgiving here. The staff is kind, the rooms are spacious, the breakfast buffet is one of the best we have had - the pastry specially! We also love our thanksgiving dinners here. They have a decent gym, a good kids club with a rather large space, bikes for adults and kids, and offer transport to town - steps away from the market if you need a diaper run ( in our case). The beach is also nice - with the corals as it offers a nice snorkeling experience steps away from the beach … and they have kayaks and paddles boards for guests. Overall, we love this place and have chosen to go back for 5 years in a row.

My husband and I just got back from the most amazing vacation we’ve ever had thanks to this magical paradise and its staff! There are several reviews about the Conrad Bora Bora that are not so positive but we didn’t have this same experience and if I could, I would give this resort 10 stars! The islet where the resort resides is BEAUTIFUL. It’s very lush and full of marine life. I never knew how much I loved snorkeling until this vacation! There were so many beautiful corals and colorful fishes in their property. They also do a lot of work to preserve the marine life in their area. The resort is also very private and away from the other resorts. It was perfect for our10th year anniversary vacation! We got our package from Costco and added the dinner package which we highly recommend if you’re going through Costco. The food, like the other resorts based on my research, are expensive; however, they were all delicious ESPECIALLY THE PASTRIES AND DESSERTS. The pastry chefs deserves a huge shout out!! Now, what makes this resort even more special is their STAFF! Everyone was always welcoming and accommodating but let me give a special shout out to some of the staff that stood out: Manate from the breakfast buffet really took good care of us and ensured that we have the best breakfast experience. She checked on us and made sure we have everything we needed to start our day with a great breakfast! Oliver, Ramanuy, Ura Nui and Elna (leaf braiding class) were the staff by the beach who were in charge of the beach equipments, drinks/food and activities. They were EXCELLENT! Oliver and Ramanuy gave us tips on how to use the beach gears/equipments. Their equipments were in good condition, clean and they never ran out. We always had something to do whether it’s kayaking, snorkeling or paddle boarding! Ura Nui who took our orders and drinks was also always accommodating and friendly! She always had a smile on her face. Elna, who did the leaf braiding class, was very patient with us! On our anniversary, we did one of their spa experiences. The spa is BREATHTAKING and located at the top of the island. The views are amazing! We were picked up from our villa by Yaya who had the most friendly personality. Mylene then talked to us about our treatments and was thorough about telling us what to expect. She made sure we had some yummy drinks and also asked us about our massage/body scrub preferences. We then had our body scrub and massage by Gigi and Monoy who were EXPERTS in their field. This was my husband’s first spa experience and I’m sure it will be very hard to top since he’ll have high expectations for future spa experiences! We were so relaxed and calm after. They also prepared the jacuzzi for us! This was an unforgettable experience thanks to their spa staff! I saved the best for last—-our personal concierge during our stay, ZUZANA. We will never forget her. Zuzana gave us the best customer service we’ve ever had. She took notes and remembered certain details and gave us surprises to make our anniversary celebration so special. Zuzana is AN ASSET TO THE CONRAD BORA BORA. Her dedication and passion to her job shows and we are very very grateful that she was the concierge assigned to us. We thank you Zuzana from the bottom of our hearts for making our trip so memorable! So if you’re thinking of going to Bora Bora, pick the Conrad!! It’s beautiful, the water is the bluest blue and the staff are all amazing! I’m hoping we can visit again in the future!

“A PLEASANT SURPRISE!”

We have been to Tahiti many times. This review is based on our experience having previously stayed at the St. Regis, Four Seasons, The Brando, Le Taha’a, and the Intercontinental Thallaso. Our experience here has been a welcomed surprise. We have been planning this year’s trip since last year. Reviews of the service was lackluster at that time, so there was a lot of hesitation on booking the Conrad. The Hilton Bora Bora underwent a big renovation several years ago and since has been rebranded as the Conrad. The property is located on its own island in the lagoon and faces southwestward away from Otemanu mountain. We booked a villa with a dipping pool. The island has a mountain which the property is backed against and a handful of the villas and spa are located up the hill, including our villa. We commonly stay in a overwater bungalow, but often mix up the rooms to get a diff feel. With the Conrad it has not been a disappointment. The room is by far the newest looking of all the properties we have been too. Being up the hill, we have a beautiful vantage point of the lagoon and overwater bungalows below. We will list the pros and cons to further review the property. But before doing so, I want to address the issue of the food. Tahiti is and French protectorate so the food is essentially French and Polynesian which includes a lot of fish and coconut. Anything else, is an attempt to give the guests some degree of variety. Polynesia is rather isolated and most of the food is imported, thus expensive and not diverse. One needs to lower their expectations of the food (perhaps by 2 notches) when coming to Tahiti, especially Bora Bora, which is even more isolated than the main island Papeete. PROS: -The property itself is unique in that it is located on a mountain island. The spa and villas on the hill gives one a gorgeous view of the the lagoon and bungalows below. -The recent renovation provides a cleaner and updated grounds and rooms on the inside. The exterior still can look worn and dated at times, esp the most of the overwater bungalows. The pathway leading into the resort from the drop off dock is breathtaking at dusk when lit with pathway lights. The beauty is almost equal to the lagoon. -Food: breakfast buffet was standard without any standout quality. Dinner at the French restaurant was very enjoyable. There is also the Sushi restaurant, Chinese restaurant (named Banyan), and restaurant by the pool. There are not too many resorts with this variety of restaurants. This reduces the monotony of food. I would say the variety is a notch up on the Four Seasons, but less than the St. Regis. I had a lychee martini and it was as good as any in the US. -Service was wonderful. Our guest relations person Daniel was extremely helpful. They are almost like the the butler at the St. Regis (but not quite.). Using texting, I can get anything I needed within a few minutes without having to sit on the phone. (The cordless phone in our room was working anyways, which seems common in most resorts we have stayed, but the corded one worked fine). -The Spa is perched high with a gorgeous view. I did not do a treatment, but loved visiting it. -The rooms are equipped with universal power outlets letting us use US cords. In the bathrooms, one can even switch the voltage between 110 to 240V. If you don’t have 240V compatible powered items, they will get fried in 240V (I’ve made that mistake before.) -There is bluetooth built into the room so once connected, u can listen to music in the villa, bathroom, and even the back patio. Each location has its own volume control too! CONS: -The property appears to be sitting over deeper water and there are many boulders and large concrete blocks in the water which makes the color less bright turquoise. The deeper/darker waters at the Four Seasons was one of our issues there too. Here, the water a few hundred yards out from the property is brighter than the water underneath the bungalows. This also makes diving or jumping into the water from many bungalows seem dangerous and uninviting. While we were here, the current seems high which makes this even worse. -The hillside rooms are a trek up the hill. It is a bit of a walk, good for calorie burning. But not good for anyone with a mobility issue. Also, once up the hill, there are several steep steps to get to the front door from the main pathway. Some villas one has to climb almost 2 flights of stairs to get to. -We often like the villas, since they tend to be larger in size and more private. The villas here do not seem to be the case. The back patios did lack the privacy afforded at some other resorts, but being up the hill did make up for it to some degree. -Despite the renovation, the main walkways at sea level are black rock tiled. There were many patches missing tiles. I almost rolled my ankle in one of these patches. However, they have been actively working on repairing this while we are here. -The main restaurant that serves the breakfast, and French dinner is located on a 2nd floor. There are no ramps to get up there, just stairs. There is an elevator, but feels run down and was not working half the time we are there. We came with our 6 month old so we had a stroller most of the time we moved around. -The gym although relatively spacious, did not offer water or cold towels. -There are no towel racks anywhere in the room. Not even for hand towels. There is the large beautiful soaking tub in the bathroom that we ended up using to hang our towels on. -The power outlets are universal and can fit US plugs, but my cords would not sit well enough to maintain contact to get power. So I ended using my own universal adapter anyways. Overall, we did not expect much prior to coming to Conrad. But our experience so far has been great! We have two more days here and will update this review if any more details come to mind. It is one of our top choices. We usually do two resorts when we come to Tahiti and the Conrad will certainly be on one of future itineraries.
