The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort

My husband and I returned to the St. Regis Bora Bora and it was just as amazing as we remembered. So many fond memories from our honeymoon a few years ago, and new ones made during this trip. 😃 We booked with Claudia from Pacific For Less this time. We loved eating at Lagoon and grabbing a pre-dinner drink at 727 Bar and watching the sun set each night. Oceane was our butler and was fantastic; even going above and beyond by giving us a stuffed turtle (honu) to take back home to our son who absolutely loves turtles. The Beach Boys were always smiling and so attentive; truly infectious with their joy for life and the Polynesian spirit. We took advantage of the great onsite gym and snorkeling in the lagoon. Cannot wait to return again!

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the staff at St. Régis Bora Bora for your remarkable hospitality and thoughtful attention. Your professionalism and kindness made our stay exceptional. Thank you for this memorable experience. Thank you to Boyan, Nina, Jenna our Butler and Delphine.

Bora Bora is spectacular. The St Regis makes it more so. We stayed 7 nights in an overwater bungalow lagoon side. Two huge rooms, enormous bathroom , windows all around to gaze at the blue, blue water. Husband and I intended this vacation t be 100% relaxing. We turned our phones off, slept late, read out on our spacious deck, used the swim step to access the water and were generally unproductive citizens. It was wonderful. Coffee delivered in the morning at a time of your choosing. So many room amenities. There are many activities to chose from. We didn't but people we talked to enjoyed them all. A few very minor cons: food was generally just okay. Skip the Lagoon restaurant with an "up charge"...our least favorite meal. Setting was lovely. Astronomical drink prices. Unstocked mini bar Butler service was spotty. Our seriously charming butler forgot several requests we made. Would we go back? In a heartbeat.

I just returned from a five-night stay at The St. Regis Bora Bora. The resort grounds are phenomenal, and the level of service and staff quality is what makes this property stand out. My butler Marion did a fantastic job – she’s such a hardworking, meticulous, articulate hospitality professional! The concierge team is outstanding – the pre-arrival communication for activity planning was seamless. I needed to make some last-minute changes during the stay, and it was handled exceptionally well, especially by Hiro. The resort is beautiful, the lagoonarium was really fun to explore and offers a good amount of tropical fish to discover. The overwater bungalow is nice and spacious, though showing its age. Some wear and tear here and there. Nothing too bad, but the rooms would benefit from some upgrades, especially the AC and bathroom. I enjoyed all my meals at the resort – the breakfast buffet and à la carte menu were very good. I got a chance to try all restaurants. Bamboo and Fariente offered the best value for money in my opinion. I had the signature six-course tasting menu at Lagoon, which left me unimpressed. It was all right but nothing to remember (with the exception of the mashed potatoes) and not worth the money, IMHO. The venue is nice though, so still worth stopping by for the experience, maybe. The Polynesian dinner and show were nice and fun. One minor comment regarding the restaurants would be the lack of a true immersive dining experience (with the exception of Lagoon). For example, the setup of Fariente and Bamboo is a bit underwhelming: just a few tables near the pool area, limited decor and music... The staff were consistently great, and I could feel they genuinely want the guests to have a memorable experience. There’d be too many to name, but the staff at breakfast, Temaiana at the beach, and Melissa at Aparima were all fantastic to interact with. That’s what I’ll probably remember the most and what would make me return to the St. Regis for a future visit of Bora Bora.

Expectations were high for this trip after everything we’ve heard and researched about the St. Regis. The resort was beyond anything we could have imagined and hoped for. The service is impeccable. Our butlers, Mina and Diana, thought of every deal to make our anniversary trip an unforgettable experience. Alice, our housekeeper, did a fabulous job making the room so welcoming day after day. And the food - wow! That in itself was an amazing experience! Lucie at the Lagoon and Ta’pau was darling and so gracious. The variety of excursions offered, the ease at which to do anything you want, the views, the size of the bungalows, everything exceeded our expectations. Now that we’re back, we can’t wait to return. See you soon, St. Regis!
