Conrad Bora Bora Nui

We stay at the Conrad Bora Bora Resort for 5 nights for our 15th anniversary and it was the BEST ! It was our first time trying this brand as we usually go with Marriott of Four Seasons. Our friend recommended this resort few years ago and we though that we will give it a try. We had the best experience from beginning to the end. We were welcome at the airport by their hostess, a tahitian lady that was so friendly we felt like at home already. The ride takes about 20 minutes to the resort. Once there, we were welcome by a gentleman (sorry we forgot his name) and he did took care us like we were part of his family. We were into the overwater villa (329) and the room was fantastic. However, we though that we could have more amenities in the room but it was fine. The people are so kind and helpful. One of the manager, I think her name is Bosik is the most professional and kind lady that we encounter during our stay. She spoiled us some much during our stay, not only by giving us plenty of gift but by acknowledging every detail of our needs without us even thinking about it. She went above and beyond to make us feel worth it and by her words and actions, we felt like TOP VIIIIIP !!!! Our admiration to you young lady. Thank you to the team for this amazing trip. We will see you once again !

Our experience at The Conrad was nothing short of an exceptional 5-Star experience. Their customer service is unmatched, with a personal concierge attendant assigned to you from the moment you’re there, to arranging taxis, shuttles to turn-down service with personal touches nightly, you feel very taken care of. Lots of dining options, all very good, standout was the French Restaurant Iraitai, and their breakfast was unbeatable. It feels like a private paradise, never worried about getting chairs by the beach or pool, crowds are a non-issue. However, would like to see improved cocktails as they cost ~$30 each and are more like mixed drinks than a craft cocktail. Overall, would highly recommend as a honeymoon destination for those looking to escape and relax, connect and feel completely taken care of for a little while.

I have dreamed for years of visiting Bora Bora. This June I finally got the chance. My husband and I were lucky to be able to take my three children (ages 20, 17 and 13) with us. We chose to stay at the Conrad Bora Bora Nui. This review will probably be kind of long, because I just have SO MANY good things to say. From the moment we were greeted with beautiful flower leis at the airport by Penelope, we felt like special guests. It felt like all the staff knew exactly who we were and greeted us by name. I know they deal with thousands of guests each year, but they really made us feel like we were special and that they actually cared about our every need. We also were able to text Penelope about anything we needed and always received prompt responses. We didn't stay in the villas over the water, but instead had adjoining rooms in a building just off the beach. Honestly - it was awesome. The villas have views of the endless beautiful blue water, but we got the iconic views of the palm trees and darling villas framed by the endless beautiful blue water. We also were so close to everything -- so if we needed to "run back to the room" for anything it was just steps away instead of the distance some of the villas would have to deal with. I feel like the only thing we really "gave up" by not staying in an over-water villa was the ability to jump/dive off a personal platform. And though that would have been neat, I think we had way more benefits by being close to the main parts of the resort and having the adjoining room with our kids. The room itself was just incredible. We had a huge four-poster bed with a canopy and excellent linens, a spacious sitting area and a huge, luxurious bathroom. This was easily the most luxurious hotel room I have ever stayed in. The room also had two mini-splits for A/C, and we were able to keep our room deliciously cold the whole time. There were also two huge glass doors out to the large private deck - making the room feel very open and bright and beautiful. It was also very clean - and the staff did a lovely job of refreshing our room for us daily. We also appreciated the bottled waters they brought to our room every day. The resort itself is so very beautiful! There were employees sweeping the pathways to keep them clear of sand and debris, and everything just felt very well-kept. There was just stunning views everywhere you looked. There are bikes that you can ride all over the resort and it was fun to just explore around. Kind of a center focal point is the pool. I am normally not much of a swimming pool person, but this pool was by far the most appealing swimming pool I have ever been in. The water was so clean and fresh and there were plenty of chairs and cabanas, etc. I actually loved how much of the day there was plenty of shade to be found in the pool so that you really could spend hours just lounging and enjoying the incredible views. We indulged in spa services and that whole experience was just amazing too. I would say not to be missed. I also loved that they let my daughters receive services too...not every spa will allow minors to participate. My girls loved it. We also found the food to be really good. Yes, it is expensive, but at least it was yummy too. We tried all the restaurants and decided we loved the Banyan the most. (Well - that tied with the breakfast buffet....really amazing and lots of choices. Breakfast was a highlight for each day honestly.) We never did try the room service, but we appreciated that it was always available if we wanted to. Now I want to get to what I personally consider to be the most important - the beach and ocean. The beach was beautiful white sand with tons of really pretty shells to be found. There were lots of really nice cabanas and these awesome little "bean bag" chairs. It was never, ever crowded. I honestly felt like we had a personal, private beach most of the time. And the water was just incredible. Crystal clear and the perfect temperature. We enjoyed swimming and paddle boarding all over the resort. But I saved the best for last - I am an avid snorkeler and have snorkeled at some pretty cool places around the world. I was extremely pleased with how amazing the snorkeling was just off the beach here at the Conrad. They have built special structures to encourage coral growth and attract fish. Add that to the fact that the water is crystal clear and the result was incredible. Not only were there SO MANY FISH - there was also a huge variety of fish. I saw many that I recognized from other parts of the Pacific Ocean, and many that I have never seen before. I particularly loved these big schools of tiny little iridescent fish that shimmered like diamonds mixing with schools of little bright blue fish. It just made the snorkeling feel magical. I know how silly that may sound to some, but let's just say that if you enjoy snorkeling it is pretty awesome to have such incredible stuff to see without leaving the resort. (We did also do a snorkeling tour to swim with rays and sharks, and that was really awesome too...) I did bring my own gear, but the Conrad has nice snorkeling sets that are free to "check out" for the day if you want. In summary - I have heard so much hype about Bora Bora over the years that I was a little afraid I would be disappointed. Instead - I was blown away. Every minute of my time at the Conrad was just dreamy. I know there are several resorts to choose from, but if you choose the Conrad you will not be disappointed. I can't wait until I can come back.

Our reservation for early next year was cancelled due to property enhancement project, which was disappointing as we had already made various plans for the trip. But even more disappointing was the snarky email response from their reservation agent. Yes the reservation was made with Hilton points and not cash, but never would I have thought Hilton Diamond members would be treated this way at a Conrad property, or any luxury hotel in this category.
