Conrad Bora Bora Strand

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.

Pros: This resort is absolutely stunning, with a beautiful pool in a breathtaking location. It is likely more affordable than some other resorts in Bora Bora and appears to have been recently renovated. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Cons: Unfortunately, the service at the restaurants and bars was lacking. The food was also not up to par, with our steak and burgers being either undercooked or burnt on multiple occasions, making them inedible.

I had a fantastic time at the Conrad beach. Despite some negative reviews about the service, I found it to be outstanding. The property is beautiful and well-maintained, comparable to Four Seasons properties. The staff are friendly and always willing to help, offering rides on golf carts and providing bikes for easy transportation around the large property. There are plenty of water activities available, such as kayaking, snorkeling, and paddle boarding. The pool and beach area are both lovely, with ample seating. Don't miss out on the spa with its stunning views. I highly recommend this hotel.

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!

My husband and I spent four nights at the Conrad Bora Bora Nui. Unfortunately, we experienced rain for two of those days, but that was out of anyone's control. The hotel is absolutely stunning, but quite large, so if you're not a fan of walking, it may not be the best choice for you. The rooms are gorgeous and offer beautiful views of either the ocean, sunset, or sunrise, depending on your location. There is a daily boat service to the main island of Bora Bora, which needs to be scheduled but is complimentary. While we didn't use the kayaks or canoes, we did see many guests snorkeling. The hotel has three restaurants - Chinese, French, and a steakhouse - all of which serve good food, although I wasn't overly impressed. The breakfast buffet was my favorite meal of the day, with a wide variety of options. The staff were friendly and mostly bilingual in French and English, although I did find it challenging to communicate my food allergies. The hotel offers free rides in golf carts during rainy weather, and bikes are available for getting around the property. Our bungalow was quite far from the main facilities, about a 10-15 minute walk. The hotel is kid-friendly, with a designated kids area. There are also amenities such as a gym, day room, bar, and tennis court. The hotel is approximately a 20-minute boat ride from the airport and hosts occasional shows, which I found enjoyable but not exceptional compared to other islands.
