AA miles will only get them as far as PPT. From PPT to Bora Bora, they'll have to pay cash (or use points from a program that lets them use points as cash to purchase travel tickets).
Yep, as guv1976 mentions, AA miles will get them to PPT but no miles or points will get you to Bora Bora.

And the real bummer is that PPT-BOB flight will typically cost about $450 per person round trip for just a 50 minute island hopper flight.

There's a Le Meridien(SPG) not far from PPT airport though. It's category 5 so 12-16k per night.

Here's the property: http://www.starwoodhotels.com/lemeri...ropertyID=1906

Another option that will offer a really similar experience to Bora Bora would be Fiji. You can use AA miles on Fiji Airways to get there.

And there are 3 SPG properties in Fiji: 2 Sheratons and a Westin.
