Conrad Bora Bora {PYF} (Closed for reno Jan 5 - April 1 2026)

That would be amazing! I’m watching it every day but they are completely sold out for two one of our 9 nights so I’m trying not to get my hopes up too much. Looks like there is a little more availability the last 5 nights so maybe they can move us then. We’ll just have to wait and see!

that is the exact sequence we experienced when complimentary upgraded to Deluxe OWV on our most recent 1 week points stay.

What was overall occupancy like during your stays? Were any nights completely sold out? One of our 9 nights is totally sold out, so thinking that lowers our chances of additional upgrade a bit.

Edit to add: Just received the nor-1 e-standby offer for our 2nd reservation. Pool OWV 152,712 XPF, Sunset pool OWV 178,435 XPF, or Royal OWV 297,809 XPF. Going to pass on those again.

is your preference now Conrad or St Regis Bora Bora?

I�ve followed the Conrad BB thread for at least 5 or 6 years and I�ve never seen this topic come up once. If you end up getting info on a charter post about it here, I�d love to read it!

I bare boated BVI for a week with my family and it was a phenomenal experience. I would love to do it in French Polynesia and see all the smaller outskirt islands. Though all the bars and rum in BVI contributed a lot to that enjoyment and I�m not sure if FP can match it. 🤪

I posted a couple of responses back - I do shared catamaran charters through a timeshare. It's legit, I've sailed with them for 22 years!! They do Raiatea-Bora Bora - Tahaa in FP. It's a 7 day and everything is provided, plus there is a captain and first mate/chef. They also do Maldives, Seychelles, BVIs, all over the Caribbean, Greece, Fiji, Tonga - I think that's all at the moment. I've sailed with them Thailand to Malaysia, Canary Islands, lots of Caribbean, a short-term FP (Rangiroa area), St. Vincent to Grenada, Antigua to Bequia, Tobago - a lot of these are past itineraries, but you get the idea. PM me if you want to know more. For $$$ you can get a whole boat and they'll sail a route of your choosing (assuming it's practical and they are based in that area) so you could start in Raiatea and tell them where else you'd like to go that's within a reasonable distance for the week. LOTS of options.

Well, we leave from LAX tonight and get to the Conrad tomorrow morning and no additional upgrade yet. We'll be happy wherever they put us but still hoping for an OWV for at least part of our stay. Endless View Villa will still be a nice upgrade.

Good to hear the breakfast situation has been resolved.

My wife and I will be staying here at the beginning of August (on points and FNC's). I have the Aspire card, but have no vacations planned in the first half of the year to use the first $200 Hilton credit. Does anyone know of a way to "bank" the first $200 credit so I could save it for use in August (and then combine it with the second half of the year's $200 credit). Thanks.

I emailed them and asked if they could pre-charge me for a specific amount and they sent me a link to do so. I was able to get my credits that way.

What email did you use to ask for the pre-charge link?

Also curious if anyone has tried using Hilton Gift cards at this resort? Wondering because I have a stack of them and trying to figure out how to use them.

I believe there�s a hotel shuttle I could take to get from the hotel to the main island for dinner.

Anyone know what time it leaves Conrad / arrives at the main island? Is it a free shuttle / how much does it cost?

How do you get back from the main island to the hotel after dinner - are there any sort of water taxis or do I need to book a private boat? And any idea what sort of costs it might be?

We actually just did that. It's 5,900xpf per person roundtrip. Leaves at 6pm and comes back at 9pm (takes about 15mins each way) and we had a taxi waiting at the dock and again pick us up at the restaurant. All transportation and restaurant reservation were handled by the Conrad.

Awesome, thank you!

Question for anyone that might know.

When they send you the link are you able to add more than one credit card per link?

Or would you need multiple links if you have different cards you want to use?
