Hey Dave, I wasn't trying to be rude at all. You can transfer points between other Hilton members, which are free to sign up. So let's say hypothetically you had two kids living at your house. You could sign both of them up and they can purchase points. Then they can transfer the points to you and the cap is no longer a concern.

Departure Day Flight Times

Just wondering if the resort usually allows late check outs? We are trying to book our flight back to Tahiti for our 9:30pm flight home and I am wondering if we should take an earlier or late flight.

It all depends on status and occupancy.

Yep. We had a late afternoon BOB-PPT flight and were given a 4 pm late checkout. However, this adjusted a bit because there was a delayed inbound VT flight, so they asked if we could head over to the airport around 3:30 pm.

Do diamonds generally get upgraded here when its a points booking for a garden view suite?

Also, whats the bottled water situation like? Is it unlimited complementary water or just the standard 2 bottles?

Looking at a few dates in March 2023, Hilton has increased point redemption from 95k to 120k points per night. Yikes!

Changes rolled out last week with numerous aspirational properties going up.

Conrad BB is very nice. It in no way compares with WA Maldives. Hoping we don’t see the pervious 120K properties go higher

Hi All, what's the Covid test situation like at Conrad Bora Bora? Can they arrange for your return to the US antigen test? I left our proctored Binax tests at home and we'll be arriving at CBB tomorrow (at the Hilton Tahiti now). I believe there is also testing at the airport, but I'd rather not wait until the last minute if I don't have to. Any guidance you can offer would be appreciated!

In my experience asking them last month, they directed me to the airport testing information.

There's a testing center in the arrivals hall at PPT that does PCR, rapid PCR, and antigen for travel testing. There's also a pharmacy with similar service just outside of the airport. The airport location has extended hours and is the most convenient, but the prices are a bit higher than what you'll find in town.

Thanks all, sounds like airport testing it'll be. I hate waiting until the very last minute, but don't seem to have much choice in the matter.

You can stop by the clinic if you haven't already made the transfer flight to BOB. I believe they take appointments.
