I received an email from the Conrad to pre-book my meals. Can anyone offer their experience and feedback on standard prices, recommendations for eating at the Bora Bora vs Vaitape, etc...? As a Diamond I will get free breakfasts already...

Here is their offer:

Half-Board Plan (3-course dinner at any of our restaurants): 9,800XPF per day per person

- Full-Board Plan (3-course lunch + 3-course dinner at any of our restaurants):14,000XPF per day per person

THANK YOU!!

I have been checking every day (sometimes multiple times per) with no luck. I just re-booked my 273K/day stay to 80K/day (plus free night). Saved 1,238,000 points!

Hey all, so I was able to get the 4/5 award nights at 80,000 points for December a few weeks ago. I also had a be my guest certificate from a Conrad stay in December, so I added that on the beginning of the trip.

When I was booking, there were issues with the points(it wasn’t going through), so I called the diamond desk and they sorted it out after almost a day. They apologized and told me to upgrade myself for that first night and they notated the account to not move our room due to the troubles booking.

I inquired about the upgrade pricing, and was given XPF 40,000 (~400$) for a king overwater villa. I know we would probably get upgraded to one being diamond, but I don’t want to chance it and with the diamond desk saying we wouldn’t be moved. Even better. So, I paid it, but then I looked on the app and the difference in price was significantly less from the standard room to the king overwater. It was even more than the pool villa. I emailed them this morning about it. Will they rectify it, or did I just overpay?

Thanks and I apologize for the lengthy post!

I just finished a stay and was disappointed overall with the food options here. There are 3 restaurants for dinner (Chinese, Sushi, and French). We ended up eating at the resort the whole time we were here because we wanted to enjoy our time in our OWV. If we ever return, we would take the boat into town to try some places there. There wasn’t any restaurant where we were left really impressed. So I’d say if you’re planning to stay st the resort, it’s good to do the half-board plan, since that’s kind of what we averaged out in our spending. I wouldn’t do the full board because the only restaurant open for lunch is the one by the pool so it’s VERY limited.

Thanks. I’ve heard from people that eating a filling breakfast can generally tide you over until dinner also, so am less worried about lunch. Last time in FP, we did lots of baguettes (regulated government prices) plus meats and cheese anyway, from the local stores.

How do the prices for half board compare (as a committed pre-purchase) vs. just ordering off the menu? Are they about the same, or a decent discount for pre-purchasing?
