This is my third time to Bora Bora (4S/StR and Thalasso before), all previous stays in OWVs so I'll take my chances with eStandy. Wouldn't mind the garden villa for the price paid.

Wrote to the hotel about my 8 night reservation next June and they quote me the following:
As regards our advance upgrades, our rates are as follows:
- King Overwater Villa: 40,000XPF per night
- King Deluxe Overwater Villa: 50,000XPF per night
- King Pool Overwater Villa: 90,000XPF per night
My standby upgrade was 30,000 - 38,000 XPF for OWV. Not sure what to do. need to think about this.

Hopefully someone can advise is it possible to negotiate and what's the lowest they can go

Has anyone gotten upgraded at arrival after paying for an OWB upgrade in advance? to a Pool OWB or Deluxe OWB?

Just checking our reservations and while my confirmation states King Garden Suite - the room is now changed to a Twin Lagoon View. I've emailed them about this - but anyone know why this would have happened?
Also when I click the email confirmation for one of the nights - it still states King Guestroom Garden View. And my upgrade options are to Horizon View for 18,000, OWV for 33,000 and Deluxe(not happening) for 40,500.
Is Horizon view worth it?

With my flights to and from Tahiti all locked in for June 2020, and 12 nights between Conrad Bora Bora and Hilton Moorea locked down, should I go ahead book the inter island flights now? Will need PPT to Bora Bora, then Bora Bora to Moorea. It seems like about $500 for each person. And do i book directly with Air Tahiti or should I go through online portal such as Chase? Thx.

Yeah I'd try and get out of the garden/lagoon building. You will have common walls, which may or may not matter to you. Horizon View is it's own separate building, you'll have a much better view....although you'll have a little more of a walk to get to the restaurants.

I've booked 6 consecutive nights and then decided to add another 1 night on a different reservation. The big reservation has eStandby for upgrades. Should I bother emailing them to merge or they'll see it in the system?

I emailed them, since I had 3 single night reservation plus one 5-night reservation. I also asked about upgrade and was quoted one price for guaranteed upgrade, and the lady would not back down.

Garden View and Lagoon View have exactly the same cash rate. I would not consider this an upgrade. I would be extremely unhappy if I only get "upgraded" to a Lagoon View room as a Diamond. In other posts from email conversations with the hotel they state Garden Villa as the free upgrade for Diamonds.
