I would say it is highly unlikely someone will release these nights anytime soon. Of course if someone else also has individual nights they might have the same problem as you and then it is a matter of who sits it out longer. That's probably the main reason we see nights released just before the cancelation deadline. But I also noticed that some reward nights don't go back to inventory, even if released long before the deadline. Definitely use Hotel Hustle or some other method to monitor the nights you are missing.
On our recent trip to Bora Bora I noticed that there are quite a lot of cheap looking hotels and BnBs right next to or very close to the Moana. For the nights you cannot get, you could easily move there if hotel hopping is an option for you on your honeymoon. The Sofitel is also a cheaper option that looked nice and is quite close to the Moana.

Seems like you've been a few times. Have you ever had to switch back and forth between Moana and Thalasso? I really want to stay at Thalasso even if just for a night. But shuttling to Thalasso from Moana for one night just to go back to Moana the following afternoon may be a hassle depending on what shuttles are like.

dates with stealth availability
Noticed this property still has stealth availability. Jan 12 - 13, 2018 and April 24-25 all have award availability when you choose those dates specifically, but doesn't show up on the calendar. Starting to wonder if this is intentional...

For those stealth available nights, for some reason I cannot use my Chase Anniversary Night. How come I cannot find it? Points available but free night isn't an option?
Also, for IC Thalasso, what time and timezone do they release award nights? Can't believe no one has answered this question yet on either forum.

So the fact award night is available for a particular night does not mean nightt can be used /booked with a cert

No, but thank you for asking. I don't fly out until 8/1. My plan for right now is:
Stay at IC Tahiti 1 night
Take Ferry to Moorea and stay there for 3 days
1 night Moana
3 nights Thalasso
1 night Moana
1 night Tahiti then fly back out
If there is any recommendations based on that you can give I would be interested in hearing them. I do want to check out Moana to see what it is like and I believe thats closer to the airport so it will be good to stay there at the beginning and end of my time on Bora Bora for easy access to the airport.

Is it better to take the ferry or a flight from Tahiti to Moorea?
what is the best place to do some excursions?
Do you have ambassador and if so did any of those places give you ambassador benefits?
