Booking
Nights available on points:
- Open up 12 months out
- Availability seems to open up five weeks out.
Fees when booking on points:
- City Tax of 400 XPF for each night
Transportation
PPT-BOB Flights:
- Round trip $350-600 per person
- Premium ticket includes more checked baggage allowance, priority boarding (sit on the left side for island views), and drink on board.
- Air Tahiti is strict with their baggage allowance. Excess baggage is $1.5 per pound over the limit.
- The airline is known to weigh hand luggage if it has wheels or is larger than your typical backpack or purse.
- If you hand luggage is weighed and is over the limit it will need to be checked or items will need to be removed and relocated to your checked luggage.
- Carry-on items do not seemed to be tagged so the gate agents do not know what bags have been checked
- If you hand luggage is weighed and is over the limit it will need to be checked or items will need to be removed and relocated to your checked luggage.
- Checked bags are weighed at the BOB airport for your PPT return flight
- They seem to not be as strict with charging for excess weight
- Lap infants are charged 10%
- Check the minimum connection time. If you arrive early Air Tahiti is likely to move you to an early flight based upon availability free of charge.
- In March 2022 the domestic security was asking that passengers remove and leave any large bottles of liquid from their hand luggage. Sealed duty free alcohol seems to be the exception.
- Tip: Sometimes it is cheaper to pack alcohol and pay the $1.5 per pound excess luggage fee than to purchase duty free at LAX.
Boat Transfer as of April 2022:
- 14,000 XPF per person roundtrip
- Children are free (not sure if there is an age cutoff)
It would be rather difficult to take the free boat from the BOB airport to Vaitape and then take the complimentary shuttle to St Regis. You would need to carry your luggage and time your flights accordingly. This would also need to be coordinated with the property.

Just one note: our experience was way back in 2006, and we have the platinum card. But things may have changed!

Cyclone Oli swung by Bora Bora. Here's an account of an IC Thalasso guest, who believes there was also damage at St Regis:

I see nothing on the hotel website, so hopefully the damage is minimal.

Does anyone know if this resort is now open? My dates in Nov show availability so Im assuming its good to go by then.
Please let us know how was the shape of the resort, I am yet undecided where to stay. Usually stay in Tahaa but this year will perhaps try SRBB if there are decent deals to be had. Thanks in advance.

I was just curious if anybody recently has been able to book a room with a SPG50 certificate (or any other property in the French Polynesian islands)? If so, what were the RACK rates?
Most of the searches I've seen were outdated and I'm sure that their info is no longer valid.

I used it at this hotel. the rate dropped from more than $1000 to something around $600. it is often available at the St. Regis New York but you have to book way in advance.

Upgrade chances?
What is the likelihood of getting upgraded to an OVB (villa?) as Gold or Platinum? I think I'll be Platinum by then, but not quite sure how it will work out?
That having been said, it would be for a honeymoon - is the staff usually nice about that kind of thing?
