About to book honeymoon, and current plan is to do 3-4 nights at St. Regis Bora Bora followed by Le Meridien for 6-7 nights. Availability doesn't work the other way around for us to finish at St. Regis.
We will be staying in an overwater bungalow in each.
Will it feel like a "letdown" to be in Le Meridien after St. Regis? Another option we're considering is to do Hilton Moorea for the first 3-4 nights.

Looking for some feedback, I did some research but can’t find much on the Classic Bungalow. Is it worth to spend double points for the Beach bungalow? I can’t find pictures or any detailed review.
Looking at the map looks like the beach bungalows are located facing the lagoon between the main part of the hotel and the beach villas. the ‘beach’ in front of them looks of compacted sand and not very appealing. the two classic bungalows are at the start of the pontoon one facing outwards and one maybe facing the beach between the two pontoons. I am trying to find some pictures of those two classic bungalows. anyone has any better information?
Thanks!

Sounds like the consensus is that Bora Bora is beautiful, but the food is bad and overpriced? And I assume limited options for vegetarians if any? In that case we'll pass. That's one of the things I hated the most about our stay at the LM in Seychelles. Horrible food and really hard to go anywhere without a car. I do see a classic villa with points available at times, even in the next few weeks.

I have reached out to the hotel about menus and will post them here once I hear back from them. I am concerned about the food options too as my wife is a very strict vegetarian, I have booked my stay in August and I was able to sweet talk my way into a Mt. Otemanu view premium bungalow for only $300 per night.
Please do post the menus if they share them with you. Very curious to see the options. Thanks!

Hi all,
I am wondering how does this property compare to the more talked about (and wanted) St. Regis? I found some award availability for the dates that I want so I am considering this property.
If I don't do any additional pay, how's the classic rooms?
Cheers!

Its almost impossible to get points rooms at StR, the upgraded rooms cost a lot more too. That's why I just booked LM.
