I truly wish for everyone in the comments section of this and the previous video to be able to come here one day. Cheers everyone!
I wish I were there, too. And cheers to you as well on this joyous holiday.
Was there in 2018. It’s such a beautiful place and everyone is so nice and friendly. I have to return one day
Amen..
It's my dream
It'll be underwater by then
This is the number one thing I’d like to do in my life time. It just screams the most peaceful place on earth.
Yes you have right ❤
I was blessed to be able to spend 10 days there. It was wonderful.
Did you need get bored … place looks beautiful but boring .. not another human in sight .. do they have a common area with parties ?
@@LWT633bro you go there to get away from people. Maybe take a cruise or something
@@HighTide_808Exactly!
How lucky you are! It looks like Heaven on earth. This is on my bucket list.
Outstanding video, so-so resort.
We stayed there last September (2022) and found the resort to be in need of some significant maintenance and a facelift. We stayed in a Deluxe Overwater bungalow (Otemanu view). The bungalow was great, though I did not see any of the other guests trying to swim off the swim dock on any of the bungalows on our side. I tried it and found swimming there a little uncomfortable compared to the beach and the excursions in the lagoon. Both of the pools on property were in real need of update, tile repair, cleaning, and were much too cool to be comfortable. One of the two bicycles provided with our bungalow had problems and when we took it back to the bike repair station, the replacement was only marginally better. This is a large property and the bikes are pretty essential to your stay.
We met our "butler" at the dock on arrival, and she gave us a nice tour of the property following our check in process. From that point on, we would occasionally catch glimpses of her on the property, but had no further contact. She spoke English reasonably well, explained she was a student from France and was nearing the end of her "contract" agreement with the St Regis and would soon return to France.
The shuttle launch to Vaitape dropped you off on a dock near the solid waste facility on the island (dump) where a bus then transported you to the town. By the time you got to Vaitape, you only had a couple of hours to do your thing before the bus returned to take you back to the launch dock. We did visit Chin Lee market where we were able to purchase the most incredible baguettes and some ham and cheese to make a great lunch. The bakers at Chin Lee bake these fresh about every two hours and everyone exiting the market has at least a couple of them in their shopping bag. The price is about 60 cents (US) each and they were a big highlight of our Bora Bora visit. Vaitape itself was pretty limited and reminded me of a reservation town in our home state of Arizona. Lots of tourist stuff, but limited otherwise.
The food at St Regis was ok, though it is very pricey, limited in selection, and the resort had a significant insect problem in the food presentation area. We ate a breakfast each morning at the cafe (included in our bungalow package), but the small flies coating everything but the breads made it very hard to eat there. I sent a picture of this problem to the site manager with a complaint and got a word salad response, but no corrective action. We also tried to eat at the Far Niente (Italian), but again found the flies a problem. We ordered glasses of wine to enjoy while our order was prepared, and between sips we had to spoon multiple flies out of our drinks. After this experience, we cancelled our Lagoon reservations. Luckily, the room service food was very good, especially the steak bowl.
On the plus side, the little personal plastic shopping bag with the St Regis logo filled with ice that Hinano beer is delivered to your beach cabana was a great touch. The view of Otemanu from our bungalow was dramatic. Our bungalow itself was both spacious and comfortable. We did spot both Eagle rays and Stingrays from our deck. I also took some great pictures of the Southern Cross constellation also from our deck.
Overall, I would suggest if you want a 5 Star experience at Bora Bora, look at the Four Seasons over the St Regis. We're going back to French Polynesia this fall, but we are not including Bora Bora on our itinerary. Last year, we did the Windstar sailing yacht cruise to each of the islands, followed by the week at the St Regis described above. This year, we'll spend our 2 1/2 weeks at three of the other islands (Huahine, Taha'a, and Moorea) that we visited on the cruise and found more inviting than Bora Bora, together with a couple days in Papeete. We're in our 60's and suggest Bora Bora is probably a lot more enjoyable for 20-something honeymooners.
Thanks for the novella in the "comment" section!
I found it very well written and informative.@@SandraLily2
I appreciate the depth & detail. For some of us, this would be a once in a lifetime experience, & bugs crawling on every meal, broken bikes in a location where bikes were fairly essential & and an uncommitted staff would be a massive disappointment.
I'm right between my 20's & 60's, & have now seen multiple people state that St. Regis is geared more towards honeymooners in their 20's & 4 Seasons is more mature. Knowing that in advance is great because I'd personally prefer the 60's crowd & pace.
There's always the option of just scrolling on if "novellas" aren't your preference. 🤷🏽♀️
@@SandraLily2
Heaven on earth.
What a beautiful melange of art, nature, culture, modern design !!!! 😍🥰♥
This has got to be the most incredible most gorgeous place on planet earth 🌏 ❤️⛱️
Hands down one of the best stays I've ever had! Shoutout to out butler, Nico!
Wow! I don't get out much so even with all of the items you mentioned, It would still enjoy it! My bar is low! Lol!!
It is a great hotel. The negatives were the termites in the room. We had to change our room twice. The guests are dominated by honeymooners. The dining options are slightly limited. Besides that, it is about as good as it gets. The rooms are gigantic. The weather is always perfect and the water has to be seen to be believed.
Same thing happened to us, except we were fortunate to not see any until we literally were picking up all of our luggage to walk out the door to leave… that said, termites are common in overwater bungalows and the islands. Also, every other thing about this resort we found to be stellar.
Would you recommend this resort ? I’m planning a trip here soon
@@chump6219 Yes, I would recommend it, despite the termites and limited dining options. I am sure the other resorts have similar issues. You will have a great time. If there are termites in your room, just ask the reception staff to switch your room.
@@chump6219 check out ta’haa. I went there and it feels a bit more secluded and the villas were a little nicer 😅
Looks like you're sperated from the locals. I don't get the point of vacationing and only staying at the resort. Looks relaxing but dull.
this music is going to make me start crying
I just came back from he Intercontinental on Bora Bora. Magnificent!!!
Tip - Take people directly from the airport to their room. Pre checked in - before they get on the plane. You take the luggage to the room and the guest and all the paperwork is pre-done. That’s Vegas Service. Once I leave Canada I don’t touch it again until it’s in my room.
I wished to visit this beautiful place one day with my children before I’m old…thank you for sharing 🥰
Pora Pora me tera pora meaning created by the gods for bora bora. ❤❤🎉🎉
A day will come, and i will walk through these beautiful places together with my wife Maria ❤😃🙌🏻 Thank you Lord🙏
thank you for filming from every ankle - I am disabled and cant walk very good, so I can see if it suits me, thank you a lot
Thank you for whoever created such a beautiful video.
And me too 🙏‼️
Watching on big screen tv. Just amazing! Color resolution appreciated in 4K.
On a 75” TV, this is an epic video.
If I ever won the lottery, this is where I would start!!
They would have to DRAG ME OUT!!!
😀😀😀
These are the most beautiful films of the most beautiful places in this world 🌎. Thank you for sharing these experiences with us. So inspirational for us ❤
Paradise on the Earth !😮
Yes , it is 🤩‼️
This has been a sad week for me, grieving the loss of a dear friend. This combination of peaceful images and music has been so soothing to my heart. Thank for you all the work you put into these videos. I will never be able to visit them, but your sharing these beautiful places is very much appreciated.
I stayed about a month ago. Absolutely amazing! Planning on going back in about a year. I would do five days St Regis, five days at Four seasons next time. Great resorts!
Dream vacay island ❤
LOVE the Tahiti islands...went in the 70th...it must have changed a lot...
Just returned from a trip there. Loved all of it. Beautiful place, wonderful staff.
The beauty of pure nature
This is stunning. Who needs a pool here?
Wow! Cheers everyone
Spectacular resort and scenery.
Hope to be blessed enough to experience this with my family someday.
Sure I’ve been there in my dreams it was incredible
Finally! I was surprised a while ago when I searched Bora Bora and couldn't find one of your videos! You're here!
Beautiful beyond belief! Thank you so much for such an outstanding cinematography!❤
Хоть в интернете полюбоваться на такую красоту!!!😊
Good place to visit in summer
From the movie Couples Retreat primary filming location.
Your videos are so beautiful! I'm retired Gulfstream IV Capt. I have travelled many places and I love new adventures. Thank you for your luxury travel wisdom. I look forward to all your adventures. Be Well! :-)
Perfecto, aprecio mucho este tipo de videos y canal de CZcams, felicitó a la persona que grava estos videos
What a spektacular 5 star resort! Great how detailed you present the resort. Your villa looks fantastic.
What I also really like is that you show the breakfast in detail. Your video makes you want to go on vacation. Thumbs up for your fantastic video.
Wow ! Thats another level of traveling! Beautiful place and amazing video ! Enjoy your life as much as you can! This is the way!
Wow! That aerial view is super impressive 😍Many thanks for the comprehensive tour of the resort!
O.M.G. If someone ask me where the heaven is on Earth,I will say " Go to Bora Bora".
But St Regis has done an upgrade for heaven. With a quiet place,marvelous food and a lot of smiles from the people who keep this place up is a must for every bucket list.👍
OK this is the BEST of the BEST...and the view is breath taking...Beam me up ...
El buen gusto está presente en todos los detalles, durante todo el recorrido a lo largo de la playa. Quien llega allí encuentra todo para hacer sus sueños realidad. El color del agua es fascinante y el sonido acaricia tu piel. Realmente es de ensueño. Muchas gracias.🌷🌷😍😍
Bonjour merci pour ces beaux reportages...j'ai découvert votre site lors du confinement..depuis je regarde tous vos reportages... ces destinations sont des rêves pour moi
Holy Shit! The food prices is fuck'en crazy!
Heaven on earth
Lugar desnumbrante um verdadeiro paraíso
why did I start getting tears watching this?
Красота!)
Beautiful view
A few years ago we stayed at Le Meridien, next door, and had lunch at St Regis. The service then blew us away, so we plan, hope & dream of staying at St Regis.
We did stay at St Regis in Langkawi ( Malaysia), and this is one of the best resorts we have stayed at. Legendary service…..
Beautiful location. Not accessible for a lot of people but great location. You're almost in a dream, with all those colors
Great videography and music.
What a stunning resort this is. It would be a dream to visit here one day.
This resort was one of the best vacations we’ve ever had. We’re absolutely returning someday.
omg so gorgeous! next year we will come visit you Tahiti
Much prefer a holiday here over the Maldives 😉👍🏻
Thanks for the great job you do. Keep visiting these amazing places and sharing with us great videos. Much appreciated.
Just finished watching your review. Honestly, when you are walking towards the lagoonarium and you can see Mt Otemanu above the palm trees, it's like a scene from Jurassic Park. Seriously! One of the best videos you have ever done, and I have watched a lot of them.
wow it is perfect for our relaxing screensavers!
Greatest gratitude for this video
Stayed 5 nights here and 5 nights at the Hilton on Mo'orea last February for our honeymoon. This beats the Hilton hands down. Two completely different aspects Island wise. Bora Bora is way more for relaxing and chilling and Mo'orea is more adventure geared. The spa was fantastic, the retaurants did no dissapoint. We were in the second to last bungalow on the right at 1:23. we are going back for our 5 year.
Wowww. I thought Maldives is amazing. Now I know why people's choose bora2 more. The ocean is like glowing. Omg love it sooo much. I'm in love..😍🥰😘
What a beautiful place in our big world. Can’t wait till next week. Thanks for another great video and taking us on your vacation 👍🏻😊
My bucket list dream vacation destination
I will go one day
And probably die there from the shear beauty
Thank you for the perfect video of this totally amazing beautiful place
Great job
Unglaublich schön!
This is such an outstanding and spectacular resort in Bora Bora.
Intro is magical, so beautiful.
The best experience ever, with the best woman ever.
It's seriously the most AMAZING place I've ever stayed! The location is out of this world, it's on its own private island in the heart of Bora Bora's lagoon and the views are just STUNNING!
The accommodation is beyond luxurious, I stayed in an overwater bungalow and it was HUGE with its own private terrace and plunge pool. I felt like royalty living in my own private paradise. Was able to get this place for cheap at budgetarrival.
Cheap, my Arse.
how expensive was it
@@diavolo3084 £2000 per night.
I love bora bora ❤❤❤❤
Amazing view! 🏝
Ooooo ... I could definitely stay there for about a year .... !! Lovely!! One of my favorite sites is the shadows of the palm trees playing upon the green spanse of the lawn!! Sunset was stunning! Your music selection was impeccable, dear LTE!! Another wonderful video!!
Ganz ehrlich? Du bist der Beste! Was für wunderbare Videos! Unglaublich und unvergleichlich schön! Vielen vielen Dank dafür🙏🙏🙏
I truly enjoyed the video, I appreciate the way you took your time in showcasing the different areas. Magnificent
God took out His paintbrush and made all of that natural beauty and peaceful quietness
Thanks!
I have been to this resort and it is absolutely fabulous! It doesn’t look dated or rundown or in need of repair. It is beautiful. Looks more beautiful in person. Every villa has complementary bicycles which makes it so easy and fun to get around the island. Service is fantastic. I’m wondering how you feel it compares to The Four Seasons and Brando.
I think, this is one of the most beautiful places in the world, merry Christmas from Switzerland
Your videos are so breathtaking. Thank you for sharing!
Que lugar maravilhoso, que paz e tranquilidade nos passa.❤
Lugar lindo é um verdadeiro paraíso ❤❤❤
Geweldige video bedankt uit de grond van mijn hart voor je werk😊🙏🏻🙌💕
