I'm switching my Moorea room too now to a beach bungalow.....we're doing a beach villa with plunge pool in Tahaa so I don't mind giving up the little plunge pool at Moorea Pearl. The beach bung. at Moorea looks SO nice!!!

You should get the Tahiti guide book by Jan Prince. CaMacho recommended it to me when I was in the early stages of planning when I knew nothing about Tahiti and it helped me so much! Also check out tripadvisor.com to see the different hotel options on each island & read reviews.
Also I know this thread is very long but when you have the time you should read thru it - it's helpful too!!!
Ask us any questions - we'd all be happy to help if we can!
You can spend anywhere from say $6k to $12k on this trip! It all depends on how you break it up bet. the islands and what hotels you choose.
Hotels in Moorea are less expensive than Bora Bora so you can cut costs by staying more nights in Moorea. OWB are the most expensive rooms so you can break it up and do a garden bungalow for a few nights and then your last few nights in an OWB. I added 2 nights in Tahaa on to my trip at the end b/c I just was dying to go there but honestly I could have saved a few thousand $ by not going there - it's just ridiculously expensive.
Those are just a few ideas to cut costs....
Also I didn't know about this when I booked my HM but you should check out the travel section on costco.com - then go to South Pacific and look at all their different packages to Tahiti. They have some really good rates.
Hope this helps!

I know.....I liked the idea of the plunge pool and FH liked that privacy, but now I wonder if we would prefer the beach just steps from our balcony?

BEACH!! OMG, the beach bungalow in moorea was phenomenal! No bugs, nobody really around, great views... loved it! We only used the plunge pool in our bungalow in bora bora for 5 mins one day. It was kinda buggy and very chlorine-y.

Yes I saw pics of both couples in my Us Weekly that arrived in my mailbox last night...this week's issue. They all stayed at the new St. Regis on Bora Bora. Nic and Keith's suite was apparently $15k a night. Eva and Tony did an OWB that was less money but still a lot b/c it has it's own pool!!!

I think you are the first one on this thread to be going to the St. Regis. I'm jealous...looks/sounds wonderful!!! You'll have to take lots of pics to share with all of us! I hear they are opening up the first sushi restaurant either in all of FP or just in all of Bora Bora...not sure. But yummy...I plan to head there to the restaurant since I'll just be 2 resorts away at the Thalasso!

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!
The TA's have to wait until the hotels release their new prices, and that date varies from hotel to hotel, but it seems to be around the 300 day mark. Same for the airlines.
