I'm not sure - we just got it by luck I guess. We didn't request a certain room there. I guess go on their website and click on 'Contact Us' and try to email them. I find they all take a while to respond to emails there so be patient. You could ask your travel agent to put in a request too I guess.

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!

Did you book excursions before you got to Tahiti? Or do you think we should wait until we get there?

Is there a price difference?

Has anyone gone on the private picnic in Bora Bora?

Our TA quoted us $1300 for this excursion from St. Regis. I thought that was insane for a picnic!!!!

I was told not to book excursions before you get there because then you are locked into that date and what happens if it is raining. I was told there is no price difference in booking ahead. $1300 is insane. I thought the private picnics were about $600.

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!

$1,300 is ridiculous for the motu picnic! My agent quoted me $650 for the whole thing! She says, it's best to just book when you get there because we won't save any money booking in advance, the tour people mark it up. Sounds like the St Regis is charging an arm and a leg!!!
I found a bunch of information on the internet about the excursions. We are going to book our picnic when we get there outside the resort! Keishi Tours is who we will book through.

best,

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!

Oops! I forgot to ask if anyone has any good restaurant recommendations besides the Villa Mahana in Bora Bora? We want to go out more than once. Anyone been to Bloody Marys?

thanks!

Yes, definitely go to Bloody Mary's! I think it's one restaurant everyone should go to when in Bora Bora (and check out the men's bathroom)!!!
