There are 3 different starwood properties the rooms range from $600 to $3000 a night or 30,000 to 60,000 points per night

Levi, just give me 24 hours notice before you go to Bora Bora. You know you need someone to come with you.

ChikkyMonkey · « **Reply #8 on:** June 18, 2008, 02:33:37 AM »

The real expensive rooms are the OW (over water) rooms and they start at about $1000 (depending on season).

They are not really worth the extra money unless you've got lot to spare... The French Polynesia is not the only place to get them, the Maldives also has OW rooms...

Eli I must give you credit when I asked you about going to Europe this summer you said yes within a minute but as far as Bora Boro thats more of a Honeymoon type of place otherwise I would have been there already

Who said I don't want to go to a honeymoon place with you? Doesn't someone need to check it out before we go with our wives?

I guess your right when are we going?

Eli · « **Reply #12 on:** June 24, 2008, 08:27:24 PM »

We're landing from Europe Thursday night midnight. You wanna fly out Friday morning and go for Shabbos?

levi · « **Reply #13 on:** June 24, 2008, 11:33:30 PM »

I'm all in, the only problem is that the first flight out Friday morning leaves at 7 and you land on shabbos so maybe we should wait a week and fly out on a Thursday morning

Eli · « **Reply #14 on:** June 26, 2008, 04:23:24 PM »

ill take 12 hour notice

Just wondering if anybody has had any experience out there as far as which spg hotel to go with (st regis or westin) and if upgrades with plat status is likely.

Most importantly, I would like to find out what is the best option as far as getting there on points, which airline to use and how to route the trip.

Has anyone been to Bora Bora?

I would've gone by now, but it's an extremely expensive 45 minute flight to get from PPT to BOB. Only 1 carrier flies and they don't take miles!

There used to be SPG on Moorea, which is a short boat ride from PPT, but it became a Hilton, and I don't think you can reserve an overwater bungalow with Hilton points.

The St. Regis in Bora Bora is supposed to be fantastic and a great way to blow through tons and tons of Starpoints. "Couples Retreat" was filmed entirely on the property if you want a nice tour of it.
