Check EF for TN avail. AA can see whatever EF shows that TN has made available.

Either C+P at LM BOB or, even better, 60K at IHG Thalasso.

FYI, Dec/Jan is quite literally the height of rainy season.

Bunch of guides recommend taking 'plastic sandals' or water shoes as the 'sand is ground up coral' and can easily cause cuts. Anyone have experience with this? Is this a necessity?

Didn't have that issue. But I guess depends on hotel.

The more I read I think you're right. Moorea seems like it can be an issue, BOB not so much...

Can't hurt to ask... all my food was oven, IIRC, so I didn't.

Yeah what they say and what happens aren't necessarily one and the same. Moorea is full of people now who couldn't get to BOB at the time they were supposed to.

On a separate note were getting into PPT at around 4:30pm and our flight isn't until 11- the hotel suggested we try a restaurant lol- anything to do around PPT after the sun goes down?

Isn't that where all our trips start? No better time to start planning like the present :)

But I was kinda talking about in the near future- well last minute trips are always fun...
