Also try calling the hotel directly to see if they can  help

I haven't tried that - I like that idea! Thanks.

Great news but what an awful schedule

My sentiments exactly, at least with respect to the outbound. Inbound is good.

Thru the 14th now..

I may be spilling some beans so please tell me to delete this if it needs deleting but I honestly don't know what's going on...

When I searched ihg for Bora Bora on a random date in July, I got that page that there is no availability. When I checked Le Moana's availability chart, there was nothing available. When I checked Thalassos chart, there was available through the 14th. When I clicked to check in on a day and check out a day later that was available, it showed both Thalasso and Le Moana available! I clicked through to make sure it wasn't phantom. I was able to get to the last page before a reservation without issue.

Anyone know what's going on here? Le Moana's chart seems to be messed up. Showing no availability when there in fact is availability.

If you stay for 3 nights, sure.
Is it worth it to travel 24 hrs each way for 3 nights? I wouldn't. There are other places closer on the map. Do this when you can spend time there and really enjoy it. Don't just "do it" to check it off the list. It isn't daf yomi, it's bora bora.

Gold and above get complimentary upgrades to OWB.
Or you can pay as a gold/plat $130ish a night for a deluxe OWB
