Which BoraBora & Maldives Hotel (Hilton v Marriott/SPG)
« on: June 28, 2018, 09:25:29 AM »
Now that Marriott has confirmed that St Regis & Le Meridien BoraBora, as well St Regis & W Maldives will be bookable as Cat 7 through the end of this year (https://points-redemption.marriott.com), i.e. 60,000 points per night, I have a question for those who know:

1) Conrad Rangali v St Regis v W? I have been to Rangali and loved it, but how does it compare?
2) Currently booked into Hilton Moorea (more to do on Moorea) - how do you feel about  St Regis BB v Hilton Moorea or Conrad BB?

60k won't get you a owv at SR MLE. For that reason, I'd vote Conrad.

They're not all OWV in St Regis MLE?

I stayed at conrad. worth every penny for 64k +$130 a night to confirm OWB
heated and stored meals for free and delivered to room with condiments and fresh bread (AYLOR)
It wasnt the best service in the world- but beautiful grounds and I wouldnt pay more for another property there.
I got a deluxe OWB with a view of the mountain- no other resort has that view/ seclusion

Given that it seems that we can book into the OWV at current (expensive) rates and get them re-priced post-August to the lower rates, how do people feel now? More specifically, re: French Polynesia? Conrad BB vs SR B vs Hilton Moorea (I would add IC Thalasso but I can never find rooms on points)?
