The hype
Guests are blown away by the breakfast buffet and the modern hard product, but service can be 'island time' slow compared to the St. Regis.
Conrad Bora Bora Nui
$900-2,500+/ nacht
Boek dit als You want the most modern, resort-style luxury in Bora Bora and prioritize sunset views and snorkeling over the classic Mount Otemanu backdrop.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Massive hillside spa with arguably the best views in French Polynesia
- Exceptional snorkeling directly under the overwater bungalows
- The 'Incense Ritual' turndown service adds a unique sensory touch
Snel Overzicht: A sprawling, polished Hilton machine that delivers 5-star comfort but feels less 'Polynesian authentic' than its competitors.
Beoordeeld door @Mar: I stayed in this overwater villa and it was pure magic. Waking up to that turquoise water and having my own pool to float in was the ultimate reset. If you want total privacy and luxury, this is it. The snorkeling right off the deck was a huge bonus.

Reality check
You will bleed money on food and drinks; a burger is $40+ and dinner for two easily hits $300 without trying.
- You are a Hilton Honors Diamond member (free breakfast saves ~$100/day)
- You want a private pool on your deck (Conrad has the most inventory of these)
- You prefer a modern, international luxury aesthetic over rustic thatch-roof charm
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
9
- Housekeeping: Twice daily, generally excellent. Turndown service includes water and fresh towels.
- Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate. Large soaking tubs and separate rain showers are standard and kept spotless.
- Maintenance: Very good, though the wooden decks on overwater villas show signs of salt/sun wear (hence the renovation).
- Linens & towels: Crisp, high-thread-count white linens. Beach towels are plush and plentiful.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh tiare flowers; rooms can be customized with the incense menu.

Voordat je boekt
Goed om te weten

Kamer Genie
Beste keuzes
- Overwater Pool Villas in the 300 series (specifically 310-320) for unobstructed sunset views and privacy
- Royal Villas 107 or 126 for maximum isolation at the end of the pontoons
Kamers om te vermijden
- Garden View Suites (500s) – often called 'over-gym' villas; zero privacy and noise from the fitness center
- Villas near the main dock/reception (100s start) due to constant boat traffic

“I am celebrating a special occasion and kindly request a Sunset View Overwater Villa in the 300 series (ideally 315-320) to ensure privacy and direct sun. Please avoid the 500-block Garden Suites and any villas directly facing the construction barge.”
Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the boat transfer included in the room rate?
No. It costs approximately 18,000 XPF ($160 USD) per person, roundtrip. It is mandatory as the resort is on a private motu.
Can I see Mount Otemanu from the resort?
Mostly no. The resort faces the ocean, not the lagoon/mountain. Only a few specific spots (like the spa and Royal Villas) have the iconic view.
Is the snorkeling good?
Yes, actually better than St. Regis or Four Seasons. The coral regeneration under the bungalows (especially 100s/300s) attracts plenty of fish.
How expensive is the food?
Eye-watering. Expect $40+ for lunch entrees and $60-100+ for dinner mains. The breakfast buffet is the best value.
Is there a resort fee?
Technically no 'resort fee', but there is a mandatory 5% service charge on the room rate, plus a small daily city tax (~$2/person).
Can I use Hilton points here?
Yes, standard rooms (Lagoon View Suites) start around 120,000 points, but availability is extremely rare and disappears instantly.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Book the 'Incense Ritual' from the pillow menu—it's a complimentary turndown service where you choose a scent (sandalwood, jasmine) to be burned in your villa.
- ✨
Stock up on snacks, wine, and Hinano beer at the Chin Lee Supermarket in Vaitape using the free daytime shuttle to save hundreds on minibar costs.
- ✨
The Hina Spa has an outdoor treatment deck with the 'Million Dollar View' of Mount Otemanu—you can sometimes access the relaxation area without a full treatment if you ask nicely.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'Garden View Suites' are basically fancy apartments on top of the gym and kids' club—not the romantic bungalow experience you expect.
💡You can kayak to a small private beach on the motu nearby, but the current can be surprisingly strong.
💡The 'free' boat to town stops running for free at sunset, trapping you at the resort for dinner unless you pay the night surcharge.
💡The water depth under the overwater bungalows varies wildly—some are waist-deep, others are 10ft+ deep drop-offs.
💡Room service tray charges are steep; it's often cheaper to walk to the Tamure Beach Grill for takeout.
