Thank you!
Hey!! I remember you at the Westin, we were chatting at the beach that day you were recording I was with the wife and the lil 4 month old! Funny how i just found you randomly here. Great job on the video!
Thanks, I hope you had a great holiday.
We've followed the full renovation of this now Westin (formerly Le Meridien) pretty much from the ground up for the last few years... Will most likely try it on one of our future trips to paradise (we go at least once a year and just got back from our latest trip there)!
Besides snorkeling activities, Jetski is 100% a must do in Bora Bora! Great to see you giving Bora Bora Activities Center a shoutout! We've been doing tours with them pretty much since they started as a small ATV Tour only and the owner (a very humble great guy) was the guide... Once he expanded and offered jetski, we started doing their ATV and Jetski combo with lunch at a private motu... We love it! Highly recommend them as well!
Thank you so much for this review! Considering this for our honeymoon in October!
Glad it was helpful!
Go to the Maldives ❤
@@TheIslanddiva what makes you say the Maldives over Bora Bora? :)
@@ashtonkeaton the Maldives is cheaper and has a wider selection of premium resorts that are , newer, more luxurious and all inclusive so you don't have additional expenses for food and drinks. Some all inclusive island resorts also include transfers and tours. You can use a Maldives destination specialist travel agent for the best rates. In addition you can couple Maldives with Singapore, Dubai or even Qatar to get two destinations one trip. The beaches in the Maldives are stunning and it's a true private island, secluded and total relaxation. If you like water activities, lots to do plus spa, snorkeling, diving etc. And the seaplane flight to your island is breathtaking, an experience for sure. The only thing is you would get better weather in November in the Maldives as October is the end of rainy season.
Do you happen to remember if there was a 110v outlet somewhere in the room?
You can use any plug in the outlets in the main room. All phones/laptops etc aren’t bothered about that. It’s just the plug connector type.
@ I have a hairdryer that is not dual voltage and I saw that some resorts on the island have one outlet in the room that’s 110v for this reason. Just curious if this one also had that. I won’t bother bringing it if not since it would require a transformer (not just an adapter)
I don’t remember unfortunately, perhaps you can plug it in the bathroom.
It's wild to me that the St Regis had roaches and termites!!! The Maldives is SUCH a better value because most resorts have an all inclusive package and you can get super luxury all inclusive resorts for the cost of room only at Westin. Not to mention no roaches or termites. If you have points maybe it's worth it.
I would be surprised if you can avoid cockroaches anywhere, after all, that’s what they are known for! The termites however should not be there. You can get all inclusive in Bora Bora but it is even more expensive. The thing with Bora Bora is it has culture, you have Polynesian singing, dancing and it just has a more fun vibe than the Maldives. However, the Maldives has so many hotels that you can get a better deal. I mean there is even a Holiday Inn in the Maldives!
@@TechInTheCar Actually, no All Inclusive in Bora Bora... Most of the resorts do offer meal plans as an added option, but all you get is breakfast and dinner, and they exclude drinks... Therefore, even when you purchase the meal plan, you still have to pay for lunch and drinks at both lunch and dinner...
