I truly wish for everyone in the comments section of this and the previous video to be able to come here one day. Cheers everyone!
I wish I were there, too. And cheers to you as well on this joyous holiday.
Was there in 2018. It’s such a beautiful place and everyone is so nice and friendly. I have to return one day
Amen..
It's my dream
It'll be underwater by then
This is the number one thing I’d like to do in my life time. It just screams the most peaceful place on earth.
Yes you have right ❤
I was blessed to be able to spend 10 days there. It was wonderful.
Did you need get bored … place looks beautiful but boring .. not another human in sight .. do they have a common area with parties ?
@@LWT633bro you go there to get away from people. Maybe take a cruise or something
This has got to be the most incredible most gorgeous place on planet earth 🌏 ❤️⛱️
What a beautiful melange of art, nature, culture, modern design !!!! 😍🥰♥
Hands down one of the best stays I've ever had! Shoutout to out butler, Nico!
These are the most beautiful films of the most beautiful places in this world 🌎. Thank you for sharing these experiences with us. So inspirational for us ❤
What a spektacular 5 star resort! Great how detailed you present the resort. Your villa looks fantastic.
What I also really like is that you show the breakfast in detail. Your video makes you want to go on vacation. Thumbs up for your fantastic video.
Outstanding video, so-so resort.
We stayed there last September (2022) and found the resort to be in need of some significant maintenance and a facelift. We stayed in a Deluxe Overwater bungalow (Otemanu view). The bungalow was great, though I did not see any of the other guests trying to swim off the swim dock on any of the bungalows on our side. I tried it and found swimming there a little uncomfortable compared to the beach and the excursions in the lagoon. Both of the pools on property were in real need of update, tile repair, cleaning, and were much too cool to be comfortable. One of the two bicycles provided with our bungalow had problems and when we took it back to the bike repair station, the replacement was only marginally better. This is a large property and the bikes are pretty essential to your stay.
We met our "butler" at the dock on arrival, and she gave us a nice tour of the property following our check in process. From that point on, we would occasionally catch glimpses of her on the property, but had no further contact. She spoke English reasonably well, explained she was a student from France and was nearing the end of her "contract" agreement with the St Regis and would soon return to France.
The shuttle launch to Vaitape dropped you off on a dock near the solid waste facility on the island (dump) where a bus then transported you to the town. By the time you got to Vaitape, you only had a couple of hours to do your thing before the bus returned to take you back to the launch dock. We did visit Chin Lee market where we were able to purchase the most incredible baguettes and some ham and cheese to make a great lunch. The bakers at Chin Lee bake these fresh about every two hours and everyone exiting the market has at least a couple of them in their shopping bag. The price is about 60 cents (US) each and they were a big highlight of our Bora Bora visit. Vaitape itself was pretty limited and reminded me of a reservation town in our home state of Arizona. Lots of tourist stuff, but limited otherwise.
The food at St Regis was ok, though it is very pricey, limited in selection, and the resort had a significant insect problem in the food presentation area. We ate a breakfast each morning at the cafe (included in our bungalow package), but the small flies coating everything but the breads made it very hard to eat there. I sent a picture of this problem to the site manager with a complaint and got a word salad response, but no corrective action. We also tried to eat at the Far Niente (Italian), but again found the flies a problem. We ordered glasses of wine to enjoy while our order was prepared, and between sips we had to spoon multiple flies out of our drinks. After this experience, we cancelled our Lagoon reservations. Luckily, the room service food was very good, especially the steak bowl.
On the plus side, the little personal plastic shopping bag with the St Regis logo filled with ice that Hinano beer is delivered to your beach cabana was a great touch. The view of Otemanu from our bungalow was dramatic. Our bungalow itself was both spacious and comfortable. We did spot both Eagle rays and Stingrays from our deck. I also took some great pictures of the Southern Cross constellation also from our deck.
Overall, I would suggest if you want a 5 Star experience at Bora Bora, look at the Four Seasons over the St Regis. We're going back to French Polynesia this fall, but we are not including Bora Bora on our itinerary. Last year, we did the Windstar sailing yacht cruise to each of the islands, followed by the week at the St Regis described above. This year, we'll spend our 2 1/2 weeks at three of the other islands (Huahine, Taha'a, and Moorea) that we visited on the cruise and found more inviting than Bora Bora, together with a couple days in Papeete. We're in our 60's and suggest Bora Bora is probably a lot more enjoyable for 20-something honeymooners.
Thanks for the novella in the "comment" section!
I found it very well written and informative.@@SandraLily2
Watching on big screen tv. Just amazing! Color resolution appreciated in 4K.
I stayed about a month ago. Absolutely amazing! Planning on going back in about a year. I would do five days St Regis, five days at Four seasons next time. Great resorts!
I wished to visit this beautiful place one day with my children before I’m old…thank you for sharing 🥰
Finally! I was surprised a while ago when I searched Bora Bora and couldn't find one of your videos! You're here!
Wow! That aerial view is super impressive 😍Many thanks for the comprehensive tour of the resort!
I just came back from he Intercontinental on Bora Bora. Magnificent!!!
Thank you for whoever created such a beautiful video.
And me too 🙏‼️
Spectacular resort and scenery.
Been to some nice spots in United States, Montage in Laguna, Edgewood in Lake Tahoe, St Regis Deer Valley Utah, WYNN Las Vegas. Never was into foreign travel or tropics but this place is just next level in every way. This place is literally heaven on Earth!
On a 75” TV, this is an epic video.
What a stunning resort this is. It would be a dream to visit here one day.
This has been a sad week for me, grieving the loss of a dear friend. This combination of peaceful images and music has been so soothing to my heart. Thank for you all the work you put into these videos. I will never be able to visit them, but your sharing these beautiful places is very much appreciated.
Just returned from a trip there. Loved all of it. Beautiful place, wonderful staff.
The beauty of pure nature
Just finished watching your review. Honestly, when you are walking towards the lagoonarium and you can see Mt Otemanu above the palm trees, it's like a scene from Jurassic Park. Seriously! One of the best videos you have ever done, and I have watched a lot of them.
Your videos are so beautiful! I'm retired Gulfstream IV Capt. I have travelled many places and I love new adventures. Thank you for your luxury travel wisdom. I look forward to all your adventures. Be Well! :-)
It is a great hotel. The negatives were the termites in the room. We had to change our room twice. The guests are dominated by honeymooners. The dining options are slightly limited. Besides that, it is about as good as it gets. The rooms are gigantic. The weather is always perfect and the water has to be seen to be believed.
Same thing happened to us, except we were fortunate to not see any until we literally were picking up all of our luggage to walk out the door to leave… that said, termites are common in overwater bungalows and the islands. Also, every other thing about this resort we found to be stellar.
Would you recommend this resort ? I’m planning a trip here soon
@@chump6219 Yes, I would recommend it, despite the termites and limited dining options. I am sure the other resorts have similar issues. You will have a great time. If there are termites in your room, just ask the reception staff to switch your room.
@@chump6219 check out ta’haa. I went there and it feels a bit more secluded and the villas were a little nicer 😅
Looks like you're sperated from the locals. I don't get the point of vacationing and only staying at the resort. Looks relaxing but dull.
What a beautiful place in our big world. Can’t wait till next week. Thanks for another great video and taking us on your vacation 👍🏻😊
Ooooo ... I could definitely stay there for about a year .... !! Lovely!! One of my favorite sites is the shadows of the palm trees playing upon the green spanse of the lawn!! Sunset was stunning! Your music selection was impeccable, dear LTE!! Another wonderful video!!
This is such an outstanding and spectacular resort in Bora Bora.
Wow ! Thats another level of traveling! Beautiful place and amazing video ! Enjoy your life as much as you can! This is the way!
Хоть в интернете полюбоваться на такую красоту!!!😊
Bonjour merci pour ces beaux reportages...j'ai découvert votre site lors du confinement..depuis je regarde tous vos reportages... ces destinations sont des rêves pour moi
Lugar lindo é um verdadeiro paraíso ❤❤❤
Amazing view! 🏝
Wow! Cheers everyone
OK this is the BEST of the BEST...and the view is breath taking...Beam me up ...
Thanks for the great job you do. Keep visiting these amazing places and sharing with us great videos. Much appreciated.
Absolutely SPECTACULAR! You do a fabulous job of creating an genuine experience that touches the emotions of your viewers. I’m am always glued to the screen and feel as though I’m being truly transported to another place in time. And Bora Bora is truly spectacular because of its being untouched by the savages of modern society. Thank you!
Except for the cannibalistic success of the global tourism industry lol
Esse lugar é incrível e esse som só ressaltou ainda mais a beleza desse vídeo e desse lugar magnífico ❤
El buen gusto está presente en todos los detalles, durante todo el recorrido a lo largo de la playa. Quien llega allí encuentra todo para hacer sus sueños realidad. El color del agua es fascinante y el sonido acaricia tu piel. Realmente es de ensueño. Muchas gracias.🌷🌷😍😍
Que lugar maravilhoso, que paz e tranquilidade nos passa.❤
Great videography and music.
Paradise on the Earth !😮
Yes , it is 🤩‼️

Ganz ehrlich? Du bist der Beste! Was für wunderbare Videos! Unglaublich und unvergleichlich schön! Vielen vielen Dank dafür🙏🙏🙏
This resort was one of the best vacations we’ve ever had. We’re absolutely returning someday.
This is stunning. Who needs a pool here?
If I ever won the lottery, this is where I would start!!
I always look forward to your beautiful videos after I first found you. Keep up the great work. I can only dream to visit these stunning places and seeing them through your walk throughs is awesome.
Hope to be blessed enough to experience this with my family someday.
beautiful
Amazing place. So a relaxing and really luxurious room to stay in. Really beautiful videw

Très belles plages , très belle photos ça donne envie d'y aller ❤
Intro is magical, so beautiful.
Just stunning 😍 Hope one day will be there 😮👍🌴✈️🙋♀️
Thank you so much for the absolutely amazing video ❤️👍🌺🌴🌴🌴
I absolutely love how you take us with you and we get to tour with you. It was amazing. Our family just returned from Maui where we spent Christmas and returned to a Minnesota blizzard. I was born here but dont want to die in Minnesota...lol
Dream vacay island ❤
Thank you for such a wonderful report. Great production, very informative and a comprehensive view of the hotel. Looks like a fantastic place. Eye watering prices but to be expected at such an exclusive property.
Well presented appreciate the background music and subtitles it adds to the allure, looking forward to visiting😊
Excellent video! I’ve been to the St Regis Bora Bora Resort - it’s MAGICAL. Great job capturing this once in a lifetime experience.
Tip - Take people directly from the airport to their room. Pre checked in - before they get on the plane. You take the luggage to the room and the guest and all the paperwork is pre-done. That’s Vegas Service. Once I leave Canada I don’t touch it again until it’s in my room.
My bucket list dream vacation destination
I will go one day
And probably die there from the shear beauty
Thank you for the perfect video of this totally amazing beautiful place
Great job
Beautiful location. Not accessible for a lot of people but great location. You're almost in a dream, with all those colors
Unglaublich schön!
Good morning my friend.

Absolutely beautiful resort .Thank you for the tour.
Your videos are so breathtaking. Thank you for sharing!
why did I start getting tears watching this?
Absolument magique, quelle belle vidéo ! Merci pour ces vacances exquises d'une heure que vous nous avez prises avec une telle perfection. Grâce à cette vidéo, j'ai choisi mon hôtel sur Bora-Bora ! j'ai hâte d'y emmener ma famille dans les 5 prochaines années ! Le St Régis est juste magnifique !
Would love to go there some day! Your videos are what daydreams are made of!
This boy at 4:23 has been everywhere lucky him! Glad I’m able to enjoy your videos!
I’m so grateful your channel found me. Your video is incredible! It was very relaxing. I felt like I was there.
THIS is surely PARADISE ❤️❤️❤️
Sure I’ve been there in my dreams it was incredible
Thank you Luxury Travel Expert for my morning wake up here
Beautiful view
what a spectacular video! This place is breathtaking
wow it is perfect for our relaxing screensavers!
Lugar maravilhoso
It's seriously the most AMAZING place I've ever stayed! The location is out of this world, it's on its own private island in the heart of Bora Bora's lagoon and the views are just STUNNING!
The accommodation is beyond luxurious, I stayed in an overwater bungalow and it was HUGE with its own private terrace and plunge pool. I felt like royalty living in my own private paradise. Was able to get this place for cheap at budgetarrival.
Cheap, my Arse.
how expensive was it
@@diavolo3084 £2000 per night.
Um paraíso, ❤
Absolutely amazing showcase! Bora Bora is a true paradise indeed! I've got to put the St. Regis on my to do list now! Thank you very much for sharing! Be well, Be safe and Cheers!!
Lindo esse lugar
What a great video!! I appreciate the time and effort that it took to make it. This looks like a very beautiful and magical place to visit; a trip of a lifetime. It is hard to believe that places like this are on our planet.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Greatest gratitude for this video
Stayed 5 nights here and 5 nights at the Hilton on Mo'orea last February for our honeymoon. This beats the Hilton hands down. Two completely different aspects Island wise. Bora Bora is way more for relaxing and chilling and Mo'orea is more adventure geared. The spa was fantastic, the retaurants did no dissapoint. We were in the second to last bungalow on the right at 1:23. we are going back for our 5 year.
I think, this is one of the most beautiful places in the world, merry Christmas from Switzerland
Geweldige video bedankt uit de grond van mijn hart voor je werk😊🙏🏻🙌💕
Wow!, what a wonderful place to relax...thank you for this detailed video...
Absolutely breathtaking ❤
O.M.G. If someone ask me where the heaven is on Earth,I will say " Go to Bora Bora".
But St Regis has done an upgrade for heaven. With a quiet place,marvelous food and a lot of smiles from the people who keep this place up is a must for every bucket list.👍
Красота!)
Amazing, I can only dream. Thank for sharing.
omg so gorgeous! next year we will come visit you Tahiti
