staying at le merien on tahiti and le maitai on bora bora. can anyone tell me what they thought of theses hotels. info on the cost of food at the hotels would also help in planning ahead. going in may 2001 for 12 days. any advice on activities on the the islands would also be appreciated. thanks in advance.

The Le Meriden on Bora Bora is suppose to be one of the prettiest hotels there. That is per the local people, I personally did not see it. I will be writing more in a different area so you can read there.

We Are honeymooning may also. We Are divers. We Are staying at sofitel motu on bora bora, parkroyal on moorea, and pearl beach on manihi. Would also like info on food, local activities, diving!! Good Luck Scott! WE ARE PENN STATE!!

We stayed at Le Meridien in Tahiti a couple years ago. It was still under construction - but we thought it was wonderful. The pool is fabulous, the people were nice, the room was excellent. The dinners there were a bit expensive - but the dining room is lovely - overlooking some very pretty landscaping. I would take advantage of some of the other eating facilities for dinner. Our favorite was at the Beachcomber - it's a fabulous restaurant - one of the nicest. It was expensive - but well worth every cent. We also stayed at the Le Meridien on Bora Bora (the most gorgeous place I've ever stayed). One thing, at Tahiti, I wouldn't go for an over water bungalow -it's just not as pretty as the other islands. You are going to love French Polynesia - it was the most amazing place we've ever been!!

I spent two weeks in tahiti this May on Moorea. I HIGHLY recommend a trip over there (at least for the day). moorea and bora bora are reputed to be (and i agree) more beautiful than the main island of tahiti. if you can afford it, a water bungalow on Bora Bora would be fabulous.
