Feedback and Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist: Tahiti, Moorea

Dear Lidia,
The trip was fantastic. I've been trying to think of some possible
improvements to the process, but I can't. We're just super happy with the
way everything turned out.

Travel to and among the islands was a breeze, we were expected everywhere we
went and never had any transportation issues.

The Moorea Pearl was great and the 1/2 board plan was definitely worth it.
We got our free champagne and a pearl, although I had to buy a matching set
of earrings. But that's not your fault :)

The Bora Bora Nui was the most amazing place either of us had ever been and
we've been everywhere. It felt like we were there alone. We never wanted for
anything. It was perfect. And the OWB was exactly as we had imagined except
nicer on the inside. I can't recommend that property enough and I am pretty
discriminating. They brought our canoe breakfast a day early so they didn't
charge us for it and brought us the one we ordered the next day. That was
great.

The Manava on Tahiti is a work in progress. Of course, we have no complaints
about the free room or the circumstances. Just be aware that it looks like
it is going to be pretty nice, but it's not quite there yet. They do not
have a liquor license yet, so no alcohol. But the management and the staff
were great. The pool area is going to be fantastic. Only issue was that the
rooms by the street, where we were, are very noisy due to traffic. No big
deal.

Lidia, you did a great job for us and we really appreciate it. It was
definitely worth the wait. We had the best imaginable honeymoon. I will be
sure to recommend you to anyone I know looking to head to the Societies.
Thanks so much.

Hi Nancy! The trip was AMAZING! Thank you for all that you did. The trip was perfectly seamless. When other people were standing waiting, we were getting whisked away to our resort. We were in love with Bora Bora, and can't wait to take our kids there.

Lidia,

Thank you. Our trip was fantastic! I am wondering if you have an email for the Le Moana. Scott and I dove with the Nemo World Scuba Diving and we forgot to pick up our certificate from the front desk before we left so we could use it toward our certification. WE wanted to see if they would mail it to our home.

If you have it we would really appreciate it. Thank you again for everything!

Testimonials about Leslie Bryant, Tahiti, Fiji, Costa Rica Specialist : Tahiti, Moorea

Hi Leslie,

I have officially recovered from jet lag and wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the Moorea Pearl. They upgraded us to a deluxe over the water bungalow which was a real treat. Very nice resort and very nice staff. Everything is very slow there now and the resort was quiet and the restaurants were empty. All of your arrangements went without a hitch. I wish I could say the sailing trip we planned ourselves was as comfortable as the Meridian and Pearl but it was interesting and we saw beautiful spots. Thank you so much. I will keep your contact because one day I want to go to Costa Rica !!

Hi Leslie;

Thank you very much for your interest in knowing about our trip to Bora Bora.

Well, let me tell you that you did a wonderful job for us.

My wife was very impressed with the way I planned this trip and it was thanks to your help.

We really enjoyed our hotel and the dinners at the restaurants specially the anniversary one at

The Villa Mahana at the VIP table. We also got in touch with this lady that works at the hotel and she invited us to her Motu for an outdoor dinner with ahima (undreground) oven cooking., it was a real experince.

I do not have anything but to thank you for the way you planned this trip and you can be sure that I will recommend you to anybody that ask me about this paradise island.

Hello Nancy.

We had a wonderful time, even better than what we were hoping for. I want to thank you for suggesting Moorea and the Pearl
Resort. The service was excellent and the resort was stunning. What a beautiful upgrade we received. Ended up in a garden-view bungalow with pool. It was heaven! We can't say thank you enough for your help in sending us to the most beautiful place in the world. . Great times, Mauruura Roa.

Hi Lidia,

The Sheraton Moorea was very nice. I was happy with the room. There are a couple restaurants nearby that will pick you up. I went on a Lagoon Tour which offered snorkeling with sharks and rays and as well as a moto picnic. I really enjoyed it. The Moorea island in general is very expensive.

Thanks for all of your assistance.

Lidia,

I got your phone message. We have been so busy since we got back trying to get caught back up with everything. The trip went really well. Everyone was expecting us, and the trip went very smoothly. Thank you for all your hard work to make sure everything was in place. We had a wonderful honeymoon and made many memories.

Testimonials about MIke St. Jovite, Tahiti, Japan, Dubai, Maldives, Seychelles Specialist: Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea

Thank you Mike! We had a truly wonderful vacation. Moorea was fantastic, in fact, we could not believe that anything could be better. That is, until we arrived in Bora Bora and it was even more amazing. The excursions you recommended were great, especially the shark and ray feeding - definitely a must! The only bad part about our trip was that we had to come home!

Thanks again!, Angela & Robert

(By the way, we had the most fantastic meal at a restaurant in Moorea - I think it was called Honu Iti? - it was truly incredible if anyone asks for a recommendation! - We thoroughly enjoyed Bloody Mary's too though).

Testimonials about Leslie Bryant, Tahiti, Fiji, Costa Rica Specialist : Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea

Dear Leslie,

We just got back from our honeymoon and sure enough, the Four Seasons Bora Bora surpassed all of our expectations, it truly was wonderful. We had a great time. The Moorea Pearl was great as well, quite nice. We actually really liked the beach bungalow as a contrast from the overwater. I will say, I am glad we did it in the order we did, as the Four Seasons Bora Bora is definitely nicer, much bigger rooms and impeccable service. But we had a great time on both islands.

Thanks again for all your help.

Feedback and Testimonials about Jenni Malone, Hawaii, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist: Tahiti, Moorea

Hi Jenni,
O.K., we had a fabulous time in Moorea. We loved the Pearl and the staff. Our rooms were fabulous. Loved the overwater, but the bungalow w/ the pool was a great surprise. We really liked the resort, we think even over the Int'l & Sheraton, because it was on the prettier side of the island. Loved the island, the excursions, the food, even the people were pretty friendly and helpful. Everything went real smooth, transfers ect. We now have new expectations for traveling, this trip will be hard to top. Thanks for all your help.

Feedback and Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist: Bora Bora, Tahiti Island,

Wow....it was everything I had dreamed it would be!

The Pearl Moorea was wonderful, the Bora Bora Lagoon was fabulous! I thought the photo us us together showed just how much fun we were having! The other photo is me lounging on the deck of the bungalow with the most incredible view of Mt. Otemanu! I had tied my new pareo to the railing so Blair would know which bungalow was ours when he would return from snorkeling! We spent a lot of time on that deck! I will never forget it.............

It was so fun being around so many young honeymooners! About 90% of all the people we met! They graciously hung out with us "old folks" and I think most were inspired to see that a married couple can make it 25 years and still have a zest for each other and for traveling!

My husband loved all the sea life....I loved the over water bungalow !

Thanks so much for all your help....we appreciate you!

Many blessings,

Testimonials about Leslie Bryant, Tahiti, Fiji, Costa Rica Specialist : Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea

Hi Leslie~

WHAT A TRIP!!!! It truly was a perfect paradise! We loved every place we stayed.

The IC Tahiti upgraded us to room #319 on the corner, which gave us a view of both the lagoon and the ocean that was incredible. We wish we had stayed there another night but by getting up early, we felt like we had a whole day there to enjoy the resort before we flew to Moorea. The accommodations were very nice and very clean and we loved the fresh flowers in the room.

We were so glad you changed us from the IC Moorea to the Moorea Pearl. It was a small resort but very nice. We didn't get upgraded here but wanted our Premium Beach bungalow anyway (we were in #305). We liked being so close to the beach. The huge bonus of the Pearl was the reef wall just past the OWB'S. It was incredible snorkeling there with colorful coral and fish and it was so convenient...GREAT CALL BY YOU!!!! We only wish we had at least one more day there.

What can I say about the IC Thalasso??? From the moment we landed in Bora Bora, we felt like we were in a dream!! The water color of the lagoon is indescribable and everything about the IC Resort was perfect!! We were treated like a King and Queen and were upgraded automatically to a Sapphire OWB with a magnificent view (#226). I had researched everything thoroughly, including seeing pictures of most resorts there and I was still amazed and thrilled when the pictures didn't begin to do the room justice when we walked in!! We were so glad we had 5 nights there. We did an excursion every day and still had time to enjoy the resort.

We have done a lot of traveling and have to admit the Tahitian Islands have been our favorite. We hope to go back someday. It was EVERYTHING we had hoped for and MORE!!

Thank you so much!

Melinda,

You planned the perfect Tahitian honeymoon for us! Not a single detail was left out! We enjoyed our stay in the overwater bungalow at the Sofitel in Bora Bora. It was amazing to see the tropical fish just below our feet. The underwater safari excursion was better than you described! We also loved the private helicopter transfer from Bora Bora to Taha’a. The views were breathtaking. Our stay at Le Taha’a Private Island Resort & Spa was like nothing we have ever experienced!

Thank you for planning our dream honeymoon! We also appreciate all of the time, thought and consideration that went into planning something that was perfect and tailored just for us! Also, thank you for your patience in answering the millions of questions we had along the way! We know we can count on you for an incredible vacation.

Feedback and Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist: Bora Bora, Tahiti Island, Te Tiare, Huahine

Hello Lidia,
We received your phone call and your e-mail. I am so sorry that I have not gotten back to you earlier. Just after we got home from our trip we got a puppy and she has been keeping us very busy when we are home from work.
We had a great trip. We kept ourselves busy and loved the beautiful blue water. Our dive trip, 4x4 trip, and the dinner at Bloody Mary's that you arranged were great. We also really enjoyed the Bora Bora Pearl Resort. Te Tiare had really nice, large bungalows and the people there were really nice, but the resort seemed to be in a bit of disrepair for a "luxury resort." However, we still really enjoyed the archaeological sites and the scuba diving/snorkeling on Huahine.
Thank you again for all of your help in arranging a fabulous trip.

Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist: Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora

Hello Patricia,

Our trip to Moorea was amazing. I really don't think words or pictures do it justice, it is the most beautiful and peaceful place either of us has ever seen. We can't thank you enough for all the work you did taking the hassle out of planning a trip like this. Having all the transfers prearranged made it a breeze getting to the hotel from the Airport. Everyone was vey nice and helpful in making sure we arrived where we were supposed to be on time. The Sofitel Moorea was beautiful, I am so glad that we followed your suggestion and stayed there. The rooms were awesome and the water was like snorkeling in a fish tank. The staff were very helpful with setting up all the excursions that we wanted to do. I would definitely recommend both you and Travel Wizard to anyone planning a trip. In fact we already have, to a couple that is very interested in planning a trip to Tahiti. Thank you again for all your hard work and help. We look forward to using yourself and Travel Wizard again.
The only bad thing about the trip, and I use bad loosely. Is that we got to the Sofitel so early our room was not ready and we had to wait awhile to check in. We lounged around at the pool and the beach. But I wish we could have got in our room a little sooner. Once again I use bad loosely, I would not have changed getting there early, we really appreciated you getting us on the overnight flight. This got us almost a whole extra day on the island.
Thank you again for all your help. We look forward to working with you again in the future and sending business your way. It was a trip of a lifetime and I don't think we could have done it without you.

Sincerely,
Michael and Jen

Hi Rose,
Just wanted to thank you for putting together a fantastic trip! We had the
time of our lives and you made everything so easy! There was always
someone waiting for us for every activity or to pick us up at the airport.
The hotels were great and we loved the islands since each one was so
different! We especially loved snorkeling. It was like swiming through an
aquarium! Cant wait to go back again! We will surely call you for our
next trip!

Dear Rose,

I just wanted to send you a note to report on our trip to Moorea. It was fabulous. We had such a wonderful time. The Sofitel was perfect. We had no complaints.. the bungalows and meals were amazing. We felt very fortunate to have committed to the Sofitel and the meal plan especially when other couples staying at other resorts were not very satisfied with their accommodations. Thank you for putting us in a perfect place!

Sorry for the delayed response. The trip was more then anything we could have imagined. You were correct on the expensive burgers, but St. Regis was fabulous and everything went smoothly.
Bora Bora has the most beautiful sunsets that we are going to remember forever.

Testimonials about Leslie Bryant, Tahiti, Fiji, Costa Rica Specialist : Tahiti, Moorea

Hi Leslie!

Shawn & I had an absolutely wonderful vacation! Tahiti was truly paradise! Everything was absolutely gorgeous! The staff at the Intercontinental Tahiti and the Moorea Pearl resorts were more accomodating and friendly than I ever could have imagined! We snorkled everyday, lounged by the pool, did some sightseeing by scooter, and had some awesome excursions. We enjoyed the Tiki Villiage dinner and show very much. The highlight, however, was probably the shark/ray snorkling and picnic. That was an unbelieveable experience! I managed to learn a few phrases in Tahitian before we went, and that helped immensely! Not so much from the communication aspect, but the people I talked to thought an American tourist speaking Tahitian was hilarious!!! So, it was a great ice breaker- I made quite a few friends there!!

Anyways, thank you so much for all of your help (as well as for the pineapple welcome you sent to our room at the Moorea Pearl). Everything went smoothly - we did not encounter 1 problem! I would highly recommend your service and would recommend going to Tahiti for anyone who wants a tropical vacation. Although we had to travel far to get there, it was worth every second, and we would LOVE to go back!

Thank you again!
Shannon

Feedback and Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist: Bora Bora, Tahiti Island, Moorea

Hi Lidia,

The honeymoon was just fantastic! The water really IS that blue!! It's a shame that we did not have a longer stay at the Radisson, as we got upgraded upon arrival to a duplex - which was just amazing! At the Intercontinental Moorea, we decided to take them up on their offer and paid an extra $400 to stay in what they called a "premium overwater bungalow." Our overwater bungalow at the Bora Bora Lagoon Resort was also nice.

We took on many excursions, but we had plenty of time for R & R also. We did the ATV excursion in Moorea. I would highly recommend this to any adventure seekers. It's a different way to see the interior and exterior of the island and the views afforded were phenomenal. In Bora Bora, we did the all day lagoonarium excursion one day, dinner at Bloody Mary's one night, the Jeep 4 x4 safari, and some scuba diving. It really was paradise!!!

Granted, it was quite pricey. We kept referring to it as the "land of the $20 hamburger." We had a wonderful time and we did not encounter any difficulties with the vouchers, transfers, or accommodations thanks to you. Thank you for your assistance in making our honeymoon all the more perfect! We will certainly recommend your services to others, and we will contact you with any future travel needs we may have in the near future.

Best wishes for a happy and healthy summer!!

Best regards,

Rasmi & Dan

Hey Patricia, We did have the time of our lives! Thank you again for helping make it a reality. We are settling back into the real world (BOO HOOO). We want to send you a couple of pics soon if that is cool. They hooked us up with the upgaded bungalow, thanks to your recommendation....all the way at the end of the pier. Absolutely beautiful. We couldn't find jobs on the island despite our inquiries. Just didn't want to leave. Thanks soo much!

Feedback and Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist: Bora Bora, Tahiti Island

Hi Lidia, We had a really great trip, especially at the Bora Bora Lagoon Resort – the bungalow was definitely as advertised at the very end of the last group of overwater bungalows. By you making the early reservation in April at Villa Mahana, you made us the envy of the island as we got the “top table” for our evening. Kia Ora was lovely, too, but can’t compete with the BBLR. Probably the only thing I would have done differently is avoided Bloody Mary’s, so if you have a clever way of talking people out of it in the future you might want to consider it. Otherwise it was all great and the BBLR gave us a late checkout which made the last day seem near-perfect.

Ben Davoren

Feedback and Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist: Bora Bora, Tahiti Island

The trip was excellent, the places beautiful and everything you scheduled went according to plan. I would certainly recommend you in the future.

One note though, the service at the Intercontinental Moorea was pretty poor, particularly given it is typically a high quality chain. Bora Bora Lagoon was far more organized and efficient.

Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist: Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea

Hi Patricia - We are getting adjusted - slowly but surely! We had a wonderful time, especially in Bora Bora. No problems with flights or accommodations - and we were pleasantly surprised in Bora Bora when they upgraded us to a beach bungalow! It was so nice to have the ocean view - and then of course we really loved the overwater.

Our only disappointment was the weather - it was cloudy most days and a little cooler than I expected. It rained for awhile on 3 or 4 days. Also, the mosquitoes were bad in Tahiti and Moorea. You were right about not needing to stay in Tahiti very long. We did have fun that first night though eating at the roulottos along the waterfront.

We are glad we went and really appreciate your help. Due to the cost, though, I'm not sure I would choose it again over Hawaii or a cruise. The language barrier and currency exchange also take away from a stress-free island getaway.

Thank you so much for the nice note! We are back and had the best time ever! Everything went smoothly and we had sooo much fun. Thank you again for all of your help and advice!

We LOVED Moorea. It was a great hotel and loved the lagoon. The Nui was really pretty too (the huts were amazing--awesome bathroom!) but in the end I think that we loved Moorea a little bit more. The Nui did give us a 4:30 check out on the day of our departure and that was very, very key! We’ll be sure to give you a call for our next excursion!

Our entire trip was fantastic, we loved Bora Bora our Bungalow was wonderful and the people at the Pearl were very friendly. we took a 4x4 jeep tour in Bora Bora which took us up to the top of some of the mountains were we could see the entire island and the view was just breath taking of course we snorkeled most of the time and enjoyed seeing the tropical fish and some rays.

Moorea Pearl resort was also nice but it did not hold a candle to the Bora Bora Pearl in Bora Bora. We did a snorkel and feed the sharks and rays excursion as well as an island tour which was very nice.

Thanks again for all your help it was a trip of a life time

Feedback and Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist: Bora Bora

Lidia,

We had a great time. Everything was just as we imagined. If there was one negative it would have to have been the weather. It rained at some point in the day each day that we were there. But we were able to get in a lot of sun in between the rain showers.

The trip was great, the transfers were great and the Bora Bora Lagoon Resort was wonderful. We met a lot of other honeymooning couples so it was nice to be with others in the same boat as us.

Thank you again for all of your help and we definately will contact you next time we are in the market for another wonder vacation.

Hi Patricia,
We had an awesome, relaxing time! Thank you for your help!
The grounds of the Sofitel were great and the bungalows were very nice. The bed was a bit hard, but it was only two nights.
The Bora Bora Nui was WONDERFUL! The overwater bungalow was spacious & grounds were great & the staff was so friendly and helpful. :-)
All the transports came on time, etc. so overall we had a great time. We were sad to come back, but I guess that's a sign of a good vacation.
Hope all is well with you!

Hi Patricia,

Sorry I haven't responded. The vacation was wonderful. We enjoyed the Club Med and considering the prices of everything in FP, it was by far the best value. The Nui was also very nice and the perfect way to end our time on Bora Bora.

I'll be happy to let you know when we plan our next vacation, most likely in 2010 to New Zealand.

Thanks for all your help, it really was an incredible experience.

Feedback and Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist : Tahiti, Moorea, Rangiroa

Dear Lidia,

We had a great time!! Every thing went very smoothly including all the flights.

Laura and I were a little disappointed in the Sheraton Moorea but still had a great time there. There was a complete absence of any service from the staff. Though when you approached them and made requests they would provide. The beach area is only about 50 meters long and there were only 8 umbrellas on the beach. About the same number at the pool. And even though the place was only about 2/3 occupied by 9 AM all spots at the pool and beach were taken. There was no service (drinks, food, etc.) at either the beach or pool area which was very odd. Just not what we expected from a 4-5 star hotel. Would not recommend. Like I said though, Laura and I still had a great time. The snorkeling/diving was really good and the accommodations were very nice. Very peaceful and relaxing.

Now it was a completely different story at the Kia Ora. We were greeted upon arrival with lei, towels and drinks and only had to present the Travel ID card at check in. The Sheraton check in was like any other hotel, credit card, fill out paper work, here's your key. The service was great at the Kia Ora. The first time we ate at the restaurant they got our room number and from then on they remembered us and we never had to bother with a check or anything. They even had a local group come in and sing me happy birthday with cake and the works the night we arrived. Very nice!! The overwater accommodations were outstanding!! The snorkeling/diving was great. This hotel was exactly what wanted. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

This was by far the best trip we have taken. We would have liked to have stayed longer at the Kia Ora but all good things must come to end, I guess. On the long flight back Laura and I started talking about our next trip to Greece.

Thanks again for everything. We cannot say enough about how we appreciate the work you do and how good you are at it.

Thanks,

Eric & Laura

We just returned on Sunday. I think I have finally recuperated from the jet lag. Wow!!!

We had a wonderful trip. Bora Bora is the most beautiful location we have ever visited. The overwater bungalow at Le Moana was perfect and we met so many nice people (mostly Honeymooners). Bloody Mary's should be one you insist on folks going to! The food was fabulous, we went back for lunch one day and were equally impressed.

Testimonial about Rose Linderman, South Pacific Specialist: Tahiti

Dear Travelwizard.com

I have just returned from a wonderful trip to French Polynesia, Bora Bora and Rangiroa. While I am in the Travel Industry myself, I am not well versed on French Polynesia and I approached the internet.

Enter the hero of the day: Rose Lendenman.

I was so fortunate to come across a company like yours and a specialist like Rose. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable about all of the properties that I was planning to visit, she was very patient in explaining all of the different options including types of hotels, types of rooms and possible meal plans.

Rose spoke openly and honestly about the various properties and worked with me to best suit my needs. And that she did, resulting in a “perfect” vacation from start to finish.

I also appreciated the fact that she treated me like a travel colleague in terms of prices and general information.

Since I plan on doing a lot more travel in the “luxury” category, you will continue to get my business and my recommendations to others.

Thank you again to Rose and your company. Job well done!

Sincerely,

Art Williams

Testimonials about Nancy Neiman, Fiji, Tahiti, Australia Specialist: Tahiti Cruise

Hi Nancy,

It was incredible. The cabin was great and of the course the service
was fantastic. We really enjoyed the tours too. Ken is hooked on scuba
driving now, so every cruise we take from now on will have to include a
tour with intro to scuba. The only thing that I didn't like was the
long plane ride, but that is what you have to do to visit exotic and
beautiful places. For sure, the next time we have to travel more than 5
hours, we'll be going first class (more room to stretch out in. But
other than the flight, I can't even being to describe how incredible the
cruise was. Thanks for all your help, and the gifts too.

Dear Karen,

Attached are some pictures of our trip. I want to thank you for putting together our trip. It was the best vacation we ever had. Everything you set up for us really exceeded our expectations. All of our documents were perfectly in order, the accomodations were as described, I can not say enough. You even sent us a note at Tahaa wishing us a Happy Anniversary.

There is really so much I need to say thanking you for what my Karen said was the trip of the century.

Hi Nancy,

We had a great trip all in all. Our experience at Sheraton in Tahiti was just so-so and their service level was certainly less than expectation, however, this was overshadowed by the amazing experience at St. Regis. They really went out of their way to provide the best experience! We were upgraded from the private pool beach villa to a premium deluxe over water bungalow at St. Regis. Thank you for your gifts that awaited us in our room and for helping us through this schedule. Our flights were seemless and overall the honeymoon was most memorable.

Thank you!

We really enjoyed that Melinda took the time to understand what we wanted out of our vacation and she was very thorough in making sure our trip was exactly what we wanted. She provided very personable service, was easily accessible by phone and e-mail, and was very efficient in answering all of our questions. Melinda’s vast knowledge of the different resorts in Tahiti also helped us a lot in making our decision. Also, Melinda did not hesitate to research multiple honeymoon packages until we found the right one. Melinda also kept in touch with us throughout the whole process of planning our vacation and even after we got back from our honeymoon, which was very reassuring. We really enjoyed having Melinda help plan our truly amazing honeymoon package and would definitely use her travel services for future trips.

Best Wishes,

Gina & Chris

Testimonial about Sharon Walters, Tahiti, Exotic Vacations, and Tours Specialist:

Dear Sharon.
OOOOOOOOHHH LAAAAAAHH LAAAAAHHH!
HOTEL BORA BORA =Totally Fantastic!
We had dinner with the GM (he cooked a
fantastic Thia chicken meal for us & what we thought would be a couple
of hours turned into a 5 hour great conversations & feasting.... just
the 3 of us!!! I will admit to stumbling home tho from the great wine!

We went on a shark feeding tour and got in the water surrounded by about
25 or 30 black tip reef sharks - did I say surrounded - how 'bout
swirling around us.... it was great!!! We did the same with stingrays &
they were so tame - one actually 'climbed' up the front of me looking
for food! I had to push him back into the water 'cause I had fed
another one my fish!!! (We were standing in neck deep water for these
guys!) It was great fun! We got a video/cd of the whole tour & have
been showing it to our friends/family...

Great fun! We talked to several people in the airport who had stayed in
some of the other hotels around the island (there are now 17 !) and they
may have had nicer accommodations, but no one has the snorkeling & reef
that Hotel Bora Bora has... we swam with turtles, stingrays, eagle rays,
eels, octopus and a uncountable host of other fishes..... all wild...
they have a 'resident' manta ray that comes buy most evenings.... I'll
send you pictures of 'her' .... did I tell you how much we love that
place????

It was as tremendous as we remembered it and with the news of a remodel
pending it will make the most beautiful place on the planet more
'upscale'

I'm excited to go back for our 35th Anniversary!!!

THANK YOU!!

Merry

Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist

Hi, Patricia,
We had a great time.
I was little scared at Tahiti and Moorea because of lizards on ceiling.
At Moorea, I was bitten by mosquitos so badly enough to scraching all day. It was extremely itching.
Otherwise, everything was wonderful. Beautiful water, nice weather, luxurious rooms....
We both really liked the overwater villa at Bora Bora.
The resort upgraded our room to Horizon overwater which was perfect for us.
Since it was off season and resort was huge, it was very quiet and not that many people around, so we were kinda lonely.
Both of us returned with dark, dark skin with definite tan line. It's already starting peeling.
We were very satisfied with all the services, except one.
On the way to Tahiti, the airline gave us the separate seat. They said the plane right before us got broke down, so they had to put passengers from previous plane to ours.
Because of that, my husband and I had to fly separate for almost 9 hours.
Besides that, it was perfect honeymoon and definitely we like to go back soon.

Thank you for all your services. Mr. and Mrs. Lee

Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist

Dear Lidia,

It was a good trip, great weather, the Raddison Tahiti was very nice, everyone was so helpful and pleasant. We arrived in 9 a.m. and they let us go right to the room. Check out was 2p.m but they let us stay till 6:30p.m. when we left for the airport. Very expensive there. But we had a good vacation. Home now to cold weather!!! We are considering taking our whole family on a cruise over Christmas possibly in 2009. Our grankids in their late teens and 20's would love to go where there would be spots to parasail, and all those water activities young people like. There would be about 20 of us. Just starting to do some thinking about this.

Testimonials about Leslie Bryant, Tahiti, Fiji, Costa Rica Specialist :

Hi Leslie,

We’re back from our trip and want to thank you for arranging such a wonderful trip for us…really an experience of a lifetime! Tahiti and the surrounding islands are really a dream!

The Intercontinental hotel in Papeete was excellent… the room, the food, and the service. Tour was very good.

The Bora Bora Nui was excellent…room, activities, food, service…..a place I would recommend to everyone. In spite of the fact that there were a small number of guests, they provided excellent service, with a really tremendous staff of well trained and attentive people.

The Le Taha’a Private island and Spa was Fantastic!! Again, the room, the service, and the food were all the best. The staff was the best…trained, pleasant, and available.

Overall the tours were good
.

Again, thanks for your flawless arrangements….the logistics were just tremendous, and you thought of every detail and executed them perfectly. The flights, (loved the helicopter ride!), the transfers, and the tours all happened without flaw, and as a person who travel frequently internationally, I can really appreciate what it takes to make that happen.

Thanks again Leslie!

Testimonials about Nancy Neiman, Fiji, Tahiti, Australia Specialist

Hi Nancy,

We had a wonderful time in Tahiti. We rented a car for 2 of the days and drove around the island and hiked one of the days and the forest was so dense that we didn't get wet. We went bike riding, snorkeling (a lot), swam to our own island and lots of other stuff.
Everything went so smoothly with our flight, pickups and hotel. We were very impressed. Our flight arrive a little early and someone was already there waiting for us.
It was a really great experience and we were very glad that we worked with you. If we would have made all the arrangements ourselves it would have been a disaster. We really appriciate all your help and I will definately refer anyone I can to you.
Thanks again!

Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist

Hello Patricia!
      Wow! We had such a great time! We were blessed with beautiful
weather the entire time.
      I have to say, if I were to choose between the two islands we
visited, we loved Moorea more. The landscape was just breathtaking.
Its so hard comparing 2 beautiful places!
     Also, the Sofitel in Moorea was amazing. You told me it was
remodeled and boy was it hooked up. The inside of the Bungalo was
gorgeous. Every aspect about it.
    The food at the Sofitel was also top notch. Five star for sure.
The restaraunt "Pure", we hated to leave. We ate there every morning
and night.
      The Pearl in Bora Bora was nice, though it seemed since it was
the "offseason" , there was only one place to eat. So we hit up
Bloody Marys a bit which was super.
       Overall, I just wanted to thank you for making things so easy
and wonderful for us!
    Thanks so much again. You will definitely be hearing from me,
friends, and clients soon. Sincerely, Andrew Kresler

Testimonials about MIke St. Jovite, Japan, Dubai, Maldives, Seychelles, Tahiti Specialist:

Michael,

I have to tell you how enjoyable a vacation we had in Bora Bora. The Nui Spa was over the top in almost every way. It had a few kinks in its armor-- fitness center was awful, spa was not great, and we did inform the new general manager about these things. But other than that everything was beautiful. The rooms were out of this world, top of the line appointments in the room. The views were unbelievable. The water, well what can I say, it was like swimming in your private fish tank! A five foot shark actually passed by our deck one afternoon, it was great.

Tahiti doesn't measure up to Bora Bora. The hotel was OK but we would have much rather spent our whole vacation in Bora Bora. Anyway, job well done, we had a spectacular time. Bora Bora was way more than I expected and I would love to go back. Maybe you know even better places to go with those types of accommodations.

Thanks, Ed

Testimonials about Nancy Neiman, Fiji, Tahiti, Australia Specialist:

At first, I thought I'd be able to book all our arrangements online as I normally would for a trip, but trust me, it's next to impossible with all the tiny connecting boats/planes/helicopters, etc. I stumbled upon travelwizard.com and ended up using their Tahiti specialist (Nancy - she's AWESOME!!!!! She spent SO MUCH TIME with me planning this thing, didn't push any resorts on me at all, and it's free. ASK FOR NANCY and you won't be sorry! I'm so glad I had her advice and help!)

My wife and I have been lucky enough to have stayed in some amazing places, and I can comfortably say that this hotel is easily one of the most beautiful places you could possibly stay. We were there for 5 nights as part of our honeymoon, and we both LOVED it here.

I'll keep this short, but here's my review:

The rooms: huge, clean, and gorgeous!! The bathroom was amazing, and breakfast in the room each morning was great.

Travel: we flew in from Le taha'a via helicopter. SO FUN!!! (speaking of which, I highly recommend the other places we stayed as well: Le Taha'a Resort/Spa and Sofitel on Moorea. I did a ton of research here before the trip, and travelled around once we were there to compare our places to the other hotels. In every case, I was SO glad that we were staying where we stayed. Perfect honeymoon: Sofitel on Moorea, then Le Taha'a, then Regis!)

Service: I had heard to not expect top-tier service in French Polynesia, but honestly, I thought the service was pretty great. It wasn't quite what you'd get in a nice asian hotel (for us, the best service so far anywhere has been at Banyan Tree in Bintahn Indonesia - that place is amazing too!!), but it was much better than your average hotel, that's for sure. I also thought it was better even than the nicer Vegas places, such as Bellagio.

Spa: great! VERY modern and slick. I tried the hot-stone massage and thought it was great. Not what I expected. I guess I thought it would be painful or something. The spa itself is on some beautiful grounds, and is worth a visit, even just for snorkeling. (my favorite massage was still the "rain massage" at Le Taha'a Private Island Resort & Spa -- 3 huge shower heads rain on you throughout the massage! Awesome). Overall, I'd give this spa a 9/10 though, because it *was* really nice and clean, the massage was professional and felt great, and the service in the spa was EXCELLENT. A man there named Glen was a lot of help to us, and everyone was really friendly.

Lagoon Restaurant: TERRIFIC meal. quasi-expensive, but worth it. Call ahead and try to get a room right by the water at sunset. WOW.

Tours: We did the jet-ski tour and had a blast, even though it was raining. (it rained the only day we did the jet skis! d'oh!). We also did the private sunset catamaran tour with Richard. This was the highlight of the whole honeymoon, and if you can afford it, I HIGHLY recommend it.

TIP: If you do this, and you lay out on the netting above the water, watching the sunset with your glass of wine, make sure you hold onto your camera or have it around your wrist. Putting it in your pocket is a REALLY bad idea, and take it from me - it really sucks to suddenly discover that your camera has disappeared into the ocean while you were lost in romantic stargazing, losing 2 weeks of photographs... d'oh! Anyway, Richard was awesome, and I can't recommend this trip enough.

Dining: We also splurged one night and ate at a place called Villa Mahana. Holy moly. My wife says this is the best single meal she's ever had. For me, it's my second favorite, but it still blew me away. I can still taste it!! EXCELLENT FOOD!

Anyway - if you can swing it, stay here at least for a couple nights. We went around the whole island a couple times, and nowhere else even compared. Even Four Seasons (which wasn't open yet) didn't quite compare. The rooms look big, but more than half of them are out over darker deeper water. The cool thing about Regis is waking up and seeing your view of the mountain and the AMAZINGLY bright blue water all around you.

We want to return someday for sure, and there's no way I'd stay anywhere else.

Anyway - Nancy Neimann at travelwizard.com rocked. Look her up at: NNeimann@travelwizard.com and make your life a LOT easier.

Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist

Hi Patricia,

Thank you soo much for everything! Bora Bora was a beautiful place to visit
and I'm so happy we got to go there. Everything ran very smoothly from all
of the connections between flights and boat rides and the employess at the
Sofitel were more than nice to the both of us. The manager got the chef out
to speak to us about vegetarian options which was really nice of her and him
to prepare something nice for us.

I totally loved the overwater bungalow!! IT was absolutely amazing and then
they upgraded us to a lagoon bungalow afterwards instead of a garden one
which was really nice of them. The mosquitoes were a little bad in the
place and the wind blew pieces of the roof onto our bed and in our room
everyday (which looked like dust) which wasnt so nice but they tried to
sweep and mop everyday to get it out.

We only ate at the hotel restaurant 2 times as we wanted to experience some
of the other restaurants and polynesian cuisine. We also shopped at the
local grocery store every morning to get fresh baguettes for breakfast:)

It rained a couple of days that we were there but we didnt mind. We also
kayaked (courtesy of the hotel) and rented bikes and rode to vaitape for a
half day which was nice as well.

We wanted to thank you for planning such a smooth and relaxing trip for us.
Everything from the information sent in the mail to everyone taking care of
us at the airports was great. We couldnt have asked for anything else.

I gave all of my information to my parents in hopes that they will make a
trp out at some point so hopefully you will get a call within the next
year. I would definitely recommend your services to others who ask!

Thanks again Patricia:)

Bina and Sandeep

Hi Patricia,
