Hilton Moorea gets a Makeover

In an effort to modernize the hotel and emphasize the Polynesian flair, The Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort & Spa has been undergoing renovations over the past year.

All overwater Bungalows are completed and now features new bathrooms, new furniture and new curtains.In addition to renovating the 54 overwater units, the plans also call for the renovation of the remaining units such as the garden bungalows.

Set to re-open early 2010, all garden Bungalows will be remodeled and will feature new bathrooms and new terraces with small private pools.Please note that in order to avoid any inconvenience, all garden units will be closed from September 21, 2009 until the end of the year.

During that period, only the overwater bungalows will be available to guests. The existing bookings for the garden and beach units will be automatically upgraded to overwater bungalows. The renovations will not cause any disturbances to guests who will be staying in overwater bungalows during that time.

Changes in Tahiti Hotel Management

Rumour has it that Starwood Hotels is going to be pulling out of managing 3 popular resorts in Tahiti, Bora Bora and Moorea. Apparently the Sheraton Hotel Tahiti, the Sheraton Moorea and the Bora Bora Nui Resort and Spa (part of The Luxury Collection) are all no longer going to be managed by Starwood in 2009.

Starwood will still have The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort and Spa, the Meridien Tahiti and the Meridien Moorea all of which are very popular resorts in French Polynesia.

Perhaps coincidence, but I don't think so - Hilton Hotels are announcing new openings in February of 2009 in the region - Click Here for the Hilton Link

We anxiously await the official word and details from both hotel chains and see what resort changes may be made with the change of management.
