Now …where to next!?

Ia Orana!

I cant believe its already over 🙂 Here is a recap of our trip which might help anyone else heading over!

Our flight was delayed leaving Sydney so it was abit stressful getting to our connecting flight. We made it about 10 mins before boarding. We upgraded to a Skycouch beforehand on the longer legs and bid and got an upgrade to premium economy on the shorter leg. Next time id just book premium economy the whole way (think it would have worked out the same cost) Ive never transited before and was shocked we had to go through security scanning again at Auckland. We had brought duty free and that was such a drama as we got rescanned. Alcohol was in sealed bags and we got through but then I got pulled up for a explosive test and someone else come over and wanted the alcohol rechecked….so they opened up the sealed bag and put it through individually…meanwhile Im getting anxious for the connecting flight anyway we made it!

Transferred to the Hilton Tahiti which is so beautiful! This is a really really beautiful hotel and I would absolutely stay here again. Super close to the supermarket too!

Got to Hilton Moorea and we had the best room 101 right opposite the ice machine lol I had read that it was dated and it wasnt as new as Tahiti but we really liked it, it was perfect for us and what we like in a hotel.

Transfers – all our transfers were perfect expect on our way home from Te Moana, someone come and we couldn’t understand him there was another couple waiting. So I checked and he said no not Dolan and then he come back and checked again and said he would call, looked at our sheet and then looked in a book and said come with me…so I have no idea if we went with the right person or not LOL

Getting back to the airport I almost freaked out bc bag dropped closed in an hour and the queue was insane!!! I got anxious and tried to talk my way on to the Premium Economy line and then saw there was a shorter line for web check in which I had done so we didnt have a long queue, they then let us go into premium economy line anyway as we had the ton the second leg. I would have stressed out if I had of waited in the normal line!!

The flight out was also very late. There was 6 of us on the connecting flight in Auckland and we basically landed 5 mins before boarding, that was a heart stopper as we still had to go through transit again!! Maybe next time I wouldn’t cut it so fine hahahaha

Restaurants

We had the buffet and show the first night (had no idea what it cost when we booked it just figured first time it was easy to do) which look food was average but were figured we were paying for the show which we enjoyed

We also ate at the grill and that wasnt too bad, we felt the price was fair here considering it was at the hotel. This closed down the last 2 nights due to weather and basically everything was done out of the main restaurant.

Room service one night which again wasnt too bad at all.

Ate at the Creperie…..they sat us on the other side to the water so when someone left we asked to move so we could watch the sharks and rays!! We got lucky bc we did this on the Thur and it wasnt opened the last 2 nights due to the weather.

We got room service for lunch one day and ordered 2 pizzas….ate half went for a snorkel got back and they had come in and took our tray hahahah we were gutted lol

We did Happy Hour a few times too which was lovely

We also went to Rudys one night and also Holy Steak House….Rudys was nice, it was fresh and well priced and Holy Steak House was AMAZING…and would recommend this to anyone going

We liked that ease of eating in at the hotel depending what we had on each day but would venture out more next time. To be honest I thought the hotel was reasonably priced considering.  We also had some massages at the day spa which we enjoyed
