OK folks... I don't have time, energy or determination to read through the forums to figure out the latest that's been said. I'm on vacation, after all. And I searched for the keyword Tahiti and found nothing. So, here you go:

(and thank your lucky Garbi hotel WiFi that I can update you with the latest on what's going down at everyone's favorite (based on the outcry in other threads :lol:) beach bar/club place :lol:)

- Bora Bora is not closed. It's open. But it's a quiet bar/cafe and nothing more. The beach still has service. Grab a beach chair and order yourself a sangria.

- The new beach bar Delano's, which has been mentioned in a couple of threads on here, is open. Apparently it's the same owners as BB. Great. It's got some decent tunes playing at a decent volume so as to be audible from the beach. Very shiny new place, to the left of Bora Bora if you're looking at BB with the sea behind you.

- TAHITI, the bar to the right of Bora Bora (when looking at BB with the sea behind you) was always a quiet little place. Not any more!

The Bora Bora sounds system (and even some of the blue drink high tables) has been moved next door to Tahiti.

Basically, they start playing music at decent volume mid-afternoon and turn it up evenings. I got over there around 6 tonight and left around 8 and the palce was rocking. :D :D :D If you, intrepid travellers, were worried about missing the Bora Bora experience (before the place reopens in a month), worry no more :D

hmm... doesn't that blue tarp separating the club and beach look familiar? :lol:

As you'd expect under current circumstances, drug enforcement is a little more serious now... this guy (on the ground in front of camouflage-pants) was so off his rocker he actually danced on broken glass. He was... politely :?... escorted out.

Tahiti, that's the first mention I've seen of that. So are there DJ's at both Delano's and Tahiti? Which one are the Bora Bora DJ's at?

Arrive there tomorrow evening :D

Delano does have a sound system and DJ table, but I think they were just playing mixes all day.

In any case, the action was at Tahiti 8)
 
Delano

Can anyone tell me where delano's is in relationship to Bora Bora/Tahiti?
Is it the covered beach bar/resturant next to Fiesta Don Toni?

Only heard last year that this was going to get a bit livelier...
 
As noted above, if you're facing Bora Bora with the sea at your back, Delano's is to the left. It's in the new orange-ish building that's been built over the past couple of years on the next parcel next to Jet.

There is still the little drinks kiosk on the beach there as well... as far as I can tell, they've still got the beach service covered while Delano's, which sits further back, is just a beachfront bar.
 
People should really not **** with bora bora security.. watchin them for 10 days while staying at Jet i got to see how heavy handed they can get ..
 
Was out at Tahiti for a bit last night. Not too many people, as I suppose you'd expect on a Monday, but we still need to get the word out to people who think BB is closed :!:
 
John get off the computer, you're on holiday fer pete's sake.
Dude, this is where I'm sitting:

It's dark right now, but I can still see the waves crashing on shore and the lights of the Dalt Vila across the water 8)
(plus Irina's gone to bed early and I'm not going out tonight)
