Original post
Bonjour à tous!
je cherche des gens qui ont travaillé ou qui sont en ce moment embauchés à l'hôtel St Regis de Bora Bora pour me donner quelques renseignements si possible.
Je devrais recevoir une offre sous peu pour y travailler en tant que Butler et je voudrais savoir si les relations entre les membres du personnel de tout l'hôtel sont bonnes, comment sont les logements (pour 1 personne ou plus; kitchenette ou pas; animaux autorisés; tv fournie???), s'il y a des activités gratuites pour le staff, des navettes pour l'île principale, le droit de profiter de certains coins de la plage de l'hôtel, et la description de ce que fait exactement un Butler là-bas si possible, le salaire, tout ça tout ca!!!
Merci d'avance pour tous les renseignements que vous pourrez me donner.
St regis est un bel hotel, mais très mal placé. En tant que Butler, tu peux faire pas mal d'argent (pourboire) .. disosn que si tu reste un an las bas, tu mettras plus d'argent de coté que si tu bossais 10 ans en france.
Autrement, pas grand chose a faire sur place, mais cela reste très suportable
Autrement, pas grand chose a faire sur place, mais cela reste très suportable
Merci pour ta réponse.
Je viens d'avoir des renseignements par la responsable des ressources humaines, je devrais finalement commencer par un poste de réceptionniste car les postes de butlers sont très demandés et en tant que nouvelle, il faut commencer par autre chose!
Les logements sont des colocations mais je vais voir s'il y a moyen de me loger sur place par mes propres moyens. Merci encore!
En fait, le mieux c'est de faire de la coloc sur l'ile avec d'autres staff de l'hotel.
Les logements du personnel sont propres, neufs et biens tenus, mais on dirait des baraques de l'armée..
Si le directeur est le meme (Milton Sgarbi) tu verras il est très très gentil..
Néanmoins, ils ont un turn over de staff important, surtout chez les plus jeunes, car ya pas de boite ect..
Enfin bon, ca reste une experience et c'est toujours bon a prendre

Merci pour l'info!
En fait, je pensais et espérais que l'hôtel fournissait des logements individuels. J'ai un peu passé l'âge de vivre en colocation et l'envie n'y est pas non plus! A long terme, ça risque d'être impossible à gérer pour moi donc il va falloir que je me trouve un studio ou un truc dans le genre sur l'île principale. J'en parlerai à Milton...!!!
Merci encore!
j'ai travaillé au St Régis, j'ai été butler un moment. Alors question logement c'est tout simplement le pire de l'île, tu seras à 3 parfois 2 dans un logement (barres de 6 logements)pas de meuble et surtout aucune intimité.la base est construite sur une ancienne décharge à coté d'un chantier, impossible de se baigner en face pas de navette pour le village...donc forcement une ambiance assez tendue.le staff français tiens rarement plus de 6 mois.et en général le staff est traité comme de la m...mais ça veut pas dire qu'il ne faut pas venir à bora bora parceque bora c'est de la bombe atomique.Mon conseil, viens au St Régis ils paient le billet puis trouve tranquillement ailleurs il y a 14 hôtels ici.c'est ce que j'ai fait comme d'autres car certains hôtels ont des logements et une ambiance vraiment plus cool et sont beaucoup mieux situés, alors bora oui mais file du St régis le plus vite possible et va à l'interconti au sofitel ou au pearl beach.

Salut Nattea!
Si tu tiens vraiment à aller au St Regis, je te conseille de taper "st regis bora bora " sur google et tu tomberas sur leur site. Tu pourras y envoyer un e-mail au service de réservation qui transmettra. Mais comme Ronic, je te conseille pas de le faire parce que t'es vraiment mal traitée là-bas, moi j'ai pas tenu parce que toute l'ambiance est pourrie, les logements mal placés, t'es isolé et tu peux rien faire, c'est certainement fait exprès d'ailleurs parce que tous ceux de là-bas veulent en partir mais t'es un peu prisonnier vu le prix des billets d'avion!
Sinon je te conseille Moorea comme île, y'a plus de convivialité et c'est superbe, avec des bus qui font le tour.
Bon courage
Nana!
Salut Ronic29
je confirme, le st regis y'a une ambiance de m..., les logements sont loin de tout (enfin faut dire qu'il y a pas grand chose non plus sur Bora).
Allez, y'a mieux ailleurs
Nana
Tu sais ils cherchent des receptionnistes à l'interconti, les logements sont mieux. moi je bosse au pearl beach (resp boutique) l'ambiance est super les logements aussi mais difficile d'entrer sans être local.le bblr cherche aussi en recep je crois.tu peux aussi tafer sur le tia moana.faut pas hésiter à aller voir ailleurs, surtout à cette époque.fait de grosses bises à Hiro de ma part .
Ron.

Salut Ronic29
Merci pour l'info mais j'ai quitté le St Regis et Bora (sans regrets!!) et je suis retournée sur Moorea.
Je bosse dans un petit hotel mais l'ambiance est pas vraiment top donc je vais voir si je peux rentrer à l'interconti de Moorea qui recrute me semble t-il, j'attens la réponse du SEFI suite à ma candidature sur des postes. Impossible de passer le bonjour à Hiro, mais ce prénom ne me dit rien, il bossait à la réception?
Peut-être est-ce le Japonais qui ne parlait pas français mais je crois qu'il portait un autre nom.
Bora ne me plaisait pas car il n'y a vraiment rien, route défoncée, 2 commerces, la plage à Matira seulement, la population locale pas trop sympa (mais je la comprends, on n'a apporté que des touristes et pas d'avantages aux locaux qui n'ont même plus vraiment de plage ou d'endroit sans hôtel) et j'ai été traumatisée par l'ambiance "secte" du St Regis!!
Moorea c'est beau, nature, les gens sont super gentils (les locaux), à 30 mn de bateau de Papeete pour faire des courses plus approfondies! THE coin de paradis!!
J'espère que tu es bien à ton poste, mais ça a l'air d'être le cas.
Encore mauruuru roa pour le message et nana!
Bonjour a tous,
Je confirme les propos de arianevahiné: n allez surtout pas bosser au St regis!! L ambiance est pourrie, mais surtout vous êtes effectivement traité comme de la merde, sans parler de la DRH depuis 2006 qui est vraiment vraiment déplorable...vous êtes bloqués la bas puisque ils ne vous paient pas le billet de retour si vous voulez partir, bref encore une fois il vaut mieux fuir! Mais sinon la Polynesie c est top! Mais pas le management du St régis! ;-)
Bisous a tous!
Enjoy!

Bonsoir tout le monde !!
Je pars travailler au St Régis à la fin de la semaine en tant que chef de rang.
Vos avis sur l'ambiance, la situation de l'hôtel et la direction me font un peu flipper !!!
Est ce que l'un de vous pourraît m'éclairer sur les difficultés ou embrouilles rencontrées s'il vous plaît ?
Merci à tous !!😎

Bonjour,
Est tu a l hotel st regis en ce moment? ou sinon y a tu travaillé? j ai la possibilité d y bosser en tant que barmaid. L ambiance a peut etre changé depuis 2008! ce serait genial si tu pouvais m eclairer je ne sais pas quoi faire! Et j avoue que le fait qu il n y ait rien a faire sur l ile me fait peur si l ambiance et les conditions de travail sont horrible. La personne qui ma appeler m a dit que c t de la coloc a 3 une chambre chacun et que c etait plus que convenable...

A TOUS :
NE VENEZ JAMAIS TRAVAILLER ICI !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Salaires ridicules Tips ridicules sur le salaire à peine 200€/mois que vous soyez commis ou chef de rang ! Direction à chier, harcèlement constant du directeur pour tirer son coup Aucun matériel pour travailler, obligé de laver les couverts en salle avec juste de l'eau chaude !!
ils promettent de payer le billet d'avion mais au final ils trouvent tjs une bonne raison pour vous le faire payer
Si vous devez venir à Bora, allez au Four Seasons : Là au moins vous aurez une vraie direction qui ne vient pas se mettre des races au resto devant vous toutes les semaines, vous aurez du matériel pour bosser et on ne vous fera pas croire monts et merveilles comme ici !!!!

Tu ne savais pas qu'en Polynésie, il n'est pas coutume de "tipper" ? Seuls les étrangers pas au courant le font peut-être.
Détrompe toi !
Il y a beaucoup de tips mais tout est mis sur la note et c'est ensuite partagé avec tout le staff mais après de rapides calculs il en manque beaucoup qui partent on ne sais trop où !
Exemple : un client a chargé 200$ sur sa carte de crédit pour me tipser, je n'en ai jamai vu la couleur cela fait 2 mois que la direction me fait croire qu'ils y travaillent !
There's no strangers, only friends you haven't met yet...
200 dollars ! Je viens orendre ta place, mais j'exigerai le cash de la part des clients ! mais bon, à mon âge, je n'aurais plus que quelques piécettes, et encore !

Hi everyone,
My name is Deborah, I’m French. I’m married and have two children. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in psychotraumatology, and I’m also pursuing medical studies.
For some time now, I’ve been seriously considering moving to the United States. My long-term goal is to practice medicine in the U.S., with a particular interest in forensic pathology. I know the journey is demanding (USMLE, residency, fellowship, etc.), but I’m ready to commit to several years of hard work.
For now, I’m focused on building this project thoughtfully. I want to improve my English, better understand the American system, and connect with people who’ve already gone through this process or are living in the U.S.
I have a few questions:
- Are there any doctors or international students here who’ve successfully matched into a U.S. residency? - When did you start preparing for the USMLE? - What advice would you give to someone still in medical school? - Which states would you recommend for a future career in forensic pathology, with a good quality of life and good schools for kids? - Is it better to do an observership or a research fellowship before applying for residency? - What are, in your opinion, the pitfalls to avoid when planning such a project?
Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to respond. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi there. I’m planning to move to Luxembourg around December 2025 or January 2026. I’ll be looking for a job and settling in. My question is: is it too complicated to find housing? Is the job market more advantageous and easier than in France? I’m open to any information that could help me.

Hi everyone,
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!
Cheers,

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻
Thanks so much for your help and advice! ☺️

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath.

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol

Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
