Le Bora Bora By Pearl Resorts

A beautiful hotel – we had a fantastic time. Absolutely dreamy. Everything was perfect, nothing was lacking. I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

We only stayed for three nights, not nearly enough. We found the staff to be welcoming, friendly, and attentive to our needs. Our over the water bungalow was wonderful, exactly as advertised. I couldn't get enough of relaxing on the beanbag on the hammock. Overall the experience was exceptioinal. We will definitely be back for a longer stay.

While rooms are nice, the place has far too many over the water bungalows which ruins the experience. Also I am very surprised this is a Relais & Chateaux property as food and beverage was far below expectations (we had our worst dinner in years in Otomanu restaurant)

Le Bora Bora went above and beyond my expectations. The staff were so welcoming and helpful! Loved the daily culture activities!

This trip was booked by Pacific for Less with our stay split between the islands of Taha'a and Bora Bora. When we arrived at the Bora Bora airport, we were greeted by a friendly staff member who took our luggage and guided us to our awaiting boat that took us to Le Bora Bora. The boat was very comfortable and relaxing (they played music, which was so nice). Upon arrival at the resort, we were greeted by staff, where we proceeded to check in. We were offered a complimentary drink and relaxed in comfortable seats during the check-in process. We were eventually escorted to our Otemanu overwater bungalow (side note, because our bungalow was near the end of the OWBs, the walk was pretty far - and they don't have bikes FYI, but it was not a big deal for us). Upon arrival, the AC was not working, and they did not set up our room for 3 people (they only set it up for 2 people). My travel agent reached out to the hotel, which sent someone out and was able to remedy the situation -- however, it was a situation that probably should have been checked before we arrived. Otherwise, the bungalow was nice, but it was the views of the water and of Mt Otemanu that blew us away. The water was shallow (up to my chest) and very clear. We snorkeled and swam with many fish, stingrays, and reef sharks (which are friendly and were more scared of us)! We swam to the coral gardens, which were pretty neat as we saw many fish. The sunrise was also gorgeous, and the weather was pretty great! We had a day of rough rain and wind, but that's the mountains for you! You can always find ways to make the best of rain! We ran into another hiccup the next day as our excursion was double-booked by the concierge team, so they booked the same excursion on two days unbeknownst to me so I had to converse back and forth with them until eventually having my travel agency get in touch with the concierge to sort out the confusion. The issue was eventually resolved, but it was a stressor in the early morning that I was not prepared for. The Polynesian evening was very special and held indoors due to the rain, but it was incredible to see the dancers up close and hear the beautiful music played by the staff. The food was wonderful, and the landscaping was gorgeous. Be sure to check out their amazing gardens--I've never seen anything like it. They have a HUGE door that leads to more gardens and replica dinosaur fossils. I felt like I was in a prehistoric world. Also, as a plus, they offer day rooms that you can book (I paid $100 USD) for when you check out and your boat/flight isn't until later. This allows you to have a basic room with a shower where you can relax until your transportation arrives! You can always ask for a late check out, but they will likely charge a half or full day's rate. Either way, the options are great. Overall, the experience was great and the views were gorgeous!
