Poised on Motu Tevairoa, only a ten-minute boat ride from the airport and fifteen minutes across the lagoon from the village of Vaitape, Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts combines heavenly location and proximity to the mainland. The resort boasts authentic Polynesian style and architecture and certainly offers some of the most traditionally designed rooms and villas in Bora Bora. While overwater bungalows are Bora Bora’s iconic accommodation type, the resort also features spacious Garden and Beach Villas with Pool. The 107 bungalows and villas are nestled in a beautiful tropical garden, on the beach and of course above the turquoise lagoon.

This place is amazing! The location is perfect with beautiful views of Otemanu and the channel. The service is impeccable and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Our over the water bungalow was beautiful and so comfortable. We saw small sharks and many rays and fish from our deck. The breakfast buffet was delicious and very complete. We ate in all of the restaurants and they were all excellent though expensive. We booked three tours through the resort and they were all wonderful. The resort takes care of all transport including the water taxi and the land taxi if needed so we never had to wait at all! They also made dinner reservations and arranged water/land taxis for that too. I highly recommend doing excursions and any reservations through the resort as it just makes everything seamless for the traveler. The resort itself is beautiful with a large garden area for walking. The lagoon is fairly shallow - perfect for paddleboarding and kayaking or just walking in the water. It is worth the extra money to get a Otemanu view over the water bungalow. My only suggestion is that the resort offer more vegetarian food options - and possibly offer some more reasonably priced food options in general.

Well, we just came back and stayed in room 327 which is with Otamanu view. The rooms are a dream and it was beyond our expectations. Yes, prices are hefty but the place is amazing. The breakfast at Otamanu is ok but if anything could be improved it would be that. Dinner at the special gastronimic restaurant is highly recommended at it really adds to the whole experience as does the diving with mantas! Unforgettable. Staff is amazing and so is the whole place; immaculate....... The lagoon is fun to snorkel although coral is not in great shape. Having said that the glass in the room to watch the fish swim beneath you is amazing. We will be back one day!

Beautiful hotel. The location is outstanding - wonderful view of the mountain. The beach has white sand and the ocean water next to it is clear and very shallow, even far away from the shore. Excellent snorkeling at the coral garden located between the overwater bungalows, with hundreds and hundreds of fish. While kayaking (free kayaks for the hotel guests), I saw reef sharks and sting rays, a little beyond the limits of the hotel's beach (right hand side, if facing the mountain). I stayed in a garden villa and it was spacious and truly gorgeous both inside and out. Perfect for staying in the shade during the very hot hours of the day. Next time I'll choose the same, I find this way better than the overwater bungalows. The restaurants were ok. If you like fish, as I do, you'll enjoy the food. Else you need to remember that you're here for Bora Bora, and not in continental France :) , so just enjoy the balmy weather. The resort is so large that except for peak hours at breakfast time, or for the evening shows, when they happen, you'll see few guests and you'll find the place very quiet. Also, if you visit the little advertised gardens (located behind the spa+gym area), which I highly recommend you do, you'll feel like you have the place to yourself. The service was excellent throughout and the entire resort is meticulously cleaned and maintained by a very hard working team. Bottom line - I loved the experience and I'll return for sure.
