Maitai Polynesia Bora Bora

8/10 Good
"Great location with beach and restaurants only steps away. The staff was very helpful and wonderful. The lobby is welcoming but the hotel rooms could use some updating. Be mindful that some of the rooms ( not bungalows) require uphill walking and steps. Little too pricey but that's Bora Bora."

Le Taha'a by Pearl Resorts

10/10 Excellent
"This was the highlight of our bucket-list trip to French Polynesia: three nights in paradise; and it delivered. We aren't accustomed to such a high end experience, so this was an unforgettable and amazing time. The resort grounds and buildings are immaculate, beautifull, and very well-maintained; despite it being the high season, the large footprint of the resort makes for a very tranquil and private stay. The sunset bungalow was spacious and luxurious; and we saw a large variety of fish, including a lemon shark, right from the walkway to our room. There was easy access to kayaks and paddleboards, although they are located on a windy point that makes entry slightly challenging for older guests due to small waves in the lagoon. But the lagoon is clear, warm, and shallow; quite inviting even for a nonbouyant person like myself! We did the drift snorkelling through the coral garden three times and could have done it many more times if we had the time and energy! We also arranged a half day tour of Taha'a (Fenua Safari) thru the concierge; it was very interesting to catch a glimpse of everyday life in this amazing place, and quite interesting to learn about the production of pearls and vanilla. The breakfast buffet was quite generous, so we never needed to stop for lunch. Three days flew by, but it was just enough to have the time of our lives."

"From the moment we arrived at IC Le Moana, the staff were very welcoming, organized, and attentive; our stay was very easy and pleasant from start to finish. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and very much appreciated the thoughtful extras that were provided in our room and at dinner; it was a perfect end to our multi-island adventure. We took advantage of the location to watch the sunrise from our bungalow and the sunset from the public beach across the street. The breakfast buffet was quite generous and frankly permitted us to skip lunches. We only stayed two days, so didn't explore the island beyond the resort; but the location is well-suited for renting a vehicle and exploring. We enjoyed ready access to kayaks and paddleboards; and made the short paddle across the lagoon to the aquarium for snorkeling. But really, just as large a variety of fish can be spotted right from the overwater bungalows, including several rays. The small beach area is sufficient for the property and the lagoon immediately offshore is quite shallow and crystal clear, making it accessible and great fun for children and nonswimmers. I surprised my spouse with the canoe breakfast; they came right on time and brought so much food that it barely fit on the little outdoor table; that was an extravagance to do once for the experience, The buffet dinner and Polynesian dance show were also great fun. It is a beautiful place; wonderful memories!"

"We had a wonderful stay at Royal Bora Bora and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting the island. The location is excellent, making it easy to explore Bora Bora and enjoy everything the island has to offer. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing after a day of adventures. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always available to help with recommendations, transportation, and organizing tours. Their hospitality really made our stay even more enjoyable. One of the best parts of our stay was renting bicycles directly from the hotel. It was a fantastic way to discover the island at our own pace, stopping at beautiful beaches and viewpoints along the way. Royal Bora Bora offers excellent value for money, combining a great location, comfortable rooms, outstanding service, and a relaxed tropical atmosphere. We had an amazing time and would definitely choose this hotel again on our next visit to Bora Bora!"
