Resorts in Bora Bora

The Four Seasons - Open since Sept. 2008. Similar view and lagoon condition as the St Regis.
-The Great: The Opening Rates (ask us about it!) , the Bungalows, View, Family friendly
-Our Opinion: By all accounts great resort - reflecting the quality the Four Seasons is famous for..

St Regis Bora Bora - Grandest hotel in Bora Bora. The best when money is no object.
-The Great: Service, Bungalows (huge), Food, Beach, Spa, Activities
-The Not So Good: Snorkeling (none), Not located in the clearest part of the lagoon, Shore access, Lack of Polynesian "feel". Regular Overwater Villas don't have a view of the lagoon/mountain and can be windy. You have to go to a Deluxe OW Villa for best view/location
-Our Opinion: One of the best hotel in the South Pacific. Top quality throughout.

InterContinental Resort and Thalasso-Spa Bora Bora - Contemporary decor and gorgeous bungalows. A very "cool" resort. Shares the same area of the Lagoon as Meridien and St Regis.
-The Great: Bungalows, Decor, View, Restaurants, Spa
-The Nice: Food, Service, Shore access to Bora Bora at Pointe Matira
-The Not So Good: Snorkeling (none), Beach, Not in the clearest part of the lagoon, Lack of Polynesian "feel".
-Our Opinion: Beautiful hotel, great view. Not as polished (or expensive) as St Regis, but a superb resort. We recommend you book the "Sapphire" or "Diamond" Bungalows to take advantage of the view.

Bora Bora Hilton Resort and Spa - On it's own island, facing the ocean (NOT the lagoon or Bora Bora)

-The Good: Bungalow size and decor, Restaurant, Amenities
-The OK: Food, Service, Access to Bora Bora

-The Good: View, Restaurant, Beach, Service, Beach Bungalows, Private Lagoonarium
-The OK: Bungalows decor and large floor glass
-The Not So Good: Snorkeling (poor), Bungalow size, Access to Bora Bora
-Our Opinion: Great views and good amenities. But the bungalows are on the small side compared to the newer hotels. The glass floor is impressive, though...

Sofitel Motu Resort - Still the best boutique resort in Bora Bora, secluded and intimate. Only 30 bungalows
-The Great: Snorkeling , View, Location, Lagoon - the best in BB. Also, privacy, easy access to shore.
-The Nice: Traditional Polynesian decor, Service, Food.

-The OK: Bungalows
-The Not So Good: Small beach in crowded area of Bora Bora, Maybe a little overpriced.

Le Maitai Polynesia - On the same beach between the Intercon and the Sofitel
-The Good: Price
-The OK: Food, Service, Snorkeling, View, Bungalows
-The Not So Good: Narrow beach, A road runs between between the main part of the hotel and the beach. Traffic can be heard in beach bungalows and some overwater. Spotty service.
