8/10 Good
"Good location to the cruise port and ferry. Short walk to restraint and shopping.
The coffee shop had wonderful coffee and food with awesome service.
If you have car to park not a lot of parking and what is available is designed for very small compact car."
"This hotel is scheduled for renovation as it is long in the tooth having served the area for over 40 years. The bungalows are charming. The staff can't be any nicer and the food was acceptable."
"From arriving at the airport (which is on its own island if you didn’t know) to getting to the resort everyone was super helpful. Our overwater bungalow was perfect. Wonderful AC if we wanted to use it and plenty of amenities. The food at the resort was a little underwhelming and a little expensive. But, even food at restaurants outside of the resort were about the same. Some of the gifts off the resort were cheaper by 10-20 USD. All in all we enjoyed our stay. The staff was so friendly! And almost everyone spoke a little English which was very helpful. We island hopped so this was our last stop. There was a lot of marine life at the makeshift coral they have around the bungalows. We saw eagle and stingrays. And lots of fish. Mauruuru, Bora Bora!"
"The location and setting were very good. There a few things that did not go well.
1. The bathroom light was not able to be turned off, shining light into the bedroom all night.
2. My room was next to the tourism centre and drop off point for the cruise ships’ shuttles therefore was quite noisy at times and made the large balcony not usable..
3. I was also bitten by a dog on a walk. Fortunately the pharmacy and doctor nearby were very helpful.
4. There were dogs and chickens walking freely through the property- some may not like this.
Best part of my stay was the walk to the bar and the view and sunset- beautiful."
"Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts is now our favorite beach resort of all time. We loved our Polynesian-decorated bungalow over the water with a mountain view and numerous reef fish, rays, and blacktip sharks swimming in the water below; the glass table/floor and windows that allowed us to watch the fish below our bungalow; and wide balcony with a table and chairs, lounge chairs, and our own personal ladder that went down into the chest-deep water in the beautiful lagoon. The service and food (especially the breakfast buffet) were excellent, their private beach and pool were uncrowded, my massage at the spa and the gym were high-quality and were located near a beautiful lake with purple flowers rising from lily pads, and we saw many different types of fish while snorkeling in the resort's coral garden. The resort sits on Motu Tevairoa and is only accessible to the main Bora Bora island by boat, but the resort provides free boat rides several times a day. The resort has some evening activities (e.g., an amazing traditional Polynesian cultural dancing show), kayaks, tennis, ping pong, a big chess board, an art gallery, and shops which sell clothes and souvenirs (but not snacks - if you want chips, etc. get those at the airport when you land, or at the grocery store on the main island). We highly recommend this amazing resort and hope to come back someday!"
"Unbelievably beautiful scenery and incredibly helpful friendly staff. But be ready. All of that comes with a price. Everything is expensive there. You literally could buy a new car for the price of staying here for a week."
