This gorgeous island getaway exceeded our expectations! The bungalows, the views, the food, the staff, and the marine life at this resort are astounding. If you are thinking of going to Bora Bora 1) GO! 2) Definitely consider staying at Le Bora Bora. Elizabeth, Nehemia and all of the staff here are extremely accommodating. We felt like we woke up in heaven every day.
At Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resort, I experienced an unforgettable tropical getaway, where luxury meets nature in the heart of Bora Bora. I stayed in a stunning overwater bungalow with panoramic views of the turquoise lagoon. I indulged in world-class dining and explored vibrant coral reefs. Whether I wanted to relax or seek adventure, Le Bora Bora gave me a spectacular and unique experience that I’ll never forget.
enjoyed my recent stay at the Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts. the grounds were spectacular, loved the views from all areas of the resort. really enjoyed the walking path at the back of the resort. so glad that they interduced the live coral under the fish viewing area and hope they add additional corals off the balcony to watch the fish under the stars in the over water hammock at the end of the balcony. service was great and really enjoyed the new Wine bar with its fun style and views! Meals were delicious and offered great variety.
We stayed for 3 nights at Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts at a Garden Villa with Pool, but we can not say that we are looking forward to come back, given the value for the price (around 1000€/night). |Pros: the white sand beach with crystal clear turquoise water and the mountain in the back are breathtaking views for those who want rest and relaxing days, the pool of our villa was very intimate and also the garden, many marine wildlife to admire at night from the pontoon (manta rays, sharks, tuna fish).|Cons: the resort is located on a separated island and you do not have many things to do there (just a short walk through the tropical forest-around 15 min) -they have a ferry shuttle which take you to the main island, but you are advised to take a taxi, rent a bike or a car. Unfortunately, you do not have many things to do neither in the capital city - Vaitape, only a few shops, maximum 2-3 hours should be more than sufficient.|- the cleaning service was of very low quality, even though we put the cleaning sign outside the room when we left in the morning, they would come at around 2-3 PM|- Very few food options for dinner: only the main restaurant and another gourmet restaurant which was under reconstruction, a Sushi bar just for sushi|- The breakfast was mainly the same everyday, very few vegan options (only fruit and salad), need to use the same cutlery for every dish|That being said, it depends on what you are looking for , but I think there are many other resorts to choose from.
Hôtel très bien rénové.||La décoration intérieure des bungalows, des parties communes magnifique.||Un superbe Jardin Vert qui fait penser à "Jurassic Parc".||
Tout était vraiment très très bien, du début à la fin. Un grand merci , aux personnes qui nous ont accueillis je ne donnerai pas de nom pour ne pas faire de jaloux, celles qui nous ont servi au bar comme au restaurant mais aussi toutes les personnes que l'on voit moins , je veux parlé de la maintenance, les femmes de chambre ainsi que les jardiniers. J'ai sûrement dû oublié quelques personnes , et veuillez m'en excuser. A tout le personnels, MERCI d'avoir fait de ce séjour un moment inoubliable pour notre petite famille.
I have stayed twice at Le Bora Bora in the last 16 months and I absolutely love this resort. I booked through Pacific for Less both times, they make sure your vacation is absolutely PERFECT!! . The food is amazing here, the staff are so helpful and they really cater to you. Andrea was the best, she showed us to our OWB which is the most beautiful bungalows and the view of Mt Otemanu is spectacular. It’s great when you leave a resort and you have made lifelong friends. Polynesian night was so much fun, got to try lots of new food, it was fabulous. The spa is amazing, so beautiful. This whole resort is TOP NOTCH!! I can’t wait to go back. The concierge desk is wonderful too. And the pool bar staff, are great to hang out with.
My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had the most unforgettable and amazing experience. The people here are so nice and friendly and really go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. They are truly the nicest people we've been around on vacation. The weather, Activities, the food, and overwater bungalow really brought it home for us. We highly recommend Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts for your vacation or romantic honeymoon!
Un havre de paix au cœur de la perle du Pacifique.
L'hôtel est très bien placé proche aéroport sur un magnifique Motu avec service de navette pour rejoindre l’île principale. L’îlot corallien est splendide, jardin de corail aux multiples poissons colorés. Le personnel est très gentil, disponible et professionnel. Le petit déjeuner était délicieux avec beaucoup de choix. Les lits étaient très confortable: un séjour au top!
Un Spa superbe et relaxant.

I have stayed twice at Le Bora Bora in the last 16 months and I absolutely love this resort. The food is amazing, the staff are so helpful and friendly. They go out of their way to make sure you have an amazing vacation. We love Andrea, she is the BEST, she really took care of us. I truly can’t wait to visit the next time . The bungalows are beautiful and the water is shallow which we love. Polynesian night was so much fun too. Swim up bar is awesome as well. I only have wonderful things to say about this resort. The whole resort is beautiful! Wendy
We visited Le Bora Bora for our 20th. anniversary! The place was absolutely stunning!! The staff was beyond stellar! Special S/O to Rosto and Tama for making us feel like family!!
We travel quite a bit and rarely re-visit certain destinations. Bora Bora is definitely a location we would totally go back to!
Absolutely spectacular accommodation and people.
The water is so inviting and once you get in you will not want to get out. It is so warm, incredibly beautiful and sea liferight outside your room is amazing.
We enjoyed most of our meals by the pool and didn't eat at the restaurants. The food was really delicious.
One thing for the resort to work on. We were on our honeymoon, and i know these resorts cater to a lot of newly-weds. I know its not there responsibility but i didn't once have anything to make it feel slightly special for us... A piece of cake or a glass of champagne. I did hint it to a few of the staff.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Bora Bora by Pearl Resort, and I can confidently say that it was an incredible experience for my family. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and breathtaking views of the crystal-clear turquoise waters and stunning overwater bungalows. The resort itself was luxurious, with spacious accommodations (overwater bungalow)and top-notch amenities. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction, catering to our every need. The activities and facilities offered were perfect for families, providing endless fun and relaxation for both kids and adults alike. We enjoyed snorkeling, kayaking, and indulging in delicious cuisine at the resort's restaurants, and creating unforgettable memories on the pristine breathtaking sand beaches. Our time at Bora Bora by Pearl Resort surpassed all our expectations, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable family vacation in paradise. Five stars all the way!
We had our once in a lifetime experience, celebrating our 25th anniversary @ Le Bora Bora staying @ their OWB. The resort is fully renovated, love everything decor, furnitures, service.. thank you so much .
Wow! What a wonderful time we had at le bora bora! We stayed in a lagoon view overwater bungalow and it was spectacular. Honestly money can buy happiness at this resort. Awe inspiring views everywhere. Staff were so friendly and everyone felt like they were dedicated to making our stay as enjoyable as possible. We highly recommend the snorkel tour. Perhaps the only thing we felt like could use improvement was at the Otemanu restaurant, but there are other places to eat at the resort and overall everything was great. Highly recommend staying here!
Great place. Everything you would imagine. We had an overwater bungalow. It was fantastic. This is our fourth time to French Polynesia. Food was very good. I would highly recommend this property. Definitely deserving of the château relais designation.
Having said that there are a few things that will help manage your expectations for a better time. If I were the general manager here, these are some of the things that I would try to work on.
1. Don’t expect the best service at the restaurants. Some of this might be cultural and I am coming from a North American experience. But in general you only have about a 50% probability of any request being fulfilled. So as long as you are patient, you’ll be fine. Some staff are absolutely great and remember everything.
2. The greetings at restaurants are unusual. Often times there will be several hostesses there. But they seem to be working on anything other than greeting guests. Which one would think is their primary purpose. We have several times come to a restaurant and the person continues to work on some paperwork and doesn’t even make eye contact and tells us that they will get to us when they’re ready. That’s pretty rough. Again, maybe cultural, though we haven’t experienced that at other resorts. In particular, Kelly has been pretty rough at Miki Miki..
3. They do nickel-and-dime a little bit here (which you wouldn’t expect given how expensive the rooms are). It is offputting when they are clearly trying to upsell on bottled water and don’t give an option for tapwater. When you ask for tapwater they sometimes take a long time to bring it, or sometimes don’t bring it at all. It is sometimes easier just to bring your own.
4. The hotel still uses single use plastic bottles for shampoo, etc. I’m sure they’re working on this but in 2024 it stands out a little.
5. The heat and UV is very high so I try and do things first thing outdoors in the morning or closer to sunset. It would be better if the paddle boards and kayaks would be available a little later, as opposed to closing by 5 PM which is over an hour and a half before sunset. I think it should be open a little later. Or not close at all. Maybe there are other reasons that I’m not aware of of why they close earlier.
Don’t come here unless you want to be disappointed in all beach future vacations. It’s freaking beautiful and the food is amazing. Service is sometimes not overly friendly but it’s so gorgeous they could be spitting in my face and I wouldn’t care much.
Struttura meravigliosa. C'è poco da dire perché non mamca nulla e si viene trattati con i guanti bianchi. Brigitte quando arrivate vi accoglie e vi accompagna sino al vostro alloggio (che è bellissimo). Quando andrete in spiaggia troverete il mitico e simpatico Tama. I cocktail del bar in piscina sono ottimi, i ristoranti come detto da altri ospiti sono cari ma da un 5 stelle non ci si può aspettare gun trattamento diverso; la colazione è abbondante, variegata ed eccezionale! Se solo si potesse, non si andrebbe mai via di lì.
Semplicemente un Paradiso! Nient’altro da aggiungere!
Appena atterrata su quest’isola ho respirato tutta la loro cultura, i sorrisi, la musica e in accoglienza che non si può dire di trovare ovunque. Letteralmente un altro mondo.
Realtà assolutamente pulito, personale cordiale e cibo Top! ????
Our experience at Le Bora Bora Pearl was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived at the resort via boat, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality, instantly making us feel at home. The staff at Le Bora Bora went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our stay was flawless, from their inviting smiles to their impeccable service.
Now, let's discuss the overwater bungalow – it was sheer perfection! The awe-inspiring views and peaceful ambiance created an unforgettable experience. Having traveled extensively, including a previous stay in an overwater bungalow in Moorea, I can confidently affirm that this was the most exceptional vacation we've ever had. The meticulous attention to detail and flawless coordination by Pacific for Less truly exceeded our expectations, turning our dream getaway into a reality.
Nous avions une villa jardin avec piscine privée. C'est très reposant et plus intimiste que la chambre sur pilotis. Emplacement idyllique avec lagon protecteur et un service irréprochable
