Port de Vaitape

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!

Beautiful property and very friendly and helpful staff. They knew our names and always welcomed us personally.

Beautiful property especially over water bungalows. The staff were very attentive, helpful, friendly and gracious. Everyone from the breakfast staff to the dinner staff were so nice. The water sports team was so nice, one gentleman who competes in the outrigger team accompanied me on my 1st outrigger ride to show me the ropes. The buffet breakfast and French restaurant were delicious. The pool, water sports, restaurants, reef rebuilds are amazing parts of this resort. I would definitely highly recommend this place and go back but after the construction is complete. There was a lot of construction on the property, which was not mentioned prior on the Expedia website, which was disappointing. You will hear saws, drills and hammers in the distant. Also, construction teams will ride by your over the water bungalows around 8:15- 8:30am, during the day and 4:15-4:30pm. They try to stay a bit further out in distance vs the bungalows. I wished this was disclosed on Expedia’s website.
