Bora Bora Hotel Guide. Independent Hotels in Bora Bora, French Polynesia

Upon our arrival we were amazed with the beauty of this tropical paradise. But a little disappointed with the hotel management and the unwillingness to accommodate my situation. Unfortunately, I had broken my toe a few days prior to leaving for my honeymoon. I asked the manager to give us a room closer in to the land, beach, restaurants, etc. (because I was wearing a removable protective boot and supposed to be on crutches, not walking much), but she had already assigned a water bungalow that was the furthest away and the next to the last one on the walkway! She was totally unwilling to reassign a bungalow closer in so that I did not have to walk so much! We are Expedia VIP Gold members and were eligible for an upgrade, but were not accommodated for that, either. This property does NOT like to honor Expedia perks. Although the property was beautiful, the drinks were super expensive and full of ice. When we were served a drink, it was literally about 3 sips and gone, left with a glass totally filled with ice! On one occasion, the bartender totally ignored us when we sat down, so we finally walked away without ordering and watched another couple do the same. This property would do a lot more business if they offered beach and pool service where they come to take lunch and drink orders where people are relaxing. We did visit a nearby property for future purposes and they DID serve food and drinks on the beach. That is something that we like when we are on a tropical vacation.

We stayed in an ocean view room for two nights and had a great time. The view was incredible and the staff outstanding. It is well worth it to get an oceanview room as opposed to a garden view room if you cannot afford an over the water room.

good hotel, very friendly staff, very good place for quiet private holiday, less people, privacy beach rather ok, low water, required to go 500m to swim, staff really very friendly, very good food

Really nice staff and location. It is a pension, and they make you feel like you are part of their family. The beach is right there and you can do snorkeling, kayaking or just relax.
