Bora Bora hotels

We had a wonderful time 8 days total. First time here in Bora Bora and it was very restful. Water is warm and clean and the beach is just marvelous. The staff are all nice.

We spent five awesome days here (June 2017) and regretted leaving. Elle and Ari took great personal care of us, and we parted as friends not customers. We got an amazing feel of "authentic Tahitian life" that hotels only hint at. Blue Heaven Island is a small owner-operated set of five bungalows on a real "motu" (reef island) with a breezy covered outdoor dining area, a dock for waterside breakfast and lunch, swimming and snorkeling off the dock that beats many other added-cost hotel excursions, and sunrise and sunset viewing from the dock that will fill your camera - and Elle plays guitar and sings while you click away. You eat with the Elle and Ari family style - all the options are on the table before you, but they ask for your meal suggestions early on. Meals are fixed-price and you pay cash at the end of the stay. No paperwork - they just note in a book how many meals you ate. Bring your own booze, or trade favors with staff. My wife ate like a bird so they lowered her meal charges to the children's rate, without me asking for it. Bring cash equal to $100 a day per adult and you'll have some left at the end. No air conditioning but fans and open windows were adequate for cool sleeping at night - under mosquito netting. Days there are a few mosquitoes, so bring repellant. They use solar-generated electricity and solar-heated hot water so don't waste any. Wifi access is intermittent - so disconnect, chill, and smile. You'll never be this relaxed again.
