Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort & Spa

I took my two Autistic son's (12 and 10) here on their first overseas holiday. It was brilliant, beautiful and perfect for us. Highly recommend. It was so relaxing, fun and utterly joyful.

First & foremost this place is beautiful & everyone is so polite . Rua & Gintonic down at the beach were awesome always so attentive & making sure you’re having a great time. Lidy & Tauatea at the restaurant just superb service & care. Everyone is very caring and making your experience here amazing. Recommend to come and enjoy this beautifully amazing experience.

This was our favourite stay in French Polynesia (Sofitel Morea and le Tahaa were our other places we visited). This hotel was renovated in 2020 and it still felt like everything was brand new. I honestly felt like I was in a dream as soon as I arrived. The whole resort felt magical. The sea was ridiculously blue. The beach was just gorgeous and the sea so warm. The range of restaurants was great. As soon as I arrived I wanted to immediately extend our stay (we were only there 4 nights). Our overwater bungalow was perfectly located (205). Mount Otemanu facing which I think was definitely worth it for the view. We got up at sunrise and did yoga on our decking which was heavenly. The room was amazing with a glass panel at the end of the bed to watch the fish. We played tennis, went paddle boarding. There were kayaks too. Lovely grounds to walk around. A small coral garden which was OK. We saw a shark under our bungalow one day! They had a daily activity at 11am on the beach and an ice cream cart in the afternoon. Yahn Tata and Vanessa in the concierge office were great. There was another lady in there who helped us too when we needed a pharmacy. She liaised with the pharmacy for us spent time getting details of the medication and then arranged for it all to be delivered to our room. Ryan on reception was friendly. I can’t remember anyone else’s name but all the staff were amazing. On our first afternoon we ordered drinks at the beach bar. I chose a cocktail and when it came I drank some of it but didn’t like it. I left it. I didn’t say anything as it wasn’t the staff fault that I didn’t like it and would have just paid the bill. But as soon as the bar staff noticed she knocked it off the bill for us. That is the kind of proactive customer focussed service that makes you feel valued and that the staff are really aiming to give you good experience. The breakfast buffet was our favourite too - so much choice and gorgeous setting. Lovely evening restaurants too. Loved Miki Miki grill. Ate at Poerava which was lovely too. Fab wine bar. Free water all around the resort with free water bottle gift. We booked the lagoonarium tour which was brilliant! We only did a half day as we also had other plans but wish we had done a full day. Take your own towel or sarong and snorkel /mask though. We only had one issue where the shuttle didn’t come at the advertised time which meant we missed part of our excursion we were going on. We had booked the excursion directly with the company. I would recommend getting the concierge to book you a place on a shuttle if you need to be somewhere as there is that small risk. Vanessa tried her best to rectify the situation but it was stressful at the time and a real shame. So they need to ensure their captain comes on every shuttle slot even if they don’t think there is anyone booked. But that didn’t take away from our experience. I know there are more expensive/ luxurious resorts on Bora Bora but I honestly cannot see how they can be any better than le Bora Bora because we thought this was just perfect. I thought Bora Bora would be a once in a lifetime experience for us but having stayed here I know that I have to come back again!

My husband and I stayed at Le Bora Bora for the second half of our Tahiti trip and let me just say that from the moment we arrived it was top tier service. We were first greeted by Mao, (the sunshine of the front desk), she was absolutely terrific throughout our time here! She always stopped by to say Hi and made sure we were doing okay. Ahsan and Raimana were the best porters. Every person that worked here made us feel special. The food at all of the restaurants is excellent. The Polynesian dinner show was great. Our over water bungalow was so so nice, we didn't want to leave the room. The free activities they have are awesome (stand up paddle board, snorkel gear, paddle canoe, tennis and more). The Spa was top notch! Let's just say my husband and I are from Hawaii and this place is more beautiful. Their ocean water is like looking through a glass, sand is white and soft, and clear blue skies for miles. It was so relaxing, we didn't want to leave and we will definitely come back!!

property and rooms are excellent but unfortunately not enough trained staff to serve guest to that same level. The biggest problem being restaurant service, There seems to be an easy fix to this by having a better restaurant manager and better staff training.
