I've made a point to read the negative and neutral reviews before writing this- and they're pretty ridiculous. If you're like me, you probably flew half way around the world expecting something lovely and quiet, and this hotel was that precisely. We were met promptly by staff at the airport, wisked off to the hotel with champagne and nibbles on... more

Our family has been staying at Hotel Bora Bora for most years over a 20 year period. I've also stayed and/or visited other places on the island but none compares with HBB's staff nor location - the beaches are the best. We always stayed at the bungalows on the beach. Unfortunately (or some say fortunately), the HBB is now closed,... more

We went here for our Honeymoon in May 2008. I usually prefer more updated hotels, but after reading the reviews, it looked like this is the place to be if you want to see the fish and all of the scenery. Some of the other hotels had really nice reviews as well, but it seemed they were reviewed primarily on... more

We visited French Polynesia May 2008. We went to Tikehau, Moorea, & Bora Bora. Bora Bora was our last & final stop to our dream vacation & WOW what an amazing way to end it. We were fortunate to experience Hotel Bora Bora before its upcoming renovation. This place is truly special! The magic started when we arrived. We were... more

We stayed for 4 nights at the Hotel Bora Bora where the staff were so divine that our stay there became a magical experience. The hotel staff were relaxed and friendly. At dinner our Polynesian waiter, in Polynesian traditional dress, told us a story from the history of the islands, and not in an in your face way, rather in... more

This was our second time to Bora Bora, but our first time at Hotel Bora Bora. We had heard many wonderful things about Hotel Bora Bora, and were fortunate to experience this hotel before its upcoming renovation. The magic started when we arrived. The hotel manager greeted us at the dock with 2 glasses of champagne and chatted casually with... more

Doing research for our once-in-a-lifetime (re: EXPENSIVE) honeymoon, I was torn between two properties - the original Hotel Bora Bora with the excellent service and another brand name property that was slightly bigger and had newer facilities and bungalows. What really drew me to HBB was the fact that all the reviewers gave it such a high rating, despite the... more

We feel fortunate to have experienced a stay at Hotel Bora Bora before it closes for its remodel in October 2008. As previous reviewers have noted, it may not have all the trappings of the St Regis or Thallaso, but it has everything we desired. We were looking for a family vacation that provided an escape from our hectic lives... more

My husband and I had booked five days at Hotel Bora Bora before a Paul Gauguin cruise. After one day at the hotel, we wished we had booked the entire vacation at the HBB. This was the most beautiful/natural place I've ever stayed. I've traveled the world and stayed at many 5 * hotels, but the HBB has a kind... more
