“This was our honeymoon trip, and it was completely amazing.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

What can I say, this is the most incredible paradise on earth. This resort made the experience completely enjoyable in every way. Every little detail is taken care of from having a fresh towel ready whenever you need one. It's incredible how the grounds are impeccably taken care of. When you track some sand from the beach onto a walkway, there's someone there to sweep it up right behind you. There's a resident marine biologist that takes you around their private snorkeling lagoon with a huge array of fish and natural coral (Bring bread from breakfast). The food was equally enjoyable with a breakfast buffet including everything you could want and a different fresh fruit juice mix every morning. The restaurants have amazing fresh fish and fruits and succulent desserts. The service staff will help you with anything you need from room service to scheduling activities and arranging trip to the main island. The absolute best part of the resort though is the bungalow. We had a mountain view, which is probably the best view to wake up your day you could have. The only sounds you hear in your room are the waves crashing against the stilts the bungalow sits on. I thoroughly enjoyed swimming and snorkeling off the back deck, although the current is a little strong. Like everyone says, you won't want to leave.

The only sad part is that it's so incredibly expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for. We made it a little cheaper by grabbing some groceries from the only store in Vaitape the first day (Chin Lee's).

Room Tip: Mountain view is definitely worth the extra money. You're already paying a lot for this resort...

“Honeymoon at the Four Seasons in Bora Bora”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

Paradise. Frist class service. Most beautiful lagoon in the world. Amazing food. Wonderful activities. This was our honeymoon as was most of the other couples with a few anniversary celebrations. Not many kids, although there are lots of activities for kids.

“Heaven on Earth!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

Everyone should get to experience this at least once in their lifetime! Truly one of the best vacations my husband and I have ever taken. It is romantic, peaceful and relaxing. Our bungalow was gorgeous with breathtaking views from the bed, the tub, the deck and living. Even though there isn't a ton of stuff to do, we still did not get to do everything we wanted to do. Funny how that happens when you can just sit and marvel at the beauty around you. Most importantly, the service was impeccable - everyone was wonderful! We will definitely go back some day.

Room Tip: If you are concerned about the walk to some of the bungalows, they are very good about taking you to...

“Amazing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

Went here on our honeymoon. Amazing hotel, amazing service. Everything was perfect. Worth every penny. Room over water had its own private deck with table. Service was extraordinary. We did not want to leave. Probably the best hotel experience I have ever had. If you are thinking abuot staying anywhere on Bora Bora only think of the Four Seasons. The food was amazing. They have a private lagoon for snorkling. They pick you up from the airport in a beautiful boat. Everything about our stay there was just amazing. We were speechless the entire time.

“Paradise!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 10, 2012

We would like to thank the Four Seasons Crew for making our honeymoon perfect. After having seen the other resorts on the Island I am very confident to say that The Four Seasons is the best resort on Bora Bora. The Bungalows are wonderful and the whole resort is jaw-dropping. I mean, they even have their own marine biologist to go snorkeling with you in the lagoon (thank you Olivier!). How impressive is that?

But what really made our stay special was the staff! The staff really has hospitality in their blood! We never experienced such attention to detail and such dedication to perfectionism before. Thank you very much for the late check out and the "special suprise" on our last day!

I don't understand the people who complain about the pricing of the food. We loved the food and found the restaurants to actually be good value. For example the mediterranean buffet at only 60$/pp was very good value for a 3 course "all you can eat" dinner, especially when you consider the quality of the food. The deserts were the best we ever had! Don't go for the meal plan that your travel agency will probably be trying to sell you - you might very well overpay.

We will never forget the beauty of the resort and are looking forward to our next stay at a Four Seasons Resort.

Best Regards
DS&AS (Room 306)
