 | |  |  | Pearl Beach Resort: Great resort in Bora Bora! | Satisfaction:  |  |  | |  |
We stayed for 6 nights; 2 in a garden bungalo, and 4 in a premium overwater bungalo. I've read a few negative things about the garden bungalo, but we really enjoyed ours! There were things we loved about it (seemed more roomy w/ the private yard, plunge pool, and outdoor shower), but we also loved staying out over the water in the premium bungalo. In the end we were glad we stayed in both, and saved a little money doing so! We also got to check in early because our garden bungalo was ready to go, and the couple beside us had to wait a few hours for their overwater bungalo to be prepared. All the hotel staff were very nice and accomodating. In scheduling a few activites one staff member had not followed through with the reservation, but it's so easy going it didn't matter all that much to us. There is a boat shuttle that goes back and forth between the main island and the resort every hour or so. The boat schedule and connecting bus schedule are not that complicated to figure out.
You give up a little conveniance by staying off the main island, but this resort has the best views of any bar none. If you stay in the premium overwater bungalo #44 you get the PERFECT view of Mt. Otenamu. There is little to no snorkling around the resort, but in turn you can walk around and relax in the water without worrying about stepping on the coral heads. If you are big into snorkeling I'd probably recommend staying at Sofitel, but it's only a short boat ride away even from Pearl Beach.

It's very nice, and conveniant.Website: http://www.pearlbeachresorts.com/

| | | | Sofitel Motu: Exclusive and romantic | Satisfaction: | | | | |
only 36 guestrooms on this prvate island situated within the bora bora lagoon. A launch will pick you up at the airport and take you to the hotel dock where you will be greeted with Tahitiaan songs, flower leis, and cool drinks. This hotel is high end, about $800+ USD a night for an overwater bungelow, but it is private and exclusive. The islands best snorkling can be reached from your bungelow deck. The rooms are beautiful thatched roof with native furniture, mini bar/frig, private deck with table as well as a private sundeck over the turquiose water. Be sure to take the island 4 wheel drive tour (Ask for Joe as he is the best guide), and eat at Bloody Mary's while on the island. Scuba diving is available from the sister hotel omn the beach, and the shark dive is great.
