Novotel Bora Bora Beach Resort

Best deal for families on Bora Bora

Our family stayed at the Novotel on Bora Bora last July(2008). Due to French Polynesia being so expensive we had stayed in pensions on Huahine, Raiatea and Tahaa. Novotel was by far the best deal - and in Bora Bora (where you expect your budget to be blown sky high). The staff were great, food very reasonally priced and the 2 room family set up excellent. After our earlier accommodation (a bathroom door falling off in one pension on Tahaa!) the kids cheered and my husband and I breathed a sign of relief. Nice pool and the beach while narrow, is adequate. The kids enjoyed jumping off the pier and you can rent boats etc at a reasonable price.
The hotel is a 3 star, and the shower wasn't the best in the kids' room but overall we were very comfortable. The rooms are in blocks over the road from the lobby, pool, restaurant and beach, and set in garden surroundings. Although we were near the road we were not troubled by road noise.

Unique Quality: Just a great deal for a family, with kids staying for free and eating free breakfasts with parents and the kids'menu was reasonably priced.

Due to the fun we had on Bora Bora(snorkelling, renting a boat, kayaking, swimming etc) and the reasonable accommodation, Bora Bora is our favourite island in FP.
