Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, though a bit outdated, were spacious and provided the necessary amenities after our long flight. The service was incredibly friendly, but there were a couple of hiccups with missing items after table cleaning. The location was superb, offering breathtaking views of Bora Bora and Mount Otemanu, yet the dining options could be more varied. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The rooms were bright, large, and had glass panels in the floor to watch the fish, providing a unique and relaxing experience. However, the rooms weren't ready upon my early morning arrival, and there was no support for streaming services, which was a letdown. The resort's layout offered great privacy compared to others we saw.
Staying at one of the Brando suites was a great experience. The rooms were modern and comfortable, offering stunning views of the water and mountains, but lacking a kitchen. The service provided by the friendly and accommodating staff was top-notch, ensuring a pleasant stay. The location, while beautiful, could use more shade, situated near mt otemanu. The dining options were somewhat limited, especially during the low season. Despite some minor drawbacks, the overall value for money was satisfactory.
The hotel is situated on a motu about a 10-minute boat ride from the mainland Bora Bora, offering wonderful views of Bora Bora and Mount Otemanu. The rooms have a unique layout with unusual toilet access via the closet, but they provide a convenient space to freshen up after a long flight. The service was top-notch with genuinely caring staff members. Dining options were good overall, though prices were on the higher side. The location, facing the Otemanu Mountain, was fantastic for enjoying the Atoll beauty.
