The philosophy of Manea Spa incorporates the traditional art of Polynesian massage, taurumi, which creates harmony of body and mind and uses local island ingredients including sandalwood, tiare flower, ylang ylang flower, and monoi (scented oil). Its philosophy is based on the symbiosis of nature and the environment and uses ancient techniques and gestures, many of which were once reserved for Tahitian royalty. Signature treatments are the Avae Tarumi (barefoot body work), Moanarumi (aquatic rejuvenations). and Monoi Ofai (hot stone healing).
Manea Spa products are made exclusively in Tahiti with a formula based on natural properties of regional flowers and plants, such as tiare, vanilla, sandalwood, and coconut.

“BEST VACATION WE HAVE EVER HAD!”
The staff if great. You're met at the airport by an orientation specialists who personally accompanies you on the boat to the hotel where they give you a drink and cold towel, sign you in, give you a tour of the site, show you to your room and answer all your questions. By the end of their quick orientation, your luggage is already in your room. The activity desk will arrange anything you want to do, making all the arrangements for a boat, bus or taxi to take you there and notify them that you're on the way. We wanted to shop for pearls downtown, she told us where to get the best deal and called the manager there to give us personalized treatment. Anything you want to do, they make all the arrangements, all you have to do is show up. Everyone on their staff is friendly and will stop whatever they're doing to answer your questions. The client liason (I think her name is Julia) is fantastic! We really enjoyed the couples massage at their spa. Definately upgrade to the overwater bungalo, it's like having your own personal ocean just steps down from the deck. The water is crystal clear, teaming with tropical fish and the perfect temperature. Downside. When we were there, two of the three restaurants were closed for renovation, but the service at the one left open, was good but a little slow during breakfast. Be prepared, everything in Bora Bora is expensive, but the resort prices are comparable to any upscale resort.
“amazing!”
If you are going out of the hotel for dinner visit la bounty, excelent food and good price! Also the buffet dinner in the hotel was great!
“Pearl Beach Resort, Bora Bora”
This was an outstanding resort in every way. Our room was beautiful, the services provided were all wonderful, the food was excellent and the staff was friendly and helpful. I would recommend this resort highly for anyone planning a trip to Tahiti.
“I hope this is what heaven is like. Truly unbelievable place. This is Paradise.”
Went to Bora Bora after a cruise. Have been to 5 islands on cruise. Bora Bora is the only place to visit in my opinion. After landing at airport was met by representative. We and our bags were picked up and put on the boat for transportation to hotel. Boat ride was quick and beautiful. When reaching resort was taken to reception where we relaxed on a couch. We were given a cool moist towel and a drink of pineapple juice. Check in was easy and very relaxing. We were escorted to our overwater bungalow. We were showed how everything worked and our bags were already in the room. Resort is amazing. Scenery is to die for. Our bungalow was everything we expected and more. Staff was more then polite and helpful in every way possible. They even made reservations for us at Bloody Mary's restaurant. A must see from movie South Pacific. Scuba dive shop is on property and staff was amazing. I was nervous with the dive but dive master was exceptional. Manea Spa is the most amazing spa I have ever seen. Staff was unbelievable. Setting was beautiful, quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Must go for massage if you are at Pearl Resort. You will pay for transportation from airport to hotel and back. My opinion is to somehow add this into the price of the room. Food can be pricey because options are limited. Food was great. Breakfast buffet was delicious. I like a big breakfast and they did not disappoint.
“Beautiful Place in Bora Bora”
This was the perfect honeymoon. We went in low season and had almost perfect weather. We loved our overwater bungalow. Nice layout, clean.They had put tiare flowers in our room and it smelt so good, they gave us complimentary welcome honeymoon champagne on the first night and cake on my birthday. Very nice accomodations and attentive housekeeping, very nice employees all around. Good easy transportation to town vaitape. The activites desk was good and booked us the best jet ski tour that picked us up at the hotel beach, we loved it and highly recommend! We would never stay on the land, beach/garden rooms, and we strongly warn others who plan on going to splurge that bit more and book an overwater room as we could not play mini golf or go to the bar due to the large amount of mosquitos on land! At the bar we went for happy hour one drink 15min and had about 10 bites each. We never had any mosquitos in the overwater bungalow and could eat on the deck at night and keep our windows open for breeze without worry. Doesnt have much of a beach but gorgeous water/view/snorkling.This place is one of the top bora bora has, more reasonable than some of the high priced but much better than the lower end. Best bang for your buck id say. We were so happy and would have done the exact same thing over.
“Amazing!!!”
This hotel and location were simply amazing. The staff was very nice and caring, and the view was breath-taking. The only down side was price of food, but you can be cheap by taking a free boat to the main island and do your own grocery shopping. One of the most amazing experiences I've ever had.
“One of the most memorable experiences of my life!”
We had an excellent experience at the Pearl Beach Resort, the service was really great. We went there for our honeymoon and we were both very happy to stay at such a great place. The rooms were very clean (that was very important for us), they had a very efficient activity desk to handle all of our tours, and the service was really great. We saw a couple of Polynesian shows at the resort, we have not seen other shows but we really enjoyed what we saw. There was a boat that went to the main island every hour from 6am to 11pm, so you could always leave if you wanted to, but truthfully the Motu were the Pearl Beach is located doesn´t make you want to leave (except for the awesome tours). We stayed at a Garden Pool Suite and the Premium Overwater Bungalow. The Garden Pool is cheaper, bigger, and we really enjoyed the Jacuzzi (that was awesome), but if you make it to Bora Bora, you must experience the Overwater Bungalow, the Pearl Beach has gorgeous turquoise water and an awesome view of Otemanu (the top of the mountain) try to convince the front desk to put you in a Bungalow with that view. I wish prices were cheaper; Bora Bora in general is very expensive. I had one of the most memorable experiences of my life there…then again being at Bora Bora helps a lot, but I would definitely go back to the Pearl Beach Resort.
“Best Landscape in Bora Bora”
The hotel is surrounded by the best landscape I've ever seen, mountains, palms, and the blue lagoon that is truely a dream. Probably the only problem I found in the hotel, was a lack in the variety of food, since depending on the hour you cannot order certain things. For example you cannot order a hamburguer at 7:00pm. However I would galdly return again to paradise!
“It was worth it. Bora Bora is a must see!”
We loved the location of the hotel. We loved our bungalow over the water. We had a premium OTW which had amazing views. The water surrounding is to die for and perfect for taking a dip and wading around at your leisure. The beach and garden bungalows looked very nice as well. Although the garden section had more misquitos. It was very easy to make arrangements for tours or dinner pick up reservations through the front desk. The room was very clean, the shower and bath tub were very nice. The only cons were: - saw a single cochroach in the room - would like more menu options at the restaurant Based upon the fact that this hotel was priced much better than other hotels in the area, it was a relatively good value - still expensive as eveything in Bora Bora is.
