### The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely incredible. We spent our honeymoon at the Westin this past week and I could not imagine a better experience. From the moment you arrive at the airport, the staff are genuinely happy to help you with anything you need. They ensure that you don’t have to lift a finger during your stay. Our first morning we met with the concierge and booked all of the recommended activities - jet skiing, snorkeling, sailing and a massage. We also toured the on-site turtle hospital which was very cool. Our premium bungalow with a plunge pool was amazing, with a view of the mountain. We had room service brought to the plunge pool as the sun was setting one night. I could not recommend the Westin more highly. "

"Beautiful resort and location. It just opened on March 1, 2026 so it had only been open for a couple of weeks before we arrived. They were still hiring staff so restaurants were only open part time. Staff is wonderful and in a couple of months all should be up and running and fabulous. I would definitely go back"

### Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts

10/10 Excellent

"Le Bora Bora is paradise. Every detail is cared for under the attentive eye of the director, Franc, who is always present. The grounds are immaculate—no stray leaf, perfectly raked sand, and a maintenance team that deserves awards. The food is incredible. Every meal is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, from warm breakfast breads and omelettes to the tuna steak buffet with endless sides—poke, cheeses, yogurts, jams, desserts, and yes, fresh avocado with every meal. The staff is genuinely friendly, always greeting you with a smile and ready to help. Facilities are spotless, with bathrooms and water stations everywhere, offering cold water and fresh juices. Check‑in felt luxurious with scented towels, juice, and a warm welcome. The scenery is breathtaking—not only the crystal lagoons full of fish, but the lush, terraced gardens throughout the resort. Even garden‑view cabanas feel serene and picturesque, with countless peaceful spots to relax. The coral beneath the bungalows was a highlight, attracting triggerfish, needlefish, puffers, parrotfish, stingrays, and our favorite, the colorful Picasso triggerfish. All the staff were wonderful, but special thanks to: Hannaei at breakfast for her sweetness and attention; Lokeni at the pool bar for keeping the energy up; Viana and the concierge/boat team for seamless coordination; Daisy and Desiree at Minki Minki for being a great duo; and Taroararii, who never stops moving and helping."

### InterContinental Resort Tahiti by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"What a gorgeous property, and so close to the airport, without feeling the slightest bit like an “airport hotel.” The place is large and well laid-out, with a wide variety of pool and dining options, each with a totally different vibe. We spent a two-day layover here on the way to New Zealand, and without ever leaving the property, we felt like we had a lovely little Tahitian getaway! The “Lagoonarium” — a mini-lagoon with exotic fishes you could swim with! — was a childhood dream come true! I always wanted to jump into the fish ponds at resorts, and I was able to do that in this gorgeous pool with friendly fishes! They also have a sea turtle rescue program there, which was fascinating and moving. We took a scuba diving trip right from the property a few hours after arriving, and saw many fish, stingrays, eagle rays, a plane wreck and a boat wreck in the crystal-clear waters. What a low-effort way to have a spectacular experience! The food at The Lotus Restaurant was transcendent! Staff were friendly, professional, and attentive. I will recommend this hotel to everyone I know! "
