MAP of Bora Bora MAP of Moorea
-The Great: Service, Bungalows, Food, Beach, Spa, Activities -The Not So Good: Snorkeling (poor), Not located in the clearest part of the lagoon, Shore access, Lack of Polynesian "feel". -Our Opinion: A beautiful resort reflecting the quality the Four Seasons is famous for. St Regis Bora Bora - Grandest hotel in Bora Bora. The best when money is no object. Now a Hollywood favorite.  -The Great: Service, Bungalows (huge), Food, Beach, Spa, Activities-The Not So Good: Snorkeling (none), Not located in the clearest part of the lagoon, Shore access, Lack of Polynesian "feel". -Our Opinion: One of the best hotel in the South Pacific. Top quality throughout. But large, very large. InterContinental Resort and Thalasso-Spa Bora Bora - Second newest and grandest. Contemporary decor and gorgeous bungalows. A very "cool" resort. Shares the same area of the Lagoon as Meridien and St Regis. -The Great: Bungalows, Decor, View, Restaurants, Spa -The Nice: Food, Service, Shore access to Bora Bora at Pointe Matira -The Not So Good: Snorkeling (none), Beach, Not in the clearest part of the lagoon, Lack of Polynesian "feel". -Our Opinion: Beautiful hotel, great view. Not as polished (or expensive) as St Regis, but a superb resort. We recommend you book the "Sapphire" or "Diamond" Bungalows to take advantage of the view. Bora Bora Hilton Nui Resort and Spa - On the backside of an island in the lagoon, facing the ocean (no view of the lagoon or Bora Bora). A large resort with good amenities. -The Good: Bungalow size and decor, Restaurant, Amenities -The OK: Food, Service, Access to Bora Bora -The Not So Good: Lack of intimacy/romance, Snorkeling (poor), No view of Bora Bora Lagoon or Mountain. -Our Opinion: The lack of views of Bora Bora is disappointing. In the same category of resort we feel the new Intercon Thalasso is more upscale and a better value. Le Meridien - Recently renovated, a nice resort -The Good: View, Restaurant, Beach, Service, Beach Bungalows, Private Lagoonarium -The OK: Bungalows size -The Not So Good: Snorkeling (poor), Access to Bora Bora -Our Opinion: Still a nice resort with great views and good amenities. But the bungalows are a little small compared to the newer hotels. The glass floor is impressive, though... Sofitel Motu Resort (now part of the Sofitel Beach Resort) - Still the best boutique resort in Bora Bora, secluded and intimate. Only 30 bungalows -The Great: Snorkeling , View, Location, Lagoon - the best in BB. Also, privacy, easy access to shore. -The Nice: Traditional Polynesian decor, Service, Food -The OK: Bungalow decor a little dated but spacious 
-Our Opinion: One of our favorites with its superb location, view and snorkeling. The personalized service is good, and the use of the amenities of the new Sofitel Beach Resort is a plus. Always a good value. Pearl Beach Resort - Very good upper mid-range resort on a motu with all the amenities and an excellent choice of well priced bungalows. Not too large. -The Good: View, Bungalows, Restaurant, Pool and Beach -The OK: Food, Service, Shore access to Bora Bora -The Not So Good: Snorkeling. -Our Opinion: Rarely disappointing, very good all around, an excellent value. Bora Bora Lagoon Resort - An older resort in a good location across the lagoon. -The Good: View, Restaurant, Pool and Beach, Snorkeling, Shore access to Bora Bora -The OK: Food, Service, Bungalows -The Not So Good: Plush Decor but may feel a little dated, Bungalow decks are on the small side. -Our Opinion:A good resort with a superb view of the lagoon and Bora Bora. Sofitel Bora Bora Resort - On the main island - A very good mid-range resort that is now 2 years old. -The Good: Beach, Restaurant, Pool, Bungalows -The OK: Food, Service, snorkeling, view -The Not So Good: Nothing so far.. -Our Opinion: A very good mid-priced resort with a nice beach and spiffy new bungalows. Intercontinental Le Moana Resort - On the main island, a mid-size resort with an intimate Polynesian feel. -The Good: Food, Service, View (depending on bungalow location), Snorkeling, Convenient to main tourist area of Bora Bora -The OK: Bungalows -The Not So Good: Small beach in busier area of Bora Bora. . -Our Opinion: A good resort, but too little privacy or sense of seclusion. Too many homes and hotels nearby. 
Le Maitai Polynesia - On the same beach between the Intercon and the Sofitel -The Good: Price -The OK: Food, Service, Snorkeling, View, Bungalows -The Not So Good: Narrow beach, A road runs between between the main part of the hotel and the beach. Traffic can be heard in beach bungalows and some overwater. Spotty service. -Our Opinion: A fair budget hotel - offers the least expensive overwater bungalows in Bora Bora.
