Pros: Beautiful lagoon, beautiful island, great restaurants, friendly people Cons: It takes me over 24 hours of traveling to get there
Bora Bora, just the name sounds tropical. When I hear the words, I think of tropical drums, warm breezes, beautiful scenery and the bluest warmest lagoon. Located 45 minutes by plane from the main island of Tahiti, Bora Bora should be on everyone?s...
Pros: unmatched beauty, deep blue water and the people Cons: can be pricey

James A. Michener may very well have been correct when he wrote that Bora Bora is the world's most beautiful island. Tall mountains are surrounded by spectacular lagoons which in turn are...
Pros: Gorgeous island! Great lagoon Cons: Tourist influence
I visited the South Pacific in March/April of 2000 and have been writing reviews about the various islands and my cruise. For more information, check my profile for my other reviews:

Pros: great island in FP, but not my favorite... Moorea and Rangiroa much better... Cons: touristy (for FP), expensive
This is a rather long, but comprehensive, travelogue of my wife’s and my trip to the South Pacific in the summer of 2004. We spent 3 weeks on 7 islands (Bora Bora, Moorea, Rangiroa, Aitutaki, Rarotonga, and Fiji). The review for each set of islands are ...
Ever since I posted my review of the Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort, I've received a fairly steady stream of e-mails from folks requesting additional information.- which I'm more than happy to provide. However, since quite often the requests have been ...
Pros: Truly a paradise to be savored Cons: PRICE, PRICE and PRICE
Our trip to Bora Bora was last October, 2002. My wife and I have traveled to many islands in the south pacific but I must say Bora Bora is on our short list. The very moment you see the island from the air you are totally awe struck!
As I was planning for my honeymoon in November 2001, I came across Tahiti, the option I have never considered before!!
It was rated #1 for most secluded/romantic destinations for honeymooners.
Pros: Incredible beauty, Great swimming, Warm warm water Cons: Cost
In March of 2000 my wife and I had the great pleasure of visiting the island of Bora Bora in French Polynesia. Before we left I had spent over a year investigating and deciding where to stay and what to do. I had read guidebooks. I had seen hundreds of ...
Pros: All-inclusive foods, drinks, sports, entertainment ... best value for your money on Bora Bora. Cons: 2 to 3-star quality for rooms and amenities. 9 a.m. check out time.
... We stayed at Club Med, Bora Bora in September 2003. We recommend travelers to fly between Papeete and Bora Bora during the day to enjoy the breathtaking view of Bora Bora from above. The various ocean depths gives Bora Bora’s water incredible ...
Ok, Bora Bora is quite frankly the most beautiful place that I have ever been to. Pristine waters, warm weather (but not humid!), white sand beaches, tropical landscapes...the place is heaven on earth.
We stayed at the Le Meridien resort for 5 nights. We were truly disappointed with Bora Bora. Everybody writes how beautiful the island is so on and so forth, but we found it to be littered with garbage, too commercialized, and too populated. Had gone...
Pros: Absolutely idyllic ! Cons: Someday you have to go home !
When planning a visit to the South Pacific I knew that I had to go to Bora Bora, but chose to go to Moorea first on the presumption that this would be an ideal "warm up" before the main event. However, having been very impressed with Moorea I actually...
Pros: private launch to hotel; new spacious rooms; spectacular views and excellent dive shop Cons: we had to leave eventually

OVERVIEW
I recently returned from a wondrous trip to French Polynesia, and this is the first of a series of reviews about traveling in French Polynesia. We visited four islands in French...
Pros: Very nice resort Cons: few minor additions missing
Spent 2 nights at the Bora Bora Eden Beach Resort right before New Years. I must say that I loved it but would not stay there longer as there is nothing else to do except watersports. I paid $112 and that was a considerable discount since my rate minus...
Pros: ALMOST EVERYTHING Cons: getting up so early to depart for Papeete
My husband and I visited Bora Bora in March 2000. We had visited Moorea in February of '97 and '98. This trip we wanted to include Bora Bora, to check to see if it was as terrific as we'd read and heard.
First, let's preface this saying we are...
