The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa

Beautiful property and very friendly and helpful staff. They knew our names and always welcomed us personally.

Really beautiful hotel with excellent staff. Rooms are fabulous. Restaurants and bars are excellent. The best snorkeling of our lives in Bora Bora. Reef sharks, stingrays, lots of fish and beautiful coral, colorful giant clams. We took 3 snorkeling excursions and snorkeled twice from the hotel directly. Once from our back porch of our overwater bungalow, and once from their beautiful beach. The excursions take you to the best places for snorkeling, of course. Practical information: Expensive, but so are all the other hotels on the Motu in Bora Bora. You can only get around by boat, fyi. To get to the Westin from the airport, you take a complimentary Westin water taxi. To get to the mainland from Westin, water taxi is required. To get to another hotel on the Motu, water taxi. Get it? Wherever you choose to stay, you need to be prepared to eat all or most of your meals there, etc. If you want to go elsewhere, talk to the concierge to help you arrange it. There is no “water taxi uber” 😂.

Resort and staff exceeded expectations. Only callout was the cost of excursions and lack of shopping options.
