All around—it was an amazing trip. We picked the Westin over all the other motu-based properties based on the reviews of the food because we’re admittedly picky. The food was wonderful, which is apparently not the norm on Bora Bora. Biggest thing I can recommend is working with the fabulous staff of concierges early and often. They went above and beyond—especially Hinatea (sp?). Regardless of where we were on the island, we knew we could always reach out to them at any time and they could solve any logistical problem we had (mostly because we booked restaurant and a photo session on our own prior to arriving). We were originally set up in a room over the water with great views, but close to the hotel, which meant there was a lot of golf cart traffic that passed by our room throughout the day and into the evening (somewhat noisy). The front desk staff was very understanding and moving us to a more remote bungalow wasn’t a problem at all.

Room 302 should not be marketed as an over water bungalow

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.

This place is truly heaven on earth. The location is arguably one of the best in all of Bora Bora. The only downside is the service and food—both are good, but they don’t quite live up to five-star expectations. That said, the stunning setting more than makes up for it. Especially when compared to the other resorts in Bora Bora, this hotel offers exceptional value and is absolutely worth the money.

Stay in the overwater bungalow with a pool. We got the best mountain views

Great location and great experience in bora bora.

An amazing place definitely would recommend the western in Bora Bora to everyone. Staff was amazing. The overwater bungalows are absolutely amazing. The food was amazing everything about it was amazing. I will definitely be back.

Everything was perfection!

Me and my wife stayed here for 4 days during our honeymoon trip. We had a wonderful time. We got the premium overwater villa with otemanu view. Room was amazing. Hotel facilities were amazing. Breakfast was good. Lunch and dinner did get a bit repetitive but the food was good. Staff are really well trained and attentive. Would definitely come back!

Modern, spacious, luxurious room. Staff at pool bar and other bar not friendly. They seemed understaffed

The property is stunning. The staff is exceptional and it’s just a happy environment. Just don’t order the nachos at the pool. It was the only disappointment. Everything was amazing! Make your reservations today and unplug!

I can’t say enough how wonderful this hotel was as their staff were wonderful! We will be going back!

It was excellent all around!

Beautiful location and hotel.

The service was great, so friendly staff! Cannot recommed the spa enough (ask for Naomi)!

Everything was amazing, friendly service. Views were amazing.

Best stay yet. Bora Bora is gorgeous even when it rains. The Westin and the service we received was top tier. Everyone here was super friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back here one day.

Amazing property and staff!
