Nunu＇e Homestays

With all my other vacations/trips cancelled in 2020, it was almost a dream too good to be true to actually be able to safely take a trip from Los Angeles to French Polynesia. My expectations were quite high, given the prices in Bora Bora (more than I have ever paid to stay anywhere in all my world travels), and it did not disappoint. First off, I should state this was a solo trip - I believe I may have only seen only 1 other solo traveler the 4 days I was there. That said, several of the staff learned my name the first day which made a big impression and helped me feel a little less alone on my trip. I also take Covid precautions VERY seriously and I found the staff were very good and consistent with mask wearing and cleaning. The property is beautiful and I was overjoyed with my room facing Mt. Otemanu, it is noted the pool was on the smaller side BUT when you have an entire shallow lagoon to enjoy, I didn't really even need a pool. I ate at the restaurant a few times, and enjoyed the food. Prices are to be expected - very high but that is Bora Bora. I am not a big breakfast eater so opted out of the breakfast. I did find if I went to the little market down the road by 8 AM they had a nice assortment of croissants and breads. One croissant and a nespresso I could buy from the front desk made me happy! There appeared to be a local restaurant called Roulette that normally had breakfast but they were closed - I am not sure if that is due to Covid. One big tip - if you have time, definitely book a massage at the sister resort Thalasso. The boat shuttle is then included and you can go to the pool and enjoy the facilities there. The pool and view there are absolutely stunning. I shortchanged myself only giving myself a couple hours, the Spa has a TON of beautiful places to sit and lounge too. In hindsight I wish I had spent the entire day instead of just a few hours. The massage faced down into a glass bottom so you could see fish below!! Lastly, as someone who likes to explore a little and also search for less expensive dining, I liked that the Le Moana was adjacent to a handful of local restaurants and a little market. It does appear that as of late Dec 2020, some of the spots were closed, but I hope for them and future visitors, they will be re-opened soon. Thank you for to the Le Moana for helping make the end of 2020 a very bright spot for me!

We flew to Bora Bora from Papeete, Tahiti and arrived around noon. The flight into Bora Bora was spectacular with views of the other nearby islands Raiatea and Tahaa and then the stunning Mount Otemanu on Bora Bora and the incredible blue water of the lagoon. We took the shuttle boat from the airport to the town of Vaitape and were met there by the hotel shuttle. We arrived at Royal Bora Bora, located on the southeast side of Bora Bora, and checked in. The lobby, bar and restaurant are built with large beams and the Polynesian thatched roof and are located on the beach side. Breakfast and dinner are served in the restaurant overlooking the lagoon and near the pool which you can see from the lobby. Rooms are located across the Circle Island Road which is not busy at all. From this road you can drive around the island and see the nearby motu's where the really expensive luxury hotels are located. There are several buildings in a tropical garden with paths to your building, each one with 6 or 8 units in them. Our ground floor room was large with a king bed, a sofa, a dresser, sliding doors to a small terrace, TV, a small fridge, a kettle and coffee and tea service, and the bathroom had a shower and all the usual amenities. The staff were very nice and spoke English well. We loved our stay at Royal Bora Bora and sitting by the lagoon on our last day and just admiring the beautiful scenery. It was extraordinary.

The place is located in a beautiful and calm spot with matira beach (best in bora bora) just at walking distance. The beach bungalow is amazingly cute and definitely deserve the money compared to a standard room. The coral garden in front of the hotel is beautiful and you can easily encounter some friends in the water :) Only minor complaint is that the wifi connection is terribly bad and works basically only at the reception. But maybe it is a good thing to totally disconnect for a relaxing vacation.

A paradise on earth. The staff of the island ultimate hotel is very kind. There is no comb in the room, remember to take one by yourself. There is a boat to the main island, then take a bus to the city. Come here and enjoy the scenery. Go out less.
