Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora

The resort is beautiful, with great amenities and friendly staff. We stayed for two nights and had some memorable experiences. We especially enjoyed the shell necklace-making session—it was fun, well-guided, and made for a great souvenir. The canoe breakfast was another highlight. The staff were lovely and took me out for a peaceful kayak ride before serving a delicious meal. That said, a few issues affected our overall stay: 1. Wristband Access Issue: Since we booked two nights separately, we refreshed our wristbands the next morning. They worked at first but stopped functioning after lunch, just before my 4 p.m. photo shoot. We called the front desk but waited about 10 minutes. Thankfully, a passing security guard helped us get in. Housekeeping brought new bands later, but the delay was stressful. 2. Leftover Wine in the Room: I saw a Four Seasons bottle, assumed it was water, and drank it with my medication—only to realize it was leftover wine from a previous guest. Housekeeping apologized, but it was unsettling and should have been caught during cleaning. 3. Food Safety Concern: After the Thursday Polynesian Night, my husband developed severe diarrhea that lasted nearly a week and required a doctor visit. We suspect the food was the cause.

Paradise perfected. It comes at a price, naturally, but no surprises or disappointments. A pain to get there and I’m not a fan of humidity, but would return for a special occasion. Any special occasion.

The money was not worth the services provided. The villas are outdated, bathrooms and rooms are not well kept. Showers and bathrooms are too dark/black and not well cleaned. Buggy service was limited, the food was not good and limited restaurants. Same breakfast daily without any changes, dinner and lunch was not tasty and mostly salty. Place looks nicer in pictures than reality. Villas need remodeling. It was a waste of money and my family’s 7 days at the resort. Sinks were not well cleaned, towels were cream instead of white, sometimes the phones did not work.

Everything was perfect

The landscape is very nice Vietnamese food is excellent Staffs are friendly

The buggy is not enough for customers I have always waited too long

Pros: beautiful grounds, attentive and kind staff, engaging Polynesian dance show, good breakfast buffet, impeccable Arii Moana restaurant experience, quality of over-water bungalows and beds, quick room service, and the tour operators who come for excursions are amazing. Cons: we experienced oversights during our stay that are unacceptable at the prices being charged, including a botched double booking for sailing before arrival, waiting 27 minutes to get even water to drink at our first night's dinner reservation at Vaimiti, a spa day that was not as we ordered it (we ordered pareo massage that was clearly advertised as part of the ritual, and were told it was not possible, and instead of received very abbreviated swedish massage that was meh), and a mistake in allowing reservations for the Polynesian dance show to be made too late in the evening that resulted in having to run the mile from my bungalow with wet hair and no makeup in order to make the show. I also was not hungry yet because I was expecting to have dinner much later, and was charged $150 for the buffet regardless. My husband is not a picky eater and said the buffet was terrible, with 2 of the savory options being so salty as to be inedible. The buffet offerings looked limited and sad, very inferior to their breakfast buffet. Overall, we would have been equally happy elsewhere for half the price and did not find the execution to meet a high enough standard to justify the cost.

Excellent resort. Excellent in every way, and oh so beautiful.

Service could be better it was a bit slow service

Beautiful and well kept grounds! Very friendly and helpful staff!

In true Four Seasons fashion, the property and grounds at the resort are gorgeous! Great location too with the beach and bungalows situated by Bora Bora’s breathtaking blue lagoons. Four Seasons offers lots of water activities like snorkeling, kayaking, jet skiing, paddle boarding etc. The resort also hosts different activities throughout the week such as crown making class and traditional Polynesian themed nights (with fire and dance shows). You’re able to get a true immersive experience here! The only area for improvement I can think of is that the overwater bungalows felt dated. You could argue they’re designed to represent the Polynesia charm, but they felt less luxurious to me.
