Great video! We love Bora Bora and are fortunate to go there often, our happy place! We stayed at Four Seasons for 7 nights a little over a year ago (also during Spring Break) at a Mountain View OWB on the West wing (#211) and loved it! We had been there a few times before on previous trips, but just for the day with Day Passes. We usually go to Bora Bora for two weeks (14-15 nights), so for that length of time our resort of choice has been Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts, where the two weeks in an OWB cost about the same as one week at FS. Enjoyed seeing Roberto from Lagoon Service serving you lunch. We always do their Full Day and have gotten him twice.

@SpaandTell20 күн бұрын
Bora bora actually doesn’t have much in my opinion to explore. It’s very small with only the center island…very little town scene and the resorts are all separated on the reef…it’s definitely a relaxing not do much trip. Hawaii on the other hand offers a lot more to do. I’m very Hawaii partial though…the food is better, the temperature is cooler. Don’t get me wrong I love that I experienced bora bora but it’s not somewhere I have a huge desire to return to

I thought you were very transparent and I could truly appreciate that. I love the fact that you mentioned your mommy makeover so that other women could feel okay about their bodies as well. That being said looks like I need to go and take a trip to Bora Bora as I like to pre vet all of my destinations before I sell them to my clients. It looks as though the St. Regis property fell short in comparison to the Four Seasons.

We went to Bora Bora Four Seasons Feb 2022. We thought everything were superb, except the food was overpriced, boring and not great. We did go take the boat to Bora Bora island on the last night and had amazing French food there. Wish there were better food options at the Four Seasons. I heard they used to have great chefs, but they all left. :(
@SpaandTell10 ай бұрын
I'm glad I'm not the only person thinking the food is mediocre and overpriced. I didn't realize all the good chefs left. One thing that I thought plagues them is they don't have a deep culinary staff environment. For instance, one of the reasons Napa has such exceptional food is because all these kitchen workers and sous chefs stay in the industry from kitchen to kitchen, with amazing chefs constantly improving as they grow. In Bora Bora, I felt like even if they had the best chef, i don't know how they could truly execute with such a small pool to draw from. Perfect example, I could tell that every shrimp I ate there had been blanch hours, maybe a day before I had and then plated and refreshed. The only reason I think they are staging food prep in this manner (which is not acceptable to me) is that they don't have enough staff to execute basic concepts well. I think the shrimp thing bothered me the most because Im in the middle of the Pacific. If I can't even get a shrimp wrap with juicy fresh shrimp, what is happening? This should be top in their wheelhouse. I will tell you after we were here, we went to the St Regis, where the food is a little better, but not Napa or Hawaii executed. Nothing extra special. But it is so much more money, doesnt even make sense, so Four Seasons is better than St Regis for me, and i prefer the four seasons property so much more.

Okay... I realize no one can do anything about it, but just because the room cost is comparable to other luxury resorts doesn't mean the room isn't over priced. Yes, THE ROOM IS OVERPRICED. The luxury resorts charge those prices simply because they can. There is nothing, absolutely nothing that justifies the room cost. I don't begrudge anyone from making a profit and charging fairly for their services, but the cost of staying at those resorts are what they are because of greed, greed, and more greed. $800 - $1,000 per night would still provide a good profit without being overly prohibitive. I certainly wasn't suggesting that the room should be $150 bucks. Of course, you have to pay the staff, maintenance, upkeep, etc. Yes, it's expensive, but the ridiculous cost of staying in a Pacific Island resort is beyond outrageous.
@SpaandTell10 ай бұрын
Although I agree the prices are steep one thing to remember us everything is 30% more expensive in Tahiti due to the tax. Second these resorts don’t have many bungalows to spread the maintenance cost across. So although I agree it’s high I’m not sure there is as much profit as you might think. I honestly have no idea because I don’t see their accounting books and what it’s costs to do high end in the middle of no where. All I’m suggesting is that although the fees are outrageous it might be what it costs, but again I don’t know their margins
@briansilva416510 ай бұрын
The room is priced in line with the four seasons brand. Four seasons always charges more for the room because they also include the extra hospitality services. There are some air b&b rooms nearby that you can rent out from the locals for like $200 / night. So bora bora doesn’t have to be expensive but I guess the point of going there is to stay on the over water bungalows. Lol. I’m used to staying in huge penthouse suites in Vegas for about $300-400 a night so if the room is the most important you should try Vegas. Vegas and Dubai you get your moneys worth.

Haha I think I’m picking up on some sarcasm 😂 obviously there are different ways to enjoy bora bora. Staying at the four seasons is one of the most expensive ways to visit. Everything in bora bora even on the center island is more costly due to remoteness plus the 30% tax everything is assessed with when it arrives in Tahiti. I’ve seen Airbnb type rentals on the center island but there are not many bc Tahiti has odd buying rules. You have to live on the island for nearly 10 years before you can buy. So there aren’t a lot of housing and that housing is mostly for people who live FT

Nice video. Maybe just a touch too long.

sometimes, I find it hard to leave out so much of what I experience when I travel. I film a couple hours nearly every day while I'm traveling, so when I sit down to create my videos, I can have 15 hours or more of footage that I try to get under 30 minutes. Now I'm striving for 8-10 minute videos. I know everyone loves short format, but getting 15 hrs cut into 8 minutes is a crazy challenge, and I spend 40+ hours making a single video like this Bora Bora video. Thank you for watching and for your feedback

I love this video! So much useful information! Thank you so much! Id love to go to bora bora with my partner. Hopefully it’s lgbt friendly.

Actually I feel like it’s very LGBT friendly bc in Tahiti there is a third gender. And on property they have this third gender. At first if you are unfamiliar especially coming from the states you might encounter someone who might seem male in size but dresses feminine and dresses female esq. at four seasons I believe there were at least three people I saw that I thought were this third gender. My point with this explanation is that my experience there is that they are very LGBT friendly and we saw other sane sex couples there as guests. I hope this helps because it was an incredible experience
