BEAUTIFUL BORA BORA
At the Four Seasons Resort http://www.fourseasons.com/borabora/guest_rooms_and_suites.htmls_and_suites.html


The Air Tahiti plane landed in Bora Bora at 7 :45 pm.
Upon arrival the Four Seasons Resort met and transferred customers to their “Motu” (Islet) in their luxurious shuttle boat. During the transfer I was fortunate to sit in the very back under the open sky to admire the Milky Way. As we approached the Resort the captain took us right up to the front of the reception area.

As soon as I was able to step out of the boat I was greeted with a “Ia ora na” (Hello Welcome) and the traditional “Hei Tiare Tahiti” (Tiare Tahiti flour lei). After handling formalities at the reception I was then transferred to my Over-water Bungalow with what they call a “Voiturette” (A Golf Cart).

As we rode to the Bungalow I was able to get a nice feel of the hotel. Everything that I was seeing so far was impressive.

OH MY GOD! My Over-water Bungalow was a real jewel!… awesome and beautiful! You would have loved it too. They welcomed me with a fruit basket and special cookies. I toured the entire bungalow and it got me excited about my stay there. Then soon after my luggage were brought up to me.
I called the Voiturette to take me to the Sunset Bar for a relaxing time before dinner at the restaurant followed by a good night sleep.

Early morning…I was up on the deck starting to take pictures and videos of Bora Bora most famous mountain called OTEMANU. This mountain has been for the longest the signature of the Island. It’s been published, used in movies, in commercials etc... I then spent hours soaking into the beauty and Spirit of the Island.
It suddenly felt like home again. It is such a great feeling! What a wonderful thing to be back in the South Pacific Islands!

With that feeling I did not want to leave the comfort of my bungalow so a room service American Breakfast was ordered. Soon after I took a swim in the turquoise lagoon and laid for a while in the sun.








In the afternoon I took a walk around the property checking out the villas and other parts of the resort.

The villas are great for big families and family reunions.















I was very attracted by the beauty of the place, the trees and flours. I couldn’t help to take pictures to share with you.

I visited the chapel. It is very tiny but exceptional. Behind the alter is a magnificent view of the OTEMANU mountain. This is a obviously a memorable place to
get married.







I stopped and visited the gym and the spa. They are both located on the wild part of the Resort where you can see the coral reef.













I found out that the Four Seasons in Bora is a very family oriented Resort. They have put a lot of thought into their place. They have for your children up to the age of 5 a kid’s club and a teen Motu (Islet) for teenagers from the age of 15 to18.

On my way back I went through the pool area and noticed they rented little huts for the day for those who wished to rest, relax away from the sun and take an afternoon nap. At this point of my tour the hut sounded good and looked quite tempting to me.

In the evening a buffet dinner was served at the restaurant and Polynesian dancers performed for all who came.

Quickly I got myself into a daily routine between swimming, sunbathing, eating ect.

The very next day before leaving the Resort for the airport I had my last meal at the Pool Bar…ordered marinated fish and rice…then spent some time around the pool visiting with friends.

It was difficult to leave this dream place but since my stay was a short one and had to come to an end… I embarked the hotel shuttle and headed for the airport.

This trip will always stay memorable and dear to me. I truly hope one day you will also have the chance to visit the beautiful island of Bora Bora to capture the magic that I and others before me have found there.
