The jewel of the South Pacific

A sample Bora Bora itinerary

Before booking: rooms

Layout and sleeping arrangements

Confirm bed configuration, maximum occupancy, connecting-room guarantees and where extra beds are placed. A large floor area does not establish a separate bedroom.

View, privacy and access

Check the named view category, balcony or pool arrangement, nearby shared paths and step-free access. Request the specific information that matters to your party before booking.

What the rate includes

Match breakfast, lounge access, transfers and cancellation terms against the exact room offer. An attractive room name does not guarantee those benefits.
