Location: On Bora Bora's main island

“Here's my take: the resort certainly holds its own in a premium market, but offers relative affordability with a range of bungalows right on a stretch of private beach. It's the ideal spot for calm-water swims, with direct lagoon access and quick jaunts to Bora Bora's best snorkeling.”
