My mini-review of our BORA BORA Honeymoon!! (W/Pics!)

So I figured I’d post a mini-review of our Tahiti/Bora Bora honeymoon... I wanted to do a more thorough review but the way things are going, I can tell I won’t have time so here are a few pics and few comments – enjoy!!

We stayed at the Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort in a Premium Over-the-Water bungalow. It was quite a journey to get there but it was well worth it. We flew about 6 hrs from JFK to LAX on a 767, then a 3 hr layover, then 8 hrs to from LAX to Papeete in Tahiti on an Airbus, then another 3 hr layover, then a puddle-jumper (2-engine prop plane) for about 50 mins from Tahiti to Bora Bora.

Once we arrived at the airport in Bora Bora, you have to take a short boat ride to your hotel, no matter where you are staying because the airport is on it’s own baby island aka “motu”.

The weather was a beautiful 80 - 85 degrees everyday with a constant breeze blowing (the “Eastern Trade Wind” they call it). The sun is strong like I’ve never felt before, even stronger than in many parts of the Carribean that I’ve been to. The waters are... well...I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves but let me say that they are the PERFECT temperature all day long. It rained one day and it was pretty stormy that night, but it didn’t spoil anything for us.

We were in the South pacific for our HM. It is so beautiful, isn't it?! We took a cruise, I always wondered what those bungolows looked like, it looked so nice.

Thank you so much for posting your review....We are still trying to decide on our Honeymoon. The French Polynesians being one option (others Seychelles and Fuji) and it really helped hearing about it first hand!

You're staying at the Pearl?! You're going to love it!!! Have a blast!!! Oh and if you're not looking to come home with a 'souvenir', be very careful cause I think there's something in the water!!
