Bora Bora resaurant recommendations from my TA

Dining recommendations in Bora Bora
The Honeymoon Concierge recommends the following restaurants on Bora Bora:

You should make a reservation with the concierge upon arrival for any of the below restaurants or we are happy to help you with any reservation in advance!

Villa Mahana/ Most expensive, great dining experience, charges 30 US for Transfers ( will appear on your bill)

Kaina Hut/ great food/ local ambiance / free transfers

Top Dive/ former chef of the Paul Gauguin Cruise/ great food/ free transfers

Matira Beach Restaurant/ french cuisine/ free transfers

Fare Manuia, VERY LOCAL SETTING , however great food / inexpensive ( just next to the Moana Hotel)free transfers

Bloody Maries, local ambiance, famous celebrity spot, however dining experience is rather mediocre ( Luau Style). Would recommend to take a drink at the bar and save the money for one of the above restaurants.

The above restaurant reviews are based on my -PERSONAL- Dining experiences!

we are going to Moorea July 7-15.
5 nights in Garden Bungalow in Moorea
and 2 in overwater bungalow.

Will you be booking all of these activities when you get there or before you leave??

This thread is awesome!

I'll post some things I plan to do.

Tahiti - Waterfal Abseiling in Papenoo, Lava Tub Trek, go to the Papeete Market

Moorea - Water Sports, Snorkel, Rent scooters to ride around the island, I'm under the impression that dining is more casual so we are going to wing our meals in Moorea with what looks good and is convenient.

Bora Bora - jetski around the island, Villa Mahana (if we can get a reservation. i tried already and they told me they were fully booked until July!!!), fire show and bbq dinner at Hotel Bora Bora, St. Regis spa, lounge in the pool and enjoy our OWB bungalow, rest

If you have anything you think I should add to our itinerary, please recommend!
