Members' reviews on LE BORA BORA BY PEARL RESORTS - RELAIS & CHATEAUX
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Having said that there are a few things that will help manage your expectations for a better time. If I were the general manager here, these are some of the things that I would try to work on.
1. Don’t expect the best service at the restaurants. Some of this might be cultural and I am coming from a North American experience. But in general you only have about a 50% probability of any request being fulfilled. So as long as you are patient, you’ll be fine. Some staff are absolutely great and remember everything.
2. The greetings at restaurants are unusual. Often times there will be several hostesses there. But they seem to be working on anything other than greeting guests. Which one would think is their primary purpose. We have several times come to a restaurant and the person continues to work on some paperwork and doesn’t even make eye contact and tells us that they will get to us when they’re ready. That’s pretty rough. Again, maybe cultural, though we haven’t experienced that at other resorts. In particular, Kelly has been pretty rough at Miki Miki..
3. They do nickel-and-dime a little bit here (which you wouldn’t expect given how expensive the rooms are). It is offputting when they are clearly trying to upsell on bottled water and don’t give an option for tapwater. When you ask for tapwater they sometimes take a long time to bring it, or sometimes don’t bring it at all. It is sometimes easier just to bring your own.
4. The hotel still uses single use plastic bottles for shampoo, etc. I’m sure they’re working on this but in 2024 it stands out a little.
5. The heat and UV is very high so I try and do things first thing outdoors in the morning or closer to sunset. It would be better if the paddle boards and kayaks would be available a little later, as opposed to closing by 5 PM which is over an hour and a half before sunset. I think it should be open a little later. Or not close at all. Maybe there are other reasons that I’m not aware of of why they close earlier.
