The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa

Best view in Bora Bora Wonderful stay in the most comfortable resort of Bora Bora, with the best view on mount Otemanu. Superior service and care to the guests in every little detail.

The staff was supper friendly and always eager to help. The resort was beautiful and exceptional in every way but one, the food at all the restaurants in the Westin resort are absolutely disgusting the food is horrible too fancy and overpriced. One of the nights me and my wife both got tuna steaks and we gotten food poisoning from them we left two days ago and we still feel bad from the tuna.

The Westin is a beautiful property. The staff and service is absolutely wonderful. My issue is, it is absolutely devoid of ANY Polynesian culture or charm. It is a very big, western, American hotel that happens to face the main island of Bora Bora. They have hotel arranged activities but if you want to go to the main island, and they really discourage that, it is a $35 shuttle plus a taxi to do so. If you want to visit one of the hotels on either side of the property, you need to hire a boat, my goodness you can see the lit bungalows and guests from the dock. But you need a boat. It has a very "Disneyesque" artificial feel to it. After 3 days, I felt like I was in a luxury prison. Never again, I'll stay at the Intercontinental on the main island.

the hotel itself is very modern but not unique enough. The service is pretty good but the food there is terrible. Menu is very boring and food tastes very mediocre. I ordered fish stew and the fish is soooo dry that I did not finish the plate and they charge me 70 dollars for it.
