Review: Four Seasons Bora Bora

As we neared the end of our trip to Bora Bora, we spent three evenings at the Four Seasons Bora Bora to wrap up our time in this island paradise.

This property is widely regarded as the pinnacle of excellence on the island and tends to be a magnet for honeymooners.

Indeed, given the Four Seasons’s global reputation for quality and service, I held lofty expectations heading into our stay – and it was to my great surprise that the resort fell short of those expectations by quite a distance.

Four Seasons Bora Bora – Booking

If you’re contemplating a stay at the Four Seasons Bora Bora, be prepared to pay quite a hefty price. The going rate for a standard room falls between 250,705–368,990 XPF ($2,500–3,500 USD, $3,300–4,600 CAD) per night, with some leeway on either side.

For this trip, I stayed for three nights at a favourable industry rate. However, our stay was definitely on the more expensive side even with an industry rate; indeed, this was arguably the most cash per night I’d shelled out for a hotel stay so far along my travels.

Four Seasons doesn’t have a traditional loyalty program with points and elite status; however, there’s still a way to get added value for your stay by booking through Four Seasons Preferred Partner.

This exclusive program offers complimentary breakfast for two and a $100 (USD) property credit, amongst other benefits, at no additional cost.

Furthermore, you can combine the Preferred Partner benefits with all available rates, including prepaid, promotional, flexible, and fully refundable rates.

If you’re planning a stay at the Four Seasons Bora Bora, it’s definitely worth your while to book through Four Seasons Preferred Partner and take advantage of these exclusive perks.
