What is the COST of The Four Seasons Bora Bora? We visited The Four Seasons Bora Bora during spring break 2023. The week spent in Bora Bora was incredible.
We stayed at The Four Seasons Bora Bora for 4 nights while on the island. I hope this video answers many questions and shares the beauty of the four seasons bora bora resort.
The Four Seasons Bora Bora resort offers 115 spacious hideaways with 108 overwater bungalows and 7 enormous beachfront villa estates. There are 2 docks, east and west, that are built into the lagoon and support all the overwater bungalows. There are 108 one and two-bedroom overwater bungalows, and 27 of them have a private plunge pool.

Great video! We love Bora Bora and are fortunate to go there often, our happy place! We stayed at Four Seasons for 7 nights a little over a year ago (also during Spring Break) at a Mountain View OWB on the West wing (#211) and loved it! We had been there a few times before on previous trips, but just for the day with Day Passes. We usually go to Bora Bora for two weeks (14-15 nights), so for that length of time our resort of choice has been Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts, where the two weeks in an OWB cost about the same as one week at FS. Enjoyed seeing Roberto from Lagoon Service serving you lunch. We always do their Full Day and have gotten him twice.

This one was definitely worth the wait - so professional and well thought out! Just the right mix of facts and information vs fun stories and observations, all backed by the most gorgeous views and great camera work. Very impressive. I love that you are so open about things and share so freely and honestly. As for the cost, it seemed well priced to me (not that I can afford it myself any more 🫤) considering the quality of service and the spaciousness of the bungalow, being over water, etc. Food always seems to be expensive in places where so much needs to be brought in. It looks fabulous - YOU made it look fabulous - and I can't wait to watch the next video about the St Regis!

Great commentary on both the Four Seasons as well as the St. Regis property. As a luxury travel advisor I am always glad to see honesty when it comes to reviews of luxury properties. I thought you were very transparent and I could truly appreciate that. I love the fact that you mentioned your mommy makeover so that other women could feel okay about their bodies as well. That being said looks like I need to go and take a trip to Bora Bora as I like to pre vet all of my destinations before I sell them to my clients. It looks as though the St. Regis property fell short in comparison to the Four Seasons.

[@SpaandTell]

I love your comment thank you! Absolutely, I’ve built my life and community around this idea of full transparency. People know my videos will be honest and real. I typically don’t do exchanges or sponsorships bc I never want to compromise my voice. I’ve been all over the world, living abroad, staying at very high end and low end places. I feel this gives me huge perspective on price, hospitality, etc. I have filmed so many places that I’ve never cut and released bc it’s honestly simply hard to get thru it all. But I love helping people know the real deal! If there is anywhere I haven’t shared publicly but you have questions about ask away because most likely I have an experience even if I haven’t made it public yet 😘

Omg where/who did you book from?! I'm looking at prices for this exact amount of time and bungalow for our honeymoon and am being quoted at over $20,000.

[@ethanlove5513]

Excellent video thanks for sharing, very well put together. I do have a question on the price. I looked at booking at the 4 seasons for 4 days and the cheapest option was a little over 10,000$. Did you go through the 4 seasons or through a booking site? Also what time of year did you go as that may have impacted the price as well.

[@ethanlove5513]

@@SpaandTell I looked online and if I were to book for January for 4 days it’s a little over 5,000$ that’s not bad at all for the 4 seasons. But if I were to book 4 days within the next couple of months the cheapest room for 4 nights is a little over 10,000$. I think the time of year has something to do with it. I will keep this place in mind it’s on my list to visit I have to plan around my wife’s schedule. I will probably do the Maldives 🇲🇻 first and then visit Bora Bora the next year. Thank you again for the informative video

[@nicolerael4520]

Ok so question, how did you book your room? Most prices i have seen are around 1800 to 2500 a night which total between 8k to 12k for the least expensive bungalow.

[@amyclausen8990]

Thanks for sharing. Do your totals include gratuity?

[@SpaandTell]

Yes they do fit the most part. Everything essentially cashless and charged to your bungalow so yes tips are in it

[@devinhoward4982]

I'm curious how you got the room for that cheap, I'm looking at a 4 night trip in July 2024 and it seems like nightly rates are well over 2,000usd, although maybe its just the seasonal difference? ETA: just checked in March and April and still being quoted over two grand a night, so that 5k price is amazing.

[@SpaandTell]

As you know rates vary. Before Covid these rates were higher. Rates simply vary. I didn’t do anything special, we booked directly with four seasons. I know people find deals to bora bora with Costco travel. But again I don’t know what rates are today or 6 months from now.

We went to Bora Bora Four Seasons Feb 2022. We thought everything were superb, except the food was overpriced, boring and not great. We did go take the boat to Bora Bora island on the last night and had amazing French food there. Wish there were better food options at the Four Seasons. I heard they used to have great chefs, but they all left. :(

[@SpaandTell]

I'm glad I'm not the only person thinking the food is mediocre and overpriced. I didn't realize all the good chefs left. One thing that I thought plagues them is they don't have a deep culinary staff environment. For instance, one of the reasons Napa has such exceptional food is because all these kitchen workers and sous chefs stay in the industry from kitchen to kitchen, with amazing chefs constantly improving as they grow. In Bora Bora, I felt like even if they had the best chef, i don't know how they could truly execute with such a small pool to draw from. Perfect example, I could tell that every shrimp I ate there had been blanch hours, maybe a day before I had and then plated and refreshed. The only reason I think they are staging food prep in this manner (which is not acceptable to me) is that they don't have enough staff to execute basic concepts well. I think the shrimp thing bothered me the most because Im in the middle of the Pacific. If I can't even get a shrimp wrap with juicy fresh shrimp, what is happening? This should be top in their wheelhouse. I will tell you after we were here, we went to the St Regis, where the food is a little better, but not Napa or Hawaii executed. Nothing extra special. But it is so much more money, doesnt even make sense, so Four Seasons is better than St Regis for me, and i prefer the four seasons property so much more.

My husband who also helps with editing and is getting better, he asks me the same things he struggles finding musuc but then I go into the catalogs and find stuff. I also reuse music that I love all the time

[@gbmd2410]

Okay... I realize no one can do anything about it, but just because the room cost is comparable to other luxury resorts doesn't mean the room isn't over priced. Yes, THE ROOM IS OVERPRICED. The luxury resorts charge those prices simply because they can. There is nothing, absolutely nothing that justifies the room cost. I don't begrudge anyone from making a profit and charging fairly for their services, but the cost of staying at those resorts are what they are because of greed, greed, and more greed. $800 - $1,000 per night would still provide a good profit without being overly prohibitive. I certainly wasn't suggesting that the room should be $150 bucks. Of course, you have to pay the staff, maintenance, upkeep, etc. Yes, it's expensive, but the ridiculous cost of staying in a Pacific Island resort is beyond outrageous.

[@SpaandTell]

Although I agree the prices are steep one thing to remember us everything is 30% more expensive in Tahiti due to the tax. Second these resorts don’t have many bungalows to spread the maintenance cost across. So although I agree it’s high I’m not sure there is as much profit as you might think. I honestly have no idea because I don’t see their accounting books and what it’s costs to do high end in the middle of no where. All I’m suggesting is that although the fees are outrageous it might be what it costs, but again I don’t know their margins

[@briansilva4165]

The room is priced in line with the four seasons brand. Four seasons always charges more for the room because they also include the extra hospitality services. There are some air b&b rooms nearby that you can rent out from the locals for like $200 / night. So bora bora doesn’t have to be expensive but I guess the point of going there is to stay on the over water bungalows. Lol. I’m used to staying in huge penthouse suites in Vegas for about $300-400 a night so if the room is the most important you should try Vegas. Vegas and Dubai you get your moneys worth.

[@SpaandTell]

I do like Vegas rooms. Crazy deals. China is the same. Huge high end rooms for $300. We took the boys to Sanya China for the new Atlantis. The Atlantis the Bahamas is $$$ and old. But chinas is new and cheap and it wasn’t crowded!

[@nickthomas2530]

Honestly the prices in bora bora is way better than Jamaica. A bungalow in jamaica cost over 5k per night. I wish bora bora was all inclusive.

[@bekkibuenviaje9680]

Those prices don’t shock me. I probably would have skipped the spa and snorkling and gone paddle boarding or kayaking.

[@SpaandTell]

Paddle boarding is free…you can pull one from the beach. The snorkeling was an opportunity to see the island which unless you leave the resort you will not experience

[@nadinezines5411]

[@briansilva4165]

Is there sharks in the shallow areas? I hear they are mostly black tip reef sharks but I prefer not to swim around sharks and stingrays. 😂 Also I heard the food isn’t that great and many people bring their own noodles and stuff to save money or befriend the locals and eat at their house. Lmao… People also rent rooms from the locals for $150-200/ night I hear. As a billionaire I dont dwell on such things but my budget friendly friends say their entire trip cost less than $2000. Asking for a friend.. lmao

[@SpaandTell]

Haha I think I’m picking up on some sarcasm 😂 obviously there are different ways to enjoy bora bora. Staying at the four seasons is one of the most expensive ways to visit. Everything in bora bora even on the center island is more costly due to remoteness plus the 30% tax everything is assessed with when it arrives in Tahiti. I’ve seen Airbnb type rentals on the center island but there are not many bc Tahiti has odd buying rules. You have to live on the island for nearly 10 years before you can buy. So there aren’t a lot of housing and that housing is mostly for people who live FT

At first if you are unfamiliar especially coming from the states you might encounter someone who might seem male in size but dresses feminine and dresses female esq. at four seasons I believe there were at least three people I saw that I thought were this third gender. My point with this explanation is that my experience there is that they are very LGBT friendly and we saw other sane sex couples there as guests. I hope this helps because it was an incredible experience
