My mom and I arrived here after nearly 24 hours of travel from the East Coast.

However, the quality of service remains.
Below, my full review of The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa.
Closer to the hub of the property, 14 family-friendly beach bungalows overlook a private lagoon.

The outdoor Bluetooth speaker was a nice touch, too, perfect for my evening swims during sunset.
In the bedroom, the signatureWestin Heavenly Bedwas a standout.
The one we frequented the most was Tipanier, named after French Polynesia’s fragrant Plumeria blooms.
This French-inspired eatery along the lagoon serves an over-the-top breakfast buffet and dinner of seasonal dishes.
Wine pairing is also available.
Here, highlights include the homemade dried swordfish with fresh coconut milk and grilled tuna steak with sweet potatoes.
My mom and I took part in a lagoon cruise with a shark and stingray activity.
The spa treatments stem from Polynesian wellness traditions and holistic, Asian-inspired therapies.
I had booked a traditional deep-tissue massage; however, I showed up with a dramatic sunburn.
The accommodating masseuse used her expertise to ensure I still had an extremely relaxing and beneficial experience.
The on-site center is where locals and visitors can turn in injured sea turtles found in the wild.
During my stay, two sea turtles were being cared for at the Eco Center.
