PB hotel design editorial

Strung across the coral shallows of Motu Tevairoa on a necklace of timber boardwalks, the overwater bungalows of Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts are arranged so that every structure faces Mount Otemanu across the lagoon — a placement that feels less like site planning and more like choreography. Pierre-Jean Picart's 1997 design for the resort drew on authentic Polynesian building traditions, using woven pandanus thatch, dark hardwood frames, bamboo cladding, and locally quarried stone to produce structures that carry genuine material warmth. Extended in 1999 and again in 2003, the property grew to 108 rooms and villas without losing the low-rise dispersal that keeps it in scale with the landscape. Inside the bungalows, steeply pitched thatched ceilings rise over wide-plank timber floors, with Marquesan-carved wood panels framing doorways and headboards in patterns drawn from traditional Polynesian iconography. The palette stays close to the materials themselves: cream linen upholstery, natural weave rugs, terracotta cushions, teak side tables — nothing competes with the turquoise view through the full-width glazed wall. The main restaurant works within a circular thatched pavilion, where dried pandanus-leaf pendants hang from exposed structural rafters above woven-back rattan chairs and white-clothed tables. At the pool, a sculptural shade canopy built from layered driftwood-grey timber slats gives the terrace its one explicitly contemporary gesture, a small but precise counterpoint to all that deeply rooted craft.

"We really wanted to love this hotel, but unfortunately it fell short. The hut was amazing but the service was so poor we would never stay here again nor would we recommend this hotel. The first evening during dinner service, our waiter just completely disappeared. We sat there for 30 minutes waiting to get a drink and put in our dessert orders, but he was nowhere to be found. No acknowledgement from the staff about the incident either after we were able to flag down a different server. Regardless of the MIA server, dinner service was incredibly slow. Each dinner took about 2 hours. There aren’t many people here, so it did not make sense. Additionally, they made a fuss about a table we wanted to sit at because we were a party of 2 and it was set for a party of 3. We said okay and moved on to a different table, however just a minute later a party of 2 was sat there. We also booked multiple excursions including an ATV tour. We received NO communication about the tour. These tours are not affiliated with the hotel whatsoever. The tour duration was listed as 3 hours and we verified with the concierge ourselves before leaving, however it was realistically 5 hours. It is completely inaccurate on their activities listing. Lastly, if you wish to have late check out, ask when you check in. We were told late check out was fine, so we went about our day and were going to finalize it after our excursion, however when we get back from the excursion the late check out was no longer possible, so they said. You’re telling me someone just booked our room within the 4 hours we were gone? They said it would be fine to finalize the late check out when we returned, which was completely false. This resort is not cheap but the service sure acts like a 3 star hotel."
