i was in bora bora last month staying at the Intercontinental Thalasso
the road that runs by the property is indeed a good quality concrete road rather than a dirt track.
we sailed the island by boat and stopped right outside the hotel. the water and position of bungalows is beautiful. a few were obviously in bad shape and one or two were completely missing from there positions.
Matira beach that sweeps from Hotel Bora to IC Moana is lovely.
i doubt I will ever be back to Bora Bora as its the other side of the world for me ( Ireland ) but it would be a shame for such an iconic hotel never to reopen.
i can imagine the labour costs , running costs make it hard to be viable.
To compare the IC Thalasso utilizes deep-sea water that conserves 90% of its electrical consumption
