In my view you should choose the Pearl. For one thing it has the best view bar none of all the hotels in Bora Bora. For another, it is sort of locally owned and has a genuine Polynesian ambience, much like the legendary and sadly missed Hotel Bora Bora. The Pearl has the best beach of all the major hotels and it is on its own large motu, well away from the other resorts which tend to offer views of their neighbours.
