I do not plan to be going to Bora Bora often given its location and cost, so as a 1 time splurge I am fine paying the upgrade fees, the question is it worth ~$150USD a night more for the end of the pontoon vs the horizon OWB?
Just got back from Bora Bora in mid August and it was my 6th visit. Previously stayed 3 times at Thalasso and this time I only stayed at Le Moana (also my 3rd stay). I was upgraded to the end of the pontoon bungalow # 74, I wasn't very impressed by the view, after 3 nights I moved to the horizon bungalow # 25, the view is much better and I like it more. It overlooks sofitel motu private island and Mount Otemanu on the left.
The overwater bungalows at Le Moana are all identical, same size and same amenities, except one overwater suite # 75-76. The only advantage for the end of the pontoon bungalow is people hardly walk past your bungalow, but later I find it not necessary the truth. At the long pontoon, the end of pontoon overwater bungalows are night next to the platforms (unused jetty) where some guests tend to visit for photos.
