Overall, I would caution travellers from trying to go to Bora Bora on the cheap - you will inevitably end up spending more money than you intended; and this could interfere with your enjoyment if 25 euro cocktails is the type of thing that bothers you.
I'm glad that we did it for our honeymoon - but I doubt we'll return before our 50th anniversary
thanks for the warning this confirms my impression that this destination is not good for a cheapskate travel hacking leech like me looking to travel on the cheap. I'll keep my points and certificates for less isolated/captive properties with lounges or where it's easier to control my costs (easier to choose when to be cheap or fancy), and go out and eat or drink like a local.
