There are so many great photos to share from my Bora Bora trip, I had such a tough time culling through them. I figured I would talk and review the food next. You had three main restaurants to choose from: Tere Nui, Arii Moana (Fine French Dining), Sunset Restaurant & Bar (Asian Fusion/Sushi). You also had Fare Hoa Beach Bar that you could order drinks and lunch/snacks from during the day. We were never hungry for lunch because we stuffed our bellies so much at breakfast and the sun always suppressed our appetite.
We opted to stay on the Four Seasons resort for all of our meals. You can go into town by ferry and dine there (much cheaper and more options) but I prefer to stay at the resort. When I go on island vacations, I don’t want to have to think about where I’m going to eat – I just want to relax and not have to worry about anything. It may be like groundhogs day for some but I don’t mind it.
We ate at Arii Moana our very first night. A bit of warning, the prices are very expensive so make sure you enjoy fine French cuisine. It’s most definitely an acquired taste.

I couldn’t find what these desserts were called but the presentation was sure pretty. This post is very pic heavy so I’ll post pics of the other restaurants separately.
After a full day of fun in the sun and pure relaxation, we would enjoy the sunsets and view of Mount Otemanu from our deck before dinner. Sigh, oh how I wish I was back there…
P.S. This is the last day for the Friends and Family sale at Bloomingdales. See my picks here.
Stylish petite… even on vacation in the lovely South Pacific. Not one, but two cute hats you’re wearing. The bikini top and bikini bottom are both cute as well. You’re looking awesome! Also, great photography showcasing lovely Bora Bora.

Beautiful photos Annie! I love your blush hat a lot and the ruffled bottom is too cute. I was just clearing out my under the bed storage and found some old ones which reminded me that I need some new bottoms to go with the navy bikini top you recommended. I don’t blame you for staying put once you got there. The food pics look so delectable. 🙂
Hey Annie! Where’s the 2nd hat from, the blue one?
It’s from Target:)
