After booking this beautiful property on Expedia, I realized I needed to arrange the airport to resort boat transfer. It would have been nice if Expedia's customer service had made the arrangements, but I don't remember them offering. So I emailed Le Meridien Bora Bora who needed my flight intinerary and arranged for their private boat to pick us up from the airport. Entering the resort by boat was spectacular. The staff provided a nice walking tour of the facility and the check-in process was very good. Our over water bungalow was in a French Polynesia modern decor and glass bottom floor was stunning. The main draw to this resort for us was the beautiful inner lagoon where you can swim/snorkel with sea turtles and different species of fish. Le Meridien also has their own complimentary ferry to the main island. However, you will need to make arrangements with the activities desk to determine your mode of island transportation. We opted for an eight hour rental car so we could have lunch and dinner as we explored and shopped the island.
