Dining is among the best of its kind; Snorkelling is the weak spot to accept.

Guest reputation
Tripadvisor ranking: 6 of 13 in Bora Bora; Location 4.9 / Cleanliness 4.8 / Rooms 4.7 / Sleep 4.7 / Service 4.4 / Value 4.1
Common praise
- Views of Mt Otemanu and the lagoon (location 4.9)
- Renovated overwater bungalows, many with plunge pools
- Friendly staff and a steadily praised Maere restaurant
- Free kayaks and paddleboards plus cultural activities
- Plenty of 'Bora Bora Westin' notes: restaurant-review series, hotel guides and comparisons with the St. Regis
Common complaints
- Food quality and value are debated (management says it is improving)
- Very high prices
- Slow service at busy times and constant background music
- A few check-out and communication complaints
- Some posts stress a 'purely personal opinion' or a non-points guest's view, hinting at disagreement over price and food
Tripadvisor 4.6/5 (212 reviews, 6th of 13 in Bora Bora) and Google 4.6/5 (319). It only reopened in September 2024, so review counts are still small. Praise centres on the view of Mt Otemanu and the plunge-pool overwater bungalows; the weak points are very high prices, disputed food quality and value, and modest snorkelling. Xiaohongshu has many notes (restaurant-review series, comparisons with the St. Regis, 'new honeymoon hotspot' after the renovation), with food and price as the main talking points.
