Everybody loves photographs of overwater bungalows, especially the aerial shots that show all the rooms lined up over the turquoise lagoon, but obviously those don't really tell you much about what it's like to stay in these glorious hotel rooms.
The good news is that many guests are so thrilled with their bungalow that they've recorded guided video tours of them. There are 9 overwater bungalow resorts on Bora Bora itself, and I've collected the best video for each of them and put them below.
In a couple of cases the best video (by far) has Spanish-language narration, but I feel that gives it an even more exotic vibe. One thing you'll learn from these videos is that ALL of these resorts are fabulous, so don't assume you need to stay at the 5-star deluxe ones to have an epic vacation of a lifetime.
The limiting factor with these resorts is that children must be under the age of 15. We stayed at the Thalasso with our 11 and 14 year old in March of 2018. We tried to rebook for March of 2019 and was told that the property would not accommodate our (by then) 15 year old. Very frustrating!
I am looking for a property that sleeps 4 over water

We’ve researched that topic and written the article above to help people with it. I’m not sure what else we can do. -Roger
