Four Seasons Bora Bora in January
Posted this in chubby travel but curious to hear other thoughts..
We're planning our first trip to Bora Bora this January, only to realize that Four Seasons has major renovations planned during our stay. The main infinity pool, main beach, Fare Hoa Beach Bar, and Tere Nui restaurant will all be closed.
They'll be offering an alternative Villa Beach Club with two pools (including an adults-only pool), beach access, and dining service.
We're planning to stay in an overwater bungalow and honestly aren't too concerned about not having access to the main pool. Our bigger concern is construction noise and whether it will take away from the overall experience.
The resort said they'll place us as far away from the construction as possible, but understandably can't guarantee we won't hear anything. Since this is our first time in Bora Bora, we have no sense of how far the overwater bungalows are from the construction area or how much noise might carry.
Has anyone stayed at Four Seasons Bora Bora during previous renovations, or have any insight into how disruptive this might be? Would you still go?
also to add, from our previous experience at Maldives (Soneva Jani and St.R) we never really used the main pool (i cant remember if there was one at Soneva honestly) and only once used the main breach at Soneva. Most advices so far said to cancel but just trying to understand why..
looking at the map of the property, also it seems that the main beach/pool are somewhat isolated? again, just trying to understand if I am underestimating the whole thing and this would really ruin our trip. Thanks in advance appreciate the thoughts
