Amazing Overwater Bungalow

The Black Pearl is an amazing place to stay for a couple! Richard, Nir and Taire were all very flexible and helpful. Taire helped us check in when we were able to arrive early on a standby flight. She met us at the ferry drop off with the car and showed us around and gave us all the information. The bungalow itself is about a 10 minute drive from downtown and is amazing! It has almost everything that you need including an incredible view, which is the most important to us! If you’re looking for a place that is absolutely perfect, there are a few cosmetic things that could be improved. None of them made this stay any less fantastic! Having air-conditioning is an amazing extra! The bed was comfortable and the bathroom is fantastic. We woke up every morning and had coffee on the deck looking out at the incredible Motus across the bay, then we would go snorkeling around the corner, so close you could walk. Our first morning snorkeling we interacted with a huge Reef Ray for about 20 minutes, a long gift to us! We also swim with spotted rays, black tip reef sharks, and many many amazing fish. Some of the coral went so deep we couldn’t even see the bottom of it. One morning a huge group of dolphins were playing in the clear water about 200 yards off the deck. We took the kayak out and just sat in the middle of them while they swam all around us. If we hadn’t been at the Black Pearl, these things probably wouldn’t have happened. Location, Location, Location!

We were very happy.

We genuinely enjoyed our stay at the bungalow. We were impressed with the high quality appliances, lots of kitchen accessories. Toaster, blender, storage bowls etc. The wash machine was nice to have as well. The shower was awesome, big and with a rain shower head that had great pressure. Also big fluffy bath towels were included along with 2 beach towels. The King size bed was comfortable. When it got hot, the air conditioner cooled it down quickly. Also if you opened all the windows you could get a nice breeze blowing through. It was fun sitting on the deck, enjoying the fish and beautiful water. I would recommend a rental car, we got ours through Nir, it was a great asset, we were able to grocery shop, go out to eat and go to the beach. The only negative we found was the blinds in the living room were mostly broken, which meant they had to be down the whole time, there was no way to raise them. Although it would have been nice had they worked, it did not hamper our stay.

Amazing stay

The bungalow was wonderful. Very clean and comfortable. So very relaxing, we spent hours on the deck just watching the boats and fish go by. We snorkeled right off the dock. If you go off to the right when you are facing the ocean there are fish. The excursion boats were able to pick us up and drop us off at the dock. Tom was great and very helpful. Would stay here again.

A week in Paradise

The property is beautiful, stocked with almost everything you'll need. The property owner was extremely responsive to any questions before the trip and the in-country manager was also extremely helpful both before the trip and once we were on island. When you see the proximity to each other of the overwater bungalows at some of the large resorts, you'll really appreciate how private this overwater bungalow is. If you're someone who wants to have have a short walk to shopping or dinner at a restaurant, this isn't the place for you. Most shops and restaurants were a 15 - 25 minute drive, but many restaurants provide free pickup and drop off for dinner. This was a perfect base for both relaxing and exploring the island and would love to stay here again if we make it back to Bora Bora someday!
