The timber treatment rooms are accented by coconut tree, kaori, bamboo, and lava stone. There are eight treatment rooms, a twin-table open-air Vichy shower, and a beauty salon for manicures, pedicures, and facials. A VIP suite offers two massage tables, spa and bath, washroom and shower, and throne-like armchairs. There are also two steam rooms and two saunas. The relaxation pavilion has air conditioning, as does the adjacent fitness centre. Click the links below for more details.

The philosophy of Manea Spa incorporates the traditional art of Polynesian massage, taurumi, which creates harmony of body and mind and uses local island ingredients including sandalwood, tiare flower, ylang ylang flower, and monoi (scented oil). Its philosophy is based on the symbiosis of nature and the environment and uses ancient techniques and gestures, many of which were once reserved for Tahitian royalty. Signature treatments are the Avae Tarumi (barefoot body work), Moanarumi (aquatic rejuvenations). and Monoi Ofai (hot stone healing).

Manea Spa products are made exclusively in Tahiti with a formula based on natural properties of regional flowers and plants, such as tiare, vanilla, sandalwood, and coconut.

“One of the most memorable experiences of my life!”

We had an excellent experience at the Pearl Beach Resort, the service was really great. We went there for our honeymoon and we were both very happy to stay at such a great place. The rooms were very clean (that was very important for us), they had a very efficient activity desk to handle all of our tours, and the service was really great. We saw a couple of Polynesian shows at the resort, we have not seen other shows but we really enjoyed what we saw. There was a boat that went to the main island every hour from 6am to 11pm, so you could always leave if you wanted to, but truthfully the Motu were the Pearl Beach is located doesn´t make you want to leave (except for the awesome tours). We stayed at a Garden Pool Suite and the Premium Overwater Bungalow. The Garden Pool is cheaper, bigger, and we really enjoyed the Jacuzzi (that was awesome), but if you make it to Bora Bora, you must experience the Overwater Bungalow, the Pearl Beach has gorgeous turquoise water and an awesome view of Otemanu (the top of the mountain) try to convince the front desk to put you in a Bungalow with that view. I wish prices were cheaper; Bora Bora in general is very expensive. I had one of the most memorable experiences of my life there…then again being at Bora Bora helps a lot, but I would definitely go back to the Pearl Beach Resort.

What to pack
Bring food and alcohol, you´ll save a lot of money that way. At least a bottle of wine.
Must see
Shark and ray Tour and the Island Snorkeling Tour. The catamaran tour was very nice but a bit expensive. The safari tour was a little bumpy but the pictures from above are incredible. I was told by a lot of people that Moorea (a different island) close to Bora Bora was cool to visit as well.
Nightlife
There is no nightlife, go somewhere else for that. This is a very quite place. Go to relax.

“It was worth it. Bora Bora is a must see!”

We loved the location of the hotel. We loved our bungalow over the water. We had a premium OTW which had amazing views. The water surrounding is to die for and perfect for taking a dip and wading around at your leisure. The beach and garden bungalows looked very nice as well. Although the garden section had more misquitos. It was very easy to make arrangements for tours or dinner pick up reservations through the front desk. The room was very clean, the shower and bath tub were very nice. The only cons were: - saw a single cochroach in the room - would like more menu options at the restaurant Based upon the fact that this hotel was priced much better than other hotels in the area, it was a relatively good value - still expensive as eveything in Bora Bora is.

Area recommendations
Anywhere in Bora Bora is great. The only downside, which didn't bother us, was that this hotels shuttle boat doesn't land directly in the main town so you have to take a quick bus ride from the boat dock. The schedule is very well timed and very easy so it wasn't a big deal.
Must see
Shark and Ray feeding excursion! The shark's are not scary in the least but very cool. The stingrays take you by surprise as they are all over you looking for food. A little scary at first, but a great experience.

“I hope this is what heaven is like. Truly unbelievable place. This is Paradise.”

Went to Bora Bora after a cruise. Have been to 5 islands on cruise. Bora Bora is the only place to visit in my opinion. After landing at airport was met by representative. We and our bags were picked up and put on the boat for transportation to hotel. Boat ride was quick and beautiful. When reaching resort was taken to reception where we relaxed on a couch. We were given a cool moist towel and a drink of pineapple juice. Check in was easy and very relaxing. We were escorted to our overwater bungalow. We were showed how everything worked and our bags were already in the room. Resort is amazing. Scenery is to die for. Our bungalow was everything we expected and more. Staff was more then polite and helpful in every way possible. They even made reservations for us at Bloody Mary's restaurant. A must see from movie South Pacific. Scuba dive shop is on property and staff was amazing. I was nervous with the dive but dive master was exceptional. Manea Spa is the most amazing spa I have ever seen. Staff was unbelievable. Setting was beautiful, quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Must go for massage if you are at Pearl Resort. You will pay for transportation from airport to hotel and back. My opinion is to somehow add this into the price of the room. Food can be pricey because options are limited. Food was great. Breakfast buffet was delicious. I like a big breakfast and they did not disappoint.
