Another point is that the drinks on the beach in Bora Bora (not quite a private beach but essentially reserved for PG guests) are free. They usually have coconut shells hollowed out and they fill them with what ever you want. We floated in the water for nearly 5 hours at this beach (lots of sunscreen and a blow up mattress which is the coolest thing to bring -- you will be the envy of everyone!) and returned back to the drink shack to fill up our Pina Coladas over and over again. Needless to say, after 5 hours of floating and "sipping" it felt like someone had sucked our brain out. This was probably the most relaxed I have ever been (other than the time we did the same thing in the same place two years prior).

It is pretty neat when you go ashore on the private motu and the Bora Bora beach that there is a table with a large bowl filled with bottles of champagne to help yourself when you get off the tender.
