Many of us like the Bora Bora motu as much as Motu Mahana. They are different from each other but each wonderful in its own way. We always got an extra set of beach towels from the pool deck so we'd have one set to lie on and another set to dry off with. We also requested box lunches from one of the head waiters the day before. They would be delivered to our cabin in the morning. I was able to get the same mixed tropical drink at Bora Bora motu as at Mahana simply without the coconut surrounding the plastic cup. You walk over to the little bar rather than having a floating bar in addition to a free standing one. There is a nice long beach to walk on and it is quieter there.
