Why does it seem like there are no people in the water ?

Perhaps because I tried to avoid that?

Maybe he was worried about the pritzus police ruining his TR

Are you trying to get people to start going to BOB, because if you are, you're doing a great job!

I purchased a Vini data sim card, got 500MB for $41

Sim card cannot be purchased in the area of the LM BOB, only on the main island.
No free WiFi on the island?

BoraBora: Words can’t describe it and pictures won't do it justice
Have you been to MLE?
Seems to me that main difference is that there's a pretty mountain as a backdrop.  Not sure that outweighs the cons (Significantly worse premium class options and availability, lack of OWBs with private pools)

Would like to hear from someone who's done both though.

IY"H I'll have done both by February.

There are private pools fit the right price

But who needs a private pool in BOB?

Certainly a different type of adventure. I will add BINP to that.

Because of the mountain/view?
Or?

I've read the snorkeling in BOB isn't the greatest whereas the snorkeling I had at the W MLE was otherworldly.
