Stayed in pool suite in Bora Bora two years ago and loved it. So much so that we are staying in a poole suite in Moorea beginning next week.
Reasons for pool suite:

Air conditioning--the OWB in Moorea don't have it--I don't know about Bora Bora. We didn't need the air conditioning in our garden setting with palm trees everywhere during daytime, but very much enjoyed it for sleeping. The OWB's are in the fierce equatorial sunlight all day.

OWB have absolutely no privacy for deck area. The pool suites are surrounded by privacy fence, tropical foliage and they also have a large outdoor sitting area with thatched roof, pillows, ceiling fan and dining table. So private that sunbathing is suit-optional.

Pool suites also have much more area to move about with the private garden.

AND..........did I mention the plunge pool? OOOOOOOOO. it was so nice. Not large enough to swim laps, but the water flows over rocks in a shallow end to a chest deep area for "plunging" to cool off. The garden suites have a hot tub. Who wants a hot tub in tropical temperatures? We enjoy those when we are in the snow covered mountains.

Anyway, we so much enjoyed the Bora Bora Pearl Beach that I wouldn't even consider any other resort for next week's trip to Moorea. By the way, my travel agent told me that the Pearl Beach resorts are the only ones in the world with plunge pools.
