Kristin was so helpful and very insightful. Her attention to detail about what I was looking for, paired with her knowledge of Portugal was exceptional. She gave the best recommendations and I absolutely loved the hotel I chose. Thanks again for your help in planning my trip, Kristin!

Kristin was the ultimate best! She left no stone unturned and made the whole experience so seamless. For helping us book the hotels to arranging our seaplanes accordingly as well. She also sent a gift basket and champagne as our welcome with a very sweet note. I will definitely be booking my next trip with her.

A huge thank you to Kristin for her amazing service! She was an absolute pleasure to work with—so kind, patient, and helpful. The hotel she booked for us was perfect, and we truly appreciated the complimentary upgrades and amenities she arranged. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Kristin was so helpful, and so quick to respond. She is someone that is very professional yet has a kindness that comes across through email that makes you feel so comfortable and that you can trust. She really went above and beyond with our request especially being last minute. We very much appreciated the request for an early check in (that was so graciously approved!) which allowed our baby to be able to get settled in for his nap in the room. She is definitely someone that we will be going through for our future travels and will be sharing her contact with others!

Beyond the Postcards: A Family Journey Through Paradise at Four Seasons Bora Bora
Four Seasons Bora Bora holds a uniquely personal place in my heart. When I was young, my mom was a flight attendant for Hawaiian Airlines and regularly flew the Tahiti route. She would return home with stories of an island so breathtaking it felt almost mythical—waters in impossible shades of blue, warm Polynesian hospitality, and landscapes that lived somewhere between dream and memory. Those stories shaped my earliest ideas of what paradise could be. Visiting Bora Bora for the first time with my own family—for my mom’s birthday—was a full-circle moment I will never forget. Watching her step back into a place she once knew so well, while experiencing it alongside my children, felt like generations of dreams converging. What had always been my bucket-list destination became something even more meaningful: a shared legacy, brought to life. Four Seasons Bora Bora didn’t just meet the expectations built from years of childhood imagination—it exceeded them, giving us a space to reconnect, celebrate, and create new memories in a place woven into our family’s story. It was a dream realized, and one that will stay with us forever.
