I found Riatea or Huahine more enjoyable that Bora Bora.
Bora Bora is more visually stunning. But is so based in tourism that it impacts the locals in a way that makes me less comfortable there than other islands in the group.
Where there is more ballance in the economy, and more comfortable locals to interact with.

I also feel that being there on a boat allows a more enjoyable visit than being stuck in hotels and touristic restaurants etc.
There is a good charter operation based in Riatea. A week live aboard charter can get you to at least Three islands including Bora Bora.
I think the best vacation trip there is to put together a few friends and charter a large cat with a captain and see a lot of the area within the lagoons, dashing between islands as weather allows.

Cheers Richard.
