I heard it's a great place to visit, but living there takes atoll.

Why is that? Purely the cost of living?

They're making a pun because the island of Bora Bora is surrounded by a ring of coral reef, which is otherwise known as an "atoll."

Well for me personally, island there and isle take a while to get used to things. Shore, it's beautiful at first, but the heat can be a beach.

Although that’s a pun many islands and atolls in French Polynesian only have ships deliver food every 10-14 days so when the ship first arrives you have tomatos and lettuce and broccoli, eggs butter etc. at the shop. By the 7th day there’s maybe a few carrots and potato’s and a few onions until the ship arrives again to resupply that smol island or atoll.
