From the time we arrived to the time we left, we had a pleasant experience. We had an over the water bungalow. Plenty of room. I am sure in its heyday, this hotel was top notch. Yes, the rooms are a bit worn and could use an update or fix minor things in the rooms (Mine needed a blind wand). But we enjoyed our room. Overall, the bungalows could have been a little less in price. Enjoyed the breakfast buffet. Both omelet chefs was very attentive especially the one that was very animated when cooking. The staff was very helpful and nice but some of the guests to be rude. Yes, I said it. The staff nice, some guests rude. Saying please and thank you goes a long way. Snorkeling was great. Had dinner in the restaurant the first night. Service was great but did not care for the food. I had the parrot fish and truffle mac and cheese. My boyfriend had seafood something. We had a car so after that we ate outside the hotel. There is a water refill station. The minibar was stocked with 1 each Coke Cola, Sprite and pineapple juice. 2 beers and 2 sparkling water. Espresso/coffee machine and teas. It is restocked everyday. Although he does not belong to the hotel, there was a black and white dog that was joy to pet. Very friendly. Watch him as he watches what's in the lagoon. He barked when he spotted a stingray!!!! I brought a pendant from Pearl Romance. Salesperson Marie was great! Highly recommend.

Beautiful location in Moorea with wonderful on site snorkeling. We stayed in a beach front hut. It had a large porch facing the ocean, a large room and decent size bathroom. A stocked mini bar with two beers, waters and juice that is restocked daily. The bed was very comfortable and the AC was well maintained. The restaurant on site was delicious. We are there twice daily for 3 days and all the meals were wonderful.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Sofitel from 5/10-5/14. The property was clean, the staff was friendly, and the beach/snorkeling were incredible. We would stay at the Sofitel again, simply because of the beach/snorkeling. For first time visitors, I would call out the following to help set expectations 1) Dining: The food options are limited. For Breakfast, the buffet is fantastic and filled with all sorts of options. There is something for everyone. For Lunch/Snacks: You are limited to the Beach Shack menu, Pure, and the Hotel Bar. Drinks are not an issue, there is an abundance of alcohol and fruit drinks. For Dinner, the Sofitel has some partnerships with some restaurants and offers a car service so you can eat outside of the hotel grounds. You can order food from outside to be delivered or you might want to rent a car to explore other parts of the island. 2) Hotel Room Cleaning: We had to call and specifically request to get our room cleaned each day. Even though we put out the sign requesting cleaning, it wasn't until we actually called the front desk that someone came. The only reason this left a bad taste is because we were at the beach and even though we tried so hard not to track sand inside the bungalow, it inevitably happened. 3) Make sure you have mosquito repellant. Many of the rooms require you to walk through the gardens or the beach, and we did get bitten at night on our way to dinner/show.

This hotel is very expensive given that it is in real need of significant renovation. There is evidence of lots of wear and tear in the rooms, and walkways. The staff are very friendly, but some waiters seemed untrained. Bar food, beach food and drinks were very highly priced. Beach food was horrid. The beach is only part sandy with lots of broken and sharp coral, so you need beach shoes. The pool looked very tired and dirty and seemed little used. Overall the hotel had a very run down feel. We also stayed at the Hilton on the main island, and Bora Bora by Pearl resorts, both of which put this hotel into very sharp contrast.

The online photos give you an accurate picture of this property. A unique, immaculately clean and well-maintained property. Self contained with wonderful snorkeling, kayaking and other water activities. We didn’t stay in one of the over-the-water huts; instead we had a hut on shore with identical facilities only feet away from the water’s edge. The staff were most eager to please, very friendly and helpful. Moorea is absolutely beautiful and we had a wonderful stay.
