Heaven awaits!
The facility was phenomenal! Absolutely outstanding. Grounds immaculate. Snorkeling in crystal clear water with brilliantly colored coral and fish was amazing. Over water bungalows were very nice but need a bit of updating. The views from our bungalow were beautiful. Restaurant breakfast great. Dinner buffet with show was good too. The lunch fare was poor and very expensive for the quality of meal you receive. I highly recommend this property. We didn’t want to leave. You won’t be disappointed!!!!!

This place was Heaven on earth! I had the best location! It may not have been beach front (they were all sold out), but my luxury garden bungalow with ocean view was perfect! I was still able to see the beach while laying on my bed or on my porch, and that was all I really needed. Plus, it was also the perfect location because I was right next to the beach bar and a hammock and the ice machine! Sometimes I felt like I was the only one there. So it was really nice! And bed was super comfortable! The room and property may need a little renovation, but they’re all small little things. The room was still beautiful and spacious! And I loved that they accommodated my needs! I don’t really drink beer, so they replaced by daily drinks with pineapple juice! Which was perfect for the rum I bought at the airport lol And I enjoyed the little touches like the beautiful flowers all around the room and of course the yummy surprise of macarons! Overall, it was a beautiful and pleasant stay! I will for sure be back! Māuruuru, Sofitel!

Definitely the closest resort to the ferry terminal. The place was fully booked when we were there but it never seems too crowded. The concierges are very helpful for helping us plan activities. Googling, watching travel vlogs or reading reviews can only cover so much information. Always better to talk to a local about activities for the day. Things I didn’t know before my visit: - snorkel gear, kayaks and pedal board rentals are included with the room - there’s a scooter rental right there in the parking lot (ask the concierge about booking) - room service meals come in a canoe(for overwater bungalows). We didn’t get it ourselves but some of our neighbors did. - The breakfast buffet is very good but dinner can vary based on what you order. If you don’t want to eat dinner at the hotel every day, there’s a food truck about a mile south from the hotel that has excellent food and less than half the price of hotel restaurant The rest of the staff are very friendly and helpful too.

The Sofitel is the most beautiful resort in Moorea. The beach front bungalow was a dream come true. It’s so dreamy and serene. The service was amazing, every server was more than accommodating , they welcomed us with a smile, and they treated us so well! 5 star service ! There are plenty of activities in the resort such as kayaking , paddle board, jet skis, scooter snorkeling, diving and plenty more! I love this place so much this is the second time we have made a trip out here. The rooms are beautiful and the beds are so comfortable. It was so difficult to leave the Sofitel!

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.
