We stayed here for four nights as part of our honeymoon trip and it was magical. Staying in one of their overwater bungalows, we were transformed into paradise, with direct access to the lagoon where there were so many different type of fish (size colour and type!) for us to snorkel around and explore. The resort itself also has a private beach, spa, three restaurants and two bars. There is also opportunities to do water sports and this is the closest resort, to the ferry station, with overwater bungalows. The staff were incredible and we couldn’t have asked for better memories from our honeymoon. Thank you for everything - we hope to see you again in the future
Smart tvs in rooms need Netflix access and rooms are slightly dated which require upgrading

Bangalô confortável e amplo, infra estrutura náutica com excelente equipe e excepcional experiência de mergulho em áreas muito preservadas e com bastante vida marinha. A equipe em geral é muito atenciosa e competente.
Não tenho nenhuma observação negativa. Tivemos uma excelente estadia e curtimos muito.

- situated right on the lagoon, the Sofitel is in my opinion the best property on Moorea due to the location of the resort, on the pristine lagoon that has the most amazing azule waters. The design of the resort allows for the view to encompass every aspect of your stay from your room, to the bar terrace to the restaurant and the pool- all offer a panoramic feast for the eyes, that you can’t help but feel relaxed and on holiday.
- we stayed in the overwater bungalow and also the ocean view villa. The water was crystal clear with an abundance of fish. Whilst the corals were not in great condition, likely due to human factors and environmental, the fish were plentiful. Snorkelling morning, noon and afternoon was a delightful way to spend the day. The beach on which the Sofitel is located is the best beach in my opinion in Moorea. There are plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas to relax and spend the day . You can also snorkel from the beach and see the stag horn corals as let the current drift you towards the Overwater bungalows.
- the rooms were clean, comfortable and bed was very big and comfortable.
- the buffet breakfast was also excellent with fresh pastries, egg and crepe bar and all the staff are very helpful and friendly.
- The restaurant food was ok, nothing special and definitely prices are high as is in the rest of Moorea. There is not much around the Sofitel walking distance but some restaurants do offer a free pick up and drop off service .
-would be good to see more signs and education for guests regarding helping to conserve the marine environment such as signs saying no feeding fish and also signs telling people not to step on the corals and how to swim around them etc .

Wonderfull included breakfast and wonderful overwater bungalow. Fast, high speed WiFi
room was a bit too dark day and night. Some additional overhead/spot lighting would have been helpful.

The location and the amenities are superb, breakfasts were amazing, which is rare, we had dinner only once on the property and it was pretty good, the huts are outdated but well kept and comfortable, the beach is everything with tons of activities available. The nights with live music was nice.
The service was 50/50 with quite a lot of rude staff, the barmen especially, though there were a few nice and empathetic ones in the restaurants. What was awful is music, playlists chosen for the bar and restaurants were the only reason we wouldn’t hang out there, absolutely killing the vibe of this otherwise atmospheric picturesque place.

Wonderful hotel in a spectacular location. Paradise on Earth. The Polynesian night was fun.
I personally thought the food served in the main restaurant could have been a lot better. It was served buffet style (which is OK), but did not feature any Polynesian influence, which I expected.

Location was good. Overwater bungalows we’re superb with the best snorkeling we have ever done right from our room!
Pricey but a bucket list item!

The bungalow on water was beautiful. Just don’t think the cost to a regular bungalow could ever be worth it
Food was terrible. The fact breakfast closed 30 mins earlier. Just very expensive and below average food. The French fries were my favorite item to say how disappointed I was. And I’m a food junkie

Exceptional service by front desk ladies who checked us in and informed us about the property and various events on. Great buffet selection, stunning views from the beach
One evening we wanted the front desk to book us at a nearby restaurant and instead, he insisted us to take x2 spots of guests who made a reservation at another restaurant, so as to not keep the shuttle driver waiting. We said that is not where we want to go and if he could please book us a taxi. This was by far the most expensive taxi ride in Tahiti, for a short drive - i.e. 5km, the taxi driver drove on speeds of 30kmh vs the speed limit of 60kmh and drove the fare up significantly. While coming back, he turned the meter off and said he would charge the same fare and drove back to actual speed limit. Given it was our first day we were left feeling a little sour, especially as the taxi was booked by the hotel and not hailed.
Given the tropical nature of the island, geckos and other insects also made way into our room, which wasn't ideal.
