Sofitel supposedly sells you magnifique experiences... Unfortunately, we felt overcharged for an average vacation at this hotel. The good news are that my comments are mostly about service - and that can be easily improved! Location Sofitel Morea is located on a beach, very close both to the ferry port (where boats arrive from Papeete) and to the airport. As... More

The Sofitel La Ora was located next to a beautiful beach on a wonderful lagoon and amazing view of Tahiti. My husband and I stayed at another hotel on a different part of Moorea and the beach was much better at the Sofitel. The snorkeling here was good but there are other locations that are better. The Bungalow was amazing.... More

We stayed in a garden bungalow close by the restaurant. No problem with traffic and noise at all. Our room was roomy and clean. The restaurant staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was good with good selections but the a la carte was disappointing. The fish entrée was dry and chewy. Didn't have a chance to try the gourmet restaurant.... More

Having stayed at many Sofitel hotels before, I chose to spend a couple of days at the Sofitel Moorea while visiting this tropical island. The location of the resort is beautiful and the beach in front of the hotel is one of the best in French Polynesia. Unfortunately, there was one issue that affected my positive overall experience of this... More

We stayed here for four nights in one of the over the water bungalows. The view was incredible, and the room great. The beach is one of the better beaches on the island. Snorkeling off the balcony was good, but we had been spoiled by better snorkeling one of the other islands. My preference is for a little less luxury,... More

Great hotel, with fantastic customer service, amazing food and outstanding views. Everything about this hotel was perfect. The overwater bungalow we stayed in, had great interior and direct access to the waters of this beautiful lagoon. Snorkelling early in the morning, with all the colourful fish became a habit. Breakfast and dinner manus were outstanding, all the food was very... More

We spent 3nights at the Sofitel in a garden bungalow. Having been to the islands before we were fine not having the overwater bungalow for our entire 2week vacation, and were definitely not disappointed with the garden bungalow. The room is spacious, well laid out, nice big bathroom, and chairs to relax on the deck. The TV was surprisingly small,... More
