I highly recommend the over-water bungalo. The staff is fantastic and responsive to your needs. Take the time to rent one of their electric cars and drive around the island...it'll take you less than an hour and the views are beyond wonderful. more

I think the story of this hotel is: They were one of the first, they built close to the highway (which may have made sense in the early days), then all the luxury hotels started to come in building over-water bungalows, which then forced them to build a few over-water bungalows themselves. Though, from what I could see, they didn’t... more

My Husband & I spent our honeymoon in Tahiti from 23rd February-2nd March 2009 which was during the wet season. We had a stop over night at Sofitel Papeete in a Superior Mountain View Room, unfortunatley as we arrived late on a Sunday night room service was closed & so were local shops so eat big if you expect to... more

We were scheduled to stay 5 nights at the Sofitel Marara Beach Resort. Four nights would be in a luxury garden bungalow and 1 night would be in the deluxe overwater bungalow. Upon check-in, we decided that we wanted to upgrade to all 5 nights overwater. However, check-in at the Sofitel was not as easy as the other hotels we... more

My husband and I stayed at the Sofitel Marara for 5 days/4 nights for our honeymoon in the middle of June 2009, and were more than pleased with just about every aspect of the hotel.

We stayed at the Sofitel in March 2008 for 5 nights as part of our Honeymoon. I must say, Bora Bora completely exceeded our expectations - is really is paradise. We loved the island. We stayed in a beach bungalow (#11) and were very pleased with all aspects of our accommodation. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and made... more

We were told that the Sofitel had been updated. We went with friends and had a great time - but only because we were there with friends. People tend to stay by themselves. It is very difficult to make friends there. Our beach-front bungelows were very nice. The beach was great. But...the food was absolutely horrible - it was under-cooked... more

We were disappointed in our stay at the Sofitel Bora Bora Beach Resort. The service was VERY slow, even by Polynesian standards. The food at the restaurant was average at best and the rooms were very close to the road and we could hear road noise well into the night. It looked nice but that was about it. I would... more
