I highly recommend Sofitel Bora Bora Motu Private Island hotel to honeymooners. First of all, the location is really good. It's on a private island, so that no one can step on the island except for the hotel guests. There are 31 rooms, 20 of which are overwater bungalows. Second, the snorkeling around the island is great. Lots of corals... more

We came to the Sofitel Motu Private Island in August 2009 for our Honeymoon. First let me say that I've never written an online review, I've never "tweeted", I am not on facebook and I do not blog. That is to say I am not writing this as part of my normal discourse with the internet but rather to inform... more

If you are looking for a very romantic secluded location with gorgeous views of Bora-Bora, mount Otemanu, and the amazing colors of the lagoon (varying from turquoise to dark blue), plus don't mind not seeing many strangers/holidaymakers around and feeling like the island is all yours, Sofitel Bora-Bora motu should be on the tope of your list. We stayed 4... more

My husband & I are in our 50's and had researched the hotels of Bora Bora extensively before travelling. The big, splashy resorts don't appeal to us, so we decided on the Sofitel Motu. It was completely perfect & exceeded all our expectations. The staff was sparse, but very friendly and helpful. Whenever I had a request, it was quickly... more

Seriously, my wife and I just got back from the Private Motu and it is absolutely beautiful. Amazing water, amazing snorkeling, amazing privacy, just wonderful. We stayed in OWB 112 -- a "horizon" over the water bungalow and we thought it was beautiful. Right at the end of the right "wing" of bungalows, it was very private, had a wonderful... more

I did alot of research in choosing my hotel in Bora Bora and I was completely happy in choosing this one. First of all, it has the best view of all of the resorts. Even the St. Regis looks out onto just the water. This hotel has views of both the mountains of Bora Bora and the beautiful lagoon (Oh... more

We want to go back already! We went there for our honeymoon for 7 days. We stayed on the private island in an overwater bungalow with a lagoon view in room 129 which was one of the last rooms with much privacy. It was absolutely beautiful. If you want privacy the Sofitel Motu Private Island is the way to go!... more

We styed there on a OWB right at the end of the deck N° 115. You really feel like you are alone in the world, you can go the all day not seeing anyone, it feels so relax so intimate. You can just jump from the deck and go swimming, or take a kayak or pirogue to go round the... more

We stayed at Sofitel Moorea and Bora Bora after researching for the best snorkeling. I was not disappointed! Sofitel Bora Bora didn't have all the extra service that Moorea did...like giving you flowers in the ear all the time...but it had great ocean life! You could watch baby sharks come in the evening...rays...lots of tiny baby sharks...octopus...right from the dock!... more
