"Location was amazing. So peaceful, quiet, and serene. Viewed sunset from deck chairs of our room. Small facility so beach walks not crowded with lots of tourists. Room a little small but clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious - all so fresh. Secured parking on site. Only suggestion is to make guard gate electronic so aren’t required to get out of car to enter code. "

"When we located the property, it was a wonderful guest house. Note that guest houses have shared bathrooms and this one does not state that it has air conditioning. The proprietor was excellent and we loved being able to walk to the beach to snorkel!"

"Absolutely amazing views! Quiet, peaceful, right on the beach. Felt like we were staying at a private beach house. Room had plenty of space, air conditioning worked well, beach towels for water activities. And a central living room and kitchen with spectacular sunset views and relaxing chairs to lounge. Highly recommend!! "

"Very clean and comfortable, esp the staff are very kind and helpful. We want to buy fresh tuna, she drive us to stores two times, unfortunately the fish sold out, and after work she bought the fish and sent to our room. She always did what she could to help us. We selected this hotel mainly due to the high score of customer feedback, they really did very well and we felt very warm and comfortable. Additional, the snorkeling in front of the hotel is super good."

"The rooms were immaculate and the staff were wonderful, the views of the water and mountains as well as the accessibility to the water were bonuses, this is my first time in a hotel outside of the United States and it really set a hugh bar and this will be my recommendation"

"Lovely service and very well located (only 10min from airport with private beach)
Renovated accommodations but pool and terrace areas need refurbishment (coming in one month apparently).
We will be back after refurbishment!"
"We stayed in the overwater bungalow. It was amazing! First of all, the bungalows are laid out well and kept well. The location on the water was beautiful and perfect! My daughter and I love to snorkel so when we wanted to snorkel we just stepped off of our dock. We took full advantage and snorkeled a lot! The food at all the resort restaurants was very good and the drinks (alcoholic) were all very good as well. Every resort employee we talked to or had dealings with was very kind and accommodating. Just an overall great stay! We would definitely recommend!"
"Wonderful check in staff and porters….our flight was 2&1/2 hours delayed leaving the west coast that added to the 9+hr flight time…the staff was accommodating and helpful….TY!!"
"Everything Was lovely here! the bungalows were clean and stocked with anything we could need. The staff was professional and friendly. We loved the kayaks, parking and breakfast. The pool and hot tub were also lovely additions to our relaxing stay. Would highly recommend. "
"We stayed here during our honeymoon for 3 nights in a beach front bungalow. Can’t recommend this place enough. This was our 2nd favorite lodging during our trip where we stayed at 7 different lodgings (only behind one of the 5 star resorts on bora bora). If we visited again we would choose Sofitel again over the other resorts on Moorea offering OWBs. The staff was incredibly friendly our entire time there, and all food options come highly recommended. Do not be cheap and avoid the resort breakfast - it is well worth it. The room was very clean & we had easy access to the nearby lagoon where we had some of the best casual snorkeling of our trip. One of our highlights at Sofitel was the beach front romance dinner through restaurant K - we were picked up from our bungalow at our reservation time & dropped back off after. We also had an amazing spa session while there. The only downside for the short term is part of the property was beginning renovations when we were leaving (including the spa moving to a smaller location on site with potentially more limited offerings) in late October. Overall we would 100% stay at Sofitel in the future again. "
"The views were awesome, we had bungalow 1 right by the water. The cleaning staff was great !
I would stay here again. It had a fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle, so we were able to have breakfast and lunch at our room.
Book the restaurants nearby ahead of time, it is not always possible to get reservations or get into some places."
