We have been to many islands and this was the absolute best snorkeling we have ever seen. HIGHLY recommend doing snorkel excursion with Sebastian and Captain Nico, it was one of the best parts of our vacation. Loved our overwater bungalow. Property is due for a renovation and they said they will be doing it sometime soon (many broken slats on wood blinds, a lot of beach chair were broken and the footers for overwater bungalows are cracked and need repair). Food and drinks at bare were good but expensive, as expected. Be aware that some bungalows are right next to a road and you can hear traffic, would recommend either overwater or beachfront bungalow. If you get a beachfront one though, there are a lot of chickens and the roosters crow constantly even at night. They feed them and really should relocate them, I love animals but they’re unpleasant. We really did have an excellent time there though!

The place was incredible. Beauty of the nature, the quality of the service and the food was very diverse and quality. The chef who was making the omelets was super friendly and he was sharing his good energy right at the beginning of the day. The snorkeling directly from our room was breathtaking, I enjoyed every second of this hotel. My partner and I saw 2 rays, 1 shark and 1 baby turtle directly at our room which added some magic. Simply the best. I can’t compare to Bora Bora but definitely the best hotel I had in my life.

The hotel was very dirty — I found ant COLONY in my luggage after my stay due to the unsanitary conditions of the room. There were many other insects throughout the room, including giant flies. The property is poorly maintained overall. During rainy weather, muddy water pooled all over the pathways, splashing up and soaking my shoes and clothing. The shower had loose tiles, which felt genuinely unsafe. The room itself was very dimly lit, making it difficult to pack and unpack my luggage. Plus there were loud noises throughout the night, ranging from loud music to roosters and birds crowing. There’s zero sound proofing. It felt like I was camping in a tent. Communication and service were also far below expectations. Many staff members were unhelpful and, at times, outright rude. There seemed to be a complete lack of internal coordination — for even the simplest requests, I was told to contact the “activities person” myself, in person, rather than having the front desk relay the message. There was contradicting and confusing communication. Ie. I had to followup 3 separate times for a simple dinner reservation. Several of my emails also went completely unanswered. Would not recommend, especially given the high price point and the Sofitel brand name. This experience was far from the luxury or hospitality one would expect.

We loved our stay at the Sofitel! We had a garden bungalow that was just one hut away from the beach. It was beautiful and very convenient to get to the beach and watersports desk. We were able to park our car easily, and everything is within a short walk. I checked out a paddleboard everyday, and we could use life vests. We booked a snorkel adventure easily. We loved their breakfast each morning, and had a nice dinner there one night. Our favorite part of the resort is the amazing coral reef right in front of the private beach. There are fish within feet of the shore. We loved both Moorea and the Sofitel more than the other places we went afterwards.

Over the water bungalow number 111, only 4 feet deep of water, lots of live coral reefs, no need to snorkel since you can see beautiful fishes from your deck. A little crackers can lure hundreds of fishes, dozens of species. The Saturday Polynesian buffet is amazing. They have baby pig, unicon fish, trigger fish, giant clam, 5 different ways of raw tuna, chicken, beef, tropical fruits, dozens of desserts including exotic ice cream like sore sap ice cream. You got to try it if you have a chance. You can imaging the Sunday breakfast buffet is also fantastic since some leftover ingredients would show up. The clam salad and the one night dried tuna sashimi are incredibly delicious.
