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.

Beautiful beach and room. We stayed in the beachfront bungalow. The spa is nice and enjoyed a yoga class there. I felt the food options were limited. the night I stayed there was a buffet dinner for $95, which was way overpriced, or more casual food in the bar. I did enjoy the breakfast spread in the morning and it was included in the room. One downfall was the stray dogs wondering the property and in the restaurant. I was grossed out having a stray dog sitting at my feet at the table waiting for food. We did have to wait an hour longer to get into our room. The front desk provided free drinks in the lobby bar but then the service was so slow we didn’t get to enjoy them while waiting for our room. They seemed understaffed, and not the best service that you would expect.

The hotel is set on a very good beach with both swimming and snorkelling available though there was a strong current running along it. We had a Garden Beach Bungalow. Little disappointed as this was 3 rows back from the beach and we had the beach bar blocking our Seaview. We only went to the pool once. It was a little uninspiring. The breakfast buffet was good but didn’t vary. We had been to the Sofitel in Fiji and this wasn’t as good. The main restaurant at night had a reasonable menu but was expensive by NZ standards. The tapas menu in the bar was very limited and a bit boring. In the whole had a good holiday it was a shame the weather didn’t play ball.

We stayed in three different bungalows. Our favorite was the beach view just west of the overwater rooms. You're steps from the beach and that glorious water but away from minimal crowds. Our least favorite was the ocean view to the east of the overwaters. The overwater bungalows are directly in front of you and the water. There's no beach to speak of here and the water is almost too shallow to swim in. Staff overall was very friendly and helpful. The main attraction for the Sofitel is the water. Amazing snorkeling, incredible wildlife, and never too busy.
