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.

A wonderful resort with great amenities. My husband and I stayed in an overwater bungalow. It was quiet and relaxing, with beautiful views and so many fish to see while snorkeling. The sunrise and sunset at the beach were beautiful. There was a variety of different cuisines at the buffet, and we enjoyed the dance show at dinner. The Polynesian massage at the spa was one of the best massages I’ve ever had. Overall, our time at the resort was one of the highlights of our trip.

Paradise right here. Can’t get any better. Staying in bungalows over the water was a dream. Water crystal clear with amazing snorkeling right off your balcony. Snorkel gear and kayaks included with stay. Staff super friendly. Food very hood. Breakfast was included which was a plus. Otherwise food was pricey. Nice pool. Dream location

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!
