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.

We stayed 3 nights in an overwater bungalow. It was very clean, bed was comfortable and cleaning staff were very good. However, like many other reviews of the restaurant and staff there, it was highly lacking for a 5 star resort. We stayed at a VRBO on the west side of the island for 12 days before going to the Sofitel. Every local restaurant we ate at was much better food and service. Our 1st night at Sofitel we tried the restaurant. Our waiter took our drink and meal order and we never saw him again. A different waiter brought my steak, which was tough and no knife. We never received our drinks. My wife had the same problem the next morning ordering a coffee. We had to ask a second waitress. If you stay here, venture off property and enjoy a locally cooked meal.

Located in one of the beast beaches in Moorea you couldn’t ask for a nicer area. The staff is hardworking and friendly, specially at the restaurant. Special shout out to Pedro and the omelette king. Where it felt flat was the condition of the hotel. The overwater bungalows are in dire need of a makeover. Get a rental care if there for more than a couple of days. Also a con is the fact that the hotel sells day passes so random day folks being loud and taking over the shady chairs at the beach.

Amazing property! I had a water-front bungalow, beautiful and spacious with a little deck right on the water. I enjoyed the beach and free-snorkeling gear to visit the coral reefs with awesome marine life. Great restaurant, though the high-end restaurant 'K' is quite expensive. All staff was very friendly and helpful.
