    Being trapped with only the resort food. Breakfast is fine, but dinner is overpriced for the quality.

    Beautiful and very comfortable resort. The beach is wonderful for shade and snorkeling. The bungalows are clean, beautiful and comfortable with very soft sheets and high quality pillows. When it rains the covered deck is ideal for sitting in and enjoying the garden views and storm.

    The quintessential Moorea resort

    For an international resort, they need to have more / better trained staff who are fully competent in English. But, it’s a minor consideration. Also, as so much in Polynesia is cash based, the front desk really should have French Polynesian Francs available for exchange, or a local bank ATM in the lobby.

    A more beautiful spot can’t be found: THE classic spot on Moorea. Rooms and facilities are spectacular and comfy. Whether you’re in a garden, beachfront or “over water” hut, you’re only steps away from spectacular snorkeling and the gorgeous waters

    I was very unhappy when I wanted to take a taxi to the Hilton and was told that it would cost $45 each way. That’s pretty outrageous. I didn’t like feeling stuck at the hotel because it was so costly to leave. No options.

    The hotel was simply beautiful. The breakfast was great. Lunch and dinner were not exceptional. I loved being right on the ocean and getting up in the morning and snorkeling

    All the restaurants were a little pricey and shops and grocery stores where a taxi ride away.

    Overwater bungalows were amazing. Snorkelling straight from my bungalow is something I will never forget. Every type of accommodation looked great. The staff were super helpful and professional, they made you feel really special. The refill of the mini bar, housekeeping and a turn down service was exceptional.

    Food was a bit disappointing. Small portions and quite expensive.

    Well kept up and manicured daily. Staff are incredibly nice and polite. Snorkeling off the beach was incredible. Some of the best examples of marine life around.

    The Sofitel was very nice. We rented a bungalow for two nights. We loved being able to go snorkel right from our deck. The beach area the Sofitel is located on is the best whhite sand beach on the island. The coral reef preservation in that area is wonderful and so many fish to see. Don't hesitate to splurge on a few nights here. We did not eat much at the hotels restaurants. Breakfast was a very good spread. We choose to drive to local resturants all over the area for other meals.

    The lighting in the shower of our bungalow was very poor. We also had a lizard sneak into the bungalow, but that was likely because we left the French doors open to enjoy the weather outside. There was also only one table and one chair in the room, which was a bit inconvenient if you are trying to stay in and eat a meal of something. More luggage racks would also be appreciated.

    This resort has a fantastic location on the beach with prime snorkeling right outside your door! The amenities were top notch, making this a place where you can just relax and enjoy yourself. There were good views of the sunrise every morning. The breakfast buffet was phenomenal. Free snorkeling equipment is also provided for the duration of your stay. They also have showers and changing rooms available if you arrive before checkin, allowing you to start taking advantage of the resort earlier.
