Beautiful hotel. Some areas are getting a little old looking but they are planning to go under renovation soon. The beach is beautiful. The pool area is a little small but still nice.
Friendly staff, great food and excellent customer service.

The property is nice but it's dated. The location is wonderful. However like all of the island your food options are very expensive and limited. The hotel staff are fantastic but the property is getting long in the tooth.
The resort was clean and absolutely beautiful. I stayed in an overwater bungalow. The service was impeccable. The view was better than you could possibly imagine.

Quick check in, room upgrade with ocean view.
Staff extremely friendly and accommodating.
Great customer service!
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.
Wonderful location
Very comfortable and private
Easy access to lagoon and activities
Good to see active coral reef restoration, which gave opportunity to view many different tropical fish
The most beautiful location anywhere above water. Underwater took a snorkeling scooter tour that was amazing: awesome colorful coral, reef fish, turtle and ray. Also enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding in the idyllic lagoon.
Wonderful for snorkeling (and we did a lot of snorkeling in the world) and also a relaxing vacation. Food was also good and staff was professional.
The room is ok but ocean view buggalow is not ocean view when they do not trim the plants/trees. We could barely see the ocean.
Perfect hotel in paradise. Best snorkeling and beach on Moorea right out in front. Easy access to the ferries. The grounds are well kept and breathtakingly beautiful. Exceeded my expectations!
The hotel and the property are beautiful. All the "rooms" are bungalows right on the beach, and the bungalow was large and beautifully done. You can swim/snorkel right from the beach. The pool is also nice. Food in the restaurant is great, and the staff is wonderful.
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 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.
