Sofitel Moorea Ia Ora Beach Resort

After touring the Tahiti islands aboard the Windstar cruise, I stayed in an overwater bungalow at the Sofitel Kia Ora Moorea. The suite was very spacious, extremely comfortable, and fully equipped with all the amenities to enjoy the stay to the fullest. The service was excellent overall, and it’s worth mentioning that much of the staff is trilingual (Tahitian, French, English). Compared to the rates of overwater bungalows at luxury hotels in Bora Bora, the Sofitel in Moorea offers better value for your money while boasting a beach just as beautiful as those in Bora Bora. Its beach club is very convenient, as it is the departure point for marine tours, and the staff there is extremely patient and friendly.

The whole resort was amazing and great views, no matter what direction you’re looking in ! The food was pretty good and as expected the seafood was super fresh. The only bad thing I could say is, when eating outside the birds can be a bit annoying lol

We have stayed here three times and every time, it is exceptional. Wonderful service and a beautiful property, especially the lagoon. We have stayed in a variety of rooms on the property and they are luxurious and well-kept. We can’t wait to come back!

Staying here for 3 nights were staying in a bungalow second row back you get amazing views even though its second row back the rooms are wonderful the staff does a good job on cleaning . The Breakfast buffet is excellent they have a chef who cooks pancakes and omelette to order. We did a private tour with Enjoy Moorea in a 4 x 4 its the best tour weve ever done and we travel a lot. Bring waterr shoes to go into the ocean its white sand with sharp bits of shell and coral. TV channels are mainly french one channel CNN who wants to watch news on vacation they have the ability to connect your phone to TV we were hopeful to do and get some netflix no it only works on Android phones.

Second time around, we stayed at the Sofitel, this year for 2 weeks. We had the most relaxing and perfect holiday again. From the morning with good coffee and a great breakfast buffet, it was always a good start with a Crepe. The chef there, is an icon and he can make a better day, of any day! We always had a talk to the lady in the garen, who was called Christine. The snorkelling is phenomenal. From Soft corals to large Tuna, you see everything. We snorkelled one hour in the morning and one in the afternoon, always on different spots. The food in the evening is just the best. I would recommend the parrot fish every day. A highlight was also seeing Tatiana, the manager of the bar again. 6 years ago, she was in the restaurant and presented me with a wonderfull flower headdress (without charge). The room we had was perfect as well, there would be minor reparations to be done, but it is really minimal. The resort also offered a trip to swim with the stingrays and shark. This was just the best. We even had the luck to see a whale with baby and some turtles. The knowledgeable guide explained us about the seashells and a lot about the island. We think of visiting again in July next year. We highly can recommend the Sofitel in Moorea. Go to get spoiled and return home really relaxed.
