Sofitel Kia Ora Moorea Beach Resort

Spectacular resort. Prior to arriving in Moorea, we stayed at the Bora Bora Intercontinental. We preferred the Sofitel. The Intercontinental was more luxurious and more recently renovated, but that luxury comes with formality and stiffness. Like the Intercontinental, the Sofitel offers overwater bungalows, several dining options, and extensive water and land excursions. It is a more relaxed place and the staff seemed genuinely friendly and interested in engaging guests in conversation. Snorkeling from the bungalows at Sofitel is far superior to the Intercontinental and the Sofitel also has a superior beach. The Sofitel snorkeling trip with underwater scooters was a highlight of our trip. The Sofitel offers opportunities to partake in activities in Moorea like an excellent dinner at Rudi’s while one is captive at the Intercontinental. The Sofitel offered live entertainment each night in the restaurant and two Polynesian shows a week while the Intercontinental offered only one Polynesian show a week. .And the Sofitel costs half as much as the Intercontinental!

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.
