Sofitel Kia Ora Moorea Beach Resort

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.

We were here for 5 days at the beginning of November. The place is amazing. We had an overwater bungalow. We had a nice welcome, but they don't distinguish between guests who are in the club and who are not. Of course, neither are the benefits. So the essence of Mariott bonvay club was lost to us. It wasn't until the first dinner that the waitress who served us explained it to us and brought us a voucher for a welcome cocktail. She said that we should have received this upon arrival. I don't know, somehow it doesn't work. There was also a problem with the beach towels. Many times they were not at the pool. The area is beautiful and quite extensive. Yes, some things deserve to be upgraded and modernized. Also, the air conditioner broke down in our bungalow, but we have to praise them for replacing it with a new one, and it was done quite quickly. However, this did not spoil our vacation. We fully enjoyed this beautiful world, both above and below water. The service and cleanliness was excellent. Food and drinks too. We experienced two wonderful gala evenings with a program and a lava grill ceremony. It was our first trip to French Polynesia and thanks to all of you at Kia Ora it was amazing. We are very far from you, but if we have the chance, we would like to come again.. Community Verified icon

Just returned from 7 nights at the Sofitel. The OWB was spacious and had a day bed where we could put stuff. There were also chairs to sit in. The bathroom was generously sized, and I liked that it had fresh air as my snorkeling clothes dried overnight, unusual for the tropics. The bed was comfortable. Food was good, though they could use more variety in the breakfast buffet. It was the same all 7 days. Nice to sit outside and look at the beautiful beach. Best of all was the snorkeling. We stayed in the 100 area, and I jumped into the water and was surrounded by many fish and beautiful coral. I spent hours in the water every day. They gave us late departure which was great as we had a 11:45 p.m. flight home. Our massages were the best ever, then we showered and headed for the ferry. Rough ride back. Glad I took Bonine! We will return.

The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff are helpful. The layout is good and the lagoon is easily accessible . The food and the restaurants, bars are good . We stayed here 9 1/2 years ago and got a bad impression. Weren't keen to come back but the travel agent said it was much improved . Did so apprehensively and were pleasantly surprised
