"We stayed in three different bungalows. Our favorite was the beach view just west of the overwater rooms. You're steps from the beach and that glorious water but away from minimal crowds. Our least favorite was the ocean view to the east of the overwaters. The overwater bungalows are directly in front of you and the water. There's no beach to speak of here and the water is almost too shallow to swim in. Staff overall was very friendly and helpful. The main attraction for the Sofitel is the water. Amazing snorkeling, incredible wildlife, and never too busy. "

"We stayed in an overwater bungalow. The property shows some signs of wear but was very comfortable -- and you can't beat the location. So much fun to walk outside and drop into the water!"

"Room is neat and modern; good layout. Bed is really comfy. Right out front is a good pool that I didn't use but I did do lots of snorkeling right out front of that which was excellent. Lots of coral and fish and some turtles too. Nice restaurant on site but we had a car and tried a bunch of the nearby ones also which were also great."

"This house is in a great location to things to do on the island. The house is absolutely stunning and was very clean. It’s true there is a steep driveway but it’s short and our little rental car did just fine. I would stay here again! "

"Staff generally very friendly and helpful. Location is great. Food was good. Our room was clean and comfortable."

"The hotel has bungalows and the restaurant is on the water. It is located directly on the beach in a very nice bay. The restaurant is very good but breakfast is too expensive for the food offered. You need a car to reach it from the airport or the harbor, and to move around the island. No public transportation and taxis are quite expensive."

"Overall, I liked it, but there are some small nuances. Clean house, no foreign smells, everything you need, the store is quite close. The water is mostly always clean and transparent, although the current sometimes brings natural debris. The bottom at the entrance to the ocean is shallow 20 inches, and it gets deeper very smoothly. The water temperature was always warm, didn't require adaptation to the temperature. The first week of April is already rainless. Quite hot 28-30C. We did not use the air conditioner, there was almost always a fresh breeze from the ocean. The beds are comfortable, but the pillows are quite large. You can swim with a snorkel, there are many reefs and small fish, I saw stingray a couple of times. The disadvantages are not critical: 1. the red floor covering outside instantly sticks to your feet and shoes, you had to constantly wash the floor and feet. The paint is easily washed off. 2. Sometimes the gardener came and worked in the house on the left. Fishermen live in the house on the right, nice people, usually at 9 am they sail away to fish and can be in the visibility zone for about 30 minutes. Sometimes they come back in the dark, but they never made noise. 3. Sometimes small lizards no more than 2 inches and crab crawled into the kitchen (I uploaded the video to google maps). Do not leave food in the kitchen so as not to attract them. There were mosquitoes at this time of year. 4. The shower is outside, and there are no curtains ."

"Our stay here was amazing! The neighborhood is great, dont miss Moorea Treasure gift shop just a few doors down and Caramel'in cafe across the street is unforgettable and may be the saddest part of going home as their pastries are beyond delicious! The ability to snorkle right off the dock and the stargazing from the pool was truly an unforgettable experience. "

"Small but charming bungalows enclose a refreshing pool only 50ft from the beach. Owners are kind and friendly (so are their dogs) and the staff is incredibly pleasant. Expect a dominantly French-speaking clientele, an expectation of quiet and respectful conduct, and otherwise generally European sensibility. We enjoyed the simple continental breakfast, but if you’re someone who likes a big buffet of meat and eggs or wants to stay up partying around the pool then look elsewhere."
