SOFITEL KIA ORA MOOREA BEACH RESORT

Sofitel is a great property. Very kind staff. They make you feel so comfortable. A lot of great deals and vouchers. Will be back for sure.

Grounds & beach area are nice. Our room was clean however we got ants in our room and didn’t even get to enjoy the cookies they left in our room. Then resort has bathrooms in lobby area and they were negligent in leaving a doorknob that was razor sharp that should have been replaced. 1st day we arrived i noticed tape around doorknob. Next day the tape had been removed as i turned doorknob to lock it it split my finger open to wear it bleed. Front desk only had a small first aid kit. Spoke to manager day we left resort and he didn’t seem to care and just ask if i had a good time. We were originally booked at the hilton but because of construction we had booked instead at the sofitel. Wish i had stuck to the Hilton.

Snorkeling straight off the bungalow was amazing! Clear waters and amazing views. The customer service was incredible! Rooms might need a bit of TLC, but hardly noticeable with everything else being so amazing! We would stay again

We stayed in an Oceanview bungalow which was right on the water to the far right of the resort. It was a very nice view and the room itself was nice. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was very big. Our view was mostly over the water with a the overwater bungalows slightly blocking our view to the left. The same bungalows to the left of us would have had their view almost completely blocked by the overwater bungalows.

For the most part our bungalow was very quiet and private. Except that construction was going on by the water just one bungalow away. We could see about 4 workers and a tractor working on the shoreline everyday from around 8am-4pm. It was loud and probably is something this resort should warn you of. If you had any of the bungalows to the right of us it would have really been disturbing and would have been right in front of your room. For the cost, they shouldn't rent the ones out right by the construction until it's done (ours was probably ok to rent as it was far enough away, but still loud if sitting on your deck).

The breakfast buffet wasn't too bad, the omelet/egg made-to-order station was the best part. A lot of variety of juices. Some pastries but honestly could have used more variety there. The other hot food wasn't the best, we didn't eat much of that. We ate lunch at the resort once and it was just ok - not worth the price we paid for what we got (which was just a croque monsieur which really wasn't what it was supposed to be). Still there was enough at breakfast to keep us full until later in the day.

The staff at the resort are very nice - by far this is the best part of the resort. They are very friendly and always willing to do anything they can to help you out. In general most of the people in Tahiti are very friendly but the resort was exceptional in this case.

The Hilton is on the other side of Moorea and probably in a better spot with more stores/restaurants around. So a car is helpful if you stay here (if you want to explore the island). But this makes it quieter which we liked. The Hilton also looked way more busy so probably would have been a lot louder than the Sofitel Overall this resort is very nice. It's expensive, but it is Tahiti where everything is expensive (and has gotten more so the past few years).

J'avais un bungalow qui donnait directement sur la plage, face à Tahiti : c'était splendide ! Le personnel est très attentionné, le lagon est très beau avec plein de poisson à voir avec un masque et un tuba. Le restaurant K propose un diner en 5 ou 7 plats très raffinés, on s'est régalé. Le buffet du petit-déjeuner est très varié. Il y a plein d'animations polynésiennes très sympa.
