SOFITEL Kia Ora Moorea Beach Resort 5 stars

We stayed in January 2021. The resort is beautiful with pristine grounds. The staff there stays on top of every fallen leaf it seems. Lots of pretty flowering plants and trees. The beach is really second to none. Only one restaurant was open due to fewer people staying, no doubt due to Covid. The staff at the restaurant were exceptional, especially Jean Marc, Lucinda and Stephanie. Always pleasant and attentive and greeted us by name. They even remembered what we liked for breakfast (which were always very good). Dinners were not as satisfying. Frankly, the meals were very over-priced and not too good, especially considering the prices. We stayed away after having dinner there the first night. We loved our over-water bungalow. It was very spacious and comfortable. The staff went out of their way to decorate it with beautiful flowers for our anniversary. They also supplied a nice bottle of champagne. It was a very special place that we will always remember fondly.

The location and nature surrounding the resort speaks for itself of course. Anything would look beautiful. But the resort itself was amazing and beautiful too. We had an overwater bungalow overlooking the water and coral. We swam beneath our bungalow and around the area everyday. The bungalows were also very accommodating and stylish from the floor window to view fish, the vaulted roof, complementary monoi oils, hairdryer, yoga mat, etc. My husband and I felt taken care of. Not to mention all of the grounds, gardens and plants are gorgeous. I love plants and greenery, they really help to make the place feel luxurious and exotic. All the tiare, frangipani, and the giant breadfruit tree and many more! Lastly, the staff were all very polite, sweet and informative. The staff helped arranged many things like activities and taxis for us. The diveshop guys are great and we had an fun scuba tour. Overall, my trip was both romantic and lots of adventure! I would absolutely come back and stay again.

Great vacation on this beautiful island, overwater bungalow was beautiful, overall very happy with this hotel.

We stayed 5 days and 4 nights in the overwater bungalow. We wish all of the restaurants were open but we understand that COVID restricted this. We also wish room service was available prior to 6pm but also not a big deal. Room was very clean and accessible. Bathroom sinks were a little tight for 2 sinks other than that very nice shower. Room got hot at times but tried ceiling fan, air conditioner and cross ventilation from outside.

We stayed in an over water bungalow that was truly perfect. The room was pristine and the staff was so welcoming and sweet. We loved the champagne waiting for us in our room! The food was very good and had a large variety to choose from. Overall a perfect time!!

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay with the Sofitel resort. Everyone was very friendly, and despite the unfortunate weather, we were still able to enjoy a lot of the amenities. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Moorea. Thank you so much and until next time!

We loved our overwater bungalow, it was perfect! Everything was exceptional inside. The snorkeling around it was amazing! The food however was not the best, and not 5 stars as we were hoping.

We had the best vacation at the Sofitel Kia Ora and cannot wait to come back. The resort was lovely as were all the staff. We took advantage of swimming off of our bungalow every day. We enjoyed every meal (and beverage!). The spa was so relaxing. My friends and I have traveled to several countries and islands. This was our favorite experience by far. Thank you so much!

The property is old and tired. It need a renovation. The staff is not well trained. Not very courteous. The breakfast experience was fair or poor. The hotel does not compare well to other properties we stayed at in Tahiti during our trip.

Great hotel. The bungalows were in really good shape. The beach is really beautiful. Also, great food. Our favorite part was the Dive Shop. The half-day snorkeling tour through their contractor (Moorea Water Games) was the highlight of our 14-day honeymoon in French Polynesia.

The staff went above and beyond to make sure are stay was as good as possible.

The visit was okay. Underwhelming as staff and food (especially breakfast) was inconsistent.

Amazing stay “over the water bungalow”. Staff excellent! Accommodations excellent! Tropical fish excellent! Restaurant excellent! Location excellent! Activities excellent!

Staff, facilities and rooms were amazing!!! Such a great experience and stay!

Everything was perfect. The resort is beautiful, the rooms are well appointed and the staff is amazing. One of the best places we have stayed in a while. The snorkeling on the outer reef about 200 yards from shore is a must. Well done, thank you for having us.
