ソフィテルキアオラモーレアビーチリゾート 5 つ星

Our stay at Sofitel Kia Ora Moorea Beach Resort on Moorea was the best part of our French Polynesian trip. The location is excellent and the views were stunning. Even though we had quite a bit of rain during our 4 night stay, we found much to do. The snorkeling was fun, our private little pool at our bungalow was a definite plus (no kids), and we went on a two tank scuba dive right in the lagoon. Other items worth mentioning are the cultural classes available at the resort. We took advantage of some of them and our instructor, Tau Aro, made all the difference. We are very appreciative of the dance lessons he provided us. My wife and I had a great time, even though the moves and techniques were difficult, Tau was so encouraging and made it fun. I am personally quite introverted and would normally not even want to participate in such classes. But he helped me come out of my shell. We also took a language diction class with Tau on one of the rainy days. It was so much fun, we didn’t mind the rain. To hear the history of the Tahitian language and the respect he showed when sharing the rules, it was an encouragement to our hearts. My wife wrote a letter to Tau and said, "We have raised many children, and we would be thrilled to have you teach our kids that same respect for the culture here on Moorea." I happily recommend these classes to anyone. We also adventured out from Sofitel Kia Ora on a personal excursion. Because of the rainy weather, we opted to rent a car instead of scooters to get around the island. We started by doing a little shopping at some local shops, gotta have those souvenirs, and then made our way up to Belvedere Lookout. A must stop for those who want to see the beautiful nature of Moorea in a grand scale. Afterward, we drove all the way around the island. It's small so it only took a little over an hour, even with stops for photos and more shopping. This is truly a getaway worth the trip. Make it happen.

We spent 5 nights here at the end of Feb and had a superb time. The resort was full so unfortunately as Accor Plus Gold we weren't able to be upgraded. In saying that though, the resort never felt busy which made the entire stay super relaxing. The Accor Plus card is a massive benefit, French Polynesia is pricey but this significantly reduced our meal spend dining as a couple. The food was surprisingly good! Buffet Breakfast was vast, as was the Polynesian night buffet (highly recommend that one!) Overall probably 8.5/10 for the food. We had an issue with the GF order (my wife being Coeliac). This was bought to the attention of management who were understanding and professional, promptly apologizing and rectifying. The resort itself, the setting is unreal. Having that lagoon that was so clear, clean and beautiful right at your feet is so so good. This made for amazing snorkeling, at the base of the mountains with white sand beaches. The place is just paradise. We hadn't felt that relaxed in years. Special mention to Teopo'o at the beach bar, she was lovely and provided us personalised and friendly service throughout our stay. Finally the room, we had a great one with the beach at the doorstep. It was large, had a beautiful bathroom and a really comfy bed. Yes, it is a little dated and could do with a refresh but with the amount of time you're actually spending outside in the amazing setting, it was definitely not an issue for us. Overall, we would HIGHLY recommend this place. French Polynesia is awesome. Cannot wait to return some day.

This hotel is so run down for one of the best on the island. Our bathroom mirror is cracked and rusty, the mirrors have rust and grime in them, the shower handle is old, the beach loungers need to be washed, etc. The restaurant is SO overpriced it’s a joke so ensure you eat offsite (alot of restaurants will pick you up in a shuttle). We went to Bora Bora before and I wish nothing more that we stayed there and skipped Moorea. I had high hopes for this island but honestly regret coming here. Also be prepared if you have a garden bungalow for the worst sleep of your life. I was up all night listening to chickens cockadoodledooing, as well as traffic since our room is under the main road. Stay at the Hilton or skip altogether. Defs ruined the last part of our honeymoon and we sadly have 4 days left!

We loved this resort. We splurged on the over-water bungalows for 2 nights. So so beautiful and luxurious. We got a luxury bungalow for my father-in-law which was enormous and had lovely amenities. My husband and I stayed with our older son in a superior bungalow which was smaller than the luxury but still plenty roomy. The king bed was enormous, the 3 of us honestly could have slept in the one bed, though there was an extra twin bed in the room so our son could have his own bed. The rooms included pod coffee maker (surprisingly tasty coffee) and kettle to heat up water. There were thick comfy bathrobes, slippers, the usual soap/shampoo. All the mini-fridge drinks are included and re-filled every day. The luxury room included a bottle of champagne. Each room had a patio with gorgeous views. Ours facing northeast had nice shade in the afternoon and the view of the water breaking in the reef barrier was mesmerizing. My FIL’s view to the south was too sunny for him but he had amazing coral gardens right outside the bungalow. All the overwater bungalows include private entry into the lagoon which was amazing. They also have outdoor shower so you can rinse off. We went snorkeling twice a day. We had one breakfast, lunch, and dinner each during our stay at the Pure restaurant. The breakfast was buffet style with an omelette station. Filling though pricey. The lunch and dinner were tasty though smallish portions and pricey. You can’t really walk to any restaurant except maybe one food truck on the public beach next to the property. Overall, I would gladly stay here again, it was a memorably luxurious experience.

This is a place to stay longer, no need to go to the Island of Bora Bora. The accommodation is very clean, we had a bungalow at the the water front. There are also Bungalows over the water available. Cristal clear water. Great snorkeling, gear is provided at the activity centre. The service is very warm and friendly. How do I get there, very simple take a ferry ride (recommend the fast ferry) from Tahiti. Than a Taxi for a very short drive to the Hotel. The Island, it takes one hour to drive around the island. There some spectacular Bay, you will never forget in your live. Also recommend to use an e-bike The breakfast and Dinner is excellent with a french flair. There are also some restaurant near by, some will pick you up free of charge. This Hotel is one of the best, a trip of a lifetime. Well done.
