SOFITEL Kia Ora Moorea Beach Resort

Loved every moment of our 6 days here. We stayed in an overwater bungalow on the left, and it had incredible sunrise views. Everyone at the resort treated us as an honored guest. We brought plenty of our own snacks and never had to buy drinks because there were plenty supplied in the mini bar (we don't drink alcohol). I loved the tranquility of this place. Every part of the grounds was beautiful and peaceful. If you let them, they will take care of everything for you. I can't say enough good about this place. In retrospect, it may be too quiet for some, but then again, the whole island is probably like that. If you are looking for quiet and relaxing, you can't do better.

Our family was there 7/24-7/26. We stayed in the over water bungalows. I’m only giving this two stars because of how beautiful the property and bungalows are. But things quickly changed…our very first morning we woke up to several bungalows having a full remodel. Power drills, floor sanders and hammers. ALL day until 6:00pm. We contacted reception and they basically told us oh well they will be done by the evening. Forget naps, reading or just relaxing as expected. We understand property needs maintenance but they should inform their guests there will be construction going on especially when we paid so much money to be there. Our other issue was with the staff in the restaurant at breakfast. Very rude and the Buffet food was not great. If you are planning a trip there in the next few weeks we highly recommend calling the property first to see if they are still under construction.

Stayed in a luxury horizon overwater bungalow and highly recommend! Beautiful resort and amazing staff. Excellent snorkeling right off our deck (saw eagle rays on numerous occasions). Food was delicious - really enjoyed the Polynesian show and buffet. The canoe breakfast was amazing!! A wonderful stay.

Loved the overwater bungalow, nice veranda and quiet. Very spacious. Included breakfast which was excellent and included gluten-free bread for my celiac husband. Saw their Polynesian show with buffet and it too was excellent. We ate all our meals there and were very happy. Really enjoyed their All staff were friendly and helpful. Great spa treatments. Also had dinner at their K restaurant which was a highlight. Concierge Nathalie was particularly helpful and made our time better. Adelina stopped by while we were sitting in the lobby waiting for our room and explained a lot about local customs and culture. Fascinating. Absolutely no complaints.

My wife & I visited Sofitel Moorea for our honeymoon & we thoroughly enjoyed it! They provided us with transport to & from the ferry port at a very reasonable price. We received a very warm welcome from the staff at the front desk & were provided with a refreshing drink & face towel after our long journey to the Moorea. The resort itself is fantastic! The grounds are stunning. They have very much captured the tropical paradise feel. We visited the viewpoint whilst waiting for our room to be ready & it was incredible. I definitely recommend the short walk up there. Whilst exploring the resort we were made to feel very welcome by all the staff members we came across. They were all very accommodating & tended to our every need. The food & beverages were great! We really enjoyed the delicious variety at breakfast, particularly the omelette bar. The service we received was top class & everyone was very friendly. The bar staff really knew their drinks! I highly recommend the happy hour in which the cocktails were approximately half price & were very nice (particularly the pina colada in which they use real coconut ice cream!) We had a garden bungalow room which was spacious, clean & comfortable. A massive perk with this resort was they provided a free mini bar in the fridge which was refilled everyday throughout our stay. The mini bar included soft drinks, fruit juices, water & two cans of beers! It was the only resort we visited in French Polynesia which provided this service which we thought was a nice touch. There is a vast amount of activities available on the resort. They provide kayaks, paddle boats & snorkelling equipment. We used our own snorkelling equipment & was able to enjoy the abundance of coral & marine life that was just off the beach! The beach itself is a beautiful spot for both sunrises & sunsets. We particularly enjoyed the sunrises each morning. They were idyllic. I highly recommend the resort if visiting Moorea & we hope to visit it again someday!
