Sofitel Moorea Ia Ora Beach Resort

Snorkeling facilities

Resort said water was perfectly safe to drink yet when we asked for tap water at restaurant the waitress said they didnt have any? What do they wash dishes in then? This appeared to be just money grab to sell bottled water? Rest of world H2O free

On one of Moorea's most beautiful beaches, in a wonderful park, extremely cozy bungalows with good snorkeling facilities!

Compared to its classification and price, the half-hour check-in and queuing is quite ridiculous... The staff had to be told to at least get a clean glass during the queue, so that you can drink from the displayed water... The overpriced dinner is so unpalatable.

The only thing good about this property is the location which is then spoilt by the presence of this hotel!

The place needs knocking down and building from the ground up. Everything is filthy it isnt quaint or authentic when it isnt at least clean. Often with reviews people will say the hotel is bad but the staff were great sadly that is not the case here. Everything is poor you have been warned!

Hotel was beautiful. We stayed in the land cottages overlooking the overwater bungalows. We could snorkel right off our rooms. The rooms were amazing - very large, and could easily sleep 3 - even though we had 3 rooms booked. The breakfast that was included was very good - especially one of their chefs who made daily omelettes and crepes for us, and also was very personable and would make jokes etc. Dinner was great at the restaurant as well and they had live music on most nights. It was not as large as the Hilton, which we visited during our stay, and felt more personable and cozy, and not crowded at all - except during peak breakfast hours. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The best part was that you could snorkel right off the beach or from your rooms and see fish.

The pool was nice, but ok. the only other thing I did not love was the beach restaurant/bar - it had a limited menu and was open only for a few hours during the day.

Gorgeous location. Over water bungalow was beautiful.

The food quality and service were subpar for such a highly rated and expensive hotel.

Very comfortable

Same as any Pacific resort.
