We stayed two nights in a luxury overwater Bungalow as a treat at the end of our stay on Moorea. Everyone should do this at least once in their life, and Sofitel does it very well. The room is large and roomy and clean with a small glass viewing panel in the floor near the balcony and beautiful ocean views. A welcome bottle of champagne was waiting for us in the room and the beer, water, soft-drink in the mini-bar are included and replaced daily. The TV is large but has almost all French/Tahitian channels with only CNN in English and no option to show sub-titles, so we didn’t really use it. The bathroom is also large with a rain-head shower and a hand-held shower that was set too low to shower under. They supply shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, and soap as well as other amenities like toothbrush, shaving and vanity kit.
We were able to relax at the bar and make use of the facilities while we were waiting for our 2pm check-in.
The gardens and grounds are beautiful and the water fountain lights up in different colours at night.
Breakfast in the restaurant was good with an excellent selection of food and drinks.
The bar has tapas/snack options for food which were good. We did eat at the restaurant on our second night but found the food a bit ordinary and portions very small.
The staff at the resort were very friendly and helpful, nothing was ever too much trouble.
We would highly recommend Sofitel as a great place to stay at Moorea.
