Nice pleasant staff. Building could do with an upgrade, otherwise no issues and we would stay again for sure.

The Sofitel Tahiti was a elcome sight after arriving from New Zealand in the middle of the night. Even though there was a mistake in the booking our requested room was available and soft pillow was welcome. The room was a Junior suite with views towards Moorea Island. The bathroom was somewhat small but it had all the necessities. At... More

The hotel is very clean, friendly staff & comfortable. The beds were quite small & sheets a bit stiff, but clean with nice bathroom/shower.

We spent 8 hours at this hotel after returning from 11 nights on a Paul Gauguin cruise. The best I can say, is that it was nice to have a place to rest. However, the poor air conditioning made it very difficult to rest comfortably in 30+ degree temps. We switched rooms because we thought the air con wasn't working... More

We stayed here just after leaving the Paul Gauguin 11 night cruise. We were given a day room from 1-8pm to hang out before our 11pm flight to LAX. It was great to have a bed and a shower, the pool was very nice but the beach area was disappointing compared to the clear water we experienced on our cruise.... More

We stayed here overnight on our way home from the outer islands. It was close to the airport for our early morning flight and the price was good. Although we’d hoped to spend a few hours in Papeete in the afternoon, our flight from Bora Bora was delayed and we no longer had time to go to town. We hadn’t... More

My husband and I spent one night here before going to Bora Bora. The hotel was nice and so was the staff. Breakfast was also very good. The only awful thing was the bed was so uncomfortable. Sleeping on the floor would have been softer. Your bones dig into the "mattress" which caused both of us to wake up in... More

My wife booked 2 nights here based on some lovely photos of the hotel (which had artistic licence as they didn't actually show the concrete box of a hotel, just some nice bits like the pool / restaurant) The hotel rooms were ok but long corridors, impersonal and corporate design and absolutely no character was what we found. Expensive pool... More

Dear Sir, Thank you for letting us know your feeling about your stay at Sofitel Tahiti. It seems you did not like the island and we are sorry for that. Tahiti has charms that are located mostly on the interior of the island, unlike its sister islands. We are glad your holidays in Moorea went well and are looking forward... More
