Love, love, love this place. Even though it was a little dated, the rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. There were only a few problems. The Wifi was very iffy but I was able to connect at least once a day. The showers had some mold. The sliding door to the deck was very hard to open and close.... More

After staying at Le Meridien Bora Bora for seven days the Sofitel Private island was great only two things could make it better [ path to snorkeling area could be improved and kayaks could be provided]

The view from the path over looking the snorkeling area is amazing and almost all the bungalows have a great view. We did a lot of research and price comparison and we really think we got the best...

My husband loves to snorkel. He had that the place to do so is around the sofitel private island. Indeed it's true. So after our 5 night stay at the St Regis in bora bora, he wanted to spend a night here to take a full snorkeling day. Bungalows are not nearly as sophisticated, big and nice as the ones... More

The resort itself was absolutely beautiful. The rooms were nice and we had a front row seat to the sunrise every morning. The water and the snorkeling were amazing just around the island. The staff was very pleasant and always helpful. The a/c in our room did not work well and added to the humidity, luckily the breeze coming through... More
