We spent four nights at the Sofitel in early January 2013. We stayed in an over water bungalow room 110. The bungalows were well set apart and nicely furnished, though we thought it could have done with a sofa in the room to aid relaxation when it was raining. We had a delux overwater bungalow (which are the bungalows on the righthand side looking from the beach). We had morning sun and afternoon shade on the deck which was a blessing as it was very hot, and we were lucky with the weather only having on rainy morning during our stay. The aircon in the room is fairly noisey so be prepared. There is direct access off the deck to the lagoon which was fantastic, the lagoon is full of tropical fish and we could snorkle from our deck right around the lagoon. The odd number bungalows would have the afternoon sun if that is what you want, the lagoon looked shallower on that side though and all day snorkling wouldn't be possible I think. We thought the best rooms would be at the end of the pier which would be rooms, 118, 119, 120 if you have a choice, these would offer you great views over to the main Island as well as not looking across at other bungalows.
The beach was fantastic with azure blue water and white soft sand. The beach front bungalows looked very nice too. The water sports hut was run by really cheerful guys who were really helpful. We hired a couple of bikes one day to ride into the village and it was a pleasant easy ride. We also hired a car for an afternoon and drove around the Island, this was a lovely experience and one we would like to do again and take our time.
The food at the resort was good but pricey, we didn't have breakfast most mornings, the one morning we did go, the buffet was looking very depleted so we just ordered an omelette which was very good.
There is no free wifi at this resort, though some cafe's on Moorea do offer it.

This was most beautiful Hotel that I have ever seen, Bungalows everywhere. The beach was beautiful and peaceful. Great place to snorkel, water is crystal clear. Great for couples.
Would love to go back everything was so clean.

This hotel is amazing! Each room is its own building, whether your on the ground or over the water. We stayed in both a luxary beach bungalow, as well as a regular over-the-water bungalow. Both rooms were amazing, but the luxary units are REALLY amazing. In fact, I modeled a reconstruction of my house based on the bedroom/bathroom setup. Not only were the rooms great, but the grounds are incredibly well kept and beautiful. We actually chose this hotel because Frommer suggeted that it was on the most beautiful beach on the island and those people were right! The white sandy beaches and blue waters is what we are still looking for everytime we travel to the Caribbean/Central America, but that cannot be duplicated. Snorkeling is the most exciting I have ever experienced. The staff was extremely nice and helpful as well, and everyone spoke English well. The reason you go to a beach destination is for the beach and this resort has the best beach experience possible in my opinion.

We spent 3 weeks in Tahiti, on 4 different Islands, for our honeymoon. I loved every moment of our stay at the Sofitel. We had an OWB with one of the glass squares in the floor. The food is so good and the presentation is beautiful. The beach is lovely (most of the beaches in Tahiti are). We rented a car for the day and drove around the island... so glad we did. We found great reviews of restaurants on TripAdvisor and went to a few, got pearl earrings and a neckless, and went on a ATV tour. Very fun!
