Independent - accommodation in Moorea

Loved our stay in a premium OTW bungalow. Amazing swimming in deep warm water. Good snorkeling. There were kayaks, paddle boards and snorkeling gear available for use by the guests for free. Staff were very friendly, kind and provided great service. Food in the restaurant was ok, cocktails and drinks were better. Overall, good value and some of the best swimming we’ve experienced straight off our bungalow.

My husband and I booked a garden room with a private pool, and we loved the privacy and comfort. The check in staff member as not too happy on our arrival, but her mood did not affect our stay. I would recommend this property to anyone traveling to Moorea. Next time I would like to stay at an over water room. It must be amazing to check out the ocean life during the night.

We stayed in three different bungalows. Our favorite was the beach view just west of the overwater rooms. You're steps from the beach and that glorious water but away from minimal crowds. Our least favorite was the ocean view to the east of the overwaters. The overwater bungalows are directly in front of you and the water. There's no beach to speak of here and the water is almost too shallow to swim in. Staff overall was very friendly and helpful. The main attraction for the Sofitel is the water. Amazing snorkeling, incredible wildlife, and never too busy.
