Coming from the (amazing) sofitel Moorea overwater bungalow, we had a garden bungalow waiting for us here. The boat trip from the airport to the hotel was a classic, only me, my wife and the very nice sailor, a very nice and communicative white blond guy (sorry don't remember the name) that made sure to introduce to us all the...

We spent three nights, two in a hillside room and one in an over-water bungalow on the private island. The over-water experience was delightful. There was even a window in the floor to watch the fish at night. The bungalow was very large, very luxurious. My favorite experience, however, had more to do with the hotel's private island location, which... More

We chose bora bora for our honeymoon and were quite scared about staying at the Sofitel as we had heard some quite bad reports. When we got there we were blown away.
