Schöne Anlage mit nicht so guter Küche
Pros:

Sehr schöne Anlage mit schönem Strand. Der Park ist fast ein botanischer Garten.

Cons:

Die Küche entspricht leider nicht der Kategorie. Das abendliche Buffet war eine Zumutung für 110 €. Im Strandlokal wollten wir uns einen Lobstersalat gönnen, Das war ein Obstsalat mit kleinen Spuren von Lobster für 45 €.
Das kleine Spezialitätenrestaurant war gut, aber mit homöopathischen Portionen.
Aufpassen sollte man unbedingt, was von der Kreditkarte abgebucht wird. Wir haben den Aufenthalt zweimal bezahlt, einmal bei der Ankunft und einmal bei der Abreise. Die Rückbuchung erforderte mehrere Telefonate und Emails ūber mehrere Tage.

Stupendo
Pros:

La struttura è tenuta benissimo e si affaccia su una delle più belle baie dell’isola. I bungalow sulla spiaggia sono molto grandi e accoglienti. Il personale è davvero gentile.

Cons:

Le piastrelle della doccia si staccavano, un po’ pericoloso con un bimbo piccolo. Il personale è davvero molto gentile ma un po’ lento e disorganizzato

Une résidence de rêve
Pros:

Nous avons séjourné dans un bungalow sur pilotis, magnifiquement décoré et équipé. L'accueil a été remarquable à tous points de vue, du collier de fleurs à l'arrivée, à la bouteille de champagne dans la chambre, accompagnée d'un coffret rempli de cadeaux. Le mini-bar était disponible à discrétion. Le personnel a été d'une amabilité et d'une gentillesse extrêmes, et la qualité des repas était exquise. Le petit déjeuner (inclus) était hors norme, d'un niveau rarement vu. Que demander de plus ?

Cons:

Nous y retournerions sans hésiter, aucun regret, ni aucune critique. Tout était parfait.

We were happy with the hotel although it only really had one restaurant - a bit monotonous.
Pros:

The villa, the restaurant, the pillows 🤩

Cons:

I didn’t like the excursions very much. The snorkeling was ok, but the safari was dangerous at times and too commercial. The whale watching with Quentin and Maeva wasn’t at all what we expected.

Amazing Snorkelling, Beautiful Hotel
Pros:

Excellent location ! Superb snorkelling just off beach . Great dive centre ! Do the underwater scooter ! Unbelievable! Accommodation excellent . We went for the beach huts . Loved it . Great bar ! Very helpful concierge who sorted our flights for Bora Bora .

Cons:

Well on our first night went for Buffett with Polynesian show . Terrible food and expensive . On the whole food could be better , even the crepes had been pre down 15 min before and kept warm , but superb burger ! Also the turndown service , was a bit of a joke when they came at 5.30 and as you were probably getting ready for dinner would give you a card saying goodnight and give you 2 tea bags of camomile tea . Why bother !

Unglaubliche Lage mit toller Lagune
Pros:

Die renovierten Overwater-Bungalows, die Auswahl am Frühstück, die Anlage vom Hotel & die Lagune vor dem Hotel

Cons:

Personal insgesamt sehr freundlich, jedoch mussten hin und wieder sehr lange warten bis wir bedient wurden. Die Qualität vom Restaurant ist in Ordnung, aber nicht herausragend.

Pros:

Bella la spiaggia, mare meraviglioso pieno di coralli e pesci colorati. Camera ampia e confortevole. Bella la struttura. Buona e varia la cucina.

Cons:

Galli e galline in giro per il giardino e la spiaggia. Gatto in giro per il ristorante. Non credo sia accettabile in una struttura come questa.

Great hotel, perfect location and excellent service!
Pros:

Newly renovated rooms. Looking very very nice. The corals around the rooms were great for snorkeling.
The people working at the hotel were great, always friendly and delivering great service.
Due to unexpected windy weather a swimming with whales tour was cancelled. The concierge managed to find us an alternative tour the day after our arrival which turned to be a total success. 10 Points for the Sofitel Kia Ora Moorea Beach Resort.

Cons:

Nothing. Everything was great!
