We have been to many resorts and this tops the list.
Pros:

We loved the atmosphere of the Sofitel. The first thing we noticed was how calm it was and we recognized this throughout our stay. We totally relaxed while we were here. The grounds, the beach, our 'beach bungalow' everything was outstanding. Our bungalow had everything we needed. The indoor/outdoor shower was amazing. The bed very comfortable. We enjoyed our porch looking out at the ocean.

Cons:

I can't think of a thing we didn't like other than we didn't like that we had to leave.

Lovely beachfront property in Moorea
Pros:

Lovely property and we got a beach front bungalow. The room was spacious and kept clean. Lots of room for bags and clothes. The shower was great and the bathroom had the required amenities. The dive centre provided fins and snorkels and they had a great looking property

Cons:

The beach had some strong currents so I was a bit scared on two days. I was disappointed that they did not include breakfast for us due to a glitch in changing dates in the Booking.com system

Nice but a lot of lessons learned
Pros:

Great snorkeling - nice staff - beautiful rooms and villas

Cons:

Mosquitos at the main dinner site (need citronella candles). No points on my Accor account if booked through booking.com. Much more benefits directly to Accor members - I regret booking through Booking.com

Muy bien y bonito aunque falta pulir instalaciones y servicio
Pros:

El hotel tiene acceso privado a la mejor playa de toda la isla, el snorkel allí es increíble.

Atención del personal y el desayuno muy bueno.

Cons:

El hotel está algo viejo, ahora lo están reformando pero el precio sigue siendo muy alto por lo antiguo que está.

Siendo un hotel de este nivel y estando a 5 minutos del puerto (donde llegas con el ferry desde tahiti) no les costaría nada tener un transfer gratuito (creo que es lo mínimo en un hotel de 5 estrellas) y más teniendo en cuenta los precios de los taxis. Además, pedimos un taxi en la recepción del hotel y nos derivamos a los que organizan tours del hotel y estos nos cobraban más que un taxi de la calle, lo que tendrían que haber hecho es llamar a un taxi.

Wunderbar für Schnorchler!
Pros:

Wunderschönes Riff zum schnorcheln

Cons:

Alles etwas in die Tage gekommen, Zimmer kann man nicht dicht schliessen, dass keine Mücken rein kommen. Bedienung sehr langsam und vergesslich. Pedro war super! Schlechte, dünne Strandtücher. Wenige Sonnenliegen. Beachfront Bungalows sind nicht direkt vorne am Wasser. Sonne verschwindet bereits ab 16:00 Uhr hinter dem Berg. Alles nicht sehr sauber. Pool sehr kalt.
