Magical Mountain

Potential for a fantastic resort. Beautiful location, and probably was at one time a top notch facility. It is dated and has evidence of wear. For the prices charged , the qualtiy of both the service and food is generally acceptable, but just average. Maybe because I was traveling solo, as I got a vibe it was not normal to see that at their resort, but a couple other solo travelers and couples said the same thing. It was a last minute booking, so not much esle was available, and is my first trip to Tahiti so I may be over-expecting service and food. Nonetheless, I would stay again in a pinch but wouldnt be a first choice.

We stayed here during our honeymoon for 3 nights in a beach front bungalow. Can’t recommend this place enough. This was our 2nd favorite lodging during our trip where we stayed at 7 different lodgings (only behind one of the 5 star resorts on bora bora). If we visited again we would choose Sofitel again over the other resorts on Moorea offering OWBs. The staff was incredibly friendly our entire time there, and all food options come highly recommended. Do not be cheap and avoid the resort breakfast - it is well worth it. The room was very clean & we had easy access to the nearby lagoon where we had some of the best casual snorkeling of our trip. One of our highlights at Sofitel was the beach front romance dinner through restaurant K - we were picked up from our bungalow at our reservation time & dropped back off after. We also had an amazing spa session while there. The only downside for the short term is part of the property was beginning renovations when we were leaving (including the spa moving to a smaller location on site with potentially more limited offerings) in late October. Overall we would 100% stay at Sofitel in the future again.

We had such a wonderful experience! My partner and I got engaged during our stay, and everything was made so special. We really appreciated the flowers everywhere we went!
