Find Hotel with a Concierge in Vai'anae

"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. "

"We stayed in an overwater bungalow. The property shows some signs of wear but was very comfortable -- and you can't beat the location. So much fun to walk outside and drop into the water!"

"This is a very affordable place, love the staff! Great people. "

"Everything & everyone was amazing. I had 3 massages all were amazing, Steve I’m guessing he’s the activity coordinator. So pleasant and helpful. I wasn’t to crazy with our room shower took a little too much to figure out but the other showers changing room & spa were great. The room itself was very comfortable. The only bump which we were made aware was the construction on the pool but really not that big of a deal except for the view from the restaurant but not a deal breakers. It’s going to be beautiful when completed. Wonderful people, great location. It’s paradise. Mauraruuru "

"The guests service were very friendly and polite. "

"Staff generally very friendly and helpful. Location is great. Food was good. Our room was clean and comfortable."

"The hotel has bungalows and the restaurant is on the water. It is located directly on the beach in a very nice bay. The restaurant is very good but breakfast is too expensive for the food offered. You need a car to reach it from the airport or the harbor, and to move around the island. No public transportation and taxis are quite expensive."

"Moorea sunset beach exceeded our expectations! It was such a beautiful spot to stay, the accommodations were clean, comfortable and right on the beach. The lagoons were beautiful and a wonderful spot for swimming, snorkelling and watching sunsets. The kayak rentals were right beside on the beach and it was a short trip to the small islands nearby. The pier was also fun to walk along and see the tropical fish swimming below. Overall, the best spot to stay for beach access, swimming, snorkeling and beauty. "

"Positives: - spacious bedrooms - spacious kitchen for guest use - parking onsite - deck to sit out on Negatives: - very difficult to find. Need signage out front - photos of room during booking process a bit deceptive. Shows bathroom, leading one to think you room has a private one. It doesnt. - host not responsive pre-stay via Expedia; must WA him - host not engaging - host was to have lent me a bike so I could cycle back the 16km rom returning my rental car. I told him what time I needed to leave by, and asked if he could help load the bike into the car. Well he was a ''no-show' and instead was out shopping. Not reliable. At least he apologized. - there is no swimming beach at this location - nowhere comfortable outside to sit and enjoy the view. Only a picnic bench, which gets wets when raining - no amenities in area - description states kayaks and bikes available for loan, though he seemed a bit reluctant. Summary: okay stay, nice facilities. But I felt more like an inconvenience being there more thana valued guest. I think this really is more suited to surfers, not solo female travellers who may need a bit of guidance. "
