My husband and I stayed here for six nights and had an amazing time. The over the water room was great. Room service came by twice a day, once to clean and another to turn the bed down and give you little cookies. The service was slow but I think island life moves slow. There is a small beach on...

We went to the Sofitel Bora Bora for our honeymoon and we couldn't have picked a better place. We spent the first half of our trip on the private island and the second half on the main land so we could experience them both. The private island was the way to go! Although both are beautiful, the private island was... More

We stayed on the Sofitel private island after spending a few days at Le Meridien Bora Bora. It was like moving from paradise to average. If we had paid about a quarter of the price it would have been fine but after our INCREDIBLE experience at Le Meridien we had to try and cheer each other up making the best... More

We stayed on the overwater Bungalow on the Private Island. The rooms were good but not that great. The lagoon is not great compared to 4 seasons or Hilton. I would recommend the intercontinental next door as its next to matira public beach and also that has better rooms. Sofitel's staff was great and the food was good too. Their... More

Not staying at that hotel but we went to the sofitel motu for dinner. The shuttle is expensive, the menus were not identical (some pages missing) and the prices were not mentionned. We asked them but we were only given half of them. We asked for a set menu and a risotto (terrible) and at the end we realized we... More

We have just arrived here today after having spent a wonderful three nights at the Sofitel Moorea. Waited ages to be checked in and have to say the room is not very nice compared to its sister hotel on Moorea. We booked through Expedia and the hotel describes itself as a luxury hotel - no chance!!! The rooms are very... More

Dear Guest Your comments are very important for us and it's not only words, it is a reallity, i understand that the communication on the 2 properties Sofitel Marra and Private island is not so clear as the 2 concepts are really different. Private island is more executive and exclusive and Sofitel Marara is really linked with tradition, culture sharing... More

My husband and I just got back from our honeymoon. We stayed at the Sofitel in Bora Bora (on the main island). Let's just say this experience will likely lead is to never come back to Bora Bora again. Granted, it may be the most reasonable hotel on the island, but as many other reviews have stated, we would have... More
