I had a lovely stay at this resort that offered beautiful views and a nice atmosphere. The over-the-water bungalow we stayed in was simply stunning, especially in the morning light, but there were a few drawbacks, including some construction during our visit. While the breakfasts were good, I found the buffet dinner to be overpriced. Overall, it was a memorable experience but not perfect.

The hotel has a beautiful location and stunning over-water bungalows, but I experienced significant disappointments with maintenance and service during my stay. While I appreciated the friendliness of some staff members, the overall dining options and quality did not meet my expectations, especially given the high price. The lack of upkeep in the bungalows was particularly disheartening, and I found myself struggling with basic amenities during my time there.

My stay at the Sofitel Moorea la Ora Beach Resort was unforgettable, especially with the stunning views and beautiful beach right at my toes. The overwater bungalow was spacious and comfortable, making it easy to relax after a full day of snorkeling. While the dining was generally good, it occasionally fell short of expectations, particularly on busy nights. Overall, the location and amenities provided great value, even if there were a few hiccups with service.

Our stay at the resort was absolutely fantastic! The friendly service, clean accommodations, and breathtaking views made our experience truly memorable. However, the dining could use some improvement in organization, and the distance from nearby restaurants might be a bit inconvenient for some.
