Sofitel Bora Bora Private Island  

We LOVED everything about the Sofitel Bora Bora Private Island from the amazing welcome to our beautiful bungalow. We cannot rave on enough about our stay here. Everything was perfect from the room to the delicious five star food. What total heaven on earth Thanks so much to all the wonderful staff at the Sofitel! Would LOVE to come back again.

The staff was exceptionally nice and helpful.

The food was not spectacular but I am from South Texas and we use a lot of spices in our food. Maybe I'm just not used to Polynesian food. I thought it was kind of bland.

Maybe Sofitel doesn't have the best and most luxury waterbungalows on the island, but the place is most beautiful and very private. The reef behind the island is the one, where all diving trips are coming, so you have opportunity to snorkel here every day.

Could stay there forever :)

This is by no means a luxury resort. I have stayed in better for much less. The private island actually offers less than the main resort but you pay extra for the fact that you have to take a boat across in order to join in activities or benefit from the limited entertainment on offer. The coffee machine in my over-water bungalow did not function properly, the refrigerator was archaic and the tiny freezer section was thickly iced up and had no door. The air conditioning unit was very noisy. The cushion covers on the sun beds were dirty and the towels were stained yellow on one side. The steps leading down into the water were encrusted with green slime and were slippery. Instead of blissful peace outside, all I could hear was the noise of generators or air conditioning units that sounded like power tools being used all day. It is advertised as a luxury resort therefore that was what I expected to find. I was hugely disappointed. I left a guest comment card, as requested but one week on, there has been no communication from the Management, very poor customer service. I could make further comments but I think what I have said will give prospective guests an idea what to expect (or not).
