The staff here, especially Anita and Emma made our stay. We loved everything about the island and the resort. You can walk to other restaurants and bars as well as the best beach on the island, not that there is anything wrong with the one at the hotel. Breakfast was wonderful. We cannot wait to return!

Emma, United Kingdom

Everything was just perfect! The hotel team do all their efforts to make your staying perfect. The resort has even an ice machine that you can use for make your drinks if you have yourself beverages. Breakfast and the food at the restaurants were just amazing. The place seems like a beaultiful dream.

Diego, Brazil

Ngaire, New Zealand

The staff is very very helpful. Our flight was one day delay, and he helped us to cancel the previous night without a charge. Walking distance to matira beach. Reasonable price in bora bora.

Hotel is nice, with bungaloos and lot of green. We had several problems that were quickly resolved by the excellent hotel manager.

Nicola, Australia

The staff at this resort is really fantastic... welcoming, smiling all the time, willing to chat with you and interact with you... very nice! I mean, every single member of the staff I met (reception, concierge, housekeeping, the breakfast staff, the bar staff, the porters... Anne and Yuki from China were great, Anita the concierge was really nice too, and Muriel at Reception... etc.). The hotel's location is very good, as it is close to Matira Beach and Vaitape town. Also, great if you want to reach the shore excursions' offices/locations and the restaurants in Vaitape Village. The pool and the beach at the hotel were very cool and fun to be at!

눉Meals at the restaurant were average. We were met at the airport by a random person who it turned out did NOT work for Sofitel but had our name and was waiting for us at the Sofitel stand. He tried to rip us off with expensive boat transfer and taxi etc. There is obviously a security leak somewhere because only Booking.com and Sofitel knew we were coming.
눇Everything, big comfortable bed, great beach and pool, awesome staff.

“Kids not allowed on private island!!!!”

- • Luxury Bungalow with Garden View
- • Stayed 4 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉Private island doesn't allow kids, so we knew once there we were not able to cross and meet the island (website does not say anything). Be prepared to sleep with the sound of rosters from 2 am until 6 am!! Personnel is not trained as you can expect from a 4 stars hotel, except the manager. Hotel needs mantainance to keep it in better safety conditions.
눇Hotel is nice, with bungaloos and lot of green. We had several problems that were quickly resolved by the excellent hotel manager.

눉The internet was sooo slow . The gym was soo bad, the worst gym we have ever seen. Some people came in looked and walked out. Not cleaned. Hard to even call it a gym...Not so nice to snorkel. You had to buy a daypass to go to Sofitel Private Island.
눇Bora Bora is fantastic. The staff was very nice. The room was nice. Very nice breakfast.
