Our stay at Sofitel Motu Bora Bora was a true delight! The private island setting offered stunning views, particularly from our bungalow facing Mt. Otemanu. The staff was warm and genuinely welcoming, making us feel right at home. While the dining options were fairly limited and a bit pricey for what you get, the breakfast buffet was decent. Overall, it's a fantastic value for a tropical getaway, but the Wi-Fi service could definitely use some improvement.

My stay at the Motu Private Island was a remarkable experience characterized by breathtaking views and a unique coral garden. The rooms boasted beautiful privacy and comfort, although service could use improvement, especially regarding room amenities. The location of the resort was truly stunning, offering an idyllic getaway, but be prepared for some inconveniences related to dining options and accessibility to the main resort. Overall, it was a magical place with a few minor drawbacks.

I had an unforgettable experience at the hotel, enjoying the stunning views and the spacious, modern rooms. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and we appreciated the proximity to a small grocery store and great dining options nearby. However, the dining experience at the hotel was limited, with breakfast being the only meal served, and the service at times felt disorganized. Overall, the stay was incredibly relaxing and definitely worth it.

We had a wonderful stay at the resort, enjoying the privacy of our overwater bungalow and the stunning views of the lagoon. The warm welcome we received was a highlight, although the dining options could be improved as selection was limited. The snorkeling gear and other activities provided added to the fun, making our overall experience memorable despite some issues with the room condition.

While Bora Bora is known for its beautiful scenery, my stay at Sofitel Marara Beach Resort had its challenges. The location is stunning, but the accommodations fell short, particularly regarding safety and service. I appreciated some efforts from the staff, but the overall experience left much to be desired, especially after the storm incident.
