Our over the water bungalow was better than expected. The bungalow was well decorated and had all the amenities one can ask for. We arrived to a complimentary bottle of bubbly and a tray of sweets that were both absolutely delicious. The resort staff is fantastic, they are always ready to make your stay extra special, if you require anything they are immediately there with whatever you need. The morning buffet has a great verity. My only suggestion would be to increase the items on your restaurant menus and perhaps look at some nightly entertainment.

Fourth time here. Two under Let Meridian and two Accor. Recognition of Accor Platinum was great and service very very good.. As I am sure the property knows, the rooms are tired but still nice. The floorboards are a priority to upgrade as comically noisy. Didn't effect my stay though as overall a great experience. Well done..

My Mom and I stayed here for 7 days. Moeau at the front desk was great. Clara and Julie at the concierge desk were very helpful in scheduling excursions. Housekeeping provided great daily services. The grounds crew kept the gardens and pool area beautiful. The wait staff in the restaurants were very friendly. We definitely had a great stay and would stay again.

Highly impressed with our stay at this hotel. The welcome package including Champagne, fruit basket and sweets was greatly appreciated. Excellent service and great facilities including snorkeling and swimming. Very clean rooms and well kept grounds. The overwater bungalow was very upmarket and exceeded our expections. Will definitely stay there again.

LovesTravel51 02/02/2020 TripAdvisor review

We were traveling around the Society Islands on our private yacht and stayed and dined at some wonderful resorts along the way. We stayed at this hotel as it was the last night and relatively close to the PPT airport. We arrived late afternoon and tried to get a snack/drink at the bar pool side, but after we ordered one drink and sandwich, they said no more as they were now closed and we had to go inside (it was still warm and light out). the property was nice, but they had no idea about their accommodations - they made us walk 2 buildings past our building, up two flights of stairs to our room because the person directing us did not know there was an elevator in the building adjacent to ours that had an elevator that went all the way to the 5th floor. The dinner was memorable only in that the salad was so dressed it was hardly edible which caused the waitress to ask "it no good' to which we replied its OK but the burger was better. Come on, we had reserved a taxi for 5:30 am and there was one waiting at the curb but we were told not ours. They ran and got another group but that group climbed out and said it was not their taxi as they were not going to the airport. After 15 min of waiting, the bell person finally offered us the same taxi. The property seemed very dated and tired with service poor to say the least.compared to all of the other Tahitian resorts we visited . We do note that this might be an old SPG property that was neglected (old SPG room signs) and needs a LOT of work. Will stay closer to the airport next time. Maururru.

Dear Sir, dear Madam, Greetings from Tahiti. Thank you for your feedback, it is very important to us, it helps us to improve on a daily basis so that you can fully enjoy a Sofitel experience. We are sorry to read that your recent experience with us has not met the usual high standards our hosts have come to expect and deserve.

Consequently, we will do our utmost to ensure that the necessary changes are made very soon. Thank you for drawing our attention on those points which will be quickly resolved. We hope that, despite those problems, you will keep your trust in our resort and we hope to have the pleasure to welcoming you again at the Tahiti Ia Ora Beach Resort. Sunny Regards

TNT620002 Couples - 11/01/2020 TripAdvisor review

We stayed in an over water bungalow that was magnificent. The resort sits in a commercial/ residential zone so shops are relatively close as are domestic residences. The beach is nice and the lagoon was good for snorkelling and swimming. Saw lots of fish including black tipped reef shark. The main hotel itself looks tired but the gardens are nice with some magnificent trees. The food at the bistro and breakfast left a lot to be desired as did the service which was exceedingly slow and unresponsive. On night 1 we went to the bbq bistro and my food was excellent but my wife's M/W steak was raw. On night 2 my fish (same as night 1) was raw inside and my wife's well done hamburger moo'ed so consistency was a big issue. Drinks would sit on the bar waiting for waiters for up to 15 minutes while they fluffed about doing not much. Took 15 minutes for maitre de to actually come to our table to discuss food standards and he comped us the food which was good but would have preferred good food. Go into town for food would be my recommendation. The concierge and front of office and baggage staff were excellent, courteous and very helpful and went out of their way to assist travellers.

ia ora na, thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience in our resort. we were sad to read that you didn't completely enjoy your time with us. Your opinion allows us to improve our service in order to better receive you in the future. I want to tell you on behalf of the entire team that our only objective is to share a moment of happiness through a wonderful experience with each of our clients. Rest assured that we will take the necessary steps to ensure that this does not happen again. We sincerely apologize for this and hope to welcome you soon. Mauruuru!
