French Polynesia Adventure Vacations

Property was nice but definitely an older property. Run down. Needs a face lift and upgrade. We upgraded to the premium room and it was just ok. It was 2 stories which’s worked for us but probably should have been noted. It was kinda inconvenient having the 2 nd floor, getting the suitcases up there and constantly going up and down. But awesome views. The room was old looking. Overall just needs to be updated. The fridge was tiny. Nothing fit in it. Hotel needs ice machines. Maybe another restaurant. It’s very far away from everything so if you are looking for quiet it’s great but if you want to go out to eat or shop there is nothing around. There is a free shuttle to town Papeete which was great but it needs to go more often. It only goes twice a day and never near meal times so you are always rushed back to eat at the hotel again. And no shuttle on Sundays. Regarding food at the hotel. It was very good. We obviously ate many meals there and they were always good. Great happy hour everyday. The staff was always friendly and nice. Overall nice hotel just older

The resort was above and beyond our expectations. The breakfast buffet was outstanding - especially the fresh pastries and the omelette bar manned by Heinz. The snorkeling right off shore was fabulous. If we ever are able to return to Moorea, we will definitely stay at the Sofitel Kia Ora again!

Julien and the staff were fabulous, complementing an idyllic setting. Everything was wonderful.

Stayed 6 nights in an overwater bungalow as part of a long trip to the islands of both Hawaii and French Polynesia. Service provided by our assigned concierge, Kea, was better than any butler service I have had over the years at other luxury hotels. The property is lovely and well kept. The bungalow was spacious, updated, and clean. Unfortunately there were a number of things that diminished the overall experience. First, the noise. I’ve stayed in overwater accommodations previously in The Maldives, Indonesia, and Colombia. I am currently at the Intercontinental La Moana in Bora Bora in an over water bungalow. It is serene and wonderful. I anticipated a similar experience of serenity and tranquility in Tahiti. But, instead, I had to listen to very loud music and announcements that went well past 10PM at night. Having traveled the world over the past 35 years I always have silicon ear plugs to dull the noise. Even with the earplugs, however, it was still loud. Some of the noise came from nearby but much of it was from the Intercontinental. In French Polynesia the year round humidity is between 80 and 90 percent. The average daily temperature hovers around 30. The fans in the dining areas were not sufficient to provide a comfortable dinning experience — even in shorts, tank top, and flip flops. The food was mediocre including at La Lotus. WiFi in room was ok but was not available in the gym and other areas of the property. This hotel pales in comparison to many other resorts.

The Le Taha'a Pearl Resort is a wonderful serene experience, right near beautiful coral gardens! The General Manager (Laurant) and the entire staff are wonderful! We definitely will be going back there.

Everything was beautiful. The staff was incredibly friendly.
