A View from Above
by Canadian_TravelerThe overwater is absolutely perfect. The restaurants are good (but expensive) and the service was very good, not exceptional but we didn't need much.
I would higly recommend staying here and would also reccomend stopping at one of the grocery stores near by to stock up on some food and drinks (there's a mini fridge in room) so you don't have to pay the high prices of the hotel and also so you can hole up in your bungalow for much of the vacation....especially if you're honeymooning. :)
The upgrade was most outstanding. Also, after visiting most of the other major hotels/resorts, I would have to say that the beach at the Sofitel is by far one of the best (the Sheraton is also very nice).
The pool is fine though we never actually went in it because the beach was so great.
Snorkeling is amazing...lots of different fish, mostly small but very, very colourful!
The view of Tahiti at night is awesome. If you're staying in an overwater, try to e-mail a request in advance for one of the bungalows furthest out, with a view of Tahiti. You won't be disappointed.
