"We stayed in three different bungalows. Our favorite was the beach view just west of the overwater rooms. You're steps from the beach and that glorious water but away from minimal crowds. Our least favorite was the ocean view to the east of the overwaters. The overwater bungalows are directly in front of you and the water. There's no beach to speak of here and the water is almost too shallow to swim in. Staff overall was very friendly and helpful. The main attraction for the Sofitel is the water. Amazing snorkeling, incredible wildlife, and never too busy. "

"We stayed in an overwater bungalow. The property shows some signs of wear but was very comfortable -- and you can't beat the location. So much fun to walk outside and drop into the water!"

"We loved our stay. The property is beautiful. We especially enjoyed how secluded each bungalow was. There were few reviews when I booked, but decided to take a chance, and I’m thrilled I did!"

"Room is neat and modern; good layout. Bed is really comfy. Right out front is a good pool that I didn't use but I did do lots of snorkeling right out front of that which was excellent. Lots of coral and fish and some turtles too. Nice restaurant on site but we had a car and tried a bunch of the nearby ones also which were also great."

"Great gibe"

"We spent 5 nights at niu beach hotel, this property was nicely decorated, clean and new, the studio spaces are well thought out for 2. We found it very helpful having a kitchenette for when we couldn’t book in at some of the busier local restaurants, and a small supermarket just a bike ride away. The kayaks were fun, and it was nice to snorkel straight from the beach. We were told the area was known for turtles, but they were elusive for us. The staff were very helpful and kind. The local tours that we took would pick us up from the hotel. Speaking french will help you in Moorea, but is definitely not required. "

"The property is beautiful and Stéphane and Nathalie are the perfect hosts! Everything is brand new and the pool is kept at a perfect temperature. It was great to come back from a day of excursions and relax in the garden by the pool. The rooms are bright, clean, and extremely comfortable. They are very well thought out. Breakfast was fresh and served every morning with new homemade dishes each day! I cannot recommended Fare Manta enough for anyone looking to stay in Moorea!"

"Staff generally very friendly and helpful. Location is great. Food was good. Our room was clean and comfortable."

"The bungalows were right by the beach. Beautiful clear blue, warm water. Service was great. The restaurant was friendly and nice to have so close for convenience. Would definitely stay there again. "
