Best Resorts in French Polynesia

"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. "

"Stayed 4 days. Room was neat, spacious, modern. Balcony was enclosed and a provided a nice kitchenette with table chairs. Not really any space to store a suitcase though; suitcase stands would be nice. Great views of the ocean and beach. Great pool/bar."

"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!"

"This is a very affordable place, love the staff! Great people. "

"Great location close to bars, restaurants and very close to the port and airport. The Roof top bar is great only disappointing thing was we were a couple and couldn’t eat there unless there are 8 or more people which it didn’t explain when trying to book online. We did eat at the Reef restaurant on floor 7 which was good and staff very attentive. It was handy having a coffee bar and food next to reception too. I would definitely stay again. "

"The guests service were very friendly and polite. "

"Buena, bonita, cara "

"Above and beyond "

"The resort was as beautiful as the pictures make it out to be. But travelers beware: everything (and I mean everything) is very expensive as a function of its remote location. "
