Frommer's Review

On the island's northeast coast, this sprawling resort (formerly the Sofitel Ia Ora Moorea) was built in the 1960s and shuttered temporarily in 2005 for its first massive renovation since then. All of its original bungalows were replaced, and 19 new overwater units were added -- which set off demonstrations by local environmentalists opposed to damaging the reef. It still sits beside one of the South Pacific's best lagoons and a long, lovely beach over which grape-leaf and casuarina trees hang. It's the only hotel with a view of Tahiti, whose green, cloud-topped mountains seem to climb out of the horizon beyond the reef.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; bar; outdoor pool; 2 tennis courts; watersports equipment/rentals; bike rentals; activities desk; car-rental desk; massage; babysitting; laundry service
