The most beautiful location anywhere above water. Underwater took a snorkeling scooter tour that was amazing: awesome colorful coral, reef fish, turtle and ray. Also enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding in the idyllic lagoon.

The property was beautiful. We had the least expensive bungalow (one night after a cruise) which was amazing. The room was large with a separate area behind the bed for dressing. The bathroom had a walk-in shower that could open into a garden.

Beautiful beach and room. We stayed in the beachfront bungalow. The spa is nice and enjoyed a yoga class there. I felt the food options were limited. the night I stayed there was a buffet dinner for $95, which was way overpriced, or more casual food in the bar. I did enjoy the breakfast spread in the morning and it was included in the room. One downfall was the stray dogs wondering the property and in the restaurant. I was grossed out having a stray dog sitting at my feet at the table waiting for food. We did have to wait an hour longer to get into our room. The front desk provided free drinks in the lobby bar but then the service was so slow we didn’t get to enjoy them while waiting for our room. They seemed understaffed, and not the best service that you would expect.

The hotel is set on a very good beach with both swimming and snorkelling available though there was a strong current running along it. We had a Garden Beach Bungalow. Little disappointed as this was 3 rows back from the beach and we had the beach bar blocking our Seaview. We only went to the pool once. It was a little uninspiring. The breakfast buffet was good but didn’t vary. We had been to the Sofitel in Fiji and this wasn’t as good. The main restaurant at night had a reasonable menu but was expensive by NZ standards. The tapas menu in the bar was very limited and a bit boring. In the whole had a good holiday it was a shame the weather didn’t play ball.

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.
