"The location was great, right near bus stops, in between the bays, easy walk to restaurants and cafes and beaches. The apartments were very poorly maintained though, for example the door lock was practically falling off, a kitchen drawer did fall off, etc."

"Liked being away from the city and close to the Mangroves walk.
Loved the little shop so a night in with snacks and meals was easy.
Very helpful staff even if little English was spoken, we managed :-)"

"Sandra, with the aid of Google Translate made us feel welcome and at ease straight away. The cottage we stayed in was quirky, very clean and well-equipped including free WiFi. Local facilities aren't so good, you'll definitely need a car and the local beaches aren't ideal for swimming or snorkelling but there is a pool to lounge in and around. Noumea is about half an hour drive away and there are some museums and things to do there.
Overall we had a great stay and would definitely stay there...

Check out Ile aux Canards island and Anse Vata Beach—just two of the sights around Ilot Maitre, a city also notable for its island views and snorkelling.
We stayed in Premium Overwater Bungalow for 6 nights. Was amazing, advertising photos don't really do the location justice. Paradise. Lots of marine life and turtles. Nice beaches, water sports. Can free boat transfer back to mainland on the many trips on the island ferry. Everything was amazing.

Located at Anse Vata right in the tourist area, Le Lagon was a great choice for staying in Noumea. The pool was great, and we enjoyed a great breakfast buffet. The staff were friendly and helpful, and meals could be bought downstairs to be microwaved in the room. A patisserie and small super market are nearby as well as all the shops at the Hilton complex. Free Wi-Fi as well!

I booked the room for my aunty who travelled solo and she enjoyed her stay very much. The staff was very attentive, looked after her, went above and beyond, everything was perfect. The hotel was very well located and it was easy for her to explore the surroundings by foot. I will not hesitate to book the same hotel in the future for myself or recommend it to my family and friends. The staff was also very responsive to my messages - excellent communication. Very satisfied overall.

Traveled and stayed at the Le Meridien Noumea between the 1-8th March 2015.
We arrived after midnight, tired and hot ! On our first contact with the very efficient Night Duty Manger we are smiling, very happy, nothing was a problem.
We had a wonderful just revamped room (513) with ocean views, and it was divine! cool and luxurious! Even though the hotel was going through upgrade renovations at the time, there was no disturbance at all.

Our room was spotless, very comfortable, tea and coffee facilities and our balcony looked out onto the beach across the road. Even though the hotel is on the main road and in a busy night-club area Friday nights, there was no noticeable noise. All staff were very kind and helpful. There was off-street parking. There was nothing more we could have asked for - except that breakfast recommended at the café next door was far too expensive so we went elsewhere for half the price.
