Breakfast was the best food option as this was a buffet with lots of choices & kept us full & happy for most of the day. Other food options were not good. Steak at the dinner option was tough even when cooked medium rare. The margarita pizza was simply awful & inedible. Burgers & chips from the cafe were very good. I had to constantly remind housekeeping to top up the in-room coffee & sweetener which was frustrating. The resort itself was lovely with amazing sea turtles everywhere so snorkelling is brilliant & it was great being able to walk from our balcony to the sea each day. The cook making eggs at the breakfast buffet was very grumpy & this was not very welcoming although she wasn't on station every morning which was a relief. Overall, we will be back because it has more positives but we will bring easy to prepare snacks & food from the mainland to avoid pricey & low quality/choices after breakfast.

“Property is just the way it’s described. It would be nice if guests were escorted to their rooms. I was in the last overwater bungalow and it’s quite a distance from the reception ”

“We absolutely loved our stay we had the best time at the resort only thing I would recommend to improve on is more dining options. We don’t have big dinners and the really only option was 90$ buffet which seemed excessive. More dining options that are not at the bar and served cold would really improve the amazing experience we had! ”

“Property is in an amazing position off the coast from Noumea. Environment is ideal.
Food at the resort is what lets the stay down - it is quite expensive and would benefit from a refresh”
Swimming with turtles every day

“Highlight of our stay in Nouméa. Swimming with pods of turtles every day in the lagoon was amazing. Paddling around the island was delightful. Each day began for me with a 30-minute circumference of the island before a generous, if inconsistent, breakfast. A relaxing, tranquil and memorable stay. ”

“Not a quiet or relaxing property. During the day many people visit the island for day trips and tend to use the hotel ammenities. At night, when I stayed for one of the nights, there was a wedding. Which meant in the overwater bungalow that you could feel the music in your room. No sleep really. Also, the birds are winning in the dining area. The property's "solution" is to provide a microwave cover to protect your food/leftovers. This interrupts your general dining if you are not seated at the table - as birds will with certainty pick at your food.

Great location but terrible and expensive food

“The hotel and location are lovely, and the snorkeling is absolutely amazing. What brings the score down is the food. The buffet is expensive, and not of great quality although there are a lot of options. Eating mostly vegetarian at home we were very disappointed in the vegetable options, often they were overcooked and tasteless. Fish was served every day but almost always overcooked. They charged quite a lot extra over the Easter weekend but did not let us know until after we had finished our meal. We ordered a fried fish option from the bar which was one of the worst meals I’ve had, fries were stone cold and mushy, most fried items were burnt, and the fried cheese item tasted sour and not right. A lovely place but food options really bring it down. ”

“Incredible stay! It was an absolute dream. I stayed two nights in the overwater bungalows and it was spacious, confortable and an amazing experience. I got to rent a snorkeling kit for free and go see the corrals, fish and sea turtles that were nearby. The staff was lovely and the environment felt safe. I only had the breakfast buffet as far as meals go but there was a lot of choices and everything I had was good, especially the fresh pastries. From the check in, the boat ride to the îlot, the stay and back, I am beyond happy with my stay.”

“We stayed in an overwater bungalow - wow what an experience! Beautiful accomodation that's nicely furnished and spacious. The water views and sunsets were stunning and the fact you could step into the water from your own balcony was something we cherished. The staff were lovely and friendly. My only critique is the lack of food options, it'd be great if you could order room service or a la carte rather than having to spend on an expensive buffet every night because it's the only option on the island. Everything else was fantastic. ”

“A superb, peaceful stay only a short boat ride from downtown Nouméa, surrounded by stunning nature. We snorkelled from our bungalow directly into a group of over ten turtles grazing on sea grass and being cleaned by lagoon fish.”

“We stayed 8 nights in an over water bungalow, I think you would be disappointed if you didn’t stay in an over water bungalow and stayed in one of the other rooms. The staff were really nice everywhere and spoke good English. Boat transfers were easy to navigate however it’s not very nice getting the smaller boat in the morning and at night, if we did our trip again, we would of spent a little less time here and had a few nights around lemon bay somewhere. Swimming was great, however not as nice as the beaches at isle of pines. Food was a little bit of a let down but the snack bar was great. Didn’t see any sharks and only saw one snake. Seagulls were annoying, ruined being able to eat outside, the pool bar also wasn’t open at all when we were there. ”

“Great spot to stay, the rooms and the island is incredible. Wildlife was everywhere, heaps of birds, fish, turtles and sea snakes!
Very helpful staff, only downside was the food, a fairly standard buffet was pretty pricey and room service took a while. ”
