Houseboats in New Caledonia

"This isca terrific hotel and for us the only place to stay in Noumea. So many good things, great pool and beach facilities, lovely King room with sea views, marvellous breakfast buffet, close to Anse Vata restaurants and bars, and a short walk to the Grand Casino. Best of all great service from all the staff, Baptiste Exec Chef, Maya at reception, all the staff at breakfast, at the beach bar and restaurant, and housekeeping.."

" **Quiet Ambience** – The hotel is designed with relaxation in mind. Soundproofing is excellent, and common areas maintain a peaceful vibe. No loud music or rowdy crowds—just pure serenity. "

"A wonderful stay at the Hilton. Our room had everything one could need to make the stay comfortable. Oven, dishwasher, refrigerator and microwave were spotless and it was so good to be able to have a proper kitchen with dishes, cutlery and cooking equipment. Washing machine/dryer, a clothes drying rack were also available including iron and ironing board, pegs etc. Large balcony with beautiful water views where you can sit and relax in comfort. Buffet breakfast is superb, everything you could possibly want plus more. Location is perfect, close to the beach, restaurants, wonderful bakery and shops including a great pharmacy. Réception staff were exceptional, so a big thank you to Loïc and Gunter. Honestly we were so happy with our stay at the Hilton and we will definitely be back there again. "

"This is arguably the best location to stay on Pine Island. The Piscine Natural is rated the top spot to visit on the island - yet the colourful coral and fish were better in the water off this resort. This is a 4 star resort, although apart from a little aging, it is hard to fault. Not many resorts have pools - so this was an added bonus. It felt like we had the hotel and island pretty much to ourselves with only a handful of guests staying. (the recent riots have kept tourists away, although could see no evidence on the island of unrest and all was calm). Food was not cheap any where really, so be prepared to pay 'fine dining' prices at restaurants (except perhaps for pizza etc at Gite Nataiwatch next door). The only criticism/disappointment was that with only a handful of guests in the whole resort, that an upgrade to an ocean front villa, instead of the garden one we booked, might have taken our stay to a whole other level, but that said, our garden villa was only steps away from the beach and was just lovely. (they should also reduce the cost of renting a bike) I always like to know about beds when I read reviews as we love a soft bed, Oure's bed's were a happy medium - not too soft and not too hard, we had absolutely no trouble falling asleep each night :) I HIGHLY recommend going to Pine Island and staying here - truly an exceptional untouched place on this earth - with lots of sea turtles too! :) "

"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."

"Friendly staff, walking distance to the local bakery and restaurants, amazing beach at the door The only down side is a slow internet - photos were hard to be delivered "

"Great location, just across the beach. On a walking distance to Anse Vata. The staff is very helpful and nice. The rooms are quite small though."

"Le Lagon was a lovely, clean and cosy hotel that provided all amenities and was within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The staff were friendly and helpful, we had a great stay!"

"tout était Ok, cependant l'internet est déplorable et il est définitivement impossible de travailler en soirée avec ce type de connection"
