Slow-living by the lagoon – Beachfront stay in Naïa Bay, New Caledonia
10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic 5 nights here with our 2 girls. Pascal was an amazing host and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The boat trip to the island and sailing were highlights! The snorkelling off the beach was also amazing with beautiful coral, lots of fish and turtles. Whilst it was often quite windy, we managed to find sheltered spots in the garden to enjoy the sun. Would definitely recommend staying here. It is was so peaceful and peaceful quiet, we were often the only people on the beach"
"Everything I needed for a one night stay.
Great shower & comfortable bed. Plus kitchenette with the essentials
As a side although there is a washing machine & drier they is an extra charge to use it."
"The hotel now offers very generous 30GB per day, free of charge. The hotel is renovating rooms and we were lucky to stay one of those. The room was clean and stylish and user friendly. Staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. It was our 3rd stay at Hilton Noumea since 2019. It’s hard to fail there."
"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 :-)"
"We had a wonderful stay at the Ramada Hotel in Nouméa. Our room was spacious and had everything our family of four needed. The kitchenette was a huge bonus, allowing us to prepare some of our own meals and keep costs down during our holiday.
The room was clean on arrival, with fresh, comfortable linen. We were aware before arriving that housekeeping is provided on request rather than automatically, and it was easy to organise whenever we needed it.
The views from our room were absolutely stunning and one of the highlights of our stay.
The location was excellent, an easy walk to the beach, plenty of restaurants and cafés, and two fantastic playgrounds that our kids absolutely loved. It made exploring the Anse Vata area so convenient for our family.
The pool was another drawcard. Although it isn't heated (so it was a little chilly during our winter visit), it was beautifully maintained and a lovely place to relax. The gym was well equipped, and we also enjoyed the delicious food and drinks at the bar.
What really made our stay memorable was the staff. Everyone was friendly, patient with our very limited French, and always happy to help, including arranging taxis whenever we needed them.
Overall, the Ramada offered excellent value for money, especially for families looking for comfortable accommodation with self-catering facilities in a great location. We'd happily stay here again."
"Un hotel muy bonito, como un encantador oasis dentro de una ciudad turística. Con mucho encanto, personal local súper amable, limpieza y buenos servicios.
La relacion calidad precio es increible.
Volvería sin ninguna duda. Un auténtico placer."

"I am not a fan of Hotels; I prefer a less formal and more naturel environment. This lodge was perfect for me. The hosts, Nicole and Richard, are lovely people and I shall never forget them. There is no radio or TV at the lodge, but they have Wi-fi, so I was able to access those services on the rare occasions that I felt inclined to do so. During the eight days that I spent there, I discovered how to relax, how to enjoy the simple pleasures and how to say, "Bonjour!" and truly mean it! I've been back in Australia now for six days and I feel homesick for New Caledonia, Noumea, the Lodge and my lovely hosts."
"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."
