    1) quality of evening dining fair rather than amazing. fine dinning had closed by April. restaurant at hotel next door better. 2) need to provide sheets in a warm clinic not just a duvet/doona. 3) should consider a regular shuttle into town provided by hotel

    breakfast breast . buffet lots of options. staff amazingly friendly. quite good French wine list. situated to maximise beautiful late afternoons and sunset.

    The pool was closed for a few days while we were there which was annoying.

    The breakfast was excellent, with lots of different choices. The location was easy walking to restaurants and shops. The staff were wonderful!

    Food was good / ok - but not fantastic. Typical for most resorts. That said, the staff were very helpful in recommending and booking great places to eat nearby.

    Staff were superb, always happy to go above and beyond to make your stay great! Plently of beach loungers available when we were there, and they are super comfortable, plenty of shade available under the trees.

    Bar staff not very helpful and service extremely slow. The lift broke down, had to use the stairs to get up and down to level 4. Don’t have great entertainment. Should have life music around the restaurant near the pool/beach.

    Reception Staff are very helpful, helped us book a day trip over to the Isle of Pines.

    It’s 5* hotel but room service it’s not 24/7, not even a mini bar. Member of the stuff behaved very inappropriate by offering me a massage at 3am (!) where we were only 2 people at the lobby, making me feel that I may be in danger, and trying to walk me to my room when I was keep saying that I can find my way by myself. The next day I asked to talk to the hotel manager. I had talked to the reception manager. Lady was just defending her staff member. I asked again to talk to hotel manager, what wasn’t possible. Reception manager was giving me a bad attitude, when I come with such a serious meter (!) I hope that it won’t happen to other solo female travellers.

    Hotel it’s beautiful, pool and private beach as well. I loved the location.

    Whilst the staff were friendly, service was very slow. It became a competition in the beachside area to see how close you could get to the bar before a staff member would come out to greet you but they’d never come to your seats and take an order. Breakfast was ok but mostly the food was underwhelming.

    - there is no fridge, only a thing which look like a fridge but is isn’t one.. haha they told us that was to keep things fresher than outside but wasn’t a fridge so we couldn’t keep cold water - Unfortunately our phone wasn’t working, we asked them few times to fix it but never happened, so we were not able to call room service, but to be honest it’s a really small complain everything else was perfect.

    The hotel is gorgeous in a beautiful localisation, in front of the turquoise sea, the staff is amazing, super friendly and helpful ( big up to Alan & Jeremy), the pool is amazing and not too busy, breakfast buffet is good with lots of options. Our room was really clean, splendid view, bed really confortable, wifi incredible it even works when you are outside of the hotel until the pool the beach the restaurant around.

    Inconsistent service. One day our room was made up by 11:00, the next, we waited until past 15:00! (Our usual schedule is to go the beach early, 08:00, then get out of the midday sun, then return to the beach at 15:00) The main restaurant, Le Sextant, was only open evenings Friday / Saturday for a BBQ buffet. Did not try it. The beach bar / restaurant was open, (Le Faré) but uninspiring menu for this (purported) level of venue and vastly overpriced for the level of quality / sophistication delivered - we ate just the once. Expected better from a Marriott brand. Most evenings (of a 9 day stay) we ate outside the hotel for a much better eating experience.

    Location, Location, Location. One of the few resorts in Noumea itself with private beach access. This is why you go there. Sit in the sun, guest reserved day beds & towels and swim off the beach. Sunsets to die for. Room was a good size, well appointed. The resort was trying hard with music options in the main bar, "Lattitude 22°" (pianist, solo guitar, singer and the like) but the entertainment coincided with meal times. After dinner would have been a better option for this type of entertainment. Weekend music at the beach bar was a good idea, and made for a good atmosphere. Watching the Kite Surfers off Pointe Magnin was a blast! The staff were very friendly and managed with my lack of French.

    two suggestions; 1. the advertising of a 1 bedroom is not accurate as there is no wall and this made it hard with our two year old 2. you need to have live music or some entertainment for families

    slightly larger sun umbrellas at the pool, sun can be very hot and sunprotection is necessary.

    Room was spacious, we had 2 king singles. Small balcony with garden view. Aircon nice and quiet. No complimentary water in room but water was available from a cooling unit next to the elevators. Small fridge in room barely kept your drinks cold. Walk-in shower and separate bath. Very good breakfast. Large pool area but hard to find shade/sun protection. Plenty of subumbrellas but these were a bit small to create enough shade/sunprotection. Nice grassy area next to the beach. Snorkels avaiable at no cost. Good service from bar area. Great restaurant for bar snacks and proper lunch or dinner.

    It was hot while I was there the AC struggled a bit to keep the room cool. But I never told the personal, my bad. Otherwise they would have put me in an other room I guess.

    Pool, location, view from the room, helpful and friendly staff. Perfect spot, to do kitesurfing 😎🤙 They also kept my luggage while I went away. Even if I didn’t stay at the hotel when I returned.

    It’s expensive for what it is but there aren’t alot of options in Noumea. The food and drink at the bar / restaurant is also very expensive. We had breakfast included and ate in town or went to supermarket for all other meals. The headboard in the room was covered in stains. The outdoor furniture to the room was covered in rust so you couldn’t use it without staining your clothes. The service was hit and miss, depended on who you got at reception. They don’t explain anything about the facilities or offer any help. An example was no one told us we had a 20,000 resort credit that we could use during our stay. There’s no information in the room about the hotel or facilities (breakfast time, pool towels etc). Only one English tv channel (BBC) and no smart tv - not a major unless you get a stormy inside day. They wouldn’t let us check in early, at 2:53pm we were told to come back in 7 minutes for the 3pm check in time - seemed odd.

    It’s a nice location, easy walk to the main strip, restaurants and shops. Beach is nice. We stayed in an ocean view room, the room was large and bathroom was nice (it was same as the photos). Breakfast is nice with heaps of options. There are plenty of loungers around the pool and at the beach.

    Cleanliness of the rooms. The inside of our bathroom door was dirty....previously splashed with something. The bedhead in our room and that of our daughters had stains on them. Supplies of tea, coffee, shower gel etc. in our rooms were not replaced without us having to ask for them. The room cleaners didn't seem to have stock so we had to ask at reception and/or share both rooms supplies. There doesn't seem to be any standardised check for bedroom cleaning, sometimes we got extra towels and bath mat, other times towels were taken and not replaced, so we had to go ask for them. Difficult to get information on what to do in the area. Finding such information through electronic ads and internet searches is cumbersome and comparisons are difficult. No movie channel. With breakfast replacing finished food was very slow.

    The staff were very friendly and as helpful as they could be. The internet was excellent. Pool area is beautiful and well run. Excellent supply of towels. Breakfast was good. Very impressed with the one chef that was doing all the egg variations and pancakes on her own for a very busy restaurant. The pillows. Distance from the village. It's an easy walk to various restaurants, shops and the aquarium.

    Room this time was very hot, aircon struggles, room mini fridge does not cool at all. Same problem with pool bar food and bev, it’s all mixed up, food is very quick, drinks are slow but it’s also varied. There’s a lack of eating options, in the end again the prices of everything challenges everything offered. Small additions, value adds like a piece of fruit on the cocktail to make it look nice, proper cutlery at the pool bar, enough glasses at breakfast buffet, very basic stuff would change the ratio from being disappointed to not even thinking about what’s wrong. The fastest service in the hotel is the delivery of the bill when you leave, if everything could come at that speed, it’s a good situation.

    This Time was better, Beds, Linen very comfortable. Some staff super gréât. Pool attendants really good.
