DoubleTree by Hilton Noumea Ilot Maitre Resort

Quite

This is the best hotel i have ever stayed in (Ive stayed in a lot). We had the over water bunglow. It was worth every penny, just wish i had longer there. Go down the steps and fish and turtles everywhere. Buffet was incredible, endoess choice and top quality food. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food was very average and very minimal options. There needs to be a small shop for snacks

We just had a perfect holiday! Food choice was an issue like everyone says in review but overall this place is amazing!!

The room was lovely. Spacious and comfortable and I was lucky enough to get a garden cabin with a water view which was brilliant. Perhaps they could have taken a bit of space from the bedroom area to make the bathroom a bit less cramped. But the bed was comfortable and the rooms well appointed and very clean. In fact cleaning staff were the only ones who smiled and said hello. The hotel generally wasn’t very welcoming. Even on arrival we were met with bored indifference instead of a welcome and for the most part that continued. The food offering was beyond disappointing. I’ve never paid so much for such sub par food in my life. Once you are on the island you are a captive market, choice is very limited (a very sad buffet) and a variety of fried foods from the bar. That’s it. Also no nightlife or even anything trying to create a convivial atmosphere. The main entertainment seemed to be watching the seagulls steal food. Plenty of water sports on offer and I guess that’s the main attraction, although you can come across as a day tripper to access all of that and not have to endure meal times.

We were blessed by great weather, but we wouldn't have minded just watching the world go by from our over water bungalow if we had to. Swimming with the turtles and fish is amazing, coral is average but if you've never seen much before then this is a great introduction. The island is busy on the weekends with day trippers so if you want a quiet stay then book for a weekday period. We made our own food for lunch and dinner to keep costs down but the breakfast buffet is fantastic and plentiful. Staff generally have good english and are very helpful as expected. We did hear a complaint from another visitor about the nesting birds being too loud for them at night, so if you do want a peaceful sleep then I'd recomend upgrading to the overwater bungalows. Overall it was an amazing stay and we were sad to leave!

Amazing location!

This property was better than what we expected. We saw lots of turtles and tropical fish on our morning walk around the island. Staff were very friendly and a snorkling tour to near by island was the unforgettable experience for our family due to swimming restriction in Noumea Council. Also hiring canoe is the morning was amazing as we spotted lots of turtles. I highly recommend this hotel for families.

Perfect place to relax and escape from the stresses of every day life.

A resort with a beautiful outlook. The overwater bungalow we stayed in was fantastic. Unfortunately, accessing food was an issue! Other than the breakfast buffet, very few options for lunch, other than a snack bar/cafe with very few options again. For dinner, it was either the buffet at AUD $130 per head or deep fried processed chicken and fish nuggets, fish fingers and chips. What a disappointment!
