Oasis de Kiamu

The hotel is a dream, with houses and the pool in a beautiful tropical garden right between the beach and the cliffs of Lifou. Very good food and excellent bar, the capital of the island can be reached within few minutes, very friendly staff and a well-stocked shop at the reception. I was really happy and would immediately visit again; I wish the entire team of the hotel all the best during these difficult times in New Caledonia.

Déçu globalement L’accueil est froid voir même mauvais, pas du tout à l’image de la population de l’île de Lifou! Heureusement nous y sommes restés une seule nuit, il est préférable d’aller loger chez l’habitant bien plus accueillant !

Porte de chambre ajourée en sa partie basse. Nous avons dû mettre un linge pour boucher le trou afin que des "petites bêtesindésirables ne pénètrent". Mobilier de jardin en très mauvais état. Piscine sale mais propre le lendemain matin au moment de notre départ. Prix des prestations prohibitifs. Nous ne conseillons pas cet établissement, mais peut-être comme nous, vous n'aurez pas le choix.

Whilst the staff were OK, really this was a miserable stay for us. The power failed in our 2bed room 5 times over 2 days. The shower was broken, no shampoo, aircon unit squealed, door didn’t lock properly/safely, no water pressure, plastic garbage inside a Caesar salad, staff families getting drunk around eating area and pool leaving rubbish strewn until mid morning. Just not what I would expect after paying Au$300 per night.

Amazing staff and really nice, cozy place. I would say a solid 3/5 star hotel----not fancy but not missing out on anything essential. The small store area in reception is great if you've forgotten anything small. Wonderful mahi mahi dish and everyone is really friendly. The live music was great---seems like it is the place on Lifou to be for dinner on the weekend!

The room is nice---basic but comfortable. Some small issues (not worth mentioning at the time, just something thinking back) were: the shower head had to be carefully balanced/rigged to stay up and allow a shower---it's a handheld thing that would not stay attached to the mount. So it took some trial and error, but it worked out alright. The 2nd thing was the windows---none would open, so it made the room feel a bit stuffy unless you left the front door wide open.

The staff and management were exceptionally helpful. Our flight was delayed due to a strike for three days and the manager arranged all of the new travel arrangements. The food is fantastic.

Nothing in particular, it is an older complex and the rooms were basic, but clean and comfortable. There are no other eating places in the area and it is relatively isolated so a hiring a car is a good option.
