DoubleTree by Hilton Noumea Ilot Maitre Resort

The overwater bungalow was absolutely beautiful. We stayed in bungalow 157, which had sunshine on the balcony all day, making it the perfect spot to relax. One of the highlights was simply being out on the water—watching the incredible sunsets, spotting colourful fish swimming through the coral below, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. It was such a calming and memorable experience. Swimming with the turtles was unforgettable. There were so many of them, and being able to see them up close in their natural environment was truly magical.

The island is in desperate need of a renovation, as many areas feel very dated and tired. While the overwater bungalows were clean and tidy, they are definitely showing their age and could benefit from a major refresh. The food was quite disappointing, with limited options and a lack of quality compared to what I expected. The beds were also extremely soft, which wasn’t comfortable for me as I prefer a firmer mattress. The Hilton Honors VIP area. It was very neglected and offered no value, to the point where the VIP sign should be removed.

L’accueil, le cadre idyllique, la propreté des lieux, le confort… le dépaysement était ce qu’on voulait.

Quiet, beach, pool food and bar area

Nothing!

Nice clean and large villa - great location. Good gym.

Food very expensive and limited options.

Le sourire et surtout l’organisation.

Rien.
