Le Méridien Ile des Pins Reviews

A lovely stay. We enjoyed our ability to borrow kayaks and take them out on the water.

My wife and I had a very nice 4 night stay at Le Meridien Isle of Pines. The hotel is just a little bit tired, it has a bit of the patina of being used. Some broken tiles, a few gaps in the joins etc. But overall it is quite lovely and daily maintenance is very good. The cleanliness was faultless. I'd read of ants and cockroaches in some reviews. Absolute rubbish. It is very well kept. The location is superb. The facilities like kayaks, snorkelling gear, pool and restaurant were very good indeed. Our cabin on the river was lovely and the bed superbly comfortable. The natural pool had some of the best snorkelling, the variety of marine life and some of the corals were amazing. Fantastic. Swimming, kayaking and snorkelling off the beach was also great. My only disappointment was the evening meals. Our first night I had a tateless over cooked fish dish. The next two nights were very good. On the last night, a Saturday, they have a buffet or you eat in your room. The buffet was 4950 francs ($75 Australian $) each. We don't eat that much and with drinks it was a pretty expensive meal. The quality of the food was very good but it wasn't what we wanted and there is no choice. The staff were lovely. Some can't converse in English but they and we tried and many are fluent in both.

I stayed in a garden view room and it was a very beautiful room. I've stayed at other hotels, and while the other hotels only had shower rooms, this one had a bathtub, so it was nice and spacious. Unfortunately, there was no toothbrush as an amenity. It was nice that we could rent out things like saps and canoes for free.

I stayed at the only 5 star hotel in Nouméa! The location is by the sea, and relaxing on the terrace felt very comfortable! The spa is also famous and comfortable! The breakfast was also very delicious and I would love to stay there again!

I stayed at Meridian because I wanted to go to Pissing Nature. The plan I booked included a transfer fee and a paired massage. The massage felt good and my husband was satisfied. There is only one restaurant so there are no options for meals. I don't think it's delicious at all, but it's expensive. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is very romantic, so I would like to stay there again when I go to Ile des Pins.

Very nice location but aging hotel in need of renovation. Average restoration.
