The only 5-star hotel in the Noumea area. As is expected, we do not feel much dissatisfaction with hotel itself in Marriott series. Breakfast is free for all members if you are a Platinum member of Marriott or higher. There were many pool chairs, so there was no problem even if the room was full. The hotel's beach is very small, but it continues to the beach of the neighboring Chateau Royale and beyond. It is a bit disappointing that there is a step between the wooden deck and the sandy beach.
The hotel itself is quite old though it has just been renovated. In addition, it is full of resort feeling, but if traveling on remote islands such as Ouvea and Ile Des Pin, other convenient hotels may be better. Inconvenient to go everywhere because the place is the most out of place. The shopping area and restaurants around the Hilton Hotel are a 10-minute walk away. There is no Japanese staff at present, but there is one staff who can speak Japanese.
Unfortunately, it was okay until 4 pm to ask for a late check-out on arrival, but at 12:00 the staff came to urge me to leave the room early. The card key has also become unusable. These areas are still New Caledonia, so you won't be able to tell them at all unless you check them over and over. I was sorry that I made a reservation for 2 rooms but did not become a room next to each other. It would have been nice to have a connecting room between neighbors.
