Search Best Hotels in Anse Vata

We stayed at the Hotel Le Lagon for 7 nights. It's located outside of the centre of Noumea in an area called Anse Vata and is located about a 100 metres from the beach. The welcome at the hotel was friendly and that was the general vibe of the hotel. Our room was a suite with a kitchenette, sofa and a small dining area. In addition there was a separate bedroom with a huge comfortable bed and en-suite bathroom. The only drawback to the bathroom was the shower was in the bath and stepping in and out can be a bit difficult. There was also a balcony with a table and chairs. The hotel has a dining area, heated swimming pool and spa and a gym. We took an aquarobics class one afternoon (free) and had lots of laughs with it. Not only is the hotel close to a nice beach but there's plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants there too. There's a very nice bar not more than 50 metres from the hotel. In the opposite direction, towards the city centre, there's a great boulangerie, a couple of alimentation magasins, and a fabulous small wine shop called Terre De Vignes (highly recommended). Further on is an Auchan supermarket, so self-catering is very easy. There's a bus route down at the beach, so it's easy to get to the centre of Noumea. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay at Le Lagon. It's in a great location and the staff are excellent.

A perfectly situated hotel opposite the only beach open in Noumea (rest closed due shark attack). A 24 hour check in desk staffed by very pleasant and obliging women. Close to many resturants, and commuter bus to downtown Noumea. We booked a balcony room and delighted in watching the passing parade.

I arrived very late, close to midnight, and had sent the hotel an email notifying them of this. However, I never received any reply. On arrival, though, reception was open and I was quickly checked in by a friendly receptionist who spoke some English – not much, but we got along. My ”deluxe” room on the second floor was, according to the floor plan, the smallest room on the whole floor and the only one without a bathtub. Nothing deluxe about it, quite the opposite. The hotel really lives up to its name, Le Paris, as Paris is full of these ubiquitous three star hotels with dated, cramped rooms. My room felt reasonably clean, however, it reeked of decades of cigarette smoking and could really use a refresh. There was a soft bed called a double, but it would be narrow for two, a desk and chair as well as a fridge that was not turned on. The safe worked, the A/C was effective and the wifi was reliable albeit a little slow. There was a clock on the wall, however, it did not work. There were no water bottles in the room, but they had some for sale downstairs. The bathroom was small and came with a shower cubicle where the handheld shower had good water pressure and ample hot water. The only amenities provided were two wall-mounted containers: hand soap and a combined hair and body soap. Check-out time was 10:30 am, which must be the earliest check-out time I have ever seen. A ”late” check-out at noon would have incurred an extra charge of approx. 25 €. I could levae my bag at reception for a few hours on checking out, though. I stayed here for one night because I had a late arrival and I also wanted to see the city centre before moving to a beach hotel in Anse Vata. For this purpose, the hotel did its job, but I would not be happy staying here for more than one night. The hotel enjoys a very central location two blocks from Place des Cocotiers and is within easy walking distance to anything in the city centre. The cathedral is right behind the hotel, and you are reminded by this each hour as the church bells ring, day and night. I paid 71 €, no breakfast included, and felt the hotel was more or less worth the price.

We arrived by water taxi from Noumea, it takes around 30 minutes. Lovely journey. Place on arrival looks like paradise. The whole resort is owned by Double Tree Hilton exclusively. There’s nothing else in the island except the resort and a beautiful beach with turtles and sea creatures. The little bungalows are adorable, some in the water, others on the resort. On arrival, whilst I was waiting to check in, I had a great massage in the spa by a Thai girl. However, the service is lacking, and the food was pretty diabolical, which is such a shame because this place is Paradise.
