"We really enjoyed our stay here. Staff at the front desk were always so lovely and spoke great English. Room was great and cleaners did a good job keeping it clean, we got it quite sandy one day and they did a great job cleaning. Beach was AMAZING, better than any of the beaches visited in New Caledonia including private beach at the Hilton resort. Free kayak and other sports equipment was great and the man to book these through was really nice and even saw dolphins at the beach one day and came running out to tell everyone. Wifi wasn’t great, was slow and would disconnect but when you have a beach so great right there you won’t want it. Staff at restaurants were a little bit of of let down, due to location of lodge and not having much on the island you are left with no choice to go to the restaurant at the resort, there was no menu and each time we wanted to order something the staff would just say one or two things they could cook and didn’t know the price, they weren’t too friendly and didn’t speak any English apart from one really lovely lady. We stayed for two nights and spent three days doing nothing else but sitting on the loungers at the beach and swam. Would definitely go back and highly recommend to anyone else "

"A beautiful location almost surrounded by water. Service was excellent and the staff are very friendly. The problem for us was the room lighting; it was a like being in a twilight zone ! It was too dim to read a book! The other problem was that we were unable to access the Internet on our i-Pads in the room, though the phone connection was good."
