Le Méridien Nouméa Resort & Spa

We had a fantastic time at Le Meridian. The staff was so friendly and kind, they went out of their limit to make us feel comfortable. The resort’s facilities are well maintained and have great views. The beach is nice, with clear water. Just a few steps from the hotel we ate delicious seafood at Le Roof. And when we wanted something different and less fancy we walked to Anse Vata, a small area full of restaurants and shops that opens 7 days a week. We were concerned about food before going there, a lot of reviews said that the resort’s restaurants were closed and so on. But that was not our case, we always had food and drinks available in and outside the resort. There was a night we wanted something different and special and the resort booked us a table at La Marmite et tire Bouchon, and it was delicious. Important, no matter the weather, do not miss the Tjibaou cultural centre. It’s just magnificent!

The location

Fantastic rooms. Garden rooms looked over garden and pool very serene. Location was fantastic with plenty of parking and close walk to restaurants and some great beach walks close by.

Room was spacious and we were lucky enough to be upgraded to an ocean view room. Buffet breakfast included was more than ample, on a Sat/Sun morning and they have a larger selection than weekday. Creme brûlée and lemon meringue if that takes your fancy for breakfast! Pool (which is massive) was closed first day but took a dip in the ocean and the view from the lounges is beautiful. Don't think the walk to restaurants in Anse Vata is far but we hired a car so never did it. They had plenty on-site parking. Free pool towel and snorkel hire. There's no supermarket close to the resort.

The hotel is gorgeous in a beautiful localisation, in front of the turquoise sea, the staff is amazing, super friendly and helpful ( big up to Alan & Jeremy), the pool is amazing and not too busy, breakfast buffet is good with lots of options. Our room was really clean, splendid view, bed really confortable, wifi incredible it even works when you are outside of the hotel until the pool the beach the restaurant around.
