Nouvata

The hotel's location is the VERY BEST in town if you expect beach. Across a road with some acceptable traffic is the local nice beach where you find life. Hotel has a separated baby /kids pool - pools are clean. Staff is so far friendly and helpful - very ok. Rooms are spacious and the sea view was really nice in 6.7..th floor. Specially the premium rooms are very large, having a round bath tube...amazing :-) very fund. Rooms are equiped with a microwave, water cooker, little fridge.

Honestly... the hotel came just pretty much into its years. some maintenance is urgently recommended. Receptons desk needs to be painted, plastering of the walls needs some repair. quite some small small things summing up and leaving an impression of an old building. Breakfast is not included and pretty expensive in the attached restaurant. Wifi is called "included" but not true. It's only a some MB free access - and after that one has to pay. Such money making appears outdated for today's expectation about people living in WWW.

Proximity

Maybe stop the kids from jumping and doing bombs in the pool

Nice pool, great location easy to walk to everything. The room was exactly to be expected from a 3 star hotel, it was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We stayed in a standard room which really helped having the mini kitchen with the price of meals in Noumea. The reception was friendly when we had questions on buses and how to get to places. Never had any issue with the wifi like lots of the reviews. We used it morning and evening to check messages and it never ran out.

The aircon wouldn’t go below 26 degrees which might be ok for some but the maintenance guy told us it would just take a few hours and then never came back and it wouldn’t go below that. The main pool could definitely do with more sun loungers during peak time we ended up sunbathing at the kids pool a few times. Didn’t try the restaurant at all as the prices were extremely high

The studio appartment was exactly what we needed as a family. We didn’t need a room too big as it was mostly a place to rest, but was very comfortable. The room had a long desk attached to the wall, which made it practical for my wife to do her online studies. Another thing I liked was that they had a small sink to wash your cups and cuttlery, a bigger bar fridge than the ones found in the more expensive rooms and a big shelf made out of wooden cubes, making it easy for you to store your luggage or shopping. The bathroom was simple, clean and had one toilet, shower and sink. The hotel is also close to the beach of Anse Vata and surrounding restaurants, making it an excellent location for those not familiar with the area.

I wouldn’t say this is something I dislike but used to in New Caledonia, but don’t expect the same service you’d receive in prime touristic locations. When you request something such as a toilet brush from the reception, you will need to pick it up yourself. Otherwise, I found the staff very pleasant and helpful whenever they could assist.

We stayed in the budget building which was beach front away from the main nouvata hotel. We liked being able to come and go and not having to walk through the hotel every time. The balcony was great with sea views, as the room was small. Cleaning crew came every day with fresh towels which we appreciated. The beds were comfortable. Pillows were good quality. Sheets were clean and soft.

No plates, utensils or glasses. Only coffee cups with 2 teaspoons. No hairdryer. No shampoo or conditioner. Only body wash. Supplied were 3 coffee packets, 3 teabags and 3 creamer packets and 3 sugar packets. Music was blaring from the main hotel every night until 2am.

The hotel was clean, the staff was very helpful and friendly, and the location is pretty good.

There is wifi available but they limit it. Once it runs out you have to wait for it to renew. It was not nearly enough. I think I sent a couple of messages back and forth with family, and posted one story on social media and then it was gone. Not really an issue, but the hotel could use a bit of an upgrade. The rooms were a bit spartan, and the lock for the bathroom was faulty. A friend got herself locked in it, and we had to get the front desk to come get her out.

Perfect location. Easy access to beach, restaurants and walk track. Parking space available most of the time. Staff friendly and helpful. I have tried all types of room and there is one for every budget and stay.

Internet is not good, Need to purchase extra pack but still up and down. There was a big party one night in the event room, parking was full, and no space for the customer of the hotel. Had to park at 22pm in a small street behind the Anse Vata complex and walk back to the hotel with a departure the next day @4am, was not really nice.

Really enjoyed my stay at Nouvata for my first night in New Caledonia. The staff assistant our every need and made us feel very welcomed. Balcony view from my Premium room was Beautiful and the balcony was spacious with 2 chairs and table. Loved the space I had in my room and the way my bathroom was layer out with a big circle bathtub enough to fit 2 adults in. The Pool I really enjoyed swimming in to cool down and sun beds to relax on was a bonus. Nouvata location was really good and close by to the public stores n restaurant.

The Pool shape and how small it is and the hotel needs to provide every room with 2 hotel key cards, one you keep in the room to keep the aircon n fridge going then one to take with you while out of the room. Because once we took the key out to leave our room everything turns off which means we come back to a warm room and things in the fridge not cold n chilled.

Nice big room, bit tired but ok…comfortable beds, .good view over pool…big bathroom..but was hard to climb into shower over bath for older people ….no soap provided only shampoo..just a few little things missing for a deluxe room. Clean and quiet. Good air con. Good wifi.

We wanted a kitchen, but it was more like a cupboard, had jug and microwave but no crockery or cutlery, however was able to ask at kitchen for these. No water in kitchen had to do dishes in bathroom, not ideal.

The location is excellent and within a 1 minute walk to around 8 restaurants and 20 seconds to the beach. I walked out and swam every morning in crystal clear water. The premium rooms are quite large and the beds very comfortable. The oceanview was exceptional. The pool is excellent and probably the best of any of the hotels in Noumea.

The rooms are a little tired, especially in the bathroom, however the premium rooms are large and the beds were very comfortable. The airconditioner worked very well and was quiet. We thought the room was perfect for the price. The rollout bed we got wasn’t too flash so we used the couch for a 9 year old which was perfect. The pool is closed for maintenance for 2 weeks of the year and it was closed for 2 days for us, however we were able to use the pool at the Hilton next door as this hotel is part of the Hilton group.
