Hotel Paradis d'Ouvéa

We feel a hotel that was built 20 years or more ago, in a superb setting, with enormous potential, but which is sorely lacking in maintenance. This hotel is under private/public management (an SEM), it is not my fault of the managers who do what they can. The staff as well: despite the frankly aging rooms and the overall lack of maintenance, all the staff are attentive and frankly efficient. And the catering is really top notch. Including value for money. In short, a hotel with enormous potential, in an idyllic setting, with competent and pleasant staff, all that is needed is a little investment for it to be worth the price. thank you for everything

きれいな海の目の前のバンガローを利用させていただきました。周りには何もなく、売店などのお店すらもありませんが、とても静かでリラックスできました。 夜はバーカウンターが設置され、ワインだけでなく、カクテルや生ビールを飲むことも可能でした。 チェックインの際のジュースがとても美味しく、大満足でした。

It was my first time staying at Ouvea. They upgraded me from garden view to sea view (they didn't have twin rooms). It felt very local. The options and information given to me were different depending on the front desk staff. (You can ask a different staff member when you don't like anything.) The room was very spacious and comfortable. There were hibiscus flowers everywhere, which made me excited. It was the most luxurious vacation, right in front of the white sand beach and with almost no people around. The food was really not that great (especially the breakfast). The omelette was like it was mixed with flour, it was the first time I'd ever had such a bad taste. The fried eggs were the best. The price was quite high at night, but the decoration was nice. As expected, there were hibiscus flowers on display, so it looked good in photos. It was 2,050 Pacific francs per bicycle for a day. I tried riding it to the other side of the bridge in the evening, but it was a sports type and my butt hurt so I couldn't ride it for a long time. I wanted to use it the next day, but I stopped and asked to charter a car. The driver was very good, we went snorkeling around the island, and we also did some shopping, so we were very satisfied (I exchanged Facebook with Stephanie and I think I'll ask her again next time). The car charter cost 8,400 Pacific francs (about 10,000 yen) for two people, and took us to a shop for about 4 hours. I really liked the dress that a local woman was wearing, so I would like to have Stephanie take me shopping there again (I looked at a lot of things in Noumea, but I wasn't sure if they were good).

The place is superb but the hotel has aged and the rooms could do with a serious renovation. The staff is lovely, the food is very good, the buffet is great and the chef is very competent and very friendly.
