Hilton Noumea La Promenade Residences

“The high point of aour ten-day stay.”

We stayed 9 nights in an apartment on the 9th floor - great view over the ocean and the passing parade. Excellent set-up in the apartment itself and a good buffet downstairs.

We stayed 9 nights in an apartment on the 9th floor - great view over the ocean and the passing parade. Excellent set-up in the apartment itself and a good buffet downstairs. Staff were very patient with my high school French and quickly spoke in English ! It's not within walking distance of Noumea itself, but there a variety of accompanied tours going there. With a museum that has a model of the "EMDEN" but with no information that it was eventually destroyed in battle by HMAS Sydney in early 1914. Nor was there any reference to Australia's help in September 1940 in the overthrow of the Vichy French administration. The presence of HMAS Adelaide at that time was undoubtedly a stabilising force and allowed a negotiated and respectful withdrawal of the Vichy-controlled sloop Dumont d‘Urville, carrying those professing allegiance to Petain, thus putting an end to the Vichy presence in the South Pacific. Plenty of local cafes and restaurants and small supermarkets within walking distance.

We stayed at this hotel three times in January, twice in garden view rooms and once in an ocean view room. Our rooms were very comfortable, modern, quiet, well-appointed and clean, each with a balcony and kitchen. All three rooms actually had views of the ocean, the difference being that the ocean view was on a higher floor. The kitchen was very functional - we used it a couple of times to cook meals. The staff were friendly, really helpful and efficient. The swimming pool was much appreciated, but note that the stairs to get into the pool are ladder-style. The beach is just in front of the hotel and there is a bus route on the beach road with a stop in front of the hotel. There are restaurants, cafes, fast-food, mini-markets, a pharmacy, a butchershop and a bakery close-by. We did not eat at the hotel restaurant. We have no hesitation in recommending this hotel – our stay was faultless!

“Great location with the beach across the road.”

Every time we spoke with reception staff they were fantastic and met every need in spite of our speaking English. With the beach perhaps a 3 minute walk, shops in the complex at ground level, more restaurants and shopping 5-15 minutes walk away … its location is fantastic. Cabs can be called, buse… lisää

Every time we spoke with reception staff they were fantastic and met every need in spite of our speaking English. With the beach perhaps a 3 minute walk, shops in the complex at ground level, more restaurants and shopping 5-15 minutes walk away … its location is fantastic. Cabs can be called, buses stop in front of the property and free parking is available. Swim in the resort pool, locally under direction or in the enclosed area up the beach. Our ocean view room was fantastic with views of beaches, islands, wind surfers, yachts, shipping and cruise liners. Dusk often saw beach volleyball games amongst the locals. Our room had an en-suite, laundry, kitchen with fridge and stove and balcony furniture.

“Nothing really wrong, but not that great either”

Mum, Dad, 2 adult sons and their partners for two stays of 2 nights each either side of cruising.

Mum, Dad, 2 adult sons and their partners for two stays of 2 nights each either side of cruising. Whilst the room had been recently 'renovated' there were a number of frustrations: - Noisy air con units - Backlit mirrors in the ensuite that is very bright at night - Curtains that don't open/close very well That stuff alongside a delayed check-in because the room wasn't ready was a bit frustrating. Good stuff was: - Good location with restaurants etc nearby - Great view out over the bay - Good communal areas to relax in - Kitchen that allowed breakfast and lunch dining when required
