Hotel Tieti

L'Hotel Tieti is an absolute gem of a place hidden 300kms north of Noumea on the West Coast of New Caledonia. Built in the mid 1980's, it is looking a little bit aged in some places but apart from that this hotel is superb. It is about a 4 hour drive north from Noumea and the roads are of a reasonable standard all the way. We stayed in a beachside bungalow and the staff and management (especially the Manager Yves) fell over themselves to make us feel welcome, safe and looked after. We were literally 15 metres from the white sand beach and the warm tropical waters. This hotel is very affordable and certainly popular with many folks, especially on long weekends. The accommodation is clean, well maintained and comfortable and everything is provided. Cooking facilities in the rooms are limited as the hotel restaurant is so well patronised, accessible and provides everything you could need. We did make our own breakfast, but other than that we generally dined at the hotel restaurant where the food is superb, plentiful and affordable. There is a fantastic pool by the restaurant and parking is in front of the reception with access to the bungalows by a system of boardwalks. This hotel is very well priced and affordable, by both New Caledonia standards and internationally. It is very near to a township called Poindomie which has several smaller supermarkets, ATMs and a pharmacy so everything you may need is very close. There is also a well regarded Dive business nearby. This hotel is a good base to use to explore further North (but the roads do get a bit rocky up there), as well as simply relax on the sand or in the water (but stay about waist deep in the sea). We highly recommend L'Hotel Tieti for an amazing New Caledonia get away.

Super !

I would recommend looking elsewhere This place had all of the opportunities to be something decent, unfortunately it is +++ tired, mouldy, bedding is stained ++ and extremely uncomfortable. Very limited Meal options means that if your child falls asleep pre the restaurant opening you aren’t able to really eat, due to no room service as wel as them deterring you from bringing outdoor food. Dinner buffet was 4,800 and wasn’t really that worth it in my opinion. Pool was actually quite nice however, but grounds need a lot of maintenance and rooms need to be totally refurbished.
