I have never before in my whole life seen such a beautiful beach
4.0
We stayed at the Paradis D’Ouvéa hotel in February 2024…The island itself is an absolute paradise, a place straight out of a cliché book and an absolute postcard.. look in any direction at any time and you will get a visual overload of beauty…
The hotel however is a different story… this place is one out of two hotels on the entire island and by far the better one out of the lot. It is considered luxurious however, it need a serious cash injection in order to get serious TLC and undergo some major renovations… here are some of the points that truly need some attention
our room, smelled rather funky of humidity and a dire need of fresh air. There is no internet in the rooms.
There is no bell desk so you bring your stuff to your room… not a big deal but it is a big property
The boardwalk to access the rooms gets covered with berries from the trees above when it rains and therefore becomes incredibly slippery and treacherous (see photo)
The food at the restaurant is unbelievably expensive and mediocre at best… I don’t mind paying the equivalent of USD 38 for a plate of pasta but mine was downright inedible.
The hotel feels like it is dramatically understaffed and the service at the restaurant is distant and robotic. They do however make good cocktails and you need to try their infused rum (local vanilla and lemon)
All in all, there were a whole bunch of problems there but we chose to overlook them for the location is so remote and the surroundings are astonishing

Great location and wonderful views of the beach from our bungalow. Some facilities need maintenance while the table tennis table requires repair and no working balls to play it with. The breakfast was limited and not great quality, food quality is not at par and slow service at their restaurants compared to other establishments in the island with superior and very delicious menu options. They did not bring our luggage to our bungalow upon arrival which was odd but picked it up at check-out.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Amazing location with our room right on the beach. It was perfect and very private and relaxing. The whole hotel is amazing and beautiful. Some staff don't speak English which made it difficult at times - a few requests went unanswered. But overall, this hotel is excellent and highly recommended.
8.0
The location is fantastic. The bungalows very spacious. The restaurant is not so good but there's no other option. Recommend to improve the menu and opening hrs. The food wasn't always fresh and is too heavy. We brought our own beach toys. Loved the quite atmosphere everywhere.

Poor bedding, no water for a day long, long chair very old, poor mattresses, no free water in your room, expensive meal 4000 Fr per adult, cheese rotten served. No information offer to visit the key spot of the island, very disappointing! Lock door broken for half day lost. Do not clean your room every day. Manager not available at the hotel, very poor leadership.

We stayed for 2 nights in Nov 2019. You go to this place only for its perfect and beautiful location.... just have the right expectations: its not a 5* hotel, its prices can be misleading.Service is friendly but subpar, nobody will help you carry your luggage, any order at the bar will take forever, food is so-so.. My advice is just to go there for 1 or 2 nights, relax and enjoy the view. If you have a car, there are good eating options around, diving at the campsite nearby...

Seemed to be short staffed a lot of the time
The service culture was poor. It felt that we were putting the staff out if we asked for really basic help or service.
Island and location were great.

The location is perfect, a 10 minute walk on a perfect beach to the bridge and snorkelling with the fishes. (snorkelling gear is free). Pool was clean and nicely presented. The room we had was near the reception and road, the clear glass near the door meant something of a lack of privacy if standing in just the wrong place. Beds were somewhat basic. The bathroom was very basic and rather dated, with nowhere to hang towels and no replenishment of toiletries after our first night. Wifi was accessible in reception/bar/restaurant area, not particularly fast. The tour of the island was delayed by an hour and the lady taking us not very informative (we used a guide book to learn about some of the places we visited) even though we can understand French quite well. You must accept you are a captive audience and just kick-back and pay the price tag, it is worth it! Pool snacks were huge portions, restaurant was first-class. And the beach heavenly. Add to that generous servings at the bar. And glorious sunsets. And, did I mention the beach?

For relaxing I would say this is one of the perfect spots. If you however are looking some excitement maybe not since during my stay at the hotel the bar usually closed around 9-10 pm and at that time I where alone in the bar. I had hoped on doing some diving during my stay but that didn't happen due to to few others interested in it.
However with all this said I would without a problem recommend the hotel if you are a couple who want some time alone with a great view of the sunset and I would recommend the island tour which I that was very nice even thou I do not speak French.
I almost everyone forgot, the beach I would say is at least five kilometers long. I ran three km one way and we're not even close to the end of it.

Had a great relaxing time. Beautiful views. Everything was quite expensive... but we didn't mind that because we were in a great location. The food was very poor. We even went on hunger strike on the last night cos we couldn't face another meal in the main facility.

Trading off the location, the rooms are shabby and need a good revamp if charging this price. Tatty couch, bed cover, and fly/mosquito screens missing from some windows, a couple of good cockroaches, really disappointing.Food in the evening was good due to having a good chef, and you pay for it, but the included breakfast was truly dire.All gave the appearance of a hotel struggling to make its way.

Such a disappointment. A beautiful location with lovely accommodation but incompetent management. Here's my reasons why:1. There was no way to recognise the driver from the hotel who picked us up at the Magenta airport. Luckily a lovely local pointed him out to me.2. There is no porter service. On checking in, they give you a map and point out " Here's your room".3. There is only powdered milk for tea and coffee available. We had to pay 1,000 francs to be driven to a shop to buy long life milk. Even on Samoa they have real milk!4. The safe didn't work but was replaced in a timely fashion. The light above the bed did not worked but was not replaced at all. And of course the wonderful white bedsheet thrown over the disintegrating couch was there!5. Unfortunately there was a (mild) cyclone while we were there and there was no water Sunday and Monday, and when we got back from two nights stay at an evacuation centre, the water was on and off again.6. Organisation of the evacuation by the hotel was an example of what not to do as management. On one occasion when the Resort Manager was asked for sheets to sleep on at the evacuation centre, his reply was something to the effect of "..sure if you can drive to the resort and pick them up..." So much more to say but no more room....

My wife and I spent 5 nights here. Note that, based on previous reviews, I decided to book a deluxe bungalow on the lagoon for a bit more money – I’m happy I did. On balance, there are more positive than negative points about staying here, so I’ll start with the positive. First, the beach is gorgeous with clean white sand; CNN may be correct in listing it as the #1 beach in the world (I have seen many beaches), and it is right in front of the bungalows with the clear turquoise water located about 20 meters from the bungalow. The temperature is such that you can fundamentally stay in the water as long as you wish. But the water is also not too warm either, as it is sometimes elsewhere in the world. The maximum 25-cm high “surf” is such that it would be fine for young children. Furthermore, stepping out on the beach, it was often possible to look a couple km in each direction and see no one else on the beach. Watching the sun set across the beach was great. Second, the bungalow itself was quite spacious, and the deck with lounge chair was an added pleasure. The AC (in bedroom area) functioned well, which is good for sleeping comfortably. The deluxe bungalows are spaced well enough apart that privacy is ensured. The modest-sized pool is quite attractive. The lunch-and-snack restaurant by the pool, Café Le Jardin d’Eden, is very good. Breakfast provided by the hotel in the main dining room is good, but not great; for example, scrambled egg

Rooms were spacious, clean and rather luxurious island living.
Definitely worth learning some basic French as many of the locals/workers do not understand English however they do their best to assist with any matters.
Resort is very private and relaxed. You can definitely spend the days doing nothing or filling your day up with lots of activities/exploring the island.
