I spent a night here in Jan 2011, and another 2 in Oct 2011. The rooms are starting to look a little run down and maintenance isn't always what you'd expect (we had 3 lights in our rooms that needed new bulbs), but it is a great spot to relax by the ocean and the buffet dinner is well worth it. The service was always great (by Pacific standards) and the staff at the front desk were happy to organise dive tours and boat trips for us. There is a great little reef straight off the beach that is good for snorkelling and reef walking at low tide, but it's not well advertised (I didn't know it was there on my first visit). My only real complaint is that there aren't any real options for meals in the area, and while the buffet dinner is nice, it would get expensive every night for a longer stay. That said, the bungalows have small fridges so you could stock up on basics if you needed. After two stays, I'd go back.

We spent one night at the Koulnoue Village during our trip across Grande Terre. We had a warm welcome and our bungalow was nice, cleaned and very spacious as it was a family accomodation with four beds. The location is amazing; beautiful garden full of palms surrounded by high black rocks on one side and sea and beach on the other. The buffet restaurant is very good and it is pleasent and relaxing having dinner/breakfast outside hearing the noise of the waves. I will deifinately suggest this hotel and Hienghene, with its vicinity, are amazing!

We spent two nights in the Koulnoue Village for the are no other choices to stay if you like to explore the north-east coast of New Caledonia. The resort is rather expensive and there is also little choice with regard to food, you either go with the buffet, which is CFP 3900 per person or go to bed hungry. The beach is nice for an extensive walk but you will miss the sand for beaching and swimming; it is all gravel. However, one has to accept that New Caledonia is an expensive island to explore for it lacks the infrastructure for individual tourism, so the price at the Koulnoue Village becomes relative.

We have arrived late at this hotel around 11pm, we were exciting to be in New caledonia and my boyfriend have kept a bottle of champagne for the occasion. but in the room there was no corkscrew so we went to the front desk and ask for it, but employees were so surprise about our question then, they decided to call the manager and this guy did refused our request, and said it was forbidden to have a bottle of champagne in our room.I wanted to say to this guy if you read this message, you are a shame for the French people ( I am one) and this absolutly not customer service that you have provided this night.New caledonia is REALLY far away and extremely expensive so I think it was an exceptional occasion for us to drink this champagne.
