The cleaning services in the rooms was great, even if you'd said no cleaning today on the door, they still gave you call mid afternoon to make sure. Le Parc's photos were spot on, nothing differed when you actually got there. We had a beach front room (with the road inbetween) was lovely at night. Definitley have a litte French lanuage behind you (numbers, general manners), most do speak English, but ask first before starting to babble in English at them.
Apparently Le Parc waters the flowers on its roof on Fridays. We found this out when we were in the lift and the water was pouring down the walls of the lift shaft, staff in the building had never seen it, but the guy on main reception said this is due to watering the roof garden, (when we looked at aerial photos there was no garden on the roof), when we asked if guests were allowed to see the garden he said staff only as there were suicides some years back from the roof. We we mentioned that water mixed with electrics in the lift is dangerous, he said we were silly, of course there was no electrics, when we pointed out what was electrical he said he was insulted and of course he knew there was electrics in the lift - raving nutter.
An average meal for 2 set us back $60NZD, supermarkets and corner shops were cheaper options for lunches & wine.
South Pacific Francs were hard to get before entering the country - BNZ were able to supply. There are surcharges if you use credit cards for under the equivalent of $20NZD.
Highly recommend the trip out to the lighthouse & snorkling - Aquanature or Mary D do these tours. (for 2 people full day, this was $288NZD)
Buses were the cheapest way to get around, 200 francs for each bus journey, buy them on the bus or at the station in the main town there's a discount.
