Chateau Royal Beach Resort and Spa, Nouméa, New Caledonia

Great check in at front desk and helpful staff. Room appeared lovely at first. Unfortunately the fridge froze everything regardless of setting and was very very noisy. Pool area looks Georgeous from afar but the deck is aged and has nails protruding dangerously ..and a few rotten holes. HIGHLIGHTS: Watching the local tramp who we fondly named Le Chat Weasel (Cat weasel). He hung out with his posse on the beach directly in front of the pool and we would watch him bake his leather skin further as he tracked the sun and watched the topless women with glee and a pint in his hand! Another highlight was the Cockroach we discovered on the final morning..won't be thinking about that too much. The hotel was nice and quiet during our stay. The cost of drinks/food was just as extortionate as everywhere else on the island. The rooms here have a kitchen which is a big bonus. OVERALL..A good hotel that requires a touch of upgrading.

Amazing staff. Resort right on the beach, close to everything. Lovely amenities: tennis court, outdoor pool, SPA, gym. Staff is friendly and accomodating. They assisted with changing the room due to a lingering smell in our room even if the hotel was almost fully booked. Check-in/out was easy and fast. Room size is great for families/couples. Nice that you can prepare your own meals. Great views over the sea. Furniture is worn out and some room doors seem to have water stains on the lower side. Elevator was making some funny noises but never had trouble. Cleanliness can be improved. Wi-Fi is limited to 250MB (upload/download) per guest per day. Good for checking emails. Parking was safe and free.

Very nice place

Beautiful location, comfortable rooms, great service. Food was not of expected four-star standard (e.g. breakfast buffet lacking in options and all food offered was served cold, except toast disappointing).

Chateau Royale is on the best part of Anse Vata beach. Hotel is beautiful maintained with great restaurant , swimming pool looking out over the bay and lovely tropical grounds. Friendly staff

Great stay ,room and service wonderful,staff very helpful excellent pool, nice beach will return

A lovely small resort. Lovely local shops and bus service, plus great that you can order a water taxi from the beach. I enjoyed the spa and the swim up bar. My room was on a lower floor and looked over the car park which was a bit disappointing, so maybe investing in a better grade of room might be the way to go.

Great location right on the beach and handy to many local restaurants and patisserie

nice place in good location. short walk from shops and restaurants. not cheap but nothing is over there. casino next door but need long pants to enter. drinks super expensive. take duty free with you to hotel. duck island is great for the day and can get water taxi from hotel / nearby pontoon. aqua spa they promote is extra costs of approx $30 aud per person if you don't have included in package. we upgraded to front lagoon suite. awesome view but still get great view from lagoon room if looking towards pool side. right out front is one of the most popular beaches as sheltered from the wind

Fabulous hotel. We absolutely loved it - the room was spacious, immaculate and well equipped - with a separate living area and kitchenette.
