SPG hotels in New Caledonia

[gypsyinabigtown]

G'day all,
Me and gf are planning a week-long vacation in New Caledonia. I've got lots of SPG points recently so we're planning 3 days in Noumea and 5 days in Ile des Pins.
Has anyone stayed in them recently? Any feedback / views you'd share, especially on recognition of SPG status benefits?
Cheers!

I can't provide any input however you might get some response/s from the FT/SPG/hotel thread which you have posted in. Good luck.

I have only read/researched/looked at Ile des Pins a year or so ago but didn't follow through with going to NC.

Hi

The Meridien in Noumea is getting old and services are not good but if you can stay a week in New Caledonia without paying very high prices on hotels i strongly suggest to use your points.
The Meridien in Isle of Pines is very nice but don't expect more services there. 2 days are enough there.
If you have a budget to spend in another hotel (not Starwood one) i recommend you the Chateau Royal (brand new) with studio room where you can cook if you don't want to spend a lot of money in restaurants.
Hope it will help.
