La Penina Hotel on the Algarve in Portugal remains one of the very best resorts in the Algarve

Hi friends before I tell you about this movie I thank you for visiting my blog and hopefully enjoying the benefits ... ... ... ....!
Where is Le Meridien Ile des Pins.
It is on Ile des Pins, Island of Pines is at the very south of New Caledonia in the South Pacific, probably one of the most beautiful places on earth. It rests next to the stunningly beautiful Oro Bay, which has a beautiful and spectacularly turquoise coloured lagoon, and powder white sand beach, and sits in a century old coconut plantation
 
How to get to The Meridien Ile des Pins
Normally to get to Le Meridien Ile des Pins from the USA you have to fly in via Fiji, although you cvan fly to Noumea directly from Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. The Island of Pines can then be accessed by local airline or by high speed catamaran. Quite a journey from Europe but so worthwhile.
What is Le Meridien Ile des Pins like
This very much depends on why you chose Le Meridien. As a honeymoon destination it is spectacularly romantic if somewhat inaccessible from Europe. On the other hand if you like frenetic activity you could find it boring.

If you don't mind slow laid back service, and the lack of inexpensive internet facilities, and the fact that expense makes mobile phone use inadviseable, but you love colour and beautiful scenery then this could be for you. However if you need things like a fitness centre and a large swimming pool, mind you why the hotel even needs a swimming pool with such a beautiful lagoon doesn't make sense really, then you might struggle.
This is the South Pacific, thousands of miles from home, and as a guest you need to realise this, presumably that was why you came
Accommodation at Le Meridien Ile des Pins
The 49 deluxe rooms and suites, are all well equipped and roomy.
If you want the best views from your bungalow, then try to book Bungalow 36.
Costs
Described as luxury at a price, please check out details below.
Food at Le Meridien Ile des Pins
La Pirogue restaurant offers French/Melanesian cuisine featuring fresh, island produce including just caught seafood and handpicked herbs from the garden. In all honesty you would not come here for the food, but again this is the South pacific. What can't be caught or grown here has to be imported. Put another way, the food quality is unpredictable, and be warned it is expensive
Activities at Le Meridien Ile des Pins
You can do nothing, and just enjoy the spectacular scenery and views. Go exploring, and even more understand how spectacularly beautiful the isle of Pines is.
Take a lagoon tour, go scuba diving, or snorkelling are very obvious things to do. The village of Vao is worth a visit, or you can go on a genuine south sea island outrigger trip around Oro or Upi Bay.
The Meridien itself organises Tai-Chi, learning tradition cooking called 'bougna'. Take lessons in traditional fishing way, or be taen to check out the local culture on a guided tour.
This is not a place to come, and water ski, or jet ski, and if you understand this before you come, then you will have a wonderful time.

Facilities at Le Meridien Ile des Pins.
There is a small swimming pool, but who wants a pool when you have a lagoon, and a well stocked Library, plus a snooker table, and you can play chess
Summary
If you accept the fact that European or USA standards do not apply in New Caledonia, then you will have a wonderful time. Just because a hotel is set amidst some of the most beautiful scenery on earth doesn't mean eveything will work like clockwork, and you will have the levels of food, and service you have come to expect at home.
This is an absolutely amazing place to come for a honeymoon, probably as a stopover for two or three days. Just enjoy what you see, and go with the flow when it comes to service and food, and come with deep pockets. The South pacific is not cheap, but you will remember the beauty forever.thank`s for all
