Escapade Îlot Maître

An amazing place to stay! Heaps of water activities like swimming with turtles and beautiful fish on the coral reefs. There is so much nature and beauty that it's hard to take it in all at once! The food is great too, the breakfast buffet is definitely a highlight! We've been here twice and we'll keep coming back!

This place was unreal. Magical slice of heaven with great service. All staff were unbelievably great and thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Snorkeling was great, swam with turtles all day everyday and many other tropical fish. Overwater bungalows were fantastic, well furnished and loved being able to walk straight into the water from our place. Comfy bed, great shower and amazing bath tub. Buffet dinner/breakfast were great. Highly impressed with quality of food. If you are a picky eater and prefer verity, might be better to organize to have dinner at main land as the food was the same for all three nights we stayed. The motorized water sport (separate business on other side of island with jet skis) was good. Great service and served nice food at the cafe. Highly recommend the chicken curry panini. Boat service to and from island was food. Very nice guys. None French speakers, might be best to learn a few basic French words or lines. Majority of people speak French. Highly recommend!!!!

Absolutely incredible! Stayed in an overwater bungalow for 3 nights and it was just beautiful. Swam with turtles daily, saw about 8 in one hour of swimming The staff are very friendly and speaking English was welcomed The food buffets were unbeatable with a good range of food to cater all Highly recommend!!

Loved our over the water bungalow. And the fresh crystal clear waters below. Lots of tropical fishes below. Amazing.... though the rest of the rest of the hotel really needs a face lift and maintenance. Great bar service too.

Very expensive, youre paying for the location. The rooms are old and tired, the paths are cracked and uneven. The food is extremely expensive and not worth it, with the exception of the afternoon tapas menu. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The island itself is amazing, heaps of fish, lovely clear water and a coral reef right outside the resort area. Recommend the island but not the hotel

Pro's: The island is beautiful, the water is clear and the snorkelling is amazing. The Buffet Breakfast and Dinner's are pretty good too. Also its easy to catch a free boat back to the main island to pick up supplies. Con's: Rooms are dated and need updating and maintenance. Robes have been washed a million times and are cardboard. There are sea snakes EVERYWHERE. That being said they seem pretty placid.

Was really amazing, stayed in the over water bungalows. would have been 5 stars if there was more variety in foods (more restaurants and/or different menu's) - during the day they have visitors come for a day on a cruise boat so they have little food shacks open which is nice. However for the people staying on the island don't have much options and the food and drink can be a bit pricey than you would expect. Other than that it was a great experience, crystal clear waters with a lot of marine life, great water activities and the guy that is in charge of the water sports is very funny!

Beautiful island, exceeded expectations. Reef was amazing just a short swim from over water bungalows. Swam with numerous turtles, sting rays and thousands of fish. Buffet food was great, bit pricey but normal for New Caledonia.
