This was a side trip early in a two-week, first-time visit to New Caledonia. We've holidayed on most other Pacific Islands over the years, including Tahiti, so our expectations were fairly realistic. PRO: The location was good, and the general plan and decor of this tropical island hotel is quaint. The local staff tried very hard to be helpful, but... More

After paying about $50 AUD for a buffet, we expected a little more - the lunch buffet looked like it was from the day before, food smelled funny and there was not a good variety. Hardly anything fresh. We both got food poisoning from it. The location is nice for a drink but not worth it for the food!

We booked this as part of a package, and were not disappointed with this hotel. Less than 3 minutes walk to the Baie de Kuto - a mile of sand like silk running through your fingers. Our plane left mid afternoon, and we were given fresh towels and a place to shower (even though it could have done with a... More

Kou Bugny has clean, fine rooms, but is let down by a fairly average restaurant. Breakfast buffet is limited and restaurant is expensive for fairly average meals. Its advertised activities (aqua bike, kayak) were not available. Wifi didn't work. The cruise ships that stop can also make or break your trip, as the beach and bar at Kou Bugny is... More

We stayed at Kou Bugny when our youngest daughter was only a few months old in 2003. we came back this year in November 2012 for a week with our 3 children. The hotel did not disappoint. It has not changed much, but has been carefully maintained. The Bungalow Famille which can accomodate 6 persons are cute, functional and cosy.... More

This hotel is a place to get away from it all: the setting is idyllic, right beside a long, long beach with white sands and a calm, turquoise lagoon. We had a bungalow suite consisting of a lounge area, a comfy double room, shower room, separate WC, a further 4 single beds on the mezzanine and a small terrace with... More

This hotel is where you want to stay. You have two beautiful beaches at only a short stroll and you have the walk to pic N'ga starting 1km from the hotel. That summit will give you a wonderful panorama of almost the entire island. The rooms have been recently refurbished and are massive in size. The breakfast is included and... More

We had friends staying at the Meridien at the same time and they agreed Kou-Bougny is a better location and your room is closer to the beach. The beach was wonderful and so much of it you could always find a spot under a shady tree well away from anyone else. I agree with most reviewers that the food is... More

We spent four days here, and loved it. The hotel is located on an isthmus between the beautiful baie de kuto and the bay de kanemera. The hotel is immactulately clean and very well run. The staff are helpful and efficient. Our "standard" tropical room was light and airey and beautifully furnished. The bedding matches the art work on the... More
