Hi all,

we are going to New Cal in November for kitesurfing. Both beginner-intermediate kite surfers. We are bringing our two kids (5 and 1 year old)? kind of have to, I guess :)

Anyways - just after some advise: Should we got to the Island and book the hotel Ilot de Maitre and kite surf that spot for a week OR should we stay at the Le Meridien in Noumea and kite surf that spot? Got my info from here http://need2kite.com/location/new-caledonia/#spots

Thing is, the island hotel can only pick us up the next day from Noumea and would have to drop us back off in Noumea a day earlier? so we would have to stay at a different hotel after and prior our flights. Its getting more complicated - especially with the kiddos. And then I read reviews that the hotel Ilot de Maitre is actually pure boredom for the kids and dinner is really late etc etc?..

SO - Bottomline is : CAN SOMEONE let me know how the spot at the Le Meridien is? IS it ok for our level? HAs anyone been there, done that (maybe even with kids in tow)????
Any advise and tips appreciated!

Thanks all :)

I know a fair bit about new cal if you want to pm me
