Dining in the South Seas:
Noa Noa Restaurant taps local flavours and the chef’s French savoir faire to create fine buffet and à la carte selections for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

You can dine indoors or on the patio, which twice a week becomes the stage for themed dinners and lively entertainment.
