We stayed at Explora Rapa Nui for 3 nights in December 2011 and had a wonderful exprience. The room, the public area, the food, the tours and the service in general were all outstanding. The head tour guide Joann is from Newport Beach, California, and she gave us excellent advice on which tours to take. She also took us on... More

Explora anything/anywhere is a phenomenal experience, and this is really a 4 1/2 star rating. The hotel facility meets that unique blend of luxury in the middle of an out of the way outdoors adventure that does not feel out of place or uncomfortable or tacky in the least. In contrast, it fits the environment perfectly. The rooms are attractive... More

I looked at every single inn, guesthouse, B&B, and hay-filled manger on Easter Island before choosing this property. Given the cost, I was worried my high expectations wouldn't be met, but all in all, they do a very good job.

I spent 2 nights. The room was great: I was upgraded from basic to ocean view. What a nice large room. The breakfast is fantastic. Food on the island is very expensive. Eat all you want for breakfast. The location of the hotel is great. More

Joanna and her team invite you like house guests into their unique world where the mysteries unfold around you. The excursions with local guides are truly thought provoking and you are drawn back to the... More

this is where the hungry come to feed, for mine is a generation that circles......... EVERYTHING was perfect and i mean EVERYTHING! More

Latin America is a fascinating travel destination with many special places to visit but when we talk about Explora we talk about a unique life experience, about magic, about the art of travel... I have experienced all 3 Explora properties and I can only say that Explora is the result of combining... amazing staff with the remote location of Patagonia,... More

Our trip started off badly - the plane from LA to Santiago turned back due to mechanical difficulty. [However, Lan Chile went above and beyond to help us reschedule everything.] We finally got to Easter Island two days later than we expected. The hotel had just moved our reservation back two days at no extra cost. Then we went in... More
