Upon our arrival at the airport a man from the hotel was holding a sign with my name on it, he had lei's for us & then he drove us 2 minutes to the hotel. That made us feel special! At check in, Ali was very kind, upgrading our room to a suite since the pool was under construction. We walked through many corridors to room 148. The room had two bedrooms (a full & 2 twins), a sitting area & a small bathroom. There isn't anything impressive about the hotel. There are four very thin walls, beds & a bathroom. You can hear people talking through the walls. We took cold showers several times as the gas to heat the water was out. There are cockroaches in the rooms, and you may see rodents if it rains. Be prepared. The mosquitos were not bad during our stay but the weather was chilly, rainy & overcast. There is a breakfast served but it's very limited; instant coffee, tea, juice, cereal, one type of cheese & one type of lunch meat, a few pastries, jelly & bread. You may request scrambled eggs but they most likely will not be cooked all the way. We knew going into our 3 night stay that The hotel is about a 15 - 20 minute walk to town. If you want to rent a scooter you must have a motorcycle license from your country.

We only needed four walls & a bed, we were prepared for the conditions. This is a 1-2 star place. Everyone at the hotel was very kind, friendly and as accommodating as possible.
Please note that you must buy the ticket to enter the Rapa Nui National Park at the airport before you get your luggage. You many only visit each site 1 time, you cannot return multiple times!More
