Hotel berhampiran Te Ra'ai, Pulau Easter

This review is for their car rental business only (we stayed elsewhere). They were exceptional and I highly recommend them! We rented an automatic car because of their competitive rates, and were very impressed with communication. The car was great, a few dents here and there but worked perfectly, and the four of us were very comfortable. Most importantly, the team was very flexible and responsive over Whatsapp, modifying our reservation on the fly as our indecisive selves added a day upfront, removed a day at the end, with multiple different pickup/dropoff locations. At the last minute, we decided to see the sunrise at Tongariki the morning of our reservation, and while there weren't automatic cars available, they were willing to send us a manual car the night before and switch it for the automatic later in the morning. Furthermore, when we realized that many park attractions required a guide, they were helpful and shared some ideas for what we could do independently, including an awesome hike. Many thanks for helping make our Rapa Nui stay awesome!

The hotel is beautiful and even better than the pictures. But more than that, the service is EXCEPTIONNAL. They anticipate all your needs, organize everything to visit the island, and provide us with very useful information. They pick you up at the airport with flowers necklace. The breakfast is delicious, very complete and for every taste. The pool area is amazing, so silent and calm with a beautiful view of the sunset. You can organize your guided tour, rent cars or biclycles directely with them. To conclude, this hotel is beyond my expectation, they take care of everything, you just have to enjoy your visit of Rapa Nui !

This is not a hotel. It’s your friend’s house who invited you over to spend some time in the most remote part of the world. That’s how welcome and pleasant I felt here. Marcelo and his family run this establishment. He’s a one stop shop for everything Rapa Nui. Marcelo welcomed me at the airport with a gorgeous lea. The hotel is off main street in a private alleyway. It’s simple, but offers and authentic experience. Marcelo’s family lives up front and the back has a nice patio, kitchen area and several rooms. I was solo, but my room had three beds. So I had plenty of space. I was welcomed with a yummy smoothy, and after that Marcelo just took care of everything for me, from giving me different tours, arranging a glass-bottom boat ride, booking a 4-wheeler for me to do some adventure exploration, arranging a show reservation, and taking me to the National park areas as a credentialed guide. Did I mention, he’s also the volunteer firefighter. I really enjoyed my stay here. The room is clean and comfortable. There were plenty of fans available if I needed them, but the heavenly cross breeze made those unnecessary. I loved that instead of serving breakfast separately, they encourage guests to sit around a bigger table. I met several interesting people this way. Felt great. The location is great. Walking distance from the town main street and less than 10 minutes from the town beach with several Moai’s. In terms of service, on the day I was leaving I asked Marcelo I’d like to buy a specific t-shirt and he drove me around to various shops till I got it. Then he made sure that I have my flight all the way to the security check point at the airport. Now that’s just awesome. I loved, loved my time at Kaimana Inn. It’s a whole experience, made special by the host and his family. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Three of us rented a room for just under a week in July of 2024. Hotel is in a great location, close to town, across from the water. Restaurant has great views of sunset. It was a nice cozy room. Staff was super helpful and always there when we needed them. Helped us book tours and gave good meal recommendations. Breakfast was sufficient. This is a remote island hard to get to with no permanent dock, so supplies are hard to come by. Do not expect US style of buffet with food that goes to waste. Do not expect fluffy soft 5000 thread sheets or fluffy towels. It is still rustic and it will and should stay that way. Perfect if you know and understand where you are going. This is not Hawaii. If you want the Hawaii experience do not come here. The one issue was that while we were there they fumigated the hallways and we had to be out of the hotel from 3 to 6 pm. I appreciate that they fumigate but more than over night notice would be welcomed.

The hotel offers free shuttle from the airport and also does tours around the island. The reception was very friendly and helpful. My room had a small patio with seating to watch the shore. The rooms are basic with good beds, linens, and bathrooms. It was clean. I had a good nights sleep there. The location is blocks away from some fine restaurants and the central area. There is a shopping center a block away for travel essentials. A basic breakfast is served in the mornings. A small store is also available in the hotel. Area around is pretty safe. Just be careful of the dogs in the street. They look friendly, but you never know.
