Mana Nui Inn

The staff were extemely friendly, breakfast was great and cabin was spotless. The only issue we had was that we Stayed in a cabin with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Only one bathroom (the ensuite) had hot water, the main bathroom and the kitchen both only had cold water. They had a look on our first day but didn't fix it.

My two friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the four days spent at the Mana Nui Inn. Being within walking distance of the Ahu Tahai was a great way to start our exploration of the island. We rented a car from the Inn and had no problems getting around to see the sites. The Inn, though rustic, was very clean and the service was excellent. While we were not as close to the shoreline as we had thought, we could hear the breakers and it was a fun place to be. We didn't see any other place we would have preferred to stay. Mana Nui was the right choice.

Wonderful Place. Even though my plane was 90 minutes late, they were still there waiting to pick me up at airport which was much appreciated. A little spotty on internet service but then who really wanted to be in touch with the US while there. Overall, highly recommended.

This was our second hotel in Hanga Roa. It was considerably more expensive than the first hotel, and was not worth the extra expense. The hotel is in the middle of downtown, which makes it convenient for shops and restaurants, but very noisy; also, since it is in town, there is no view other than of the inner courtyard. The Kare-Kare (local dance) is next door -- plan to listen to it from your room between 9 pm and 11 pm. Walls between rooms were very thin and we could hear our neighbors packing. The shower was great with high pressure and abundant hot water; coffee (Nescafe) in the room was nice. Oveall, it was an OK choice, but there seem to be much better options that are less noisy and less expensive.

Easter Island is a very special and friendly place, and this hotel is no exception. They are genuinely interested in you having a pleasant stay. The breakfast was great and different every day. Rooms were clean and large. It took 5-7 minutes to walk to 7 different restaurants and 10-12 minutes to town. You can see the sea from all rooms and 2 minutes to a Moai altar (one of many in the island). Easter Island has two types of hotels: inexpensive and very expensive and nothing in between. This one is on the inexpensive side. It's family run (no huge amenities, spa, pool, etc). However if you are interested in amenities then stay at the others for >$500. So considering price, other similar hotels in the area, etc. it's a good buy and that is why I rate it so well. The island is small, far from anything and its expensive since everything is brought by boat >3000 miles away, so keeping that in mind, the price was reasonable. If you want to be with locals, stay here; if you want a chain place then stay at the expensive ones. We would stay there again.

Great service. Great location to town. Wonderful views of the ocean.

Good location near coast and some moais - only a 10 minute walk to town.

While hotel choices on Rapa Nui are either very modest and rustic (+/- $130) or outrageousy expensive ($1500 pps/nite), this simple family run hotel is suitable, modest and within very short walking distance to Tahai. The family staff were friendlly and gracious, the room simple but suitable. There is no Fairmont or Hyatt here, so you've got to work with what you're given. Showers can be very cold with limited hot water depending on the time of day, but get you clean none the less.

very nice grounds, beautiful room; staff were helpful. Great garden with deck chairs where you can relax outside your room, and a nice patio in front of the room. Breakfast was tasty. Nice location with some restaurants close by and some beautiful moai heads nearby as well. A nice choice for your Easter Island stay!

Thanks a lot for this warm welcome! It was an honor to be your guest and I am defenitly looking forward to be coming back. Both Bicky & Patricia are the nicest; the rooms are very comfortable and clean with a great view on the ocean and a few moais and ahu! The neighbor are the most quiet so there is nothing better than being waken-up by the sound of the waves! Thanks again for everything. Mattieu
