Easter Island Chalets

"The property and staff exceeded our expectations. The included breakfast was really good. If we make it back the Rapa Nui (Easter Island), we would want to stay here again. Be sure to have WhatsApp installed on your phone. This is the standard way to communicate with everyone on the island. The owner, Odette contacted us to confirm our arrival flight and met us at the airport with a van. The property was a little out of the way, but worth the hike or ride. She gave us contact info for locals we could call for rides. About $6 to anywhere in town. We used them a few times and hiked back once, along the ocean. We had room 4 on the second floor, corner. It had a nice ocean view and a huge balcony deck and a wonderful tradewind cross breeze, which saved us. One day the power went out island wide, until well into the evening. Our room was comfortable and we got to do some star gazing."

"Our stay at Hotel Tauraa on Easter Island was truly exceptional and unforgettable. From the very first moment, the owner/manager Wolfgang made us feel incredibly welcome. He personally greeted us, which already set the tone for the entire stay. His hospitality went far beyond expectations—he even helped us resolve and rebook our tickets, which could have easily become stressful without his support. What really stood out was the level of personal care. Every morning, Wolfgang would bring us fresh apples—such a simple gesture, yet it made us feel genuinely cared for. It’s these small, thoughtful touches that make this place so special. The breakfasts were absolutely amazing. Not just standard hotel food—each morning was a unique, custom-prepared experience. Everything was fresh, delicious, and clearly made with attention and pride. This is not just a place to stay—it’s a place where you feel like a valued guest, not just a booking. If you’re visiting Rapa Nui, Hotel Tauraa is a hidden gem, and Wolfgang is the kind of host that turns a good trip into a truly memorable one. Highly, highly recommended."

"Tupa Hotel is primitive compared to a budget hotel in the US. No AC in any of the rooms & humidity is about 75-80% every day with temperatures only fluctuating a couple degrees per day & night. March 2026 78 during day, 75-76 at night. Only the receptionist speaks English. Breakfast is deli meats, cheeses, bread, coffee, tea, yogurt, fruit. The staff is incredibly friendly & do their best to accommodate your stay. Chickens, horses, dogs roam loose. Groups of guests can be extremely rude, self-righteous, and pretentious. This is a good choice to sleep & shower but luxury it is not. If you’re here to experience the island, stay at Tupa. If you’re here for a world class experience, pay a lot more to stay somewhere else."
