Hotel Puku Vai

Close to airport One thing I really liked about this place was it’s literally walking distance from the airport, about two blocks away. The transfer company had my flight wrong so didn’t show up, and I really wanted to get to the hotel to use the pool, so I walked, and it was fine. They actually let me into my room early, which was very kind, and let me check out late because I was coming back from a beach excursion and wanted to have a shower. Good breakfast, nice, big room, clean, and lovely pool! My friend had wanted lunch one day but apparently you have to give 24 hours notice as they are only equipped for breakfast. That is the only thing that might be a downside because it is a bit of a walk (10 min) to another restaurant, and about 20 minute walk to town. It was an amazing experience, Easter island is a fantastic place.

Very attractive building around a nice but unheated swimming pool in well kept grounds. Good sized rooms with comfortable beds. The temperature was just right so you didn’t need the AC which made for a very comfortable night. Breakfast was just about adequate. There were no pastries and very basic sliced bread. There were however decent yoghurts and eggs were cooked to order. No decaffeinated coffee. The place seems to be run almost single handedly by a very cheerful and helpful lady. This hotel is perhaps just a bit further from the town than is ideal. It’s a pleasant walk though there is a surprising amount of traffic around and there are shops and restaurants within 10 minutes walks including a garage which will change money for you, but it gets a bit wearing trekking 30 minutes to the Main Street every day. There was a sitting space outside the room overlooking the pool, which wasn’t heated but was bearable to swim in. Reception closed at 7pm which meant there were no sitting or bar facilities after that, but there are bars and shops within 10 minutes. The hotel was quite quiet, we seemed to be the only people staying on the last day which was a bit spooky. We walked to the airport for our flight! Although this hotel is nice I think I would prefer to stay somewhere more central.

Lovely caring staff, quiet, over 1 mile out of town! Nice but very dark room Pool looks lovely but in need of some TLC Breakfast 7-10 but bar and reception shut at 19:00. A couple of cats and chickens wandering round as if they own the place - makes a change from the dogs everywhere else. I'm possibly a little early in the season?

Sehr freundlicher Empfang, sehr sauber, reichhaltiges Frühstücksbüffet, schöner Pool. Abends bekamen wir nach Wunsch etwas zum Glas Wein. Rundum ein tolles Erlebnis. Very friendly reception, very clean, big breakfast buffet, nice pool. A very good experience.
