This is a beautiful upscale boutique hotel located in the middle of Hanga Roa town. It’s a short walk to the ocean, restaurants, mini markets and shops, as well as to two popular dance venues, Kari Kari and Varua Ora. Our room was airy, spotless and larger than we expected, with a balcony overlooking the lush tropical garden, pool and hot tub. The bathroom was modern with a spacious walk-in shower. Breakfast seating was personalized with our names on a placard and a different daily assortment of fruits, cheeses, sliced meats, yogurt, granola, warm biscuits and eggs to order. And we loved the pat of butter in the shape of a Moai guy! Most of all, the staff was so friendly and professional. From the moment Sebastian, the owner, picked us up from the airport with leis and a friendly smile, and drove us around town for a short tour, we knew this was a special place. When we arrived at the hotel, Sebastian welcomed us with refreshing drinks and a delicious local dessert, while he explained that the hotel was originally his grandmother’s house. At the end of our stay, we received sweet farewells from the staff, and Maria dropped us off at the airport with a warm goodbye hug. We were so sad to leave! Thank you, Sebastian, Maria and the rest of your staff for treating us like we were part of your family. We will always fondly remember our visit to Rapa Nui due to our incredible time at Hare Nua!
