L’emplacement du logement est exceptionnel. Tout le confort recherché depuis le début du séjour. Les propriétaires sont extraordinaires et franchement c’était juste magnifique.
Great location , clean tidy Eco lodges
But hot , but we’re provided with a small fan
This property was everything!! It was so peaceful and so beautiful! It’s one of the best places we have ever stayed in! Thank you Jerome and Fidji for being fantastic host! Looking forward to staying again in the future!
I loved everything about this property. I have nothing bad to say.
部屋からの眺めがとても美しく海を見ながら料理ができます。 庭のハーブをたくさんいただけました。 AHU TAHAIまで歩いて夕日を見に行けます。
2週間前にツアーを予約して、素敵なガイドを紹介してくれましたが、運転免許がなかったので、自分で運転することになりました。 運転はきらいではないですが、事前に知らせてほしかったです。
Beautiful location, really helpful hosts who kept everything clean,and arranged car hire and guides to show us the island. We were provided with recommendations of local places to eat, and which supermarket was the best, helping to make our stay easy and relaxing. Loved Rapa Nui, and Kona Koa lodge was a great find. Thank you so much.
Nothing!
We stayed here in February 2026 and greatly enjoyed it. The property is run by Jerome and his daughter Fidji - Jerome went out of his way to make sure we had not just a great stay, but a great vacation. First, he picked us up at the airport when we arrived, which took all of the guesswork out of working out how to get to the property. He rented us a car, and he connected us with a guide who planned all of our tours of the island's most important and iconic sites. The guide, Moana, has native Rapa Nui ancestry, and is deeply connected to the indigenous culture and its history, and also speaks the native language. Furthermore, her English is excellent, and she was a lovely person - intelligent, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. The tours were excellently designed so that we saw the most impressive sites last, which meant with each day, the wow factor got turned up another notch. The bungalow that we stayed was lovely, with an ocean view. It was very comfortable, and had a small kitchen so we could make meals when we wanted. It was also cleaned daily while we were out, which was very nice to come home to each day. After we checked out, because we had a late flight, Jerome let us keep the car longer, and then after we returned it, he drove us back to the airport. The personal touch really made a difference.
It didn't matter to us, as we rented a car, but if you stay here and don't have a car, it's a bit out of town, so going out in the evening will require transportation of some kind. You can walk to town (about 15 minutes) but I'm not sure I would recommend walking back in the dark. This is not intended as a negative, just to set expectations.
Niezwykle urokliwe miejsce i wspaniały gospodarz Fidji
We had a nice stay in this cabin with beautiful views and a peaceful setting. Since it’s located away from town, having a car is necessary—we rented theirs upon arrival, and it was the best decision for getting to the restaurants. One thing to note is that our cabin (the large one with a loft) didn’t have a hairdryer, and due to the eco-lodge’s solar power, you can’t use one there even if you bring your own. We were able to use ours in another bungalow, so it wasn’t a problem—just something to be aware of.
La cabaña era bonita y amplia, muy cómoda. Bien situado pero necesitas tener auto para moverte. La ayuda y comunicación con nuestra anfitriona, excelente.
Todo bien. Solo comentar que no es un hotel al uso, con lo cual no hay desayuno sino que te ofrecen llevarte una canasta de desayuno a la cabaña. Nosotros elegimos desayunar en el pueblo.
Tout est magnifique.
we liked everything about the property. A well kept beautiful little cabin with an excellent view of the ocean. Beautiful grounds and a pleasant walk into town. Excellent hosts who were very attentive
We should have stayed longer :)
All are nice
We really enjoyed our stay at Kona Koa, which is run by a wonderful family. Very friendly. They also organized a fabulous tour guide us.
Vue magnifique, bungalow très joli, bien équipé et propre. Fidji la propriétaire était aux petits soins pour nous et a pu organiser toutes les activités que nous voulions faire et nous conseiller sur les restos, les endroits à voir. Elle nous a aussi servi de guide lors des visites, et comme elle parle parfaitement français c'était très agréable.
The cabana was very clean and comfortable and extremely spacious with everything you would need in a kitchen. The gardens are absolutely beautiful and the views of the ocean are stunning. The hostess Fidji gave us the warmest welcome at the airport with a lay of beautiful flowers and gave a tour on the way to the hotel. She was extremely helpful and booked restaurants and shows for us and truly nothing was too much, she was incredible and made our stay! We were even given a delicious pineapple from the grounds which was the best we’ve ever tried!
Bella posizione con vista mare, pulito, ben attrezzato, letto comodo e ottima accoglienza da parte del proprietario Jerome e di tutto lo staff
Nel pomeriggio la camera era un po’ calda
Staff was friendly.
Facility was not clean, it was infested with termites and had termite feces all over. Mosquitos there is a huge problem. Staff/father, daughter duo insisted that everywhere on the island has termite and mosquito problems after they insisted that it was wood fallen from the termites. Facility was not within walking distance of anything. Facility and tours were extremely overpriced. We left early and went to Hare Nua which did not have termite problems not mosquito problems, had air conditioning, was within walking distance of almost everything, softer beds, and was cheaper!
Welcoming and very helpful owners. Beautiful setting.
Die Besitzerin Fiji ist sehr nett und super hilfsreich. Wir haben bei ihr ein paar Ausflüge gebucht und die beiden waren Top!
The beds are incredibly comfortable and location amongst the trees/plants with an ocean view spectacular.
One palm could be removed to open up the ocean views more. You really need a car if you are staying here as it is far from downtown.
Extremely nice, responsive and helpful hosts who facilitated car rental and guided tours. Lodging was comfortable, quiet, with lush garden, and sea view. Small, well equipped kitchen.
La cama y la amplitud de la habitación
La distancia al centro, tuvimos que usar servicio de taxi 2 veces al día, encareciendo la estancia. El desayuno no está incluido (en los 7 hoteles que vistamos en Chile sí incluía desayuno) y el precio algo desproporcionado si lo querías aparte.
뷰가 나이스했고 오픈된 주방이 너무 좋았습니다
위생이 살짝 아쉬웠습니다!
Absolutamente todo. Estoy muy agradecida por toda la ayuda y por la atención, definitivamente volveré.
Muy lindo el entorno
El precio un poco alto.
Fantastic. Wonderful hostess Fidji. Lovely room and great views. Quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend.
Inmerso en la naturaleza
El lugar, la vista, la cercania a centros de interés arqueológico. La preocupación y atención de Gónzalo por que todo estuviera bien y en orden.
Nos gustó todo
Ideal location. Beautiful. Peaceful. Quiet. The property is immaculate. The staff are warm and welcoming. The bed is probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on in all my travels…and I travel over 100,000 miles/year.
Absolutely nothing. This place is paradise. You won’t find a better place to stay on the island.
Our hosts were wonderful and the location perfect, we liked being outside of the busier part of town. We really appreciated the attention from the hosts to pick up/drop off from airport, plus helping to arrange activities. One recommendation is a screen door for the large slider as we would have liked to enjoy the fresh air without mosquitoes, which are just a part of the tropical experience.
Lovely lodge with a lush green garden and spacious bungalows. Bungalows are clean and have comfortable beds. Nice views over the sea. Complimentary transfers, drinking water, bananas and bug repellent.
The bungalow needs a fan as it can get hot and therefore uncomfortable. The lodge is located outside town so you’ll need a car to get to shops, restaurants and so on.
We rented a cabin. It was very comfortable and perfectly located: quiet, save and it had a fantastic view. Service was excellent. Moreover, the owner provided us with a rental car and also he organized 4 sightseeing tours for us.
Property was perfect as on the picture.
The guide offered by the owner was not not great
The owners go out of their way to make you comfortable. They organized our 4 days of sightseeing with a guide. We also rented our car from them which makes it a great place to stay. Would highly recommend and hope to return to their beautiful oasis and Island.
It was beautiful, and comfortable. The hosts were responsive and caring.
It was a beautiful location and it was very clean and they were most helpful
Beautiful family run property. Rental cars available on site. Excellent local guides arranged. Angelo was our guide for 2 full days of the national park.
We had a lovely stay here! Very quiet, relaxing, and comfortable! Staff was very friendly and helpful! Highly recommend 😊
Beautiful cabin. Good location. The landlords were very helpful and friendly. The tour guide Alejandra was excellent.
The location is beautiful and peaceful. You can see the ocean and sunset from your terrace. Jerome has done a beautiful job planting trees and flowers so the property is green and full of life. It’s a charming place, and the owners are friendly and helpful if you have any questions. The towels and bedding were clean. There is no AC so the house gets very hot. There are also mosquitoes, and plug-in repellent is provided but it may be a good idea to bring a spray so you don’t get bitten. Fidji picked us up from the airport and dropped us back off, which was much appreciated.
The cleanliness standard could be improved, especially in the bathroom and kitchen. The toilet was not properly clean, there were hairs around the seat when we arrived and the washbasin didn’t look spotless either. The kitchen utensils and fridge could also be better maintained, and the dining table was dirty and hadn’t been cleaned after the previous guests. The hygiene standards should be better for the price paid. We booked a guide for the national park through the lodge, but the experience was very bad. The guide was uninterested, lacked knowledge (which was not due to the language barrier) and would spend time on his phone while we were visiting sites. One of the previous reviews mentioned something similar, that essentially it felt like paying 160USD for a driver rather than a guide and I would not recommend this option if you’d like to learn about the history and culture. We took a tour with a company we found online, and that guide was so much more knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his job. The car we rented from the lodge was old, and while it was functional, I don’t think the quality justifies the price (60USD per day), but this seems to be the widely accepted norm on the island. Finally, we had left a bikini top hanging on one of the hangers in the open wardrobe. The next day in the afternoon, I couldn’t find it. We searched and searched, and finally found that it had been tucked away on the top shelf of the wardrobe behind the spare blanket, and it was stained with multiple black marks. What happened to this bikini top remains an unsolved mystery…
We loved our cabin. The porch was a nice relaxing place to hang out and we had just enough space for our family of 4. I highly recommend. We also appreciated the Lodge picking us up from the airport and arranging for a car and a guide (who was great!).
A most delightful cabin set in tropical gardens with a secluded porch looking out over the sea. Fidji could not have been more helpful, arranging car hire, tour guide and providing fantastic information on the best places to shop eat and drink. The rooms were clean, very comfortable bed and the kitchen well equipped. Small touches like fresh flowers and real coffee for the kitchen made our stay just perfect.
The lodge is perfect! Great bed and shower, and a small kitchen with everything needed to prepare a breakfast or a meal! Jerome and Fiji are great hostess!!! They provided us with all the information to explore the island, including the tours. We had a great time in Kona Koa!!! Fantástico!!!
It’s a beautiful and quiet spot. Host is accommodating and welcoming. Our bungalow was very clean and our bed is extremely comfortable. Beautiful ocean view and pretty landscape all around. We have a covered parking space. A kitchen is helpful to make it at home. All of which makes it a relaxing oasis. The reasons for the 4 star: The road to the lodge is a bit rough. Dirt road from the main road. So if you don’t rent a car, you cannot really get there without getting all muddy. There’s no fan in the room so it gets pretty hot until after ten or eleven before it can cool down. Our drain does not have a cover so you’re taking a shower with the open drain in the middle of the shower pan. These are some very minor issues, but make it slightly less than perfect. Overall, we had a very nice stay. Love the place.
What a gem of a place. We loved our visit at Kona Koa - the houses are roomy and comfy, with lots of privacy and tranquility. The owners are wonderful hosts and were helpful in finding us a tour guide, as well as booking restaurants and shows. We hope to be back someday!
The host Jerome and Fiji are super friendly. They keep the room clean too.
Jerome and his family were very welcoming and accomodating hosts. They provided transportation to and from the airport. The room was incredibly spacious with a stunning view. WiFi was strong. There was a kitchenette where we were able to make any meals, coffee and tea. There's a water jug too, which was so helpful.
If you don't have a means of transportation, it's a bit of a walk (30 minutes) from the main street. We didn't mind it but it got tiring after a few days. Something to consider!
The warm hospitality of Jerome and Fidji was so special. Their villas are absolutely beautiful with tropical views and gardens. A wonderful experience
Our stay at the Koa Kona Lodge was incredible. Wonderful cabins, beautiful view, and everything we could need. The owners went above and beyond to make sure we had the tours we needed and were so kind and accommodating. Highly recommend!!
Kona Koa lodge was perfect! The location is peaceful and quiet. There are multiple units on the property but positioned perfectly so you rarely see each other. The units are very clean and look newly built. The bed was very comfortable and unit was beautifully decorated. The family who owns the lodge is so welcoming and helpful even meeting us at the airport with flowers. They provided free transport to and from the airport. We were brought fresh pineapple juice and sat on the porch with the owner upon arrival to setup our car rental and tour guides. Our unit was cleaned everyday with fresh flowers provided on the porch afterwards. They provided recommendations on restaurants and were available via WhatsApp at all times. The owners made us feel like family. It was the right balance of remote and resort that fits Rapa Nui. Added bonus was free drinking water jugs in the room (thankfully not individual water bottles) and electricity from solar panels. We would definitely stay here again!!
Kona Koa Eco Lodge is a wonderful place to be--the room was very nice and just what I was looking for. The bed was very comfortable and the view was really nice. The grounds of the property are quite beautiful. The entire process of booking the property, multiple questions and answers post booking (e.g., cash versus credit card, laundry service, car rental, etc) and checking in and out was excellent. When I was in Rapa Nui, the property manager was very accessible on WhatsApp. I received restaurant recommendations which proved to be excellent, I asked for a recommendation for a local guide and the guide that was recommended was a fantastic guide. I was able to rent the car from Kona Koa and they picked me up and dropped me off at the airport. The entire experience was fantastic! The location is just far enough from town to be quiet but close enough that it only takes a few minutes to get to town. Two of the restaurants that were recommended were less than 5 minutes away
I did not have anything that I didn't like. The property was as presented in the Booking app--there were no surprises!
Nice location. It’s far away from the city – so you can really enjoy nature. Staff is sweet. It’s not at al a «luxury» accommodation. Tools are tired. But we liked this lodge.
They promised us bikes (for free) – but on arrival they made big eyes and said – it’s not possible After we booked a guided tour with them. Guide was «no guide ». Just a driver. And we paid 2-3 time the real price. So we recommend to book with other agency.
It's a few miles outside of town.It's really nice and quiet.
Beautiful lodge-style accommodation with a tropical feel. Loved the decorative tree elements, open shower, little kitchen with water bottle and some basic ingredients, like coffee, tea, herbs and oils. Nice verandah with chairs to relax and enjoy the view towards the sea. Was great to rent a car from the friendly owners, and they helped organise tours with a local guide as well as a laundry service. Short drive to town as well as viewing point at Tahai.
Nothing really.. perhaps would have been nice to have a toaster for bread in the kitchen.
This is a great cabin with a beautiful view. Good quality linens and a nice bed. We loved the outdoor space for eating, hanging out, and watching the sunset. You can easily walk to some of the statues at free sites, which was amazing. The kitchen is stocked to cook simple meals, which is nice (no microwave, though). The hosts couldn’t have been nicer and offered recommendations for anything we wanted to do. They have a rental car onsite which is a good value, too. Overall, this is a great place and we really enjoyed it.
It is about a 20-25 minute walk to town or any food/beverage options. If you’re not up for that, you’ll need to rent a car or bike. We wished we had known before we came that it is an “eco” lodge and you don’t have power outlets except to charge phones and such; no blow dryers.
The best possible stay in Rapa Nui, in a privileged area overlooking the sea and with very well-kept surrounding gardens. Fidji's friendliness and attention to detail made the stay memorable, and it was a privilege to spend the days in Kona Koa. The lodge can be easily accessed by car, and is very quiet and reserved.
Nothing to refer.
The owners of the property are very friendly and helpful, that's really what makes this a Kona Koa (visit it to find out what that means ;). The cabin is comfortable and the view is amazing, I could see the ocean and the sunset over the ocean from my bed :) I stayed for 10 days and wish I could have stayed longer
What is not listed on booking.com is that the full name is Kona Koa eco-lodge, so I wasn't prepared for that. It means for example no hairdryer (it will break the electricity even if you bring one). Although if you really care, the owners can provide a solution. There is no hot water in the kitchen so it's tough to get the dishes clean. Once you adjust it's all totally good, but it was just a surprise to me. The property is located a bit outside of the town center so you will need to rent a car. The roosters woke me up early in the mornings, but having driven around Easter Island, I expect that would be similar in every hotel/lodge
We had a fantastic time at Kona Koa lodge. The staff was excellent. Jerome was very responsive to my questions when making reservations and planning the trip. Fidji was so kind, gracious and professional meeting us at the airport with a beautiful floral lei and was available all day every day to answer questions and give recommendations. The rooms were very clean and bedding was very comfortable. We will definitely stay at Kono Koa lodge again. We loved that it was a bit out of the city. It was so quiet and peaceful with breath taking views. Jerome and Fidji arranged fantastic tours for us with our guide Juaquin who shared with us his beautiful island and the history of it. Kona Koa Lodge made our trip to Easter Island a wonderful adventure to be remembered always.
From the moment we arrived at Kona Koa Lodge, we knew our stay was going to be something special. Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of Rapa Nui, this lodge truly exceeded our expectations in every way. Jerome, our host, was the epitome of warmth and hospitality. He was attentive and always available to help with anything we needed, from local tips to arranging transportation. His guidance made our stay both easy and enjoyable. The room itself was a highlight. Spacious and immaculately clean, it offered a tranquil retreat after days spent exploring the island. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep, and the overall quietness of the location meant that every morning we woke up refreshed and ready to tackle the day's adventures. The lodge’s amenities and its serene setting contributed to a feeling of exclusive privacy and comfort. For anyone visiting Rapa Nui, I cannot recommend Kona Koa Lodge enough. It’s not just a place to stay, but an integral part of the experience on this unique island. Jerome and his wonderful lodge are sure to make your visit unforgettable!
Jerome, the owner is really amazing and makes feel all his guests special. We travel a lot and are quite a picky travellers. Kona Koa combines hospitality of family hotel with big hotels stadards. True, there is no aircondition, but I was happy as we always have fight if to switch it on or not :). You are treated as relatives comming to visit your remote family. Get help with all trips, car rental and tips for the town best restaurants.
Kona Koa is a beautiful property, situated on a hill facing west, offering perfect views of the sunsets. It is very quiet and peaceful, yet conveniently close to the town center. The cabin we stayed in was spacious and well-maintained, surrounded by beautiful gardens and delicious fruit plants. Special thanks to the owners, Jerome and Fidji, who were friendly and helpful. They assisted us in arranging car rental and connected us with amazing tour guides who took us on private tours around the island and its caves. We particularly enjoyed spending our mornings on the terrace, which featured a kitchenette. The famous sunset spot at the Tahai complex is located very close by.
It is advisable to rent a car to easily access the town for groceries, dining, and exploring this beautiful island.
Absolutely everything. Our accommodation was lovely and comfortable. We loved being able to see the sea from our patio. Owners Jerome and Fidgi are absolutely outstanding. They were incredibly friendly and helped us coordinate the details of our trip such as obtaining guides for the park, making dinner reservations, and airport transport. We were also moved by the small gestures: Jerome allowed us to use his hiking poles and brought us mangoes from his tree.
Nothing.
Beautiful bungalow and view.
Quiet, peaceful and easy to communicate with staff
Eco friendly, tranquility, amenities
Initially, location was a bit difficult to find. Limited signage.
Very quiet and private cabins Clean We rented a car directly from Kona Koa lodge which was very fast and easy They offer private tours which was great and very easy to book Picked up and dropped off from The airport was seamless
Had a great vacation in Chile at December. Stayed at the Easter Island at the Kona Koa Lodge and it was really right choice. Jerome is a very attentive and friendly host, he organized transfer for us from the airport and back, recommended a very good local guide for excursion around the National Park and meeting the highlights. We also rented a car at Kona Koa and fully satisfied by this experience, everything was organized easy and conveniently. The house is surrounded by lovely blossoming garden, it’s clean and cozy and fully equipped with necessary household appliances and utensils. Highly recommend the place for those, who going to discover the Island!
Fidji and Jerome are the most lovely hosts. They helped us arrange airport transport, car rental, restaurant reservations, and day tours - always being so kind and available. The accommodation itself was beautiful, well designed, new, with a great bathroom and shower, and a kitchen opening up to the terrace - all completed by a stunning and relaxing view. 10/10 would recommend!
Beautiful rooms and property with sea views and even the ability to see a moai from the right location! Friendly host who was responsive over WhatsApp to help with restaurant recommendations / bookings, ideas for tours, etc before our stay. The rooms themselves were also really cool, with windows that could be opened with rope pulleys and spacious showers/bedrooms/outdoor lounge spaces, and fully equipped kitchen and lots of drinking water provided. Importantly, everything was very clean. This was the perfect place for us to spend a rainy day after we had completed many of our tours and didn’t have much more exploring in us. We were also dropped off at the airport at the end of our stay which was a nice touch. Parking was readily available.
The location was a bit far from town, and there weren’t really meal options near the hotel. We had a rental car for part of our stay here, but when we didn’t have it, it was a lot tougher to get around. Also, the rooms were very, uh, connected to the outdoors, which meant more access for bugs like mosquitoes to get in or for certain rooms to get hot. I thought the property handled it well, by providing bug spray and a plug in repellent and plenty of shade options, but something to be aware of if that’s something you’re sensitive to.
We had a terrific stay. Jerome hooked us up with an amazing tour guide and our rental car. All went great and we would recommend staying at this place!
Very clean. Private, but easy access to town. Beautiful views. Provided everything we needed for cooking or otherwise. Extremely relaxing. Staff was very responsive and proactive about reservations or making recommendations. Big thank you to Fidji and Jerome.
I enjoyed everything
I can’t say enough good things about our stay at Kona Koa. We booked the premium cabin with the outdoor shower, and it felt incredibly private with a gorgeous view. Jerome and Fidji were friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with, and they gave us lots of great recommendations. The cabin itself was really nicely put together with an attention to detail that definitely showed. The starlink internet worked great for us - easy to stream movies after dinner or do a bit of work. Renting a car definitely seemed necessary given that the lodge is a bit outside of town, but it was convenient and affordable to rent through Kona Koa. I would highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking for a quieter and more private experience on the island.
We spent only 3 nights here in November, but we enjoyed every moment of the stay! The room has marvelous view of the ocean, and on clear nights you should be able to the milky way (unfortunately it was always cloudy during our stay, but we still saw many stars). It is far away from the town so you will definitely need to rent a car. I really like the small kitchen in the room where you can cook while enjoying the breath-taking view of the garden and the ocean. Owners are very friendly and speaks very good English (you cannot find many english speakers here). I would definitely stay here again if I have a chance to go to Rapa Nui again. Tip: it can get a little chilly at night in spring time, so I would suggest always shower in the afternoon!
Absolutely loved our stay at aloha Koa! Fiji and Gerard were incredible hosts who helped organize our entire stay on the island. They had amazing recommendations and set us up with a wonderful tour guide - thank you Tai!!
On booking it said breakfast was included however there was no breakfast at the hotel. This was not a big deal at all as we were so busy with our amazing tours anyways :)
The bungalow was absolutely lovely and the views were incredible. Loved that it had a small kitchen including stove and mini fridge for easy coffee and breakfast items. Jerome and Fiji helped coordinate our rental car (yes, get one) and local guides for tours.
No complaints! It’s a bit outside of town but we knew that going into it. Wi-Fi was spotty in the room but it worked! We didn’t go to Rapa Nui to sit on the internet
Beautiful views, very lovely, beautifully crafted and restful rooms. The staff (family) was excellent! They arranged a rental car and guide for us. The guide was excellent!! They also picked us up at the airport and dropped us off. Having our own stove top and refrigerator was very nice after weeks of restaurant food. The grocery store in town had a very nice selection of food and drinks.
Our stay at Kona Koa was awesome! It is a serene and peaceful place to stay. Fiji and Jerome, father and daughter, were very hospitable,warm, and kind. Our cottage was a quaint Polynesian inspired style. I felt at home. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you, everyone, at Kona Koa.
Traditional style and individual cabins allowed for privacy and each has a nice deck.
Local dogs and roosters were a bit noisy at night but one just needs to bring some earplugs!
The Kona Koa Lodge is a perfect accommodation on Rapa Nui. The property is outside of the main town of Hanga Roa so it feels secluded and quiet. You will hear the chickens and the dogs at times during the night or early morning, but it's all part of the ambiance -- which includes wild horses roaming nearby, island breezes, colorful flowers and a sea view. Fiji is a great host. She picked us up at the airport, pointed out several places in town and gave us her WhatsApp number in case we had any questions or needed any reservations. It was only my wife and I in our bungalow but with an extra loft space and futon in the living room you could easily stay with a family of 4 or 5, or with 4 adult friends. The water pressure and temperature were unexpectedly amazing. Internet speed and stability were also surprisingly good; we were able to sustain several Facetime calls back to the US with no problems. The bed is extremely comfortable, the linens are nice, and they clean the room each day. If you're wondering where to get your guide and if you should rent a car, just save yourself the time and stress and do both through Kona Koa. The guide they booked for us, Tai, was fantastic and great to have conversations with. She also drove the car so my wife and I could marvel at the countryside on the way to the various sites. So if you're reading this reasearching lodging on Easter Island, stop and look no further -- Kona Koa is the place to stay!
