Mana Nui Inn

Amazing place is owned by local friendly family. 5 minutes walk to best sunset spot on the island. Good restaurants nearby. Place is nice and clean. Full kitchen so you can cook if you want. There is no A/C in the room (but at the night it's pretty chill), and no breakfast/dining option on the property (in case you expect it).

Great location, quiet, large unit with full kitchen. Very reasonable price included airport pickup and dropoff, lei greeting, farewell Moai pendant. Free good wifi. Innkeeper arranged a personal guide for us to see the Nat'l Park sites. Easy walk to free Moais nearby.

The pillow was contaminated. I can’t sleep for two nights until I opened the pillow case and saw the pillow had uneven cube fillings and also a big yellow stain. Disgusting. The next door guests got room cleaned every day and they only stayed for two nights. I had to request so they cleaned on the third day. Also the shower door fell in the middle of the night. When requested through communication with the owner called Paula via hotel.com, the property manager knocked on my door next day at 9am when I just fell sleep and she was angry. It was like all my fault. I need some money back for my stay.

We had a fantastic stay and in our three days we managed to go on two amazing tours organised by our hosts. The sunrise tour especially will live long in our memories. We loved the island, people and attractions and it started when we were picked up by our wonderful hosts.

Very quiet and private. The hosts are very pleasant.

Great stay at Mama Vicky's Mana Nui Inn. We were treated like family, from picking us up at the airport complete with flower leis, grocery shopping at a local supermarket and coordinating our tours, dinner and show. Close to town and Ahu Tahai, about 5-10 min walk. Perfect location to relax, so quiet and able to see the ocean from our balcony. Our room is wide and clean. Complete with kitchen stuff for a comfortable stay.

Family operated, the owners are very welcoming. They come to pick you up at the airport and take you back. Each unit has a small kitchenette to make your own breakfast or prepare meals. Everything is within walking distance with affordable dining options. You can rent a vehicle from the owners as well, making it very easy and convenient. There are roosters and dogs around that are quite vocal at night, which is a reality of many countryside places in Chile. Ear plugs! The owners speak little english but we speak a bit of Spanish, plus with a translating app is all good. When you book you will be interacting with their daughter in Santiago who speaks English and French and has been very helpful and quick at answering questions.

Very pleasant stay! Walking distance to a lot of restaurants and ticket-free Moais. Hosts are wonderful people too.

Lugar excelente muy bien ubicado más que recomendado y una excelente atención de parte de Marcelo y pitu

Excellent service, very clean and comfortable room and the best is the location, it can’t get any better!

The couple that run the place are so friendly and hospitable, and we loved the airport pickup and dropoff. Just note that this is a pretty no frills property - wifi only really works in the garden so you have to stand by your window and the toilet set was unhinged when we got there. Otherwise, location is amazing next to the most famous sunset on the island. A great place to stay if you're looking for just a place to sleep or cook. Thank you!

Very friendly host and awesome location to the best sunset spot in town (3 mins walk),.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, I was greeted at the airport and also dropped off, the staff were friendly, the check in process was easy, the location was close to town but not busy, all my questions were answered and I felt very comfortable and safe. Marcelo is a great host. I would definitely stay here again if I come back to the Island.

We loved the cabanas at Mana Nui, especially the separate kitchenette with a balcony from which you could see the ocean.

Great location an d easy walk to moai

The hosts were so friendly. We were greeted at the airport with leias & given a ride to the local market for some items. Beautiful garden, quiet location very close to town, beach. Sadly no AC, only a small fan & the ocean breeze to cool off. Overall great experience, definitely recommend this lovely place!

The most kind and generous hosts I’ve come across in my travels. They truly made me feel right at home.

Super accueil des propriétaires

I was solo. Mana Nui was great. Super clean. Functional kitchen with a table both of which I used daily. Did a grocery shop on day 1. Five minutes walk from a major Moai and really close to the centre but not smack mid-centre which I liked. Bed comfy. View of sea from my balcony. The owner and family run the place. The two who were present were extremely helpful and kind and respectful of privacy. They have links with a tour agency - i took one and it was fantastic so do not fear or hesitate going with their tour suggestion - it’s was great and the guide spoke English very well. I would absolutely stay again.

Very clean and well-located. Owners & staff are attentive & friendly. A lot of care goes into the Mana Nui inn! Our unit had a full kitchen separate & next to the sleep room. The wi-fi was spotty, but hey, that's not why we came here!

Friendly and helpful staff, great location. Manager offered us a house instead of two rooms, which was great, and provided us with a fifth bed. Close to the only town on the island, and a large statue on the shore. Dogs barked at night, but that seems to be a problem everywhere on the island (saw 50+ strays in two days).

Good value for Rapa Nui, collected and dropped back to airport, both with leis. Note no car insurance on the island

Met by the host at the airport. A lovely and very helpful lady. Cabins are basic but comfortable, set in lovely gardens and very handy for popping to the coast to see the sun set behind the local Moai.

I whole-heartedly recommend this hotel. I found the location superb, the staff very friendly and helpful, and the accommodation was clean, not luxurious, but clean and agreeable with a lovely verandah where I could sit after a hard day exploring the island - often in the company of two of the friendliest dogs that I have met (hotel residents). It was great to be greeted nicely at the airport and taken back there at the end of my stay.

We enjoyed our five night stay here. The location is perfect to stroll into town or to visit the local moai. Our bungalow was surrounded by garden and felt a part of the countryside...which comes with cocks crowing and dogs barking at night. We had a separate kitchen/diner which allowed us to make our own breakfasts. There is a communal covered patio seating area where we met other guests and wrestled with the wi-fi. We also loved Toto the dachshund!

quiet spot in Hanga Roa. near the Tahai site/sunset place. very good service by Bicky and her team. bed very comfy, sheets soft, pillow just the right size for me (that seldom happens when i travel!). good quality for the price. would recommend!

Rapa Nui was fantastic in every possible way. Our hosts were very special and went out of their way to make our trip a great success.

Easter Island/Rapa Nui is amazing. This hotel was convenient, clean, friendly and helpful service. Easy walk to town with great views. Bring a flashlight for night walking though somewhat lit and mostly paved. Feels like island-living instead of town-living.

Excellent location, you don't go for Internet (satellite). Rented a car from the Inn and saw almost eveything on the island. Used the kitchen room for my coffee and breakfasts. Close to a Moai site, used to go down to see the sun set. It was an excellent stay.

Lovely inn with beautiful ocean view. Bicky was warm and welcoming and we enjoyed cuddling with their dog Toto. Everything was perfect! We really enjoyed our stay.

Loved my cabin and the garden. Its only about 5-6 minutes walk from town and restaurants and moai on the beach. Patricia collected me from the airport and helped me with a tour. Her little dogs are so sweet and friendly. There are chickens running about freely. All contributed to a great stay. I recommend the cabins however there were several dogs in adjoining properties who barked a lot throughout the night. The only annoying point to a pleasant stay.

Every group of guests will be assigned a spacious independent house with different bed types. I was given a house with twin beds even though I was alone. The B&B was very close to the Beach and you might enjoy the sunset everyday. It took about 10-15 minutes to walk to down town area. The English of the hosts was enough for our communication. The weakest point was that there was no meal provided. But the kitchen was free to be used by the guests. It saved a lot of money as the food in the restaurant was really high in price there.

Location right near the coast and some beautiful moai a real bonus, not right in centre of town but a fairly easy walk to all parts of town. Friendly staff and cute pets!

Beautiful ocean view from the terrace-simple, but spotlessly clean accommodation, very warm hosts. Easy walk to Main Street, tours, rental cars, etc and easy walk to Taha tai to watch the sunset behind a row of Moais. Also close to the Museum.prepare for early morning rooster wake up calls-personally.m, we found it to be part of the charm and did not mind it at all-its a pastoral setting and it fits. Also two good restaurants nearby-we liked Hani Hani and te Moana.

I enjoyed my stay here. The location is great, close enough to town but far enough to be very peaceful. My room had a view of the ocean so sunset was fantastic. I had a single room, but it easily slept three people and access to the kitchen was appreciated. The room was very clean and comfortable. I loved the chickens and dogs roaming the grounds. I didn't get breakfast so I cannot speak to its quality. The wifi was adequate but who wants to be on wifi on Easter Island. I would absolutely stay here again.

We stayed at the Mana Nui for five nights. The owner picked us up at the airport without a hitch. It was great! The downside of the place became apparent that first afternoon we were there: the rooms faced west and the sun was brutal, so I would definitely recommend that anyone staying there during a hot time of year (we were there in early April) find a way to be out during the late afternoon. A big plus for us was the kitchen, which we shared with one other unit. We talked with other travelers who stayed elsewhere where breakfast was included, but several of them said that it was a joke; all they got were a couple of pieces of bread. We, on the other hand, thanks to the owner's kindness in stopping at Hanga Roa's best "supermarket" on the way home, were able to have eggs, juice, toast, avocados, etc. We also rented a car from the owner -- who must be one of the most successful businesswomen in Hanga Roa. It was a very nice late model Suzuki jeep ($68/day), nicer than many of the cars we saw from other rental companies, although I didn't check their prices. We turned in the car the last morning we were there, and the staff drove us to the airport with our luggage --like the pick up, without charge.

From flower lei welcome by the owner to shell necklace departure everything was warm and wonderful. The location was perfect just a short walk from standing Moai and the best sunset on the island. Room was large and comfortable and open kitchen was new.

Nice view of the ocean from my room patio and a common lanai. A dog and a few cats around that were all very sweet. Wi-Fi was fickle, but that seems to be a problem endemic to most places on the island. Common cooking area for very basic pots and pans so that one can bring or buy food to make. Given food prices on the island, it's a nice option to have. I would stay here again.

Vicki was so helpful in organizing a tour and helping us pick activities. Great hospitality. She met us at the plane and took us back. A beautiful place

Location: When I booked Mana Nui Inn I thought the location to be towards the middle of the Island and so outside the town of Hanga Roa (see the location map). Mana Nui Inn is, in fact, a 10 minute walk from the center of Hanga Roa and surrounded bu other homes. Please note also that two of the potos are very misleading. The beach photo is from the other side of the island and the photo of the statues by the sea (photo 24/24) is about 15km from the hotel. I was very disappointed to find myself so close to the town but I was only there 3 full days and rather than spend time sorting the accommodation, I decided to make the most of it. Hosts were very friendly throughout and very helpful with walks, tours, etc. Room was comfortable and clean but basic. My room had a sea view and the sea was a short walk. The nearest restaurant was a 3 minute walk. Area is quiet, but the roosters next door do start crowing very loudly from 5am. I was told there was no breakfast available, even when I offered to pay; not really a big deal as there are restaurants in town open from 9.30am. Easter Island is expensive, but I thought Mana Nui Inn overpriced even for Easter Island. My Friends stayed in a much nicer hotel nearby for less money and it included breakfast.

just terrible experience

We chose this hotel on the net as it was close to the sea and appeared to have a very pleasant outlook. We were not disappointed. The location was only a short walk to the main street and there were some nice little , reasonably priced restaurants close by. We had a fantastic 4 days on Easter Island during which we were very busy sightseeing. The hotel was able to arrange everything that we needed including a tour, car hire and a dinner show. In all instances we were picked up at our accommodation.

I spent 9 nights at the Mana Nui Inn in April, 2015 and it was everything I had anticipated. I had peace and quiet and was able to "do my own thing" undisturbed. The staff could not have been more helpful. Since I had been on the Island before, I was not interested in any organized tours; however, I did attend one of the cultural shows and was thrilled when I recognized Patricia as one of the beautiful dancers. Bicky, Patricia and the entire staff were excellent. Other reviews mentioned the less than adequate wi fi connection and I found this to be true as well. The Inn is located about a 15 minute walk from "downtown" but the walk is delightful and that should not keep anyone from booking this accommodation. The cabanas were delightful and I thoroughly enjoyed sitting on my porch as I watched and listened to the Pacific Ocean. Thank you Patricia, Bicky & staff!

I have never rated a hotel that I booked via Hotels.com this low. If you like a place with cats wandering all over, roosters crowing day and night, a mother and daughter duo running the place who treat their guests with superficial and obviously insincere charm but show utter disrespect by rooting through one's baggage at will - and when challenged respond with hostility - then this is the place for you. No wonder that during the peak season on the island I was one of only three guests. The other two were a young couple of backpackers who overnighted there. I had to tolerate 4 nights because the only alternative on hotel.com when I contemplated a change were some cabins for 4 to 8 people.

And the context is that Easter Island doesn't seem to try very hard as a tourism destination in general. The proprietors put in effort into providing information and guidance around the island, especially upon welcome, but the facilities are basic and going in with reasonable expectations seems key. Wasn't keen on the attempt to extract a tip at the end however.

This was a lovely place to stay, with super freindly and helpful staff. The location was great, easy walking distance from town and very close to the ahu tahai, which was a lovely place to go and see at sunset. The rooms werent the most modern, but they were clean and pleasant with hot showers. The wifi was practically non existant, but that is pretty standard for the whole island. The breakfast was great - it seemed to change daily and always included at least one small hot item (eg scrambled eggs or donuts). Highly recommended.

Everyone at the Mana Nui Inn was most helpful. Breakfast was very good everyday and most plentiful. Everything was clean and comfortable. I prefer smaller family owned places to stay, they may be older and have fewer amenities but the personal attention more than makes up for those things.

A great location in Hanga Roa. Bicky organised a fantastic small group tour with Patricio for us & also had a car that we were able to hire directly from her. Stayed in the 3 bed bungalow on site which was clean, spacious & well-equipped. We were met at the airport on arrival & driven to the airport for our return flight

The cabins are far enough away from the city center that it's peaceful but close enough that a short walk gets you to supermarkets, pharmacy, restraunts, car rental, etc. Daily breakfast was great. Very clean rooms. Pickup and drop off at the airport. Helped set up tours. I have no complaints and only great memories!

Absolutely special place, close to town yet private.

Amazing great staff - so clean very close to city center !

Close to Hanga Roa downtown but metal roof bangs all night in wind. Also roosters crowing from 4am on. Breakfast was adequate but only has eggs every other day.

The owner is very helpful with information and service. Walking distance to town center and views of the ocean. Simple but great rooms for your stay on the island.

Great location, 5-10min walk from Main Street. Quiet at night with a couple restaurants close by. Breakfast was always good. Very close to a few Moai. Very helpful and nice staff. Wifi was slow but it is slow everywhere on the island.

The Mana Nui Inn is pretty well located, close enough from the town center to walk there but far enough to be more quiet. A Moai site is very close and te best to admire the sunset. The room are great, the place is nice with flowers and trees, the staff excellent, helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend this place

Easter Island is an isolated island with basic accommodations, but lovely/ friendly locals. My stay at Mana Nui Inn was very enjoyable. Patricia greeted me at the airport with a flower lei and a complimentary shuttle to the Inn. She drove through town pointing out points of interest and helpful information like the ATM, supermarket, and pharmacy. The rooms at Mana Nui Inn are basic, but clean and the views of the ocean are amazing. I loved watching the sunset from my patio or walking a short distance to the Moi statues at Ahu Tahai to enjoy the sunset with other travelers. Patricia is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about what to do on the island. She helped organize a wonderful day trip with a local guide, Patricio, who shared his knowledge and witty insight into the island, horseback riding, and local dance show for me. The breakfast was basic, but filling with a different hot item served each morning (pizza, soup, eggs, etc). I am a solo traveler that felt very safe and taken care of during my stay at Mana Nui Inn. Since I have been traveling for 2 months and on a budget, I used the communal kitchen a few times to fix lunch/dinner and ate out at wonderful local restaurants. I would definitely recommend the Mana Nui Inn to any travelers staying in Easter Island.

Spotlessly clean room with a really comfortable bed. The fridge was an unexpected bonus and the shower was great - Patricia warned that it was solar powered therefore may not always be hot, but despite several cloudy days during my stay, it was always a perfect temperature no matter what time I used it. Breakfast was fantastic - the same basic but tasty fare plus some exotic 'special' each day, Rapanui music wafting in from the next room, and of course that wonderful sea-and-garden view. Depending on your table you can even see moai. The staff were lovely and the location - just on the edge of town - was perfect if you like to stroll by an absolutely stunning coastline to get to where you want to go. The hotel's right on the doorstep of the Tahai ahu (perfect for watching the sunset) and an easy walk to the museum. Some days when I was feeling lazy I wished there was an on-site restaurant for evening meals, but there is a guest kitchen (also spotless) for self-catering, and restaurants nearby. Also worth mentioning is the convenient and reasonable car hire Mana Nui offers, and the island tours with Patricio - a terrific guide. I really enjoyed my stay here. Thank you so much Bicky & Patricia!

We had a wonderful stay at Mana Nui Inn...There's a complimentary shuttle from the airport, the view of the ocean was fantastic from our room, and Patricia was very accomodating...The tours she set up with Patricio were the best and we met so many nice people staying at the hotel...Yes, the bathroom needed updating but the location made up for everything...

Great stay, and great people at a great price. Met at the airport and shuttled to the Inn. Delicious homemade breakfast and nice rooms with AC and plenty of hot water (a rarity). Only issue was that it is a little bit of a walk to the town center, but it is closer to the famous ahu for a great sunset view.

Nice room and location; great breakfast; assistance booking shows, tours, etc. Only negative--10 a.m. checkout time without the possibility of extending it (which is annoying since the flights leave at 1:30).

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

The hotel is set up as cabanas and is a short walk (10-12 minutes) from the main center of town. This is not a luxury hotel but is very clean, beds were adequate, hot showers worked well, working refrigerator, and you felt safe. Because it is just outside of town, it is much more quite and relaxing with no city noises. The cabanas were approximately 200 meters from the ocean shore so we could hear the waves splashing on the beach every morning... nice. Also within a 5 minute walk to one of the important Moai sites on the island. Breakfast was included every morning and was very good (fresh fruit, fresh juice and other items). We were picked up at the airport and greeted with lei's also droped off at the airport when we left for our departing flight. The owner Vicky and daughter Patty, along with all the other staff did not overly fuss over you but made you feel at home. Would recommend this hotel. Finally, mostly everything on the island is more expensive than normal as everything is flown or shiped in. Restarants are not cheap, but there was a restarant very near the hotel that not only was very good food but less expensive than others in town.

Stayed here for 3 nights during my 4-day visit to Easter Island. Location is a bit of town, and it takes a bit of walk (about 15min) to get back to the main street for restaurants, groceries, and other activities. There is an Ahu close by which is good for sunset pictures. There's no wifi in the hotel, and they charge for internet access. Also, only payment in cash is accepted at the end of the stay, but not credit card. Make sure you have enough cash ready for payment. Breakfasts are ok, but basically ham, cheese and bread are the main items.

Nothing special about comfort indeed I expected a bit more, but Bicky, the owner, literally make you feel home and even better than that. She is quite friendly and a great host. In summary I would recommend Mana Nui Inn, and because my jobs I have been in many five stars hotel worldwide. Finally, just enjoy Easter Island it will recharge yourself of good energy!

We decided to book this once in a lifetime trip to Easter Island after a business trip in Santiago. I found this hotel on hotels.com, but wasn't sure what to expect. On arrival we were greeted at the airport with handmade fresh flower leis by the owner! She loaded up our luggage and drove us back to her hotel. At our room Erica greeted us with fresh guava juice for our check in. She had a map for us and some ideas on how to plan our trip. What an amazing location right on the coast and a quick walk to an amazing Moai site and the island's museum. We rented a car from the hotel and set off for two days of amazing exploring. Erica was awesome with a great breakfast ready for us in the main building every morning. When one of the light bulbs didn't work, she reset our room and brought in a reading lamp. Totally great service. The rooms are plain but comfortable with a good shower and a nice patio. There is also a kitchen available for cooking and a fridge in the room. I would recommend this place for sure!

Mana Nui is an easy 12 mins walk from the town center. And less than that from the Ahu Tahai. I got my own small house which was clean and basic (bedroom with tv (2 channels) and bathroom. There was also an in-room safe and a refrigerator. It would be nice if there was a kettle though. The view from the balcony was great. The surroundings also great, nice garden and a quiet neighbourhood overall. The host Patricia was very polite and attentive. She took care of my transfers to and from the airport and contacted the airline to confirm the departure time. She brought me breakfast to the balcony every morning and fresh flowers. My stay at Mana Nui made my Easter Island experience even more authentic. Easter Island is an amazing place.
