Hotel Puku Vai

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.

It suited us perfectly for our 4 night stay. We walked into town in the evenings and walked back after a meal and a few drinks. It takes about 15-20 mins on un even surfaces but if you have made it to Easter Island then that should not be a problem. The rooms are basic but cleaned daily. The breakfast is plentiful and the staff are so helpful. We loved the pool and the sunbeds to chill out on. The hotel is set in landscaped gardens and it's just a great base. The Wi-Fi was a little hit and miss but I guess that's to be expected due to the islands location.

O hotel colaborou de maneira importante para a nossa fantástica experiência na ilha de Páscoa. O hotel é gerido de maneira familiar e é muito aconchegante, onde seus donos presam por acolher seus hóspedes com simpatia e alegria, mostrando como a simplicidade pode trazer uma experiência plena.
