Nayara Hangaroa

We had an astonishing 5 days on Rapa Nui only made better by the Hangaroa Rco Village & Spa Resort. Rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable. I am paraplegic and their accessible room was perfect. ||You cannot beat the location on the ocean and close to town. The food was good but we ate out in town a lot. The local empanadas are made fresh twice a day. Sunset Restaurant was fantastic. By there for sunset.

This was what I believe was our first Nayara stay. We had 2 different rooms, 1 and 18. Both were different levels and decent, but the mini-bar situation was confusing, It was not really a mini-bar as most resorts know this to be and they should learn from this. The staff were all super friendly, probably one of the most friendly of any place we have ever been. The on-site travel planning was super on-point. The gym felt neglected but this was not a surprise to me in a place like this, but it was odd that a hotel of this price point did not tend to it properly. The gym was dusty and 3 of the 4 ceiling lights were dead and I had to turn on the lights in it when I got there each morning. The overall food and drink quality was we would expect, good to very good. I thought the breakfast service ended a tad early for my taste. 11am is really the accepted cutoff to me but maybe this was an off-season situation. The hotel is super convenient to the airport and the local areas, all walkable. In their defense, I do not think its possible to get a 5 star rating anywhere in Easter Island but this is a strong 4 for sure.

We recently stayed at the most amazing resort on Easter Island! I highly recommend the Nayara Hangaroa Resort, which has a unique and thorough offering of guest rooms and inclusive tour and dining options. We stayed 3 nights and wished we had stayed longer as there were still additional tours we wished we could have joined. The resort offered many great tour options!||Most important to emphasize, is how truly wonderful all of the staff everywhere at the resort are! From the personalized greeting we received at the Airport, to the detailed hotel welcoming by Christopher, the incredible restaurant service provided by Gabriella and her staff, Maria's smile and helpfulness booking our tours, and the evening chocolates and laundry service by Housekeeping, and many others I wish I could remember by name, the Nayara Hangaroa has a First Class Team across all Departments!||After excellent communication in advance of our trip online with Customer Service, we picked the Discover Package and it worked out perfectly for us, providing us with 3 tours and dinners, an expansive breakfast buffet, and many other benefits. We also purchased a 4th tour, which allowed us to see the majority of the best Moai sites and quarries. We also enjoyed making the short walk from the resort into Hangaroa Town, which we found to be friendly and safe. One evening we walked to see the Sunset over Ahu Tahai, which was spectacular. We visited gift and coffee shops and also had a great lunch at Te Moana along the waterfont. ||It is hard to imagine staying anywhere else on Easter Island other than the Nayara Hangaroa Resort. This was an amazing property to experience!

The kindness and hospitality begin as soon as you exit the airport and find Elias waiting for you with a lei and a smile, then he loads your bags into the hotel van and whisks you away to such a beautiful hotel and spa. The rooms are generously sized, the breakfast buffet is vast, plentiful, and delicious, the beds are comfortable, and property is neat and tidy. I don't swim, but the pool looks fantastic. The massage I took time for (and so should you) was very well done. Every staff member I encountered was friendly, pleasant, and helpful, even if they didn't speak English so well. Most knew my name (how do they do that?!). The location is perfect - easy walk to the town, and the ocean is literally across the street. I can't imagine staying anywhere else on Easter Island. I recommend this property without hesitation.

If you light sleeper, bring earplugs due to roosters everywhere on the island. We are experiencing many joys on world’s most remote Easter Island - from Wild Horses roaming our resort grands to visiting the island’s stunning iconic Moai Statues in the midst of Biblical Sunrises and Sunsets over Moai Heads … The most remote most fascinating and most beautiful Island with 5-star gorgeous resort and spa stay - Easter Island Nayara Hangaroa. Oceanfront volcanic rocks with waves sprayed skyward. Nightly Sunsets are Psychedelic experience. It is totally Amazing what it feels like to be at THE very edge of the world! Logistically most convenient Resort I ever stayed in - all great architecturally beautiful and unique restaurants, bar , spa and terraces and few steps away!!! Beautifully deigned Resort Theater has highest quality local multi drums and other instruments band with dancers of local traditional music and dance performances. Very nice and aesthetically pleasing multi-section designed pool with jets etc SPA Menu is insane with most exotic and unusual massages, body treatments and scrubs. Due to limited stay I picked Bamboo sticks ( different sizes for each part of the body! ) and Coco Cacao Scrub . The quality and skill of therapist if phenomenal. Totally private reservation only prior massage - Sauna, Steam Room and Jacuzzi in Volcanic setting and Absolute Luxury.

Our stay at hotel Nayara Hangaroa was absolutely amazing! From the front desk greeter to the restaurant staff, room service staff and grounds staff. Everyone was extremely friendly, gracious, helpful, and kind. The food was amazing from the breakfast to the dinner and the bar foods that were available into the late evening. We highly recommend hotel Nayara Hangaroa and we would certainly stay with them again if we travel to Rapa Nui.||

Architecture is unique as it is inspired by the local ancient structures. It is not a small hotel and yet gentle on the environment. Stylish bedrooms, with great attention to details. Attentive staff, stars and affectionate dogs make an unprecedented atmosphere. |The restaurant is curated, really impressed by the fish tartare. |For being in a remote island the level of comfort and sophistication is impressive.

Amazing trip to paradise. ||From the welcome to departure the team at the hotel are amazing. ||We had an exceptional welcome and tour of the hotel on arrival by Gabriel. ||Breakfast was superb each day with Karem at the omelette station making superb omelettes. ||The tours were led really well by a truly knowledgeable and passionate local guide with drinks provided. We also made some great friends with others on the tour. Maria Celcila helped organise the activities as well as hiring quads for us to explore the Island. ||Dinner in the fine dining restaurant was great with super service from Valentina. On the last few days we choose to have lunch in the restaurant which served wonderful Sopa de Marisco and delicious grilled Kana Kana. Wally served us most days and was so professional as well as being great fun. The pool bar served great cocktails and Felipe was a wonderful character. ||Throughout the stay both Gabriel and Josefina checked in with us to ensure all was well and were delightful. ||Isabel was always at hand at reception and was super helpful. ||The room was great with a comfy bed and great amenities. There is no TV which makes total sense on such a stunning island. Overall the hotel is great, but it is the entire team that give the hotel its amazing character and service. Everyone wants to deliver great hospitality. The team really make the difference here. ||Such an amazing place! Thank you all for an amazing trip.
