Hotel Manavai

Awesome! This quaint hotel is the best in terms of location, atmosphere and service. It is right at the center of Hanga Roa but feels so peaceful and quiet because of the nice garden.

This hotel is grossly overrated. We were booked on a standard garden view room at $1080 for 3 nights. On arrival we discovered Air conditioning was NOT included. It’s 30degC here! We upgraded to superior room. It cost $30/night to have airconditioning for an identical room. Rooms are dirty and Very run down. I have photos to prove. The island is beautiful but a nightmare to get a decent service. Practically all restaurants closed on 1st & 2nd January (high season they call it). Prices generally higher than Japan or London. Very disappointed

Looks great from the outside. The room condition is poor and looks very homemade construction with laminate flooring on the walls. The breakfast is minimal, but served in great surroundings.

The place is beautiful, a little slice of paradise. The owners and staff were so friendly and helpful. Only bit of constructive criticism would be that the WiFi could be improved as it was difficult to book flights and other important internet based activities... however given that it is a secluded island, I cannot complain. Will definitely return one day. Thank you hotel manavai :)

If you're looking for a major luxury hotel chain, you've come to the wrong place. I happened to love the Hotel Manavai, though, because it has a very island feel to it. Yes, it's a bit rustic with wood paneling and a tiki support beam, but that's what gave it its charm. Very convenient to the main street in town. Breakfast was the same each day, but I had no problem with that. Wi-fi was a little iffy, but I think it was a town wide problem. Some of the staff spoke English and some didn't. Even so, we were able to communicate satisfactorily. I would not have been happy in a chain hotel. I hope they never come to the island so that it stays pure as it is now.
