Hotel Atavai

We got exactly what we expected considering the price. The best part was the staff and the breakfast was amazing! They were so helpful and always responded quickly! It was a little farther from town but you can easily reach town for 4-5 dollars so it was not a problem for us. The only negative is there was a kitchen but nothing to cook with or eat with. They should remove the kitchen or provide a few pans and plates / flatware

I was not informed that I would be met at the airport although others had been. The shower operated backwards and the hot water only ran for a few seconds before going cold again. Having NOT met me at the airport I was surprised that they did not want to run me to the harbour

Then did't support breakfast service. It's hard to check in after 13:30

This is a small, family-run hotel. The setting is a little rustic, but so is all of Rapa Nui. The room was perfect for one or two people. It is a 15 min walk to the town. There is ample parking for cars. It is quiet (except for a few chickens -- island life). The owner picked me up at the airport, and drove me back a few days later. A safe, clean, reliable place to stay at a good price.

Room was clean enough, but woke up the first morning covered in bug bites that I can only assume were from bed bugs, as more appeared each day and there were no mosquitos or anything around. There are also some very aggressive dogs in the area if you are walking, they snapped and bit at me when I was trying to walk on the road the hotel is located on

Nice people Free airport pickup’s

Owner Antonio is very nice , friendly, and solved issue of loosed shower head quickly. He helped to arrange the tour guider. Thanks to him a lot!

Close to the airport but not so close. It is really far away from the town center if you don’t have a car. Forget taxi, there is no taxi on the island. The host picked me up at airport also gave me a ride back to airport. Amazing! Every day the flight arrives at 12:55pm and leaves at 3:00pm, but check out time is 10:00am which means you need kill 5 hrs time for nothing.

We had the most amazing stay at Hotel Atavai Antoine is a 5 star and the most welcoming host we have ever stayed with. Firstly he picked us up at the Rapa Nui Airport free of charge. And welcomed us with flowers. He was always reachable and helpful and even checked in with us if we reached back to Santiago on time. The room itself is quiet and very clean. The bed was so comfortable that we overslept :). Rapa Nui is a great place and our stay at Hotel Atavai just made it many times better. Go ahead and book it , you wont regret :)

We stayed in room 1, which was nice, clean and spacious with all the necessary amenities. The owners Lolita and Antoine are amazing. Antoine is the chef and cooks amazing breakfast and delicious juices. We had our 2 days tour with the owner Lolita who have also designed the circuit map of Rapa Nui. She had so much knowledge and does an amazing job. The place is a good walk to and from the city center. We explored quite a bit There are also local taxi service if you feel a bit lazy. Both Señora Lolita and Monsieur Antoine are wonderful human beings. They are very helpful and will assist you with information, organisation and guidance.

5 STARS!! This is DEFINITELY the place to stay on Rapa Nui for 2 main reasons the owners ANTOINE & His Wife. I was met at the airport by Antoine with a beautiful lei. The room had a great shower, was spacious and cleaned daily. I was on the island for a few days and needed help seeing ALL the sights. ANTOINE went Above and Beyond to help me do this and even got me to the local gym. The PRICES were the BEST on the island and the KINDNESS-personal service was the BEST. Antoine and his wife are dedicated to assuring your stay is at ease, memorable and enjoyable. NO QUESTION that I STRONGLY RECOMMEND Hotel Atavai and the caring owners Antoine and his wife.

We were a bit worried after only reading the other reviews after booking our stay. The fears grew bigger as we encountered the same issues as mentioned in other reviews, mainly arriving at 11 and being forced to wait 2 hours for a room that was already ready. But other than that we had absolutely zero complaints. Our room was spacious, the bed was comfortable and the hot shower was fantastic. Some reviews complained about paper thin walls, but our only experience with this was the roosters that started around 6AM. I solved that by using earplugs, and some roosters is anyway nothing compared with the noise you usually put up with in South America. A pleasant surprise was the daily maid service since our booking specifically said "no daily services". Our bed was made and the towels changed every single day. It was also advertised as "WiFi only in lobby", but we had WiFi in the room (although very slow). The only downside is the distance down to the restaurant and bars. It's only a 25 minute walk, but since there's not that much to do downtown you end up going back and forth between the hotel and city pretty often. It's a boring stretch, but this is a proper first-world problem that can also be avoided by booking a taxi (which they will do for you). Their rental car deals are cheaper than the ones down on the main street as well. Maybe it was due to our lowered expectations, but we had a very pleasant stay at this hotel.

Great price wonderful people

The staffs are very friendly and just the hotel i wanted.

This was a tiny place, at the end of a muddy dirt road. The room was cold and humid, not much in way of comfort. WiFi was so slow, essentially nonfunctional, plus no cell signal, so do not expect to connect. The staff was friendly, as they are really trying hard. The place is basically non accessible without a car - rental car can be easily arranged by the way. I guess there was some charm to the remoteness of the place, kind of fitting for the remote corner of the world of an island. A place the sleep is all.

Service was good, but was noisy with the roosters crowing, dogs barking & noisy neighbors, even the room next door you could hear them laughing & talking at midnight. The road to the hotel was not the best. The water pressure was not the best & the wifi was also not the best.

One of the further hotels from town. I loved my room. I'd recommend if you can put up with the negatives for the room/view. Can see the water and it's like a huge private bungalow on stilts (upgrade for like $10 US a day or something). Said they couldn't call me a taxi to the airport. They had a painter that would come up in the morning to start paining the deck-sometimes before I even left for the day-this lasted for a couple days. Very strange-you'd think they wouldn't be doing work on the room while there was a guest staying in it. Had issues with breakfast-cook would show up late and wouldn't have what you wanted to order (even on days after they claimed they would get ex: cheese). I left money one day on the table for my breakfast-more than required-it had tip. This is the worst part-I went to check out and they said I had a balance on the account for scrambled eggs. I told them that I paid that day. They continued to insist I needed to pay (remind you the amount was nominal too like onlyu $3 US). I went back to my room after the reception made calls or something and told me she believed me I paid. I'm trying to pack up the rest of my room and leave-the reception comes up to my room telling me the owner is insisting that I pay! I already paid! Very annoying. I refused to pay as I already did. This hotel has some improving to do revolving around ownership/management.

There was no free shuttle to & from the airport like it was stated but it was close by.

Inside room facilities were nicely convenient - starting from bed softness, pillow, appropriate cover, shower, WC, etc. Could park scooter next to the room door. The only sad thing I couldn't pay directly to Hotels.com as usual, and hotel owner, instead of accepting cash offer, insisted to send him credit card details over e-mail otherwise to cancel my booking ... And I had to block my card 1m later. I'm sure it was not him leaking the data, but rather gmail usage for this.

Close to the airport n downtown, if you are lucky, upgrade to the ocean view room , it will be excellent, they only have one. They pick you up at the airports and give you all the tour information, good service.
