Where do I even begin? Staying at Hare Nua Hotel on Easter Island was nothing short of unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were embraced like family—not in the polite, distant way some places offer, but with genuine warmth, care, and attention that stayed consistent throughout our stay.
The staff are the true heart and soul of Hare Nua. Every interaction felt sincere—like you were the only guest in the world that mattered. Whether it was offering recommendations, helping us with logistics, or just sharing a warm smile and conversation, they made the experience feel deeply personal. You’re not just staying at a hotel—you’re welcomed into a home.
The personal touches here are what set it apart. From beautifully arranged welcome notes to handcrafted decor, everything feels curated with love and thought. You can feel the care in every corner of the hotel. The grounds are lush, the interiors effortlessly blend comfort with local charm, and the overall presentation is impeccable—boutique luxury without an ounce of pretension.
And let’s talk about the food: absolutely divine. Breakfasts were a highlight of each day—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. The local ingredients, the bold yet comforting flavors, and the peaceful ambiance made every meal feel special. You could taste the passion in every bite.
But what truly sealed the deal for me? The kitty. Such an all around amazing experience
What a memotable stay! You are welcomed in with a banana pastry and drink. The rooms are terrific, have AC and are super clean and modern. There is no TV but wifi is good so bring ypur own device. In the morning there is a designsted table for you and breakfast is all set up. They are super friendly and help with everything. I have traveled for 30 years and stsyed in 2000s of hotels but this is one of most memorable
OMG! Easter Island is a dream location and Hare Nua was our dream accommodation in Hanga Roa. Located on the main street, so close to everything, but quiet at the same time. Hare Nua is a real boutique hotel - small, but with all amenities that you need, everything is of excellent quality, in particular if you consider where you are! Hotel is 5*, very comfortable, with a lot of common spaces, jacuzzi, honesty bar, etc.
Some reviewers were complaining that the breakfast was served (not buffet) and therefore not sufficient - it is opposite. The brekafast was very good and absolutely sufficient, you may order various hot dishes made to order and everyday you receive home made cake. I really believe that served breakfast is a very responsible choice considering that you are on a remote island with limited supplies.
But all comfort of Hare Nua was not what made our stay - it was the Staff. We felt like a part of a big family. From the checkin, tropical welcome drink, cute sign with our first names during meals until birthday celebration for my wife, with birthday cake, traditional Polynesian crown for her, Happy Birthday in local language and warm greetings from all the Staff. Thank you so much Hare Nua Family! We can't promise that we will come back, as this was the most remote travel in our life, but anybody visiting the island should try Hare Nua experience!
