A very warm and welcoming reception by Marcelo and his team, you feel part of a family including whatsapp group for new arrivals, so that you can go on tours and restaurants together. Very much enjoyed the tours and all the information provided by Marcelo. Rapa Nui and its history and culture are absolutely fascinating. Family restaurant close by with excellent fresh fish dishes. A once in a lifetime trip!

I cannot recommend this place enough! Friendly staff who go out of their way to help. Marcelo was an EXCELLENT guide. Look no further and stay here. Excellent value for money. Loved it!

As are many of the businesses in Rapa Nui this is a family owned and run business. It is a great value in a home like atmosphere. It included a great breakfast. Being very well located in the village I walked to everything. Marcello had great recommendations for everything and does tours for his guests. Taking tours in very small groups or by yourself gave you a personal experience and it was flexible. Some days the weather was rainy so we went the next day when the weather was sunny. I stayed 5 nights and really enjoyed it

Kaimana Inn is a family run hotel in the heart of Hanga Roa. The owner’s daughter, Jilleri (hope I spelled it right) was in charge during my stay. She prepared delicious breakfasts each morning and arranged my 3 tours of the island. My tour guide, Giovanni, did an excellent job explaining the history of the island and he speaks English very well. Our driver, Alexis, got us safely to all the sites. If you are expecting a fancy hotel, then this is not the place for you; however, if you want a taste of local life, then this is the place to stay. Dogs barking, roosters crowing, music at night, dirt roads, all a part of beautiful Rapa Nui. For me, it was a dream come true.

Wow, where do I start? When I booked this place, I figured I would have to arrange a taxi to get there and then find guides to see the island attractions. I was wrong. As soon as I booked, Marcelo contacted me for my arrival time and was there to meet us at the airport. He is also a registered guide and we did our tours with him, talk about convenient. The cabana he put us in was well equipped and conveniently located in a quiet area of Hanga Roa. Weather dealt us a blow one day, but Marcelo was able to make up for a lost day by combining the tours we wanted in the remaining days we had. He was always checking on us to see if we needed anything.

Marcelo and his family were focused on the best possible experience for their guests. We came in on the third flight after the COVID tourism resumption, which limited the number of days to tour Rapa Nui. Between a little bit of good weather luck and Marcelo's efforts we were able to see all the major attractions without it feeling rushed. I think the point of Kaimana Inn is that Marcelo and his family will go to great efforts to ensure that their guests have a good experience. He also supported logistical questions in advance. In his own words "Sometimes my guests had a difficult journey or have faced other issues but when they leave my goal is for them to view me as a friend".

Filthy, a real dump. Unlike as advertised, there was no restaurant to speak of. On the first day there was no hot water. I had to ask them to actually clean the room, which was very dirty. The "breakfast" consisted of instant coffee and some scrambled eggs and a few slices of cold cuts. It feels like a private home run by a bunch of kids (who have toddlers themselves) where the guests are an afterthought.

Hotel in disrepair

The hotel was probably a lovely hotel at one time. Unfortunately, it looks like the owner has not spent any money on maintenance because many things don’t work. The bathroom door could not close. The room door lock needs repair. The shower plumbing was loose. The air conditioning didn’t work. The room fan didn’t work. The nice family that lives there did their best to provide service, but it seems like the maintenance is off their hands. It is absolutely sad to see this quaint hotel with so much potential fall in disrepair!

This property has to have its photos updated. The place looks nothing like its advertised photos. Shocking when you first get there. There is no restaurant and it looks like it's been that way for years. The room is like a camp cabin with no air con or even a fan. If you want to open the windows, the screens have holes so the mosquitos get in. If you call, Marcello answers (from Santiago) and is very nice but his daughter(s) who are on site, don't seem to care at all about the place or the customers. Really a weird situation! I couldn't even stay past a few hours and moved to another hotel even knowing that I would have to pay for my entire stay.

This is not a hotel. It’s your friend’s house who invited you over to spend some time in the most remote part of the world. That’s how welcome and pleasant I felt here. Marcelo and his family run this establishment. He’s a one stop shop for everything Rapa Nui. Marcelo welcomed me at the airport with a gorgeous lea. The hotel is off main street in a private alleyway. It’s simple, but offers and authentic experience. Marcelo’s family lives up front and the back has a nice patio, kitchen area and several rooms. I was solo, but my room had three beds. So I had plenty of space. I was welcomed with a yummy smoothy, and after that Marcelo just took care of everything for me, from giving me different tours, arranging a glass-bottom boat ride, booking a 4-wheeler for me to do some adventure exploration, arranging a show reservation, and taking me to the National park areas as a credentialed guide. Did I mention, he’s also the volunteer firefighter. I really enjoyed my stay here. The room is clean and comfortable. There were plenty of fans available if I needed them, but the heavenly cross breeze made those unnecessary. I loved that instead of serving breakfast separately, they encourage guests to sit around a bigger table. I met several interesting people this way. Felt great. The location is great. Walking distance from the town main street and less than 10 minutes from the town beach with several Moai’s. Excellent service. Excellent stay. Go here.

・メインストリートから近い場所だったため選択した．しかし、当日に何も説明も無く別の場所で降ろされた． 当該ホテルから≒600～700mほど距離で繁華街から逆方向に離れ、暗くなってからの夜は安易に歩けない辺鄙な場所． ・３泊したが、オーナーの都合で朝食は全て無しになった．場所を含め抗議し一部を返金されたが ２０ US＄ だけだった． ・タオル交換とトイレットペーパーの補充を依頼したところ『３日に１回！』の回答． ペーパーが無くなった場合は、どうするのか？と問い合わせたところ『タオル＝２０ US＄，トイレットペーパー＝１０ US＄　支払えば対応する』の回答． (タオルは新品より高額であり、トイレットペーパーは何ロール購入が出来るのか？） ※部屋は古く綺麗ではないが広く台所も有り、シャワー湯の温度，量(水圧)は一般的．空港送迎も対応してくれる．ドライヤー，ハンガー，冷蔵庫以外の備品は無い． オーナーと会ったのはチェックアウト＆空港への送り１回のみだったが、その間はWhatsAppでやり取り．一応？要望は聞いてくれる． 場所に拘らず朝食無しでも可で、タオル／シーツ交換は３日以上でも気にしなく、トイレットペーパーは自己調達される人ならば可でしょう．

Das Nötige ist vorhanden

Grundsätzlich ist alles da, aber das Zimmer ist nicht sehr sauber und in etwas desolatem Zustand (z.B. Kühlschrank, Dusche). Der Hotelbesitzer wartete am Flughafen, informierte mich aber nicht darüber und war dann sehr unhöflich, weil er warten "musste". (Es handelte sich nicht um ein Kontaktaufnahme-Problem meinerseits: Alle anderen Personen vor Ort berichteten dasselbe.)

I had booked 4 nights here. As soon as I arrived from the airport I knew I misjudged this place. The pictures do not truly represent the property. The pictures must be years old. Perhaps, pre COVID as this place was a crap hole. This place is not a Hotel or an Inn as either of those would imply staff. No staff in existence. 2 hours after I arrived I found a more suitable property to stay at. I stayed one night and forfeited the other 3 nights and yes, Be advised. BP
