The eco lodge was a good base for our stay in Hanga Roa. An easy walk into town for restaurants, the museums, sunsets etc and a good safe place to stay to explore the island from. A few parking spots, or ample spaces on the road outside.|The rooms are basic and as advertised. The property is a little dated, but set amongst some beautiful plants with chickens and cats roaming around. Our room was simple but adequate, it was clean, the shower was good and being open to open the patio style door let in lots of fresh air. Towels were old and scratchy.|Breakfast was simple, but adequate to set you up for the day and the service was always smiley - some very nice juices, bread for toasting, one cereal choice, tea, coffee, cheese, meat, fruit....|Back to the ‘eco’ part. Not sure where this fits in, maybe the grounds and the plants, but at breakfast, jam is in little plastic containers, the butter is imported from Chile as is almost everything else. Just not sure where their ‘eco’ credentials come from?|All in all, adequate, it did the job for a...
Read moreBasic accommodation. Our double room had a/c, a ceiling fan, fridge and an en-suite. Towels and toiletries were provided. I liked the setting, which was in a sort of woodland. There were decking to get to the rooms. Chicken were roaming freely in the premises, and at times, came into the breakfast area as well. Occasionally, one of them became bold enough to fly onto our table. They are early risers and do make a ruckus each morning. This could be a problem if you are a late riser. There is no proper Reception Desk. There was a youngster sitting at the desk, but could not communicate in English. Rooms did not have tea and coffee facilities. Kettle was available at the Reception desk, but no cups to prepare the tea. I liked the breakfast, which was simple. Ample tea and coffee, bread, cakes, butter and jams, ham, cheese, cereals, fruit salad, fresh fruits were available. Despite the numerous chickens, there were no eggs! This is a 3* eco friendly hotel. Do not expect...
Read moreThis is a well located hotel a short walk from the harbour with some decent size rooms and lush tropical gardens but is a very basic hotel with limited facilities and the disadvantage of free range chickens roaming the gardens. They look cute but if the entire point of a hotel is for you to sleep in it, here you have no chance of sleeping as the competing cockerels start off well before dawn meaning you have no chance of sleeping beyond 6.30am. To add insult to injury there are no kettles in the rooms and no tea or coffee making facilities in the lobby (or anywhere to get drinking water in the hotel) so you have to wait a couple of hours amidst the cacophony of the chickens for breakfast to open to get a drink. Breakfast itself is amongst the worst I have eaten in years, not even any fresh eggs from the chickens! I think standards may have slipped post COVID but this hotel needs to seriously...
