Reviews of Cabañas Anavai Rapa Nui

The view and the staff

The location: the view of the ocean with amazing sunsets (if the weather is not capricious). The spaciousness and cleanliness of my room, the friendliness of the staff.

None

The location was nice - a bit out of town (about 15 minute walk to reach the main downtown area). But - the view of the ocean really made up for it. Plus we didn't mind walking. The staff provided transfer from and to the airport - very convenient, we did not have to arrange anything ourselves.

A simple drip coffee machine will be a great improvement to the room.

The location, the view, and the office staff was friendly and welcoming.

Poor cleaning by staff (mgt says cleaning people don’t do the dishes during guest stay) and insufficient sized trash cans result in infestation of cockroaches. The bathroom faucet was so dirty the dust and water spots had turned sticky/gummy, wouldn’t wipe clean with a clean towel. It started to smell moldy in the kitchen on the second day. I discovered a large cooking pot (the one with burnt food still one it in my picture) that was filled with water and had mold growing on top. Instead of cleaning the pot the former guest(?) or cleaning staff placed the pot under the sink drain (not where the cooking pots are usually stored). Dangerously unhealthy. Staff insisted on standing wine glasses up inside a drawer. Only one was there when I checked-in. When I checked out, there was none. When I opened the drawer (I had laid the tall wine glass down) the one day the cleaning people were in the room, before I knew it the tall wine glass toppled over and broke when it hit one of the plates inside the drawer. INSUFFICIENT utensils and table wear. Not enough towels or hangers on the room. Old dingy kitchen cloths. Dirty used dish sponge. Bring your own because you have no idea where that sponge has been used (floor, feet, shoes … who knows where someone used that dirty sponge). I had a full schedule for my time there. I elected not to attempt anything to do anything during my time there to correct these issues because I wanted to use my time for my enjoyment seeing Isla de Pascua not helping educate the cleaning staff. That is management t’s responsibility.

Walking distance to any daily needs

barking dogs, not property fault just neighborhood

Wonderful staff and great location. Airport pick up and drop off very helpful

Need paper towels in kitchen

Excellent location..Very friendly and helpful staff.

Too many dogs in the neighborhood, making noise all night long.

Excellent big house for a large group. The location is possibly the best in town - a terrace facing the sea and one of the few free access moai sites on the island, and a walking distance to town. The Te Moai Sunset restaurant nearby is great. The house has everything you need for self catering. It comes with 15L water dispenser, too. Miti from the reception met us at the airport, gave us a lift to pick up a rented vehicle and took us back to the airport at the end of our stay. She also offered lots of useful tips, including helping us to book a fantastic private tour that took us to all major sites in a day for less than what you pay at the visitors' centre for the bus tours.

There is no aircon and that was a problem as daytime temperatures were unbearable. At least at night we could clear the air by opening all windows and creating a breeze, but ground floor people had to be careful with the sparrow-sized cockroaches which are ubiquitous on the island. Tricky. The internet did the job, but was cutting out occasionally.

Location was great. Just outside of the main town but close enough to walk to everywhere we needed to go locally. It's a huge property nice and clean.

Lots of the stray dogs will congregate around this property at night and will constantly make noise all night from about 4AM. It was every night during our 3 night stay. Not the properties fault, but this did impact our stay as we were not able to sleep for a full night

Superb location right at Tahei and walking distance to excellent places to eat with a gorgeous view of the water

Could get loud at night with dogs barking and roosters in the morning, BUT keep the windows closed and turn on fans for white noise

Location is excellent

Flushing toilet makes a lot of noise. No hairdryer

The house has a big balcony which offers great views of the nearby ocean. It is also close to the popular sunset viewing point of Ahu Tania. Within walking distance are several restaurants and it is only a short stroll to the centre of Hanga Road.

Location was great. Able to walk everywhere. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Recommended an excellent guide.

Upstairs shower didn’t drain.

It is the perfect location, outside of the town, on the coast, with a sunset view from a balcony. Included transfer from the airport is very convenient, you will also get a short intro on where to go and what to do on the island.

The Internet connection is good on the upper floor but bad on the lower. Hosts need to improve it. If you want barbeque, bring charcoal in a suitcase from Santiago; no chance to buy it around.

The location is stunning! We had beautiful views of the ocean, sunset, and Moai from our cabana. It was an easy walk into town. Miti picked us up from the airport, was our tour guide, and helped us arrange our itinerary. From the moment we met her, it felt like we had a close personal friend on the island!!

Nothing. It was spectacular!!
