Now this place isn't cheap and I'm not rich like most of the people I met there but I can honestly say it was worth every cent. The room was lovely with a fabulous view of the Pacific Ocean. The bathroom was fabulous with a huge tub. The food was excellent. The staff were superb, friendly and extremely helpful. The...

I recently spent 4 days at Explora Rapa Nui - the experience exceded my expectations by leaps and bounds. The guides Gina & Beno were very informative, they spoke in depth about mythology, history, culture and the development of the island. The excursions were always exciting, from hiking, biking, snorkeling, shopping or hanging around at the lodge - my time...

It was with a fair amount of apprehension that we elected to stay at an Explorer hotel on our 4 day - 3 night- visit to Easter Island and we were very glad we did The hotel and its amenities have been very well described by the other reviewers and we agree fully with them. The food was excellent and...

I spent 3 nights at explora Rapa Nui last year with my girlfriend. It was one of the best experiences I have ever had. The hotel is amazingly beautiful and sustainable (very important) and we had a big and nice room with a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean, very romantic, specially when the sun came up in the morning....

We arrived to a lei greeting by Joanna, driven to Explora Mike Rapa, and led to the bar for wonderful pisco sours. Then Joanna gave us the "must sees" for our 3 day stay. We lounged at the beautiful pool before dining and watched the chefs prepare our meals in the glass-enclosed open kitchen. Our room was well-appointed with natural...

We spent 3 nights at Explora Rapa Nui instead of 4 because Lan cancelled
our flight. We would really have enjoyed the additional night.
Though smaller than at Explora Atacama we liked our room with view of the ocean. Food and wine were very good. The "surprise" location of the picnic
was exceptional.
The guides were excellent and the three...

We spent 4 nights at Explora Rapa Nui in late January, exceeded expectations in every respect. At the risk of repeating some others, the drill is fairly straightforward. Late afternoon or early evening, you sit down with a guide and plan your next day, due to the small size of Rapa Nui, all of the excursions are generally 2 1/2...

Dear traveler,
Thank you very much for your kind review. The museum visit is part of our 18 excursions on Easter Island and if at all possible, our guides try to schedule the visit towards the end of a traveler’s stay. The small yet well arranged museum gives a fantastic overview and deeper understanding of the history of the Rapa...

We stayed at Explora Rapa Nui for 3 nights in December 2011 and had a wonderful exprience. The room, the public area, the food, the tours and the service in general were all outstanding. The head tour guide Joann is from Newport Beach, California, and she gave us excellent advice on which tours to take. She also took us on...

Explora anything/anywhere is a phenomenal experience, and this is really a 4 1/2 star rating. The hotel facility meets that unique blend of luxury in the middle of an out of the way outdoors adventure that does not feel out of place or uncomfortable or tacky in the least. In contrast, it fits the environment perfectly. The rooms are attractive...

I looked at every single inn, guesthouse, B&B, and hay-filled manger on Easter Island before choosing this property. Given the cost, I was worried my high expectations wouldn't be met, but all in all, they do a very good job. In the less-than-satisfied reviews here, I saw a few themes, and here are my comments on each.
1. Amateurish service...
