Kona Koa lodge was perfect! The location is peaceful and quiet. There are multiple units on the property but positioned perfectly so you rarely see each other. The units are very clean and look newly built. The bed was very comfortable and unit was beautifully decorated. The family who owns the lodge is so welcoming and helpful even meeting us at the airport with flowers. They provided free transport to and from the airport. We were brought fresh pineapple juice and sat on the porch with the owner upon arrival to setup our car rental and tour guides. Our unit was cleaned everyday with fresh flowers provided on the porch afterwards. They provided recommendations on restaurants and were available via WhatsApp at all times. The owners made us feel like family. It was the right balance of remote and resort that fits Rapa Nui. Added bonus was free drinking water jugs in the room (thankfully not individual water bottles) and electricity from solar panels. We would definitely stay here again!!

We spent only 3 nights here in November, but we enjoyed every moment of the stay! The room has marvelous view of the ocean, and on clear nights you should be able to the milky way (unfortunately it was always cloudy during our stay, but we still saw many stars). It is far away from the town so you will definitely need to rent a car. I really like the small kitchen in the room where you can cook while enjoying the breath-taking view of the garden and the ocean. Owners are very friendly and speaks very good English (you cannot find many english speakers here). I would definitely stay here again if I have a chance to go to Rapa Nui again. Tip: it can get a little chilly at night in spring time, so I would suggest always shower in the afternoon!

Incredible Lodging on an Incredible Island
Posted 30 Oct 2023 on HotelsThe Kona Koa Lodge is a perfect accommodation on Rapa Nui. The property is outside of the main town of Hanga Roa so it feels secluded and quiet. You will hear the chickens and the dogs at times during the night or early morning, but it's all part of the ambiance -- which includes wild horses roaming nearby, island breezes, colorful flowers and a sea view.
Fiji is a great host. She picked us up at the airport, pointed out several places in town and gave us her WhatsApp number in case we had any questions or needed any reservations.
It was only my wife and I in our bungalow but with an extra loft space and futon in the living room you could easily stay with a family of 4 or 5, or with 4 adult friends.
The water pressure and temperature were unexpectedly amazing. Internet speed and stability were also surprisingly good; we were able to sustain several Facetime calls back to the US with no problems. The bed is extremely comfortable, the linens are nice, and they clean the room each day.
If you're wondering where to get your guide and if you should rent a car, just save yourself the time and stress and do both through Kona Koa. The guide they booked for us, Tai, was fantastic and great to have conversations with. She also drove the car so my wife and I could marvel at the countryside on the way to the various sites.
So if you're reading this reasearching lodging on Easter Island, stop and look no further -- Kona Koa is the place to stay!

The Easter Island is very special travel destination. To be honest, finding a good hotel on the island is not easy.
I will say that we were very lucky with Kona Koa Lodge!
This property is clean, safe and has fantastic Polynesian charm.
The owners (Jerome and Fiji) went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. We did rent a car through them, and they also provided us with a guide who showed us all the historical sights of the island (she was great!)
Overall, we had a great experience and highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Easter Island.
Thank you so much!

Kona Koa Lodge was a fantastic choice for us. Fiji, the innkeeper, was lovely and attentive. Our bungalow was perfect for our needs. It is a bit outside of town, so a taxi ride is needed to and from the lodge to town, as the walk is a bit far for older folks. The countryside is beautiful, and Kona Koa Lodge takes full advantage of it.
