Tupa Hotel

There are nice things about the hotel. They pick you up and drop you at the airport. It is quiet and has a great view of the ocean and is in close proximity to restaurants and the main part of town. The staff are nice but don't expect 24 service. The rooms are big and clean although the condition of the main part where they serve breakfast could use a refresh and my room had water damage in the walls and the bathroom grout in places had issues. They also had a big pile of dirt in front of my porch as they are building a new wing. Not all rooms have AC but I didn't feel I needed it. Request it up front if you need it The place is what I would call typical of a tropical local that is more basic. Don't expect luxury but it is nice and relaxing. Staff spoke some English.

We enjoyed our short 2 nights stay at the Tupa hôtel. It's very conveniently located but also quiet and peaceful. The staff were all very helpful and friendly, the breakfast was good, and we were even able to hire their car for a day and a half for $75 which was very reasonable compared to the airport agency prices. All in all good value for money.

The hotel is close to the town and the rooms are clean. As described, it's not a 4-star place as the rooms don't have a safe, air conditioning, TV, phone or other standard amenities. The WiFi in the lobby is not very good with all the guests trying to use it at once. Some of the staff spoke English but it really helps to speak Spanish (as I did). They did pick us up at the airport after a small wait.

Wonderful Paulette organised everything to make my time in Rapa Nui one of the highlights of my trip. I was picked up and dropped off at the airport for free (even though that required a double trip for her) with a fresh lei to welcome me. The hotel is surrounded by bougainvilleas and hibiscus with a horse grazing outside. Breakfast was varied and delicious. Laundry was done for a cost. All my tours were booked according to my wishes - just as soon as I arrived. Wifi never connected (it's pretty isolated there!). Shower was hot. Room was cool. Bed was clean and firm. The other staff spoke little English but were helpful and courteous. The hotel is a block away from the main street in one direction, and the coast in the other. Rapa Nui is generally expensive - but it's unique! I would go there again in a heartbeat.

Staffs are kindness. Need stronger Wi-Fi.
