Close to airport
One thing I really liked about this place was it’s literally walking distance from the airport, about two blocks away. The transfer company had my flight wrong so didn’t show up, and I really wanted to get to the hotel to use the pool, so I walked, and it was fine. They actually let me into my room early, which was very kind, and let me check out late because I was coming back from a beach excursion and wanted to have a shower. Good breakfast, nice, big room, clean, and lovely pool! My friend had wanted lunch one day but apparently you have to give 24 hours notice as they are only equipped for breakfast. That is the only thing that might be a downside because it is a bit of a walk (10 min) to another restaurant, and about 20 minute walk to town. It was an amazing experience, Easter island is a fantastic place.

A Sensible Place to Stay on Easter Island
The Puku Vai is a motel-style one-story hotel located just two blocks from the airport terminal, so you can easily walk there when you arrive. As a result, it's a few blocks further from the main restaurant area than some other hotels, but still not that far (though a rental car or taxi helps if you are carrying groceries or late at night). Rooms are large and air conditioned (unusual on Easter Island), with plenty of hot water. The hotel has a small swimming pool if you don't feel like driving to the beach. There isn't much noise at night, but the local roosters will make sure you get up at sunrise (again, a general Easter-Island feature, not a hotel defect). The breakfast buffet is fine. We had hoped for more support from the hotel arranging tourist outings--staff were friendly, but a bit evasive. You really need to know what you want before you get there, since internet is exceedingly slow (again an island-wide issue, not a hotel issue). Overall, a reasonable choice at the high end of Easter-Island offerings.

Das Hotel war eine sehr gute Wahl ! Wir sind zu Fuß (!!) vom Flughafen zum Hotel gegangen, da dieses nur 200m entfernt war. (Ein Flug am Tag ist wahrlich nicht störend) ! Die Zimmer sind liebevoll und gemütlich, Frühstück ist gut. Der Pool ist auch völlig ausreichend ! Am besten war die Ruhe !!

A comfy and great value stay on Easter Island
This is a great option for a few days on Easter Island. It’s walking distance from the airport (even toting a couple of suitcases behind you) and it has pretty much everything you could ask for - a big comfortable bed, a decent shower and a good breakfast. The air-conditioning works well and there’s a great pool. It’s a bit of a walk into the main street but unless you have mobility issues it’s hardly an issue.
There is wi-fi but it’s very slow. Don’t get upset about it - it’s pretty much the same everywhere on the island. The only thing I’d love as an addition there would be an espresso coffee in the mornings. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. A great spot to base yourself on Rapa Nui

Supportive staff and pleasant atmosphere
This was a pleasant place to stay, staff and relevant information were available all the time. Manager responded me several times prior our arrival and almost immediately,which was very positive to me. Everything was feasible to do and organise from the hotel to ease our stay.
Room and bathroom were clean, breakfast was lovely, there is a small swimming pool, which we didn't use.
There is internet access as well.
Staff is amazingly supportive and all of this made our holiday in the island.

Very nice hotel, very clean and great staff. My only small complaint would be that the wireless internet could be better, but this may also just be me living in an area that has super fast network.
Very close to the airport and just on the edge of town. Easy walking distance to grocery stores, downtown (if you can call it that). parking is available if you rent transport, although you can get picked up by the tour companies from the hotel lobby.
