Inaki Uhi Hotel

Excellent location n atmosphere , recommended

The Inaki Uhi was a wonderful place to stay for our 2 nights in Rapa Nui. The hotel picks up and returns guests to the airport and welcomes you with fresh leis! This is a family run hotel and the hosts are Ivonne snd Alejandre. Our room was spacious and modern with a small sitting area as well as sleeping area. There is a courtyard area outside the rooms with areas to sit and relax. The flowers there—and everywhere in Rapa Nui—are lush snd beautiful. Breakfast included fruit, juices, yogurt, coffee, and a variety of breads (fresh! There’s a bakery next door). Eggs can be prepared on request. As we were preparing to check out, we waited with our luggage and 3 coats in the lobby for our ride back to the airport-which is about 5 minutes away. We arrived in plenty of time—after checking in, we realized we had left the 3 coats at the hotel. In a panic, i couldn’t find the phone number for Inaki Uhi. We decided that my husband would stay at the airport and I would take a taxi to the hotel. I found a taxi and got in, but the driver didn’t take credit cards so I jumped out to find another taxi. The first taxi drove away. I suddenly realized that I had dropped my phone in the taxi! Using “find my phone” we knew where the phone was but had no way to get to get to it. By now, my husband had found the hotel phone number—only 45 minutes to last tome to board! Alejandro saved the day! We brought the coats and helped my husband find the phone! It was a miracle and we made our flight!we could not have done it without Alejandro’s help!!! Mission accomplished! Thank you!!

Okay not all the rooms have air con so please check if this is important to you but the room was a good size, clean with a modern bathroom,. It might not have all the facilities of a major, larger hotel but what it lacks it makes up for in service. The hotel is family run. They serve a very nice continental breakfast on the veranda along with cooked eggs on request. They transfer you from/to the airport which is about a 15 min walk (it's a small island !). Where they win hands down is in the tours that they provide. It surpasses all the predetermined tours, being totally bespoke to take into the mix and wishes of the residents.

This place is a gem! Alejandro and his family run this centrally located hotel. The beds and rooms are very comfortable with nice spots to hangout outside. The ocean and swimming areas are a short walk down the road. Restaurants all up and down the street. Alejandro is one of the best guides I’ve had. His enthusiasm is contagious as he is an expert on all things Rapa Nui. I felt extremely lucky to have gotten to stay here. Hope to do it again someday. Highly recommended!!!!

Long story short, 1. 5 minutes drive to hotel from airport, driver Alejandro let us waited for next guest by pick up van for 50 minutes after arrival. He told me” it is free of charge, you can walk to hotel” then he spoke only to one guest in the car in Spanish. 2 Due to unexpected flight delay, purposely delayed pick up and check in process by hotel, hotel left us no choice but pay private tour price for group tour from this hotel only. 3 due to tour arrangements, last morning we have nothing to do before 3 pm, but I am not allowed to enjoy my breakfast because their staff came to me to tell me” what you want!? you ate too much, other guests coming, they needs your table” 4 “ hotel help for tour “only means you have to hire their own guy with disrespect non professional bully manner, Alejandro. 5 tour is arranged according to this guy’s own needs, for example, he need break between 1200-1530, he needs to drive another new tour group, so he asked guest to drive us to tour with his Suzuki without even ask our consent. He goes or does what he wants, we have to wait for him chatting with local for about 20 minutes after tour standing in the wind and cold. 5 We have to walk at least 15-30minutes twice a day from this hotel to sea site to enjoy restaurants and views, better stay by the shore. Hotel is not bad itself except all people in Group tour all shocked by roaches and or beetles, absoluted not join their tour if you do not want to ruin your vacation like ours.

Cute place in a great section of town, easy walking to the waterfront and shopping areas. Alejandro and Ivonne were extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast is perfect. High recommend overall!

This hotel was centrally located, close to restaurants, cultural centers, and beaches. Yvonne was very helpful, thanks for all her help!!!

Inaki Uhi is amazing. It's right at the center of town so it makes getting around easy. The staff was so friendly and helpful with planning activities. The rooms were clean. The internet was reliable and I was even able to make a few video calls. Would highly recommend this place for anybody visiting the island.
