Taha Tai Hotel

“Excellent place to be if things go sideways. ”

Service was beyond exceptional when things went wrong. I can't say better about a hotel than that, IMO. The accommodations were totally fine (being conscious of cost of goods is a sensible thing here...) Considering the location, it's a remarkable place, made all the better by good humans as sta... lisää

We stayed in Taha Tai hotel for 3 nights in August 2023. We stayed in one of the bungalows and enjoyed the calm and quiet surroundings. Our room was clean, house keeping was regular. Amenities included usual toiletries. The hotel is not far from the IPC airport and is very close to the western shore - one can hear waves crashing into the rocks at night. There are many food options nearby. Breakfast was average, and nothing out of the world. The hotel is prompt at booking tours and accommodates specific needs. There is complimentary drinking water for refill 24/7, and the hotel also has a 24/7 front-desk attendant. To summarize:- Pros 1.

Nice hotel with friendly welcome from the staff. The hotel is right on the beach road, seconds from the ocean, Room and shower fine. Breakfast had reasonable selection of food including the usual scrambled eggs. Restaurant food was nice, but rather cold. Limited choice of juice and ice cream. Only 5 minutes from supermarket and 10 minutes walk to lots of restaurants in the town and the excellent Kari Kari dance show. There is no fridge in the room, but there was a fridge in reception for the use of guests. There was also a water dispenser – great to fill up your bottle before going out to see the sights. Overall a good choice if you are staying on the island

“Perfect Base for Easter Island”

We stayed for 5-nights in late-Oct at the Hotel Taha Tai in Hanga Roa on Easter Island ($227 US/night). The hotel, entered from a street 1-block back from the waterfront, is situated on a nicely landscaped property that gently slopes down to the waterfront street. From the back parking lot, you walk by the very nice pool (hardly ever used) on a grassy terrace, then a wide V-shaped building with reception and 2 corridors to the rooms. Further down the slope are the bungalows, then the restaurant with its ocean views. It is a short walk to the harbour, shops and restaurants. We were pleasantly surprised by the hotel because it is much nicer than it appears in the internet photos. While obviously not new, it has been meticulously maintained and renovated. The common areas are warm and welcoming, even the hallways are wide with high white ceilings, the walls with alternating wood panels are lined with local art. Our standard double room's patio faced a wall of vegetation, but we preferred it over the superior rooms facing the pool courtyard because it was both very private and had the afternoon sun. The room was open and spacious, with wood panelling and white accent walls and ceiling. It was furnished with a king bed (super comfortable) with side tables, chair, a couple of luggage benches, a long bench with the TV, AC, and a wardrobe closet with a small safe. There was no refrigerator, but they provided a shared fridge in the lobby that worked well. The shower/tub had plenty of hot water. The only negative was the internet. It was slow, which is understandable in such an isolated location, but the hotel's system required a full sign-in each time (irritating), and timed out after an hour (not an issue). Breakfast was typically Chilean, with a selection of baked goods, several types of fresh juices, fruits, ham and cheese, and hot scrambled eggs and bacon. We also dined-in one night and were both happy with the quality offered. A note on tours: the hotel offered tours through Maururu Travel that are much cheaper than those you see on the internet, and have contacts with local guides and people who rent their cars. We chose the latter for a full day private tour to all of the sites (equivalent to a day tour plus 2 half-day tours through the agency) that cost $150 US for the guide and $60 US for the car – a great deal. And on the issue of prices: we were expecting everything to be much more expensive on Easter Island. The hotel was, but meals, wine, beer and everything else at the supermarket (less than a block away) was very similar to the mainland. Within the context of the high hotel prices on Easter Island, Hotel Taha Tai proved to be a great hotel for a relaxing stay on Easter Island. Recommended.
