"We had an incredible stay at this beautiful property. Our experience started months before we arrived on the island when we reached out to the excursion planning team. Maria Cecilia helped us organize a very detailed itinerary that included all of our desired outings. She also suggested other tours that ended up being perfect for us. Importantly we wanted private tours, transfers, and experiences and they delivered. Once we arrived we were warmly welcomed and immediately transferred to the hotel. The room was really unique and you could sense the local touches, including the stunning trees that dominate the interior architecture. We faced a little rain but our guide, Sebastian, was always willing to flex to make sure we maximized our time on the island. He was a perfect fit for our curious and active exploration style. We also loved being so close to town so we could walk around on our own time. Overall it was a tremendous stay made better by the people who worked so hard to make sure we enjoyed our time."

"Nayara Hanaroa is as perfect as it can get for anyone who wants a quiet, elegant, eco-friendly stay with world-class hospitality. It is no surprise that it is one of The Leading Hotels of the World. Beautiful rooms, incredible service, great location, and some of the best food and wine I've had anywhere in the world. The guides took me all over the island and I came away with immense gratitude for Chile's Rapa Nui's commitment to preserving its history and ensuring its future through sustainability and strict environmental protocols. It was great fun negotiating with the hens and one very imperious rooster to determine which part of my terrace I was allowed to occupy. I will never forget looking up at the sky...and seeing stars. Lots of stars. For a city girl, it was a wonder. I will ask the staff's forgiveness for not remembering everyone's name but please know I appreciated what each one of you did to make my stay memorable: Jo the bartender who made me the most elegant-looking Boulevardier ever; Lina, Katia, and Leonardo and others who made each meal a joy; Elias who arranged the perfect tours for me; the archaeologist for one of my excursions who showed remarkable grace watching carefully as two exuberant TikTokkers tried to get the perfect picture (and no, this couple was not the typical guest); and finally, the handsome guy (young enough to be my son) in the main restaurant who helped me choose the perfect wines with dinner. A very special shoutout also to the chefs and the kitchen crew. Never in my life have I tasted tuna and tuna ceviche this good. Thank you for your talent and artistry. What a wonderful stay."
