An accommodation on Easter Island, which is worth highlighting, without a doubt, is the Hangaroa Eco Village Spa, a reference in Hanga Roa, in addition to being the only 5-star hotel on the island and one of the accommodations with the most positive ratings and references.

Accommodation in Easter Island. Hangaroa Eco Village Spa
As they say and believe that it defines them perfectly: "Visiting our hotels is much more than traveling. They are destinations, unique places that inspire, renovating experiences, that simply enrich our lives and that do not leave us indifferent. The more we discover, the more we want to continue knowing.
We can see cultures that show us their ancient traditions. We can live experiences that do us good for the soul, body and mind.
We always look for innovation to deliver the best possible service.
We have a challenge: that the trip does not end at the end of your stay, and so when you return home you have the feeling of having obtained a gift for your life. "

What makes Hangaroa Eco Village Spa different
We must bear in mind that the best experiences are achieved by making the most of the place we visit, while combining it with a stay that suits our needs and, above all, surprises us.
That's what you get Hangaroa Eco Village Spa, also giving you the possibility to enjoy the incredible nature in which it is located.
Something we want to highlight is the Kainga concept with which they are sustained. A concept in which respect for mother earth leads them to worry about natural resources, something very important for future generations of Rapa Nui.
Culture of Destiny, encounter with Nature, unique Hotel and unforgettable experiences
The Hangaroa Eco Village Spa constantly invites you to live the experience of knowing its culture, something that makes visiting Easter Island even more magical than you could imagine.
Being located just a few minutes from Hanga Roa, this will allow you to get to know the culture, at the same time that you integrate into the local community, knowing through them their customs and values.
In addition to everything you can know on your own, through the excursions proposed by the hotel and its guides, you can learn about the incredible Rapa Nui culture, a part that we believe, is essential in the trip.
Ahu Vai Uri, Ahu Tahai and Ahu Ko Te Riku
Here you can see first-hand, through the concept of the hotel, how the experiences you will live, are intimately connected with the origin of Rapa Nui, creating unforgettable relationships through people and the environment and above all, combining perfectly what best of the island: Nature, culture, people, history, gastronomy and adventure.
Sustainability at the Hangaroa Eco Village Spa
If there is something we want to highlight is the commitment of the hotel Hangaroa Eco Village Spa with nature, taking care of the environment and at the same time, leaving a unique legacy to the Rapa Nui people.
The entire hotel has massive solar lighting, LED technology, high efficiency electrical equipment, as well as self-supply of irrigation water. In addition, all cleaning products used on a daily basis, maintain environmental management systems in their manufacture
If we stop in the decoration of the interiors, something that has also caught our attention, since in addition to being careful to the smallest detail, all the decoration is based on geographical elements of the island, giving great importance to the light natural, using high quality materials and especially taking special care to maintain the most perfect integration with the Rapa Nui environment.

Vaitea Pool
One of the great differences of Hangaroa Eco Village Spa Regarding the rest of Easter Island accommodation, it is as we mentioned before, the environment in which it is located, in addition to the exclusive experiences it offers. If we add a pool to all that, fully integrated into the environment, as you can see in the images, we can intuit how the stay here will become unforgettable as well as unrepeatable.
Vaitea Pool
Bearing in mind that Easter Island only has two beaches, somewhat remote from Hanga Roa and that in addition, the island enjoys a tropical climate and mild temperatures throughout the year, being able to enjoy the island's largest pool at the end of the day, we assure you, is another incentive to choose this accommodation in Easter Island.

Reception Hangaroa Eco Village Spa
Upon entering we find several tables and chairs, where you can wait to check in or wait for the time of excursions, in addition to a small shop, with typical Easter Island products as well as necessary products during the stay.
As a curiosity do not miss detail of the ceilings of the reception, which you can also see in several other areas of the hotel, such as the Poevara Restaurant, which in our opinion are simply impressive.
Reception Hangaroa Eco Village Spa
After passing through the reception itself, we find a small room, with sofas and chairs, overlooking the pool, ideal for relaxing after a day getting to know Easter Island. Here they stand out, as in the rest of the rooms, the care of the details and the materials used, which combine perfectly with the environment.

Gastronomy in Hangaroa Eco Village Spa
If in addition to the whole experience in Hangaroa Eco Village Spa there is something we would like to highlight from this accommodation in Easter Island, it is without a doubt the three gastronomic establishments with which it has, in which we have been able to taste some of the most delicious dishes of this trip to Chile and Easter Island.
Poevara Restaurant
This is the hotel's main restaurant, where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served, included in the program "all inclusive"With a capacity for 110 people inside and 60 on the outside terrace, it is a perfect option to enjoy any of the meals of the day.
Poevara Restaurant
The restaurant has spectacular views of the sea, both from the terrace and from the inside and has an extensive menu of starters, seconds and desserts.
What we do want to warn you about is something, it has so many delicious dishes that it will cost you to decide only for one. That said, here is our recommendation: as much as you like a dish, we are sure it will be like that, at the next meal, no matter how tempted you are to repeat, try a different one, you will not regret it. The selection of your menu is simply delicious, as is the attention of all the staff, which make this restaurant a unique and perfect place to enjoy the best cuisine.
Poevara Restaurant
Different dishes we tried at the Poevara Restaurant
Ceviche

Mango Ice Cream
Although all the dishes we tried throughout the 8 days we were staying, we loved them, highlighting in all the quality as well as the presentation, we want to highlight the ceviches, the variety of fish from the menu and as dessert the ice cream. Really awesome.

What happens when the night arrives at the Hangaroa Eco Village Spa
Although initially this question may not seem to make much sense, at the Hangaroa Eco Village Spa, we believe that it is something that should be taken into account and that the night here not only invites you to enjoy a magnificent dinner in one of its restaurants or lie in the room with the soft sound of the waves.
In addition to that, we strongly recommend that, after dinner, when the sun has already fallen and the lights are on, take a walk through the facilities.
We assure you that if the hotel looks perfectly integrated in nature during the day, at night, the experience and vision is unique.

What Hangaroa Eco Village Spa has not given us
Although there is nothing that we did not like as such throughout our stay at the Hangaroa Eco Village Spa, some situations we experienced have caught our attention:
- Although the reception staff is very professional and pleasant, nothing has to do with the room staff or the Poevara Restaurant, who are attentive to every look to return a smile or cross a few words, something that is much appreciated and, about All when you stay several days.
At the reception, we found ourselves in many moments when we greeted each other, both at the exit and at the entrance and they did not even raise the head of the counter, something that was somewhat striking. With whom we did have conversation and greetings every time we crossed was with the head of reception, who at all times was attentive to all our needs.
- At the Poevara Restaurant, one of the nights there was a fairly large group of guests having dinner. Without explanation, they began to move all the tables and chairs, placing them as they thought they were, leaving us practically without any place, besides finding ourselves surrounded by them, by the position in which they had placed the tables. This, together with the uproar they had, made us change our schedules for the next few days, to avoid matching again.
We believe that in a place like this, the limits should be marked by the staff, especially when there are more guests who have no need to feel uncomfortable about the behavior of other guests.
Yes we have to say that one of the waitresses, seeing the situation and without us saying anything, came several times to apologize, offering to go out on the terrace to be more calm and comfortable.
We cannot finish this article without thanking all the staff of the Hangaroa Eco Village Spa for their kindness and treatment throughout our stay.
Especially highlighting the treatment received by the room staff and the Poevara Restaurant, which day after day, and during the three services we have enjoyed each day, have made us feel at home, without losing at any time that exquisite professionalism for which Professionals differ, giving us a smile at each crossing.
Chic @ s, thank you very much. We hope to see you again very soon.
* During our trip to Chile on Easter Island we stayed at the Hangaroa Eco Village Spa maintaining a collaboration with them. This has not influenced the opinions that are reported here, which are all a summary of our experience and feelings during the stay.
