We had a fantastic time at Kona Koa lodge. The staff was excellent. Jerome was very responsive to my questions when making reservations and planning the trip. Fidji was so kind, gracious and professional meeting us at the airport with a beautiful floral lei and was available all day every day to answer questions and give recommendations. The rooms were very clean and bedding was very comfortable. We will definitely stay at Kono Koa lodge again. We loved that it was a bit out of the city. It was so quiet and peaceful with breath taking views. Jerome and Fidji arranged fantastic tours for us with our guide Juaquin who shared with us his beautiful island and the history of it. Kona Koa Lodge made our trip to Easter Island a wonderful adventure to be remembered always.

From the moment we arrived at Kona Koa Lodge, we knew our stay was going to be something special. Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of Rapa Nui, this lodge truly exceeded our expectations in every way. Jerome, our host, was the epitome of warmth and hospitality. He was attentive and always available to help with anything we needed, from local tips to arranging transportation. His guidance made our stay both easy and enjoyable. The room itself was a highlight. Spacious and immaculately clean, it offered a tranquil retreat after days spent exploring the island. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep, and the overall quietness of the location meant that every morning we woke up refreshed and ready to tackle the day's adventures. The lodge’s amenities and its serene setting contributed to a feeling of exclusive privacy and comfort. For anyone visiting Rapa Nui, I cannot recommend Kona Koa Lodge enough. It’s not just a place to stay, but an integral part of the experience on this unique island. Jerome and his wonderful lodge are sure to make your visit unforgettable!

Jerome, the owner is really amazing and makes feel all his guests special. We travel a lot and are quite a picky travellers. Kona Koa combines hospitality of family hotel with big hotels stadards. True, there is no aircondition, but I was happy as we always have fight if to switch it on or not :). You are treated as relatives comming to visit your remote family. Get help with all trips, car rental and tips for the town best restaurants.

It is advisable to rent a car to easily access the town for groceries, dining, and exploring this beautiful island.

Kona Koa is a beautiful property, situated on a hill facing west, offering perfect views of the sunsets. It is very quiet and peaceful, yet conveniently close to the town center. The cabin we stayed in was spacious and well-maintained, surrounded by beautiful gardens and delicious fruit plants. Special thanks to the owners, Jerome and Fidji, who were friendly and helpful. They assisted us in arranging car rental and connected us with amazing tour guides who took us on private tours around the island and its caves. We particularly enjoyed spending our mornings on the terrace, which featured a kitchenette. The famous sunset spot at the Tahai complex is located very close by.

Nothing.

Absolutely everything. Our accommodation was lovely and comfortable. We loved being able to see the sea from our patio. Owners Jerome and Fidgi are absolutely outstanding. They were incredibly friendly and helped us coordinate the details of our trip such as obtaining guides for the park, making dinner reservations, and airport transport. We were also moved by the small gestures: Jerome allowed us to use his hiking poles and brought us mangoes from his tree.

Had a great vacation in Chile at December. Stayed at the Easter Island at the Kona Koa Lodge and it was really right choice. Jerome is a very attentive and friendly host, he organized transfer for us from the airport and back, recommended a very good local guide for excursion around the National Park and meeting the highlights. We also rented a car at Kona Koa and fully satisfied by this experience, everything was organized easy and conveniently. The house is surrounded by lovely blossoming garden, it’s clean and cozy and fully equipped with necessary household appliances and utensils. Highly recommend the place for those, who going to discover the Island!

Fidji and Jerome are the most lovely hosts. They helped us arrange airport transport, car rental, restaurant reservations, and day tours - always being so kind and available. The accommodation itself was beautiful, well designed, new, with a great bathroom and shower, and a kitchen opening up to the terrace - all completed by a stunning and relaxing view. 10/10 would recommend!

The location was a bit far from town, and there weren’t really meal options near the hotel. We had a rental car for part of our stay here, but when we didn’t have it, it was a lot tougher to get around. Also, the rooms were very, uh, connected to the outdoors, which meant more access for bugs like mosquitoes to get in or for certain rooms to get hot. I thought the property handled it well, by providing bug spray and a plug in repellent and plenty of shade options, but something to be aware of if that’s something you’re sensitive to.

Beautiful rooms and property with sea views and even the ability to see a moai from the right location! Friendly host who was responsive over WhatsApp to help with restaurant recommendations / bookings, ideas for tours, etc before our stay. The rooms themselves were also really cool, with windows that could be opened with rope pulleys and spacious showers/bedrooms/outdoor lounge spaces, and fully equipped kitchen and lots of drinking water provided. Importantly, everything was very clean. This was the perfect place for us to spend a rainy day after we had completed many of our tours and didn’t have much more exploring in us. We were also dropped off at the airport at the end of our stay which was a nice touch. Parking was readily available.

I enjoyed everything

Very clean. Private, but easy access to town. Beautiful views. Provided everything we needed for cooking or otherwise. Extremely relaxing. Staff was very responsive and proactive about reservations or making recommendations. Big thank you to Fidji and Jerome.

I can’t say enough good things about our stay at Kona Koa. We booked the premium cabin with the outdoor shower, and it felt incredibly private with a gorgeous view. Jerome and Fidji were friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with, and they gave us lots of great recommendations. The cabin itself was really nicely put together with an attention to detail that definitely showed. The starlink internet worked great for us - easy to stream movies after dinner or do a bit of work. Renting a car definitely seemed necessary given that the lodge is a bit outside of town, but it was convenient and affordable to rent through Kona Koa. I would highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking for a quieter and more private experience on the island.

No complaints! It’s a bit outside of town but we knew that going into it. Wi-Fi was spotty in the room but it worked! We didn’t go to Rapa Nui to sit on the internet

The bungalow was absolutely lovely and the views were incredible. Loved that it had a small kitchen including stove and mini fridge for easy coffee and breakfast items. Jerome and Fiji helped coordinate our rental car (yes, get one) and local guides for tours.

Beautiful views, very lovely, beautifully crafted and restful rooms. The staff (family) was excellent! They arranged a rental car and guide for us. The guide was excellent!! They also picked us up at the airport and dropped us off. Having our own stove top and refrigerator was very nice after weeks of restaurant food. The grocery store in town had a very nice selection of food and drinks.

Our stay at Kona Koa was awesome! It is a serene and peaceful place to stay. Fiji and Jerome, father and daughter, were very hospitable,warm, and kind. Our cottage was a quaint Polynesian inspired style. I felt at home. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you, everyone, at Kona Koa.

Local dogs and roosters were a bit noisy at night but one just needs to bring some earplugs!

Traditional style and individual cabins allowed for privacy and each has a nice deck.

Stayed in November 2023

A fantastic stay! Such a beautiful setting - an amazing view with sunsets over the ocean, wonderful cabin with everything you need, and peace and quiet just a short stroll (or drive) from town. The tours that were organised for us were brilliant too. Fiji and Jerome were such great hosts - Merci!

A bit far from town to walk, but perfect by mountain bike. There was also no daily cleaning service.

Beautiful bungalows and grounds, with stunning views of the sea amidst flowering tropical plants. Lots of care and attention have gone into the design of each bungalow, which the owner Jerome oversaw himself. He upgraded me to the premium bungalow which has an amazing outdoor shower that I just loved. The area is quiet and relaxing and the perfect place to unwind. I borrowed a mountain bike which was the perfect way to get into town (and to explore the southern part of the island) if you're an active type. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride each morning and evening. It would be a bit far to walk in my opinion, though. Kitchen is fully functional and I recommend stocking up on some food and drinks your first day. Cost is high, but prices are elevated across the island. Thanks for a lovely stay Jerome!

I loved the lush greenery surrounding our cabana and patio. It felt both private and connected. It was nice to have kitchen facilities. Fidji, our hostess, was friendly, thoughtful and kind.

Stayed in March 2023

We were surprised that they did not clean the cabanas during our stay for one week, I presume because they offer full privacy and won’t enter the cabanas unless delivering breakfast.

Beautiful private location, clean modern cabanas, helpful kind staff spoke English and Spanish, delicious breakfasts, great Wi-Fi

Stayed in February 2023

No A/C, which I could live without due to the temperature and breeze. Would love to have had access to a fan, but with solar power, it wouldn't be able to be used for long.

The bungalow was very comfortable and clean.

We stayed 7 days in the Kona Koa lodge and loved the place. The bungalows are nicely designed, very comfy and the garden is beautiful. We enjoyed the breakfasts on the high table, the afternoon on the terrace and the clear stars at night. We did not mind it was outside of Hanga Road, rather the opposite. The recommended German guide was excellent. The Family tried to make everything possible. Highly recommended.

You need to bring food or snacks because you will not want to leave to get food. :-)
