Staying at this all-inclusive Rapa Nui establishment offered a mix of positives and drawbacks. While the rooms were basic with no internet or TV and had some issues like an unvented toilet and dated furniture, the ocean-facing windows provided a nice touch. The service, on the other hand, exceeded expectations, with the Explora staff going above and beyond, offering quality food and well-planned excursions. The location, though a bit rural outside of town, provided a relaxing and scenic environment ideal for unwinding between hikes. The dining experience, while requiring a return to the hotel for meals, particularly stood out for the quality of the food, especially the eggs Benedict.
