Customer ReviewsKirsten Koza (recommender) (9 / 10)reviewed 24/01/09 16:54
Kirsten Koza spent 2-4 weeks with Residencial Petero Atamu.  DescriptionI stayed at Petero Atamu and mountain biked around the 173-square-km island for 18 days, looking at the 886 Moai which cover the volcanic terrain. I explored the caves and swam at both Pea Beach and the exquisite Anakena beach. I enjoyed the local restaurants that are a short walk or 4$ cab ride from the residencial. I danced at the Banana Pub and socialized with the island's residents - I loved the unique culture and history on Rapa Nui - but I especially liked the locals.Best bits: The friendliness and generosity at Petero Atamu was a highlight. There are $200 per night hotels on Easter Island. This is $15 a night for one person. You don't get the quality of towels and linen that you would at a $200 per night establishment. But it was amazing for $15.
Worst bits: The Easter Island sun is brutal and relentless. Even though I wasn't there at the hottest time of year - I slept with my glass sliding doors wide open. Amusingly I awoke scratching one morning and discovered I wasn't alone in my bed - a scruffy little street dog had joined me at some point in the night. I enjoyed the worst bits!
