Hotel Vai Moana

We loved the location. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. The rooms were a good size but the cleaning was lacking. The floors were so dirty we had to wear our shoes inside. The roosters are a major deterrent. They are crowing all the time and it was hard to sleep, even with earplugs. The staff was friendly in person but never in the lobby. They tell you to use what’s app but then didn’t answer most of our questions. The breakfast was very disappointing. It was a small amount of food and very limited options. If you didn’t get there early all the good stuff was gone. It was more of a snack than an actual breakfast as the options were very limited. It was an okay hotel but if we came back to the island we would find somewhere else to stay.

Hotel Vai Moana sits on a beautifully landscaped property with vibrant hibiscus flowers lining the walkways, creating a lush, tropical feel. However, while the setting is picturesque, the overall experience left much to be desired. The Good: • Scenic Property: The grounds are well-maintained, adding to the island’s natural beauty. • Convenient Location: Within walking distance (1-2 miles) of markets, restaurants, oceanfront views, and some Moai statues. • Quiet and Rustic: If you’re looking for a simple, no-frills stay immersed in nature, this might work for you. The Not-So-Good: • No Air Conditioning & Poor Ventilation: The rooms get very hot, even with windows open. No screens on windows or sliding doors, so leaving them open invites bugs. A small tabletop fan is provided, but it’s not enough. • Sparse Rooms & Amenities: Rooms are very basic, dimly lit, with no fridges and limited towels. Beds were okay but not particularly comfortable. • Limited WiFi: It only worked (sporadically) in the reception area. • Minimal Staff Presence: While we eventually saw one or two additional staff members helping with breakfast, there was little assistance otherwise. The main staff member we interacted with was courteous but inexperienced. Requests, like pool towels, took a while, and the ones we received looked like old, left-behind beach towels. • Pool & Bar Hours: The small pool is not well-maintained and closes at 7 PM—before sunset. The bar do

Staff were very friendly and helpful!

Really lovely site, lots of shady places to sit. WiFi is only available at reception though, and no data

Der var ikke rigtig wifi, ikke på værelset men ved baren og morgenmadstedet. Men man skal være opmærksom på kakerlakker både uden og inde i værelset. I sær på badeværelset om natten. En god ide er at lukke døren der ud til. Vi sagde det flere gange til dem men uden held. Samme når man sidder og spiser morgenmad. Det er ikke så lækkert. Men ellers er renlighed og høfligheden god.
