Gathering Clouds

This hotel is all-inclusive but executed correctly, with an eye on quality. The menu for the restaurant is kept short, but varied, and each dish is well prepared. The bar offers a changing juice or cocktail of the day, and the ingredients used throughout are excellent. The rooms and communal buildings are spacious and spotless. The personality of a hotel is determined by it's staff, and here they were numerous, ever-helpful and friendly. The excursions had us hiking up volcanoes, clambering through caves, and gamboling around the quarry - so bring plenty of clothes as you might get a bit messy if it rains. The staff advised us on the appropriate clothing for each, warned us about weather if required, were happy to adapt the tours to include guest requirements, and provided timely refreshments! So if you are going to Easter Island, then I would highly recommend this choice.
