Our stay at this resort was truly exceptional. We booked the luxury beachfront suite, and it exceeded our expectations. The suite was clean, beautifully decorated, and offered effortless access to the beach just steps from our door. The staff were great, providing prompt assistance with food orders, fresh linens, and quick help when our key card had a minor issue. Their friendliness and professionalism made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway, and I would absolutely return. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, upscale beachside stay.

This was a wonderful place to stay. Even though on the first day we had ants in our bathroom and very low water pressure from the shower, the kontiki team resolved the situations and made our stay awesome! We loved the beach and being so close to mambo boulevard. The resort was in a perfect location and the pools were beautiful.

We had an amazing time at Kontiki. The room was clean and modern, the food was very good, the service could be a little faster but in all honesty, we are in the Caribbean, enjoy the layback atmosphere. Personally, we all lived the resort and will be returning with the entire family. They are amazing, and I suggest everyone visit the Kontiki...
