Our stay went really well. As a guest at Kontiki, we had access to two beaches, restaurants on the beach, easy access to the beautiful waters, etc. the only complain was a gecko got into our room and they quickly moved us…the issue was the other room was a little smelly/like sewage but everything else was superb and that actually wasn’t fully the fault of the hotel. I’d recommend and stay again.

The Mood restaurant was beautiful, loved the pools, iguanas, and the balcony! The location was great, being on a calm beach and next to Mambo Beach gave us a lot of options to eat. The massages were great! Just wish there was a little more privacy. The only “real”negative was the bathroom toilet smelled like sewage but when we opened the window it was fine.

Nice resort, nice beach and location but sadly if you're staying in a room close to the beach you won't be getting much sleep because of the different parties happening most days. We were not made aware of this or given any option.
