Location was perfect, we loved being right on the beach. The breakfast was nice. The only thing we didn’t like about this hotel was how loud the music was at night with the night clubs and the pillows were also not the best.

Breakfast was good! The only thing is that they’re definitely on island time, so expect your food to take a little longer to come out (a good hour)The room was clean, although I couldn’t figure out how to control the air conditioning, so it did get a bit cold at night. Parking was free, which was a nice bonus!

The check-in and first night of my room situation were kind of stressful. But the staff went above and beyond to make everything right. The property was gorgeous and I loved everything about it. The food, the beaches, the pools and the vibes were worth it! I'd do it again!

First time at this property. Very diff vibe than other places. Very tropical and secluded. Love the stone pools and paths. Gym was off site, but very nice and only a 5 min walk. Beach was clean and nice place to snorkel for novices. All the staff were fantastic. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Will def stay here in the future.

The place is beautiful, it is like being in a piece of paradise. The facilities are very pretty and clean, with its lagoon-style pools and its vegetation making the place a very pleasant stay. The staff is super attentive, and the cleanliness in the rooms and in the hotel complex in general is very good. Our breakfast was included in the price we paid, and to be honest all the à la carte dishes were exquisite and very well prepared. highly recommended if you visit Curaçao. The hotel is very near to the capital and is located on Mambo Beach, a beach with great vibes and lots to do. Thank you Kontiki. Thank you Curaçao.

Staff is really nice! I wanted to love this place but unfortunately, where our room was, we were woken up everyday around 6AM to some kind of alarm going off for about 10 minutes on and off. We had shoe prints on the ceiling in the bathroom, and the tv barely worked. The beach beds did not have the QR codes as said so we waited for a long time for service. The food was- sadly .. not good in our opinion.

I stayed here for my birthday. My experience was pleasant. We booked the beach front suite with pool. perfect layout and access to beach. The staff members were helpful and nice. Free parking! I would def come back. The only downfall is not all inclusive. I would at least love the option of unlimited drinks. We paid well over 2k for our 4 days stay. Other than that no complaints.

This hotel with its mix of jungle vibes and a luxurious section is about the best in curacao. Kishon simply exemplified the spirit of customer service which has become so rare but note worthy in my travels and review of hotels/resorts for my YouTube channel Sonny’s travel adventure. The hotel is right on the beach(mambo beach is literally next door), very clean , with fresh cooked breakfast. The location is perfect for exploring the whole of the island with a rental car. There plenty of eating options. My only kind of complaint was asking for three days for my slow draining bathroom sink to be fixed but the General took care of it in minutes after he found out. I have traveled to 63 countries and this chill beautiful hotel is one of the best. I will definitely stay here again if I come back to curaçao.

Everybody was so accommodating. Smiles on everybody’s faces. Every staff remembered who you are. Staff was maintaining the grounds or cleaning rooms 24/7. Having access to two restaurants, 3 bars, and cabana beach was great. If you didn’t like those options, everything else was just a few hundred yards of a walk if that. Will definitely be staying again on my trip back.

The staff, rooms and grounds were great. I just wished they had restaurants on the resort that was open past 6pm. Also people are on vacation no one is trying to get kicked off the beach by 6 & then have to go find food since it’s not an all inclusive place. All rooms should get wash clothes not a boxed towelette. You need wash clothes to wash your face as well as your body.

Kontiki doesn’t have air conditioning in the main rooms. Hotel is under construction so there was banging and trucks making noise . They are having an issue with the sewage system so there was a terrible smell. Manager was not helpful at all. Cleaning staff and other workers were pleasant and friendly.
