We absolutely loved our stay at Kontiki Beach Resort. The rooms are beautiful and our view was fantastic. We especially loved the little private plunge pool on the deck — it made the stay feel extra special. The beach area is very lively with great restaurants, beach clubs, and plenty of shopping nearby, so there is always something to do. Just be prepared for loud music on Wednesday nights due to the beach club events, but aside from that it was a wonderful stay and we would definitely come back.

Stayed in superior room, overall fine. Beds & pillows are worn out, TV was analog, Nespresso coffee maker in room & free in lobby. Beach, bars & activities were great. There is a free bus service daily at 9 am to the grocery store or it can be ordered for you. Use the resort App or WhatsApp for requests. The free wifi was ok. Bring bug spray !

I spent 5 days and 4 nights at the Kontiki. The grounds were breathtaking and I had an overall great time. Cleaning was hit and miss for me nd I don't think my floor was mopped and it showed. My toilet also wasn't the cleanest. That was my only concern. The front office staff was very hospitable. I would return but would stay in a suite.

The staff at The Kontiki was VERY helpful when we needed transportation to the different off-site locations and to the airport. They were very knowledgeable about the excursions, also. There was a bus to take to us and bring us back from the local market, free of charge. There is so much to do on this resort. There are restaurants, shops, entertainment. The scenery is BEAUTIBUL!!. we do plan to return in the future!

Beautiful room. Had a huge balcony overlooking one of the pools on property. It was nice to sit out there in the morning and evening! Beach was gorgeous! If I had a complaint it would be that some chairs were reserved for cruise passengers over hotel guests. They still had plenty for guests but the ones sectioned off were prime seats! We only went to our beach one day so it wasn’t a big deal! It is a party hotel, our room was far away from the party and didn’t really bother us! We would stay again!

The staff was warm and very friendly. We stayed in the tiki styled rooms which I found dated. The one problem I had was amenities, i.e., laundry facilities, if I’m going to spend a week at a beach resort, I would love to not have to pay $4 to wash the sand out of my bathing suits. They could also benefit from a partnership with a livery service. I don’t drive when I’m vacationing, especially in a foreign country. There’s no way to get away from the resort except very expensive cabs.

Wow is all I can say! I absolutely loved this hotel. I stayed in the Beachfront Suite and was completely obsessed. The room was stunning, and I couldn’t help but lounge in my private pool most days. Beyond the beauty of the space, the service was top-notch. Everyone at the hotel was incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive. They were also very responsive to all my requests via WhatsApp, which made everything so easy and convenient. Overall, I highly recommend staying here for a truly relaxing getaway.

The kontiki resort was absolutely amazing it was beautiful and the staff were so welcoming. Check in was very smooth and we were greeted with fresh coconuts, I have zero complaints about the kontiki resort. However my one and only complaint would be to not eat the ceviche at mood beach it got me absolutely sick and I was throwing up all night long every hour. The fish must have been old and I did not appreciate getting served that. Other than that the beaches were beautiful and easily accessible from The Kontiki.
