Wonderful place to stay. Lots to do and eat within walking distance. The luxury suites are top notch. The beach club evening parties can get a little noisy late into the night. Overall a great place to stay.

Loved Kontiki. I was a solo traveler and I felt safe at the resort. I loved that it was not too far from the town. The staff was very friendly, guest services was quick to answer any questions I had. Loved that housekeeping came and cleaned the room. I did not worry about anything being missing or that I wouldn’t be safe. I knocked a star off because for some reason the bathroom only would smell like it has been used after cleaning. Not sure if proper cleaning supplies needed to clean the bathroom. Overall, I would definitely stay at the resort again.

Let me just say , the resort itself is nice with a fabulous beach view . However the regular rooms and beds along with food isn’t worth it. Me and my spouse booked a room with a king bed and they put two twin size beds together . The mattresses were very uncomfortable and beds were on wheels so they kept moving out of place, showers could’ve been cleaned better..there were mold visible and no shower curtains or anything to stop water from getting on floor ao you’d have to shower with water low as possible to avoid it overflowing and getting on floor, also theres no wash cloths to bathe with. We haven’t gotten hardly any sleep our whole trip due to how uncomfortable the mattresses were. Breakfast was nice but due to eating outside, it’s overwhelming with birds everywhere trying to take your food . Lunch and dinner wasn’t really good but the burgers there were ok . The drinks were watered down, I couldn’t get a buzz after having 3 drinks. Overall the vibe was nice and scenery was very nice but beds and basic rooms is the only reason I wouldn’t stay back at this resort. The staffs were very helpful, nice and welcoming.helped with taxi service

The property is beautiful and is well kept. Unlike other reviews I have read, the staff was attentive and friendly. It does take a while for service, but that is everywhere on the island. It is a relaxed atomsphere. I found if you were kind and friendly, then you will be treated the same. Our housekeeper had our room stocked. I cannot wait for our next trip back to Kontiki.

The place is amazing, quiet and safe. You feel at home. Lysandra is super informative and helped us getting a car and also she is friendly. The only down thing was getting the coffee machine but not getting water to add to the machine, and the fridge was dirty. We left with wanting to come back. And we will. Curacao is amazing!

The resort grounds and restaurants were beautiful and very well kept. It had such a relaxed vibe and lots of character all throughout the resort. We enjoyed our stay very much. The main issue that we had was that the room itself was not as clean and well kept as the rest of the resort. It seems to be lacking the deep cleaning that should be done in addition to the regular housekeeping. The floor in our room was vinyl and it felt dirty and gross. The floors need an upgrade. It would be much nicer if the room had tile or wood floors. I did not like walking on them in my bare feet. I can only speak for the room we stayed in. The newer luxury buildings may be much more clean. As for the restaurants, we preferred to eat right next door at the restaurants at Mambo Beach. The resort restaurants were overpriced. Also, the communication at the resort was lacking. The front desk wasn’t very helpful or engaged with guests. It would have helped if they had guest services or guest relations staff mingling with guests regularly.
