I had a great stay at this resort, Soooo much stuff to do as there is a beach strip right behind the resort. I seen a lot of reviews about bugs but the resort is sorta jungle themed so of course there’s bugs. I had one in my room which was like a beetle but other than that I had no issues with bugs. The tropical suits are not Luxury they are tropical themed suites exactly what they are meant to be so it really blows my mind at the negative reviews. If you want luxury book the other side! However the ambiance of the tropical side is amazing and I enjoyed my stay.

I want to begin by acknowledging Christy and Jonathan, who were truly wonderful. Their customer service, professionalism, and willingness to accommodate us were the best part of this stay. They were kind, attentive, and clearly tried to help as much as possible. Unfortunately, the hotel itself does not meet expectations, especially considering the luxury prices being charged. We initially booked a swim-up pool room, but upon arrival the room had a strong sewage odor and was clearly not suitable for guests. Staff immediately acknowledged the issue, and we were moved. After viewing two other rooms, we decided to upgrade to the penthouse in hopes of resolving the problems. While the penthouse offered a beautiful view, several issues followed. The lighting did not work properly, and maintenance was requested around 9:00 p.m. on Friday. No one arrived until the next morning, and the issue was not fully resolved. Shortly after, the electrical outlets stopped working as well. We left for the evening, and when we returned, nothing had been repaired. Instead, we were provided with long extension cords to power lights and devices throughout the penthouse, which is unacceptable for a space marketed as luxury. Although staff were consistently apologetic and friendly, there were no effective solutions or meaningful attempts to correct the ongoing issues. This is not a luxury hotel, despite charging luxury rates. While the staff deserves recognition, the property itself is poorly mainta

The luxury villas are stunning—5 stars for the rooms. Skip all the other options—they’re not worth it. But if you want to sleep before midnight, forget it. Wednesdays and Fridays mean massive parties, followed by loud guests wandering around. Customer service is useless when you raise issues. Food and location are great, but if you actually want rest, go elsewhere. Luxury Villas: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sleep: ⭐☆☆☆☆ Service: ⭐☆☆☆☆

The Kontiki was a very nice hotel. I really enjoyed my time there. My only cons is that it would be nice if they had a bit more nightly events, and better food options. Also, I stayed in one of the suites that came with the private pool with a sea view, unfortunately my view was not of the sea. It was more of bushes and trees. I feel if your marketing the room as a sea view, it needs to be in fact a sea view. I don’t think that people should pay an extra price for that particular price when their view is significantly limited/no view at all. My room was 6102.

We had to switch rooms when we arrived due to being right next to a construction site, that is the reason for my 4/5 stars. The concierge was very gracious and moved us to an immensely better room that was cleaner and closer to the beach entrance. My partner and I loved the close proximity to the beach, the food options within the kontiki continuum, the proximity to mambo beach and other local food options (especially berry the bliss for breakfast, check them out). The area around the hotel was a little run down / underdeveloped, as is a good amount of the island, but it didn’t cause any disturbance or inconvenience to our trip. Thank you so much to everyone at the concierge for helping us book our taxi services every night and round trip airport transfers. Thank you to housekeeping for maintaining our room everyday. Thank you to guest service staff for helping us with the coffee machine in the lobby and carrying our bags. Thank you Kontiki!
