staff needs to improve on how they treat their guests. They seem to favor on group over the other. could be a hereditary factor. Ex i came to drop off the beach towels. i handed the front desk employee and he directed me to a box. Ok fine, couple of days later a couple did the same thing and they took the towels from them. small issue, perhaps. Another example, sitting down at mood beach club for brunch and my girlfriend came over to meet me and she was stopped by a staff.... little annoying stuffs which i think they can be coached to do better.

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.
