We stayed in the luxury sea view suites (room 105) and it was everything I wanted and more. The room, staff and beaches were perfect. Within walking distance is several restaurants. They reserve beach beds for you right in front. We loved the pool in our room! The staff were amazing. The breakfast was filling and fresh to order. So happy with this stay and would stay again. 10/10. I wouldn’t consider this negative - more of an FYI - you will hear beach parties since you are so close to the water. There was one Sunday night and Wednesday night - the music didn’t bother us at all, but something to note.

I should preface this review by saying that I’m relatively easy to please, but this stay left something to be desired. The room was wonderful, immaculate, and everything that the pictures show, but the service left something to be desired. The staff just aren’t attentive and that’s coming from someone who typically doesn’t make a lot of requests while on vacation. I was ignored at a restaurant, told to schedule a taxi via text message that never came, and asked to share my private VIP airport transfer with a stranger for a $70 refund which didn’t even amount to half the price of the service. The beach clubs have parties every other night so if you don’t like loud music or party vibes until at least midnight this resort isn’t for you. This really didn’t bother me much but beware. The availability of food is good but the quality can be hit or miss. All in all, I don’t think I would come back.

Loved the location! Walk to Mambo Beach, the entertainment district. Shopping, food, music, beaches all 5 min. away. On-site Cabana Beach was a delight and Mood Marina restaurant was the best. My suite was excellent with its plunge pool and patio. Nice for adults with no children and solo travelers. Guests services took care of all my needs. Highly recommend Kontiki Beach Resort to everyone. But be forewarned, this resort caters to younger families, parents traveling with babes in arms. Crying babies in resort resturants, at beach, and the beach spa was disturbing at times.

The property and location was very good however the staff can be a bit clueless about certain things especially if you do not speak Dutch. We were sent to a restaurant that was already closed by the time we get there plus when we asked for a late check out we were never informed that there is a fee to do so. They made it sound like it’s complimentary but they later charged us per hour which wasn’t disclosed to us when we requested it. This is just not right way of doing business.
