Our stay at Kontiki Beach Resort was great. The room with direct access to the saltwater pool was fantastic and definitely a highlight. The atmosphere of the hotel, right next to Mambo Beach, created a really vibrant and enjoyable vibe. The only downside I would mention is that the towels could be improved, as they looked a bit worn out
