We absolutely loved our stay at Kontiki Beach Resort. The rooms are beautiful and our view was fantastic. We especially loved the little private plunge pool on the deck — it made the stay feel extra special. The beach area is very lively with great restaurants, beach clubs, and plenty of shopping nearby, so there is always something to do. Just be prepared for loud music on Wednesday nights due to the beach club events, but aside from that it was a wonderful stay and we would definitely come back.
The staff at
The Kontiki was VERY helpful when we needed transportation to the different off-site locations and to the airport. They were very knowledgeable about the excursions, also. There was a bus to take to us and bring us back from the local market, free of charge.
There is so much to do on this resort. There are restaurants, shops, entertainment. The scenery is BEAUTIBUL!!. we do plan to return in the future!
Beautiful room. Had a huge balcony overlooking one of the pools on property. It was nice to sit out there in the morning and evening! Beach was gorgeous! If I had a complaint it would be that some chairs were reserved for cruise passengers over hotel guests. They still had plenty for guests but the ones sectioned off were prime seats! We only went to our beach one day so it wasn’t a big deal! It is a party hotel, our room was far away from the party and didn’t really bother us! We would stay again!

The staff was warm and very friendly. We stayed in the tiki styled rooms which I found dated. The one problem I had was amenities, i.e., laundry facilities, if I’m going to spend a week at a beach resort, I would love to not have to pay $4 to wash the sand out of my bathing suits. They could also benefit from a partnership with a livery service. I don’t drive when I’m vacationing, especially in a foreign country. There’s no way to get away from the resort except very expensive cabs.
Clean and beautiful room. We had the Sea-view Suite with the private plunge pool. The housekeeping staff took great care of us. Everyone was very friendly
The kontiki resort was absolutely amazing it was beautiful and the staff were so welcoming. Check in was very smooth and we were greeted with fresh coconuts, I have zero complaints about the kontiki resort. However my one and only complaint would be to not eat the ceviche at mood beach it got me absolutely sick and I was throwing up all night long every hour. The fish must have been old and I did not appreciate getting served that. Other than that the beaches were beautiful and easily accessible from The Kontiki.
Loved my stay at the Kontiki! The workers were nice, very friendly. Private pools kept clean. The beach clubs and restaurants nearby are easy to navigate!
Parking was easy enough and not too far from the room. The staff was absolutely amazing, friendly, courteous and helpful with recommendations for doing things in the area. I highly recommend The Kontiki Beach Resort ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The resort was exactly as expected and more! Loved the vibe of our non-luxury suite, walking out to our outdoor patio for coffee, relaxing on a bed by the pool, so many beautiful plants, birds, and a beautiful iguana “Iggy” who loved sunning himself in the afternoon! The restaurants, bars, beach area and the little shop by the beach area were great! But the best part of our entire stay was the staff! Everyone and I mean everyone was kind, welcoming, engaged in conversations and were always hoping we were enjoying our stay. The front desk staff were always helpful, especially Mayron who went above and beyond to get my husbands cell phone back to him after we realized when we were at the airport that it was left behind! And the maid that cleaned our room every day, she was always bright and cheery and always did an excellent job!! We have traveled a great deal. Many resorts aim to please and are polite. But we could definitely say the people at the Kontiki were authentic and genuinely kind! We could not ask for a better place to stay and will definitely come back and recommend to others!!!! 💗💗💗

Easy parking, gorgeous pools and all the staff we interacted with were incredibly nice! Rooms are a bit rundown and the beds could definitely use an upgrade. Beautiful resort overall though and you can't beat the location for shopping, dining, entertainment and the stunning beach!
