Beautiful Stay!!
Posted Apr 13, 2017Loved this hotel so much! My boyfriend and I had a great time. My only issue would be that there is only one restaurant, so food options are limited and food is expensive. The town is only a 10 minute bus ride away though! Take the local buses to get around, only $2 usd.

Overall very good. Would definitely stay there aga
Posted Mar 15, 2017
Pros: Absolutely everything!
Cons: Not much! I did a lot of snorkeling and did notice a tiny bit of trash on the bottom at about the 3 meter depth. But not much.
Location: Maybe a bit tough to find their sign in the middle of the night - I'd suggest better lighting or bigger letters. (we drove there at 2 am after landing
Excellent. Only issue was one night of very loud music coming from an adjoining beach area - not something they could control.
Their food is superb, staff extremely competent - especially: Naomi and Laura (Restaurant Servers), Merrill (Restaurant), Tim at the Bar (He's really very good!) and the two men (Kelvin and the other whose name I forgot) who seat people.
Office staff also very excellent as is their hospitality staff who take care of the rooms. Grounds staff must be superb because the grounds are perfect.

Amazing Grounds!
Posted Mar 13, 2017 on Orbitz
Pros: The rooms and the Grounds with lagoon pools were amazing. The food and service at the beach was great.
Cons: Front desk should be sure to provide airport transfers when confirmed and should only "hold" a deposit for incidentals.
We really loved this hotel and would definitely recommend it. The grounds and rooms are true to the photos. The beach was a little crowded; it's rather small for the number of guests but it doesn't matter too much. Being a full service beach all that matters is that you get a lounger, right? Rooms are spacious and the lagoon pools are beautiful. We went with the Full Service and received a beach bag full of goodies that you would find in a mini fridge. The public bus stop was right out front and would get you into town super cheap and fast. The food we ordered at the hotel was very good, except the buffet breakfast; if its not included, order a la carte. The staff at the beach & the restaurant were great & the bellboy was very nice. The front desk staff tried and they seemed nice, however, after confirming our airport pick-up no one showed up leaving us disoriented after two long flights. They did make up for it by covering the cost of our cab. The other thing we didn't care for was that, when we told them we would pay as we go for incidentals, they actually charged a $100 deposit on our credit card (not a hold) which they then never reimbursed even after confirming, once again, with the front desk when we checked out that we had incurred no charges and the amount would be refunded. I ended up having to email them when we got home and request the refund. While mostly well-meaning, I just think the frstaff lacked attention to detail. I would definitely stay here again, though!

Beautiful grounds and pools!
Posted Mar 11, 2017 on HotelsMy boyfriend and I spent 5 nights at Kontiki Beach Resort from 3/5 - 3/10. We really enjoyed our stay there! The staff was friendly & helpful. The grounds are very well-maintained, lush with vegetation, and the pools were really beautiful. Kontiki is up a very small hill from the beach clubs at Cabana Beach and Mood Beach. My boyfriend and I preferred lounging at Mood Beach Club because it was less crowded, newer, and just more relaxing. Lunch at Cabana Beach Club was good. Breakfast there was decent but pricey!! Our favorite dinner experience in Wilemstad was at the Madero Ocean Club on Mambo Beach Blvd right near Kontiki. The food was delicous!!
Only complaint about Kontiki Beach was that our room/bldg faced a street with a dog that barked most nights and on Wednesday night you could hear the loud music coming from the party at Cabana Beach Club well into the night. We managed to sleep but we would have preferred it a bit quieter. Although, we understand that some people go on vacation there to party, too.
One warning about Curacao- the taxis are *very* expensive! And, they don't take credit cards. Come prepared for that if you don't rent a car because you will either need US dollars or Netherlands Antilles Guilders to pay them. Our trip from the airport was $45. We thought that was pretty expensive given the short distance.
Other than that, Kontiki was great! We really enjoyed our stay there and would recommend it to other travelers looking to stay in Curacao.

Nice resort
Posted Mar 5, 2017It's a nice resort in a great location for activities. Quick walk down to Mood and Cabana beach, shops and restaurants at Mambo Blvd. Also an easy walk to Ocean Encounters Dive shop and the aquarium. Definitely where you want to be.

Amazing Hotel, Perfect Beach, Great Value!
Posted Feb 19, 2017
Pros: Great staff! Rooms were comfortable and clean with helpful amenities (rain shower and bathtub, mini fridge). Beautiful tropical foliage everywhere.
Location: Like being near Willemsted (<10 min) but not right downtown. Sea Aquaraium is very close where you can meet/swim/snorkel/scuba with dolphins! Amazing
We visited Kontiki for our belated honeymoon and it was everything we hoped for in our Caribbean experience! And for such a reasonable price - we were so impressed.
An essential highlight of Kontiki is its BEACH! Cabana Beach feels very private and secluded with perfect sand, great lounge chairs, calm waters, friendly service, relaxing music. and very good food/drinks. I'm not a big beach person myself, and even I couldn't help but relax and enjoy the luxurious experience. We had the breakfast buffet there most mornings, which is a good deal for $20 USD pp. Lunch snacks/pizza/dinner are also pretty good, but we preferred doing breakfast/early beach day at Kontiki/Cabana Beach, then exploring nearby restaurants for dinner (BijBlauw and the Boathouse were our favorites!).

Great secluded tropical getaway
Posted Feb 14, 2017 on HotelsThis is a great secluded hotel technically on the beach but no real beach front rooms. The rooms are more like 4 unit bungalows with two on each level. Great finishes and tropical feel. Winding paths around salt water pools, very nice!

Nice hotel, great value on the beach
Posted Feb 12, 2017The atmosphere was a tropical resort with a very nice beach. Staff were attentive and helpful regarding off site activities and restaurants. Close access to public transportation which we used to get into town. Two spectacular meal events called The Meat Market ( Sunday evening) and The Fish Market (Friday evening) where you pick out various kinds of meat to eat and the amount you wanted to eat and then they prepare them for your meal. We sampled a variety and the price was reasonable. Rooms were comfortable and attended to daily. Would easily recommend for adults.
