Kontiki Beach

Our stay at Kontiki Beach was everything we hoped for. The room is faithful to the picture and descriptions. We stayed at a so called 'beach front luxery suite'. When using the luxery suite you gain access to the private beach where you are offered some water and big soft beds, sometimes some fruits. The service was great and the staff pays attention to the little details. When we had a complaint about the music coming from the beach, the staff was helpful in turning down the volume a bit and showed understanding. If you prefer to be in absolute quiet its advisable to book one of the rooms inside the park next to the lazy river, and not one of the luxery suites next to the beach. But nonetheless we had a great stay.(PS: unicorns on the pictures not included)

Honest opinion the room with the exception of the suite were a little dated. The newer suite are more modern, versus the cabin feel of the others. Overall they were clean and comfortable. The resort itself is an excellent location, walking distance to anything you made need or want. The beach is absolutely beautiful and the staff was AMAZING.

The Kontiki resort is a very nice property. It is spread out a lot of greenery makes the property a very serene location. The entertainment is very lively. Our breakfast was served in little small skillets, and served on a three tier tower. I had a problem with my bedding and the guest service manager. #Sihen made all things comfortable for me. And #Jonathan of guest service was awesome, carrying our luggage to the room I would like to those golf carts sitting in the garage put to good use so that guests and luggage could be carried closer to their rooms and not have to walk to your room through the property. That was a very big inconvenience and a thumbs down on that. Update bedding and get the golf carts running can improve this property.

I’m very satisfied with my vacation to KontikiI have traveled and been to over 10 islands and have never experienced such a tropical beautiful resort. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was amazing and cabana beach is very beautiful. I was able to get exercise every morning with a free pass to the nice gym. Very happy with my stay and highly recommend Kontiki for such a beautiful experienceThanks kontiki beach for such a amazing experience

This was one of the most chaotic and disappointing hotel experiences I’ve ever had. My mom, sister, and I quickly realized we needed to leave within 4-5 hours of arriving. The hotel’s 4.5-star rating is baffling to me.Our experience started poorly with my mom having to drag her suitcase across rocky pavement, and carrying her suitcase up the stairs with her bad back. My suitcase broke because of this, but they told me I could go in town and buy a new suitcase myself. The beach was overcrowded, dirty, and the staff were unfriendly. We couldn’t find clean seating and weren’t allowed to move chairs to sit together. The atmosphere was far from relaxing, with loud club music playing constantly.The photos online are misleading, making the place look more luxurious and private than it is. After voicing our concerns, the manager took over an hour to respond and eventually told us we wouldn’t get a refund for our 12-night stay.I recommend booking refundable rooms if you decide to stay here, but honestly, you’re likely to be disappointed. We found refuge at the Marriott, where the staff were friendly, the beach was clean, and the overall experience was a huge relief.Don’t let the photos deceive you; this place is far from what it appears online. I will go into more detail on TripAdvisor.

Emma Callaghan, room 4622, July 28-Aug 7I recently arrived at Kontiki Beach Resort and will be staying for 9 nights. I wanted to share my experience so far to help future visitors. Like many others, I read the reviews on TripAdvisor and was concerned about the numerous complaints. They mentioned rude staff, very dirty rooms, lack of air conditioning, cramped spaces, bad lighting for applying makeup(?), dirty saltwater lagoon pools, difficulty reserving beach chairs, towels only available at reception, and noise from beach parties on Wednesday and Saturday nights.Needless to say, I was very skeptical about coming to Kontiki Beach Resort. However, upon arrival, we were greeted with coconut drinks and some of the friendliest service I've ever experienced. Nish escorted us to our room, showing us the outlets and ensuring we had adapters to charge our devices for navigating the island with our rented vehicle.Cabana Beach is amazing, with crystal clear water and seven rows of cabana chairs, the first two rows of which are reserved for guests until 11 am. The rooms were impeccably clean, and the air conditioning was wonderfully cold, which was perfect for the 92-degree weather. We were imbedded in a tropical jungle with stone walkways and beautiful mahogony. We had plenty of towels, and while you do need to remember to get your towels at reception, that's a minor inconvenience.Regarding the complaints about makeup lighting and room to lay out the paint for your face: we're on holiday ...try the natural look (who you trying to impress).The room lighting was also noted as not appropriate for make up application....omg!Overall, I give Kontiki Beach Resort a 10+. We are so glad we didn't let the negative reviews deter us. This resort is a fantastic place to stay, and if you're coming to Curaçao, I highly recommend it. We also compared Kontiki to Hilton Rif (where we stayed for 2 nights) and want to add that the all-inclusive had nothing to offer EXCEPT Monday-Friday (8am-5pm) construction on the entire upper floor of the hotel which was unfinished, heard first thing in the morning then all day by the pool (just a heads up if thats a potential booking for your Curacoa trip)

My wife and I want to thank the staff for making our Honeymoon so memorable and our stay at the resort so personable.This was my wifes first visit and my third to the resort. Our room was clean, the view was amazing and the staff was always available and willing to help. The staff had even placed a heart, flowers and a card on our bed congratulating us in our marriage. So kind! We will be back!Thank you again!Sincerely,Dennis & Phyllis E.

This is a horrible resort and I am not sure how they have gotten such high reviews. Maybe the high reviews are from the new luxury suits which are completely separate from the original hotel rooms. However, the standard rooms are disgusting. They do not clean them. When we arrived in our room there was vomit in our bathroom and on the toilet that had not been clean, the shower was disgusting. Then we we called them to clean they came in with napkins and a spray bottle. You can tell the floors of the room are never swept or mopped. That night our room was infested with mosquitos. I understand a few because of the property type but this was not normal. The following night our bed was infested with ants. Then when we called the lobby no one was there from the hotel except security and they could not switch our room. Then when they did switch our room the following day they moved us to a room that room smelled like a sewer. So we just stayed in our friends room for the remainder of the trip and showered in our old room. Our bathroom shower water only stayed hot for literally 2 minutes, so we had to take cold showers for our entire stay. The bathroom door did not close. The showers don't have door so water gets all over the bathroom. They refused to refund us to go stay somewhere else after being on the phone with Expedia for hours. The beaches, cabana, and amenities are not clean and very dirty.They don't have beach towels on the beach you have to walk all the way to the lobby to get a towel, bring it to the beach, then bring them back to the lobby. Overall just a dirty hotel and I would never stay again. I will say the staff was extremely nice that was probably the only pro of this resort. This is not a relaxing spa like resort that it's marketed as. I would have never booked this.

Being welcomed after a long flight with a fresh coconut was a nice bonus! We stayed in one of the houses, lots of space, nice terrace by the pool, refrigerator is very nice. Service, lighting, privacy and access to the swimming pools and beach were very good. We barely noticed there were other guests (First 2 wks of July). It's very nice to get up and immediately take a dip. Or take a dip after a day at the beach - great! 😃We had a good night's sleep every night. So nothing to complain about. What is also a nice bonus is, beach towels, coffee and water were offered at no cost, 24/7.Would book it again and recommend it to everyone! It was Sun-sational!

This is such a beautiful and unique resort I had the pleasure of experiencing. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, they even greeted us with coconuts! We were a very close walk to the beach and had cabana beds that were reserved for hotel guests only. The salt water pools located around the resort were unreal! I had a great time and I recommend this resort to anyone planning on coming to curacao!
