The property is beautiful! The room was perfect and always clean when we returned from a day on the beach. It’s located on Mambo Beach so there are plenty of walkable dining options. The snorkeling was pretty good in front of the property due to the boulders they placed to create what looks like a huge swimming pool in the ocean. We are definitely going back!

Room was a liitle outdated, dark and not fully sealed from the outside elements. We had to kill crawling bugs almost daily. No iron in the room and the dark wood stain coupled with dim lighting and room darkening curtains made for a cave like experience. When the curtains were opened, anyone at the pool can see directly into your room so….you call it. Staff was nice and the location is nice and central to all the hot spots. If you use a real washcloth, bring your own, they don't have them. I had to cut a hand towel in four just to wash my ssa. Also, our “king” bed was two twins pushed together which still had the crack in the middle which didn’t make for good “couples time” or even regular sleeping if you know what I mean. It was kinda weird. All in all, I probably would try another resort on my next visit to the island. Kontiki was not that bad though. They just have some adjustments to make.
