room was very nice. beach is very pretty. dining and bar service is terrible. no indoor dining options. routinely takes over and hour to get food. sitting at an empty bar with multiple bartenders would take 15 minutes before they acknowledge you’re even there. extremely loud music plays until after midnight making it impossible to sleep. the tv in the room is set to max brightness and is not able to be adjusted making it painful to watch with the lights off. VIP beach experience is bad,

I loved my stay at the Kontiki beach resort. Stayed on the non-luxury side and it was beautiful. The landscape, pathways and pools are beautiful, relaxing and private. My only warning to other guests would be that on certain nights of the week that you won’t really know about in advance, you can hear very loud music from the bars on the beach and it goes till about 12 AM to 1 AM. Older than that, this resort really is beautifully appointed… The beach area and restaurants are photo worthy

Beach was beautiful and the food was really good. Staff were very friendly. It did get loud at night on the weekend but it didn’t bother me too much. The AC in the room however didn’t work that well. Some nights were hotter than others but I dealt with it. Overall great experience would definitely recommend to others to visit
