The grounds were beautiful and the location was nice. The staff was really nice. So this made my stay overall good. I booked one of their older rooms (the one with all the wood paneling) because the upgraded ones weren't available for my time frame. The room had two twin beds pushed together but they constantly seperated. We didnt get a full blanket. They gave us two twin blankets. So imagine a couple trying to cover up together at night. We asked for a full blanket and never got it. So i assume they dont have any. The floors were dusty and there was an awful smell in the bathroom, possibly their sewage. But the smell came from the drains and it would stink up the room. The shower had no door and was small so having a shower would went up most of the floor in the bathroom which had us asking for multiple towels daily. And they only provide you two when the clean the room. And they didnt change the hand towels daily unless it looked used. Dont expect real washcloths. They staff and location made the stay better. The accommodations itself not so great, if its the older rooms.

We chose the Kontiki Curaçao Beach Resort for a very special occasion — New Year’s Eve — because of its stunning location and the promise of a memorable experience. Unfortunately, the reality was deeply disappointing. During the booking process, we specifically asked about New Year’s Eve activities at the hotel. Instead of receiving clear information, we were repeatedly reassured and told to wait. Only after our arrival were we finally informed that no reservations were possible for just two people. By then, it was far too late to make proper alternative plans. What made this especially frustrating was the lack of responsibility taken by the hotel. Rather than offering solutions, we were simply sent a list of external links where we might possibly find something elsewhere on the island - including eye-rolling staff. Our dream of a beautiful New Year’s Eve in this resort completely fell apart. For a hotel in this price and quality category, we expected far better service, transparent communication during the booking process, and viable options for hotel guests — especially for such an important occasion. Sadly, this experience left us feeling let down and disappointed.
