Kontiki Beach Resort Curaçao

I came to celebrate my birthday for along weekend with 2 friends. Property is beautiful and rooms are nice (except for the bathroom issue noted). There were some mishaps relevant to plans my friend made to surprise me for my birthday. I will say the management worked very hard to address the issues that my friend brought to their attention, the staff was SUPER friendly and kind. I really liked them alot. The property is BEAUTIFUL. Truly and the beach is really close. If you like to party the location is perfect and its centrally located to lots of activities and action. The beach is BEAUTIFUL I mean truly beautiful. The massage I had on the beach was FANTASTIC. Definitely do that while you are there.

The breakfast buffet shut down at 10 am so we felt very rushed to get breakfast. The staff at breakfast was wonderful but they should probably extend breakfast to 10:30 am or 11 am especially on the weekend.There was a smell, pretty horrible, emanating from our bathroom throughout our stay. The hotel staff tried to address it and they aired the room out and it helped some but it smelled like spoiled cabbage. We had to keep the bathroom door open for the entire stay and open the doors when we were in the room to get some relief from it. If we closed the door then the bathroom smelled pretty bad. So going into the bathroom was not a pleasant experience. There were some mishaps with the arrangements my friend made to celebrate my birthday but the hotel staff worked hard to make it right and I appreciated that. I also experienced a lot of miscommunication around my check out. The day staff should communicate better with the evening and overnight staff. Didn't love the iguana that took up residence at the pool and once he jumped in I didn't want to use the pool because they carry alot of bacteria. Overall I had a pretty mixed experience at this property.
