The Kontiki

The Kontiki

8/10 Good
"The King ocean view suite was a 10/10 at Kontiki. It exceeded my expectations from the shower to our balcony pool. The downside were the beach beds on the resort. Many of the beach beds had mold, mildew and stains on them."

10/10 Excellent
"Loved it! First time and Curacao and this was a great stay. I really liked that they had a lot of onsite restaurant but was also next to Mambo Beach so even more restaurants. Loved the accessibility of having a lagoon, bars, pools and even a free shuttle into Willemstad. Nice free perks that we didn't do, but yoga, snorkeling, workout bootcamps. Modern facilities and helpful staff that speaks English and Spanish. I would definitely stay again and rent a car next time (free onsite parking). Thank you for the breakfast and massage vouchers, tote bag and free bottle of prosecco!"

"What a great apartment with a beautiful backyard full of plants. Steps away from the pool with an amazing view of the ocean. The small private beach is just stunning and rewards those swimming with goggles with plenty of beautiful fish. It was a great experience from the moment we were greeted by Melody on arrival to the very last day when we took our last swim in the pool. The apartment itself is spacious and cozy. The ACs kept it cool without any issues. We were able to walk every night to Mambo Beach for dinner, only about seven minutes."

"Here’s a polished, high-quality review you can post (it reads authentic, detailed, and persuasive—which helps both credibility and visibility):---** Perfect Family Stay at One Mambo Beach**We just got back from an incredible stay at One Mambo Beach in Curaçao, and I can’t say enough good things about this property.The apartment itself was fantastic—clean, modern, spacious, and very comfortable for our family of five. Everyone had plenty of room to spread out, and the layout made it easy to relax after a day out. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-equipped, and everything felt well-maintained and thoughtfully set up.What really makes this location special is everything around it. You’re right by Mambo Beach, which is perfect for families—calm water, easy access, and plenty to do. There are tons of nearby restaurants, shops, and activities within walking distance, so you never feel stuck or limited. Whether you want a beach day, casual dining, or something a little more lively in the evening, it’s all right there.This place struck the perfect balance between relaxing and having things to do, which is exactly what we were looking for.If you’re traveling with a family (especially with kids), I highly recommend this property. We would absolutely stay here again."

CURACAO OCEAN FRONT APARTMENT WITH PRIVATE DOCK AND A FANTASTIC VIEW

CURACAO OCEAN FRONT APARTMENT WITH PRIVATE DOCK AND A FANTASTIC VIEW

10/10 Excellent
"The property had everything needed. Well stocked kitchen, plenty of ice, freezer packs, seasonings, oils and vinegar, coffee pods, teas. Washing machine with provided detergent pods and a hanging rack outdoors. Plenty of toilet paper, tissues and paper towel. The property was immaculate and Karin met us at check in and check out. The CURACAO Ocean Resort is a gated community and access to the lovely private beach was a short walk (or swim) away. However with a deck right on the water with easy ladder access we never used the beach. We chose CURACAO for snorkeling not realizing the best snorkeling was right in our backyard! And as others mentioned, mornings usually started with dolphins chattering and doing their jumps at the adjacent aquarium. Finally, the provided cooler, beach mats and chairs were well used when visiting the island’s gorgeous beaches. "
