We have been coming to the Kon Tiki for years. Every year the managers attitudes are worse but the prices keep going up! It starts with the managment, they are un-freindly with no hospitality or customer service skills. We feel like year after year that they could care less that we are the customer. This last time the boat docks were so crowded and not once did managment come out to ask if we needed help finding or locating a spot for the boat, it was so crowded someone should have been supervising the dock. Also we had two apartments we rented both had scorpions. Several of the scorpions were in the closets and the bathrooms. When we reported it to the manager the responce was "thats the Keys." No joke...we having been coming to the keys for 30 years and Kon Tiki has never been this bad. I gladly would pay 200.00 a night for a hotel worth that price (we paid more then that that to stay this year) but Kon Tiki is not worth it. Some one needs to remind them that people expect to pay less when they stay at a "mom and pop" operation, gouging eventually will catch up with you. Sadly after all these years we will not be returning to Kon Tiki again. There are other beautiful resorts like Kon Tiki that would love to have our business for less money and maybe they would be happy to see us!.

Returning home from a 4 day fishing trip to Islamorada was such a bummer! The best fishing spot on the East Coast has to be the waters surrounding Islamorada. My accomodations at the Kon Tiki Resort were just perfect. Not the Ritz, but very comfortable and clean and just what I was looking for. This was not my first stay at this resort and I will be back again. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The grounds are very well maintained and the staff is always helpful. We did have one or two minor problems in our room but when we reported them to the office they were fixed within the hour. Thank You Kon Tiki for another wonderful vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PS: Just love the fact that there are restaurants within walking distance, nice to have a few beers and be able to walk back to the hotel.

I just enjoyed my 25th straight year at the Kon Tiki Resort. My husband and his family have been going to the Kon Tiki for about 40 years. We have raised our family of 3 boys with summers at the Kon Tiki. There is no place better to chill out and relax. Very casual atmosphere. Great fishing. The pool was a nice addition about 10 years ago. The only negatives are that you pay for an apartment, but they charge you $15 per night for children over 10.

When I started at the Kon Tiki it was really rustic. It is much more modern now. Maybe by next year they will get wireless internet !
The management staff comes and goes. In the "old days' the staff felt like family.

My family and I have been vacationing at Kon Tiki Resort since 1996. I have been going there long enough to see a fair share of property and office managers come and go over the last 11yrs. Kon Tiki is now under new management and the changes are breath taking! The grounds are imaculant and landscaped beautifly. The staff is not only friendly but extremely caring and helpful. This is the 1st time in 11yrs. that I have seen the staff out and about talking with the guests. It made me feel like this is just what this small and personal resort needed, someone to care. I have truely enjoyed my visits to this inviting establishment.

Over the yrs. I have been able to talk with the cleaning staff at Kon Tiki. These are extremely hard working woman. At times cleaning more than 20 units a day. (I know I could not do it!!!) These are some of the most loving, and caring woman you will ever meet in your life! Next time you visit Kon Tiki, look for Kerrin (cleaning staff). You are sure to walk away smiling after a conversation with her.

Overall, the entire Kon Tiki staff is what helped make my vacation a wonderful experience. And I might add, I had my toddler daughter with me and was 8 1/2 months pregnant. Not many people or places could have made me happy at that point.... but Kon Tiki and the their staff did.
