“Ummmmm a difficult one!”

Kon-Tiki Club

10 Aug 2007
1/2 found this review helpful

This is a difficult one so i thought best sum it up with good points and bad points as follows:

GOOD: lovely hotel - very clean, well equiped, excellent location, plenty of sunloungers; nice food

BAD: no welcome pack on arrival so not informed of amenities, dinner times etc; hotel staff speak no english - even the simplest things like straw and butter could not be understood; food choice was very poor - i was all inclusive and expected a selection of starters, main and deserts but got no starters to choose from, a choice of pasta, beef, chicken or fish for main and tin fruit as the only choice for desert; no entertainment - not even a pathetic quiz or game of bingo; unfriendly staff - i never seen one crack a smile the whole time we were there!; bar shuts at 10pm - not a second after.

Looking at the above it appears that the bad points clearly outweigh the good. I think our main problem was being all inclusive as we found ourselves in a catch 22 situation, we either sat in silence staring into the bottom of a glass to drink what we had already paid for or we left the hotel in search of something more livier, making the holiday a very expensive one. My advice if you have to go to this hotel avoid the all inclusive option as you will only be disappointed. We relied on the toby jug for our evening entertainment which i would highly recommend for a bit of family fun, they also do a delicious roast.

“Great Hotel”

Kon-Tiki Club

17 Jul 2007
4/4 found this review helpful

Kon-tiki club hotel is great for a 2/3 star accomadation. The beach is just across the road, and the shops bars and nightlife is very close. The apartments are very clean, and most overlook the sea, rooms are fully equipped and the pool is great. It was being remodernised while we were there.
There is also sun loungers on the roof.
We stayed all inclusive, but not a good idea as you do not get what is stated. The restuarant and pool bar is not owned by the hotel, but by chinese people and you eat chinese food every night, but only a choice of 2/3 dishes. Theres not much selection of food in general and only soft drinks, local beers and wines are included. The poolbar should open at 11.00am but does not open till 1.00pm and closes at 8pm, so you can not get any drinks after this time. Also because the restuarant manager is only given a small amount of money to accomadate the all inclusive residents you are monitered by what you are drinking.
Overall a great holiday and i would return again but self catering as the rooms are fully equipped, and is perfect for the beach, bars, shops and nightlife.

“Brilliant Holiday”

6/6 found this review helpful

My holiday here was a couple of years ago but as there don't seem to be many reviews of these apartments online I hope my review may be of use to someone.

Me and my partner stayed at these apts for 2 weeks in September 04. We were pleasantly surprised on arrival to see that the apartments overlook the beach and that the main strip was just at the bottom of the hill. (No noise heard at night) Personally, I didnt find this hill much of a challenge but certainly not suitable for people with walking difficulties. Luckily, the entrance to our apartment was nearer to the bottom of the hill than some others.

Rooms - Im not a fan of high rise hotels so these apartment were ideal as they were over 2 floors and not overcrowded.
The rooms were very basic but clean and although our balcony was a reasonable size, we didnt have the best view.
The apartments overlooking the pool area are lovely.
The maid did a brilliant job and even washed any pots.
The main problem was the fact that at the time of our visit (may have changed since) the apts did not have fans and were not air conditioned. The heat at night was almost unbearable and me and my partner spent 13 of our 14 nights sleeping on the narrow sofa's with a fan that we had to buy from a shop. This was a major negative. Therefore, not that impressed with rooms.

The pool area is gorgeous with a massive roof terrace overlooking the beach. This was definitely a major plus for the hotel.

Food - The strip seemed to go on forever. There were many bars, restaurants, arcades and shops. We ate at the New World Chinese on our first night which was a bad mistake. I read a review that recommended this place but the food was terrible and my stomach didnt agree with my meal that night.
I highly recommend taking a 10-15 min stroll to the Old town (shopping mall on way here too ) to pay a visit to La Cascada Puerto by the habour. The food was excellent. Make note that this restaurant is hugely popular and expect to que to get into the restaurant after 7.30pm. As it is so popular, all the tables are crammed together so maybe not the most romantic of places but the food was fantastic.
You must also visit 'The Place' which is about a 20 minute walk from the apartments. Do a left at the bottom of cardiac hill and when you come to Golden Corner on the right of the strip turn right. There is a small sign. This was the best steak I had on holiday. Just a shame we only found it on our last night. It is down a passage to the beach so easily missed.
We ate once in the Kon Tiki restaurant and had a lovely meal. We were all alone in the restaurant.

Note that you will be pestered none stop by PR's. Just say no thankyou and carry on otherwise you will end up with pockets full of flyers. And beware of the "buy one get one free" offers. The cost of the 1 drink would cover the cost of 2 at home so not really getting one free.

Excursions - The aquapark was a good day out. Lots of fun but quite pricey.
We also went on the submarine. Pricey considering we were only on it for 40minutes but a good experience.

I rate this accommodation based on service, pool area and location. If the rooms were air conditioned, the apts would have been worthy of a Excellent (5) review.
