We stayed at Kon Tiki for a few days (May 5-8) while traveling in Costa Rica recently. Our stay could not have been better. The owners, Giovanna & Martin are amazing, incredibly warm people who make you feel like family. The vibe at Kon Tiki is very laid back and the tree-house style rooms are great. We stayed on the...

We stayed at Kontiki in March as part of a surf trip and family adventure. Our family of 4 includes two teenagers, so we had a room in the top of the treehouse. We traveled with friends, so there were 6 all together, in a few rooms. The cabinas were totally cool, with the top of the treehouse being a... More

We learned about Camille and Pascal's place from the owners of the also-excellent Mary's resto in nearby Playa Negra - otherwise it's too easy to pass by. They are absolutely wonderful people and the food is simply extraordinary in every sense: brilliant presentation, proper amount, unique and exceedingly lovely environment, and almost ridiculously inexpensive. It's such a remarkable experience that... More

I stayed nine nights here and wow! I wanted somewhere to spend the end of my central america trip where I could relax and do yoga nearby. It is crazy how easily the time passes here. Hammocks to read in, delicious french food and cuisine that hosts Camille and Pascal have learned working around the world (St Bart's, Senegal and... More

I have spent alot of time in Guanacaste, and I have to say that this spot is one of my all-time favorites. On top of good music and a beautiful setting, the quality of food and service for the price is unmatched! Pascal is a mad man in the kitchen, he seems to constantly whip up creative meals that always... More

A friend of mine recommended my Kontiki since he was a regular many many years ago. Kontiki is a pretty and confy place in the middle of rural Playa Negra, just seconds in front of the beach. Price is really really low, and the food is just amazing. The fresh peruvian ceviche is the best I've had, you can't leave... More

If they could ever fix the dirt road out front that kicks up dust, Kontiki would be a hands-down favorite. Camille and Pascal are a lovely French couple who set the friendly tone here and makes you feel a part of the family right away. The food is very good and the proximity to two great beaches is a major... More

We stayed in Kontiki for a week and had a great time. Delicious, healthy and varied food, excellent tips from Pascal and Camille about the places to see in the region, beautiful setting (the beach is just around the corner and you have it for yourself), perfect for observing monkeys and iguanas. The rooms are comfortable and you feel like... More
