I stayed at the Kontiki Resort and visited Mood Beach for dinner one night. The food was good but the portions were quite small. Despite this, the beach club itself was nice and I thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance.

Beautiful day at the beach. Enjoy lounge chairs in the shade for $16 each for the day. A large menu offers many food choices. Service may be very slow but with patience every thing is good.

The food and service was excellent. It’s recommended that you make a reservation but during the week did not seem overcrowded. The sushi salmon and black tiger come highly recommended from the staff. This restaurant is worth a try for aesthetics, mood, and good food.

One of the best dinners I’ve ever had. From the atmosphere, to the service, to the food and drink. Perfection. Cocktails were sublime, especially the Royal gin and Pornstar martini. The Wellington was amazing. They also gave some free appetizers which was an added treat!

A decent place to have lunch by the beach. Service was definitely on island time but we were on vacation so it didn’t matter much. Beautiful atmosphere right by the water, in the shade made it well worth it.

Amazing experience and fantastic customer service
It has taken me a while to get around to writing this review, but I felt it was important to share our experience because the customer service we received from Dolphin Academy was nothing short of exemplary.
We booked the dolphin swim experience for our family of four — two adults and two children, aged 12 and 9. We were visiting Curaçao as part of a cruise, so we had booked almost a year in advance for the one day our ship was due to be in port. It was something we had all been looking forward to and was expected to be one of the highlights of our holiday.
Then, two days before our visit, disaster struck. We received a letter in our cabin advising us that the ports on our itinerary had been swapped around. This meant we would now be in Curaçao on a Monday — a day Dolphin Academy is normally closed. Our hearts sank.
With very limited internet access on the ship, I managed to send a late-night email explaining the situation, but I had very little expectation that anything could be done. However, the next morning I received a reply asking me to give them a little time to see what they could arrange. After several WhatsApp messages, they somehow managed to reschedule us for their closed Monday, along with another group from our ship.
I was genuinely amazed and incredibly grateful. They even arranged for a photographer to come in especially for us.
The experience itself was absolutely amazing and felt incredibly personal. There were only eight guests in the entire park. Although the rest of the facility was closed, we fully expected that and were simply grateful that they had made the experience possible at all.
I cannot recommend Dolphin Academy highly enough. The staff went far above and beyond to help us, and they truly deserve the highest praise. This was outstanding customer service and an unforgettable experience for our family.
