Our trip to Costa Rica was wonderfully amazing. Huge credit to all the team at KimKim and Serendipity! We have already recommended many times.

We started off with amazing personal service on arrival, outstanding bookings in Cloud Forest at Savegre Resort where the room had a private enclosed balcony with jacuzzi tub and views of the river. They also had a special anniversary table and dinner for us, that we did not know KimKim had even set up. Beautiful and very thoughtful.
Bird watching was great with local guide and we managed to see the bashful quetzales. Horseback tour was a wonderful outing through river and up into hills. Our planned coffee tour was great and gave us unique perspectives into local growing cooperative.
We moved on to the Pacific coast and Uvita where we had another amazing balcony room at Cristal Ballena overlooking the ocean. With monkeys and toucans out our window it was a wonderfully natural landscape. Plus the afternoon in the pool was so relaxing and the staff took amazing care of us.
Our whaling tour actually saw humpback whales and dolphins so that was a bonus.
Kimkim set up everything and Serendipity was right there to answer any questions in real time. The service was outstanding! We can’t say enough great things for all the assistance. So easy to work with and everything came through even better than expected.
Would HIGHLY recommend!

Arenal was one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. We loved our stay at Casa Luna Hotel & Spa, peaceful, lush, and welcoming. The Arenal Volcano short hike was wonderful, offering stunning views and a comfortable pace. The food throughout the region was excellent, and the organic cooking class was a standout: part farming lesson, part cultural immersion, and entirely memorable.
The boat ride across Arenal Lake to Monteverde was serene and scenic, and our stay at Sibū Boutique Hotel was modern, comfortable, and perfectly located. Although the Monteverde night hike didn’t reveal many animals, we still spotted a few rare creatures, and the guide made the experience worthwhile. The Bat Jungle was surprisingly unique and educational. Monteverde itself offered a very special mountain atmosphere, misty, quiet, and full of character.
Overall, the trip was beautifully planned, stress‑free, and full of meaningful experiences. We are grateful for the care and expertise that went into creating this itinerary.

Hotel Reviews
Sibū Boutique Hotel
Puntarenas

We had an amazing stay at Sibū Boutique Hotel. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind, the rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable, and the food was very good. The hotel has reliable WiFi and is conveniently located about 10 minutes from downtown Monteverde, making it easy to walk to restaurants, cafés, and souvenir shops. It’s a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and mountain charm. Highly recommended.

Casa Luna Hotel & Spa
La Fortuna

Our stay at Casa Luna Hotel & Spa was truly amazing. The food was fantastic, the rooms were comfortable, and the location is incredibly convenient, just minutes from the Sloth Territory, Arenal Volcano, and the region’s relaxing hot springs. The hotel is surrounded by natural habitat, and we loved waking up to the sounds of birds. We spotted toucans, colorful songbirds, and several other beautiful species right from the property. It added a peaceful, rainforest charm to our stay. The staff were very helpful throughout our visit. While there is no WiFi inside the rooms, strong WiFi is available in the common areas. The hotel’s restaurant deserves special praise, the food is truly out of this world, and the WiFi inside the restaurant is excellent. Breakfast is served there as well, making mornings easy and enjoyable. Overall, Casa Luna offers beautiful scenery, wonderful food, thoughtful service, and a perfect location for exploring Arenal. Highly recommend.

Thank you Olman and Graciela!

Everything was smooth and professional and really exceeded our expectations! It felt like we were there for two weeks because of all the really good activities. I have to admit that I did try to plan by myself at first but I would never have been able to plan a well balanced, worry free trip just by myself even with ample research.

The drivers and guides were amazing and knowledgeable and very kind and thoughtful. Thanks for everything!

We appreciate everything and we wish you all the best!

We saw some interesting birds on our birding walk but were pretty far away so photography was not optimal. We enjoyed our walk in the hanging gardens. It was raining in an am and in the afternoon it looked to stop so ventured out to La Fortuna waterfall. We’ve seen lots of waterfalls so we were so surprised about the amount of water in this one. We were awestruck. Phenomenal and we got the senior price discount. The hot springs were OK. More developed than we thought. We have been in natural hotsprings and developed hotsprings in the western US so not unique. Dinner was mediocre.
Manuel Antonio. The views from our hotel balcony was a highlight. Great choice. Our guide, Jeremy, in Manuel Antonio NP was the best. Amazing eyesight. Spotted so many animals for us. Impeccable English and so kind. I don’t think we would have seen anything by ourselves. After seeing forecasts of rain and more rain, none of our activities were impacted by rain.
The car was great and driving not too bad. A self guided trip planned by Yuliana at KimKim was special.
