This was our first trip to Costa Rica so having support from our KimKim travel planner was critical to choosing our adventure and not overstuffing out itinerary.

The activities were good given the limitations of what we wanted to do.

I dont think the price point was great. If I was planning this it would have certainly been cheaper but having a planner made the trip less stressful.

Hotel Review
Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only
Tamarindo

Rooms were older but comfortable and clean. The grounds were lovely and location great. Lodging includes breakfast and dinner. We were surprised by the quality of dinner. Every meal was delicious and high quality. The crispy salmon was amazing. Service was great. The beach area was also a nice respite to relax. We would definitely stay there again. The only challenge was if you have mobility issues this resort has a lot of stairs so be prepared for a lot of up and down.

I am especially glad you enjoyed Jardín del Edén in Tamarindo, from its great location and comfortable rooms to the wonderful dinner menu. It is also wonderful to know that all of your transportation providers were punctual and that you felt safe throughout your journey.

I truly appreciate your honest feedback regarding the price. Planning a trip independently can sometimes be less expensive, while working with a local travel planner provides the convenience of having the itinerary, reservations, transportation, and logistics coordinated for you, allowing you to enjoy the journey with less stress.

Thank you again for trusting us with your Costa Rica adventure. It was a pleasure working with you, and I hope you will return one day to discover even more of this beautiful country!

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!

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.

Wonderful unique place! Having a room at the top of the mountain was a challenge and mild inconvenience with kids, but the shuttle was fast and predictable. The highlight was the very warm hot springs pool/bar, and the water slides for the kids were a hit for hours. Close to La Fortuna for dinner, near the excursions, etc.

The kids activities were great and the little soccer field was a hit. More beach chairs would be helpful as well.

Staff was friendly and accommodating. Our air conditioner did not drop down to what I would consider cold, so we slept without a blanket. No big deal. Food was just ok, nothing to rave about. Had one issue with bar tender where he charged the gin and tonic separately.....After confirming with front desk that a gin and tonic is one drink and not two separate ones, they credited me back the difference. So no complaints. All and all it was a good hotel that was on the beach and a lovely staff. My only suggestion is that they get some more shade umbrellas around the pool lounge chairs. Shade from the sun is limited if you want to lounge around the pool.

Great hotel for families with old or young children, or couples. You can be social or private. This hotel caters to both. Its location is a true Costa Rican gem. Nestled at the base of the volcano, the views are amazing. It is just a short taxi ride to downtown Fortuna. The breakfast was a great mix of local cuisine with also tourist friendly options. My only negatrive comment was that that restaurant prices were slightly higher than i would like and the overall dinner was nothing extraoridinary.
