This trip was an adventure. Something different every day and the guides were fabulous. I could not tell you which activity was my favorite. Sometimes the days were too long and could have been made a little shorter by eliminating some of the village trips. However village trips like the one immersing the culture of Bali was wonderful. But trips where we watched someone make palm sugar and tempeh were not. The hotels were absolutely great and we wished that we could linger in them a little longer like the one in Jiwa Jawa. I know that this was an adventure trip but I wish that we had some time to explore local markets. I like to buy a souvenir to remember my trip.

Our driver, Odik, was just a delight. He was always early, which meant we were never running behind schedule. He answered our questions, and provided commentary from time to time, especially when the Guide wasn't with us. He was very alert to my desire to take a photo from inside the car and would stop or slow down as traffic permitted. And speaking of traffic, it's a little crazy navigating the roads. There were a few times when I closed my eyes because I thought something bad was about to happen, but it never did.

Our guide, Badi, was likewise very engaging and informative. He provided lots of great historical and background information on the places we visited. He dealt with our on-the-fly requests to find an ATM we could use, and to buy some liquor to take home with us.

All of our outings were much better than the descriptions. We were particularly happy with the cooking classes at Rumah Desa and Paon Bali were excellent! Well-organized, efficiently delivered, and informative. The Monkey Forest was a delight as well, getting to be up close and personal with the animals.

One tiny downside...it would have been helpful to have a level-of-effort rating on some of the walks. I was able to do pretty much everything, but my traveling companion had to forgo some of the walks, or sections of walks, because they were just a little too strenuous.

In the end, though, I will be happy to recommend Kimkim and our consultant, Marc Urban to anyone who asks!

Hotel Review
Tejaprana Resort & Spa
Bali

We felt like we sat down in the lap of luxury when we arrived at Tejaprana. Once you turn off the very busy street, you descend (literally) into an island paradise of quiet and green and luxury. Frankly, we were happy to spend all of our free time at the resort, partly because we'd been traveling for a long time, and partly because it's just so damn nice. Similarly, Aruna Restaurant is excellent! We ate our way through most of the Balinese offerings they had on the menu, sometimes more than once. Staff is very friendly and welcoming, from the top management to the people cleaning the resort.

Authenticity & Character
I can't speak to the authenticity of the establishment, since I've had little exposure to the culture. But the character was very much in line with what I expected.
Location
It was relatively central to all that we wanted to see. It took us a while to understand that you can't move very fast in Bali, particularly in congested areas. But all was great.
Staff
From top to bottom the staff was excellent! Pandi, the restaurant manager, was particularly helpful and welcoming.
Cleanliness & Comfort
When your hotel is in the middle of nature, as is Tejaprana, you can't expect it to look 100% pristine at all times. So there were times that there were leaves and other natural debris scattered about. But it wasn't in the least offensive. Cleanliness was top-notch.

It was absolutely fascinating to step into the world of a Balinese family, if only for part of a day. Our guide (I wish I could remember his name, but he was 6'5" tall, so very distinctive among Balinese men) did a great job introducing us to religious traditions and other aspects of daily life. I enjoyed learning about their 18-character alphabet, and getting a memento of my name written in Balinese. It was also interesting to see the amount of labor that goes in to producing coconut oil, coconut milk, and grated coconut.

Nope. Start to finish, it was excellent.

When I asked about making changes to the itinerary, Marc took the time to explain why it was originally planned the way it was, and I’m so glad we trusted his expertise and left everything as he designed it. The trip flowed perfectly, the accommodations were amazing, and we never had to worry about a single detail. We also got pretty lucky with the weather since it was rainy season in Indonesia, but much less crowds and I couldn’t imagine going when it’s crowded everywhere and humid!

We’re so grateful to Marc and Kimkim for creating a honeymoon we’ll never forget. We would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone planning a special trip.

Edi, our driver for most of the trip, was so welcoming and had the best energy. We looked forward to seeing his smiling face each morning when he picked us up. We only spent a few days in Lombok, but Fathur and his team (special shout out to J!) were very responsive and made us feel well taken care of. All of our hotels exceeded expectations especially in going above and beyond to make us feel extra special on our honeymoon. Budi was the perfect guide for our temple day in Ubud, he did a great job explaining things and even adjusted our original plans a bit to better fit the theme for the day (we ended up changing the Ubud Monkey Forest to a smaller less touristy one the next day instead which was VERY smart). We never once had to worry about figuring out what time to leave or how to figure out the details of getting tickets for different activities, one way or another it was taken care of for us. I cannot say enough things about Marc, the people of Bali/Lombok, and all of the wonderful guides and drivers along the way. I would 100% plan another trip with them if we wanted to create a custom itinerary.

The location was very close to the port and the area is very nice. We loved the views of the ocean and all of the pool options. The room was very nice, however we wished that there was more than just one mirror which happened to be outside. We also wished that at least the toilet was indoors (it was outside along with the shower, sink, and tub). We LOVED the private pool in the villa though, it was really nice being able to have that to ourselves. The spa on-site was also extremely nice. We got multiple treatments done and all were lovely. There was one night where there was a local wedding going on where the music was super loud until late at night and again at 5am, that wasn't the hotel's fault but we wished there was some noise ordinances in the area especially since that's where tourists are staying to relax.

This hotel is STUNNING. We loved the views, large rooms, private balcony, the infinitely pools up in the clouds are nothing short of magical. We loved all of the activities they have on the grounds including a tour of the coffee plantation, yoga, trying on authentic attire the locals wear to temples, and eating food which is mostly grown in their gardens. Everything was geared towards sustainability and supporting the local community. The cherry on top was the 4 grinds of coffee with the equipment to make it how you like in the room (French press, V60, espresso, Bali-style), the free afternoon tea which included local sweets, and the nightly treat with a scroll that had a story about the local culture. It became our favorite nightly routine to read our "bedtime story". The complimentary massage was also a huge bonus!

We loved the food/drink, they even gave us an entire cake for our honeymoon! The wifi was the fastest of any hotel we stayed at and we liked all of the small touches like the frangipani oil scenting our room and the bathtub filled with flowers when we arrived. They even have a shuttle that will take you anywhere in Sanur for free. We would highly recommend staying here.

The 2 waterfalls we saw were absolutely stunning. However, there were some parts of the tour we wished had gone smoother. First off, we didn't realize how unsafe the hike to the 2nd waterfall was going to be (slippery rocks, rocky pathways held together by rusty wire fencing with pieces of metal sticking upward, stairs with rusted away handrails, etc). I had on hiking sandals that worked for hiking down stairways to other waterfalls, but the metal wiring was poking into them as well as my husband's hiking water shoes that have holes in the bottom. We would have picked different shoes had we known. We had a guide in our car, however we had to use a local guide once we got to the waterfalls who didn't speak English. He walked away ahead of us and didn't show us where to step on the trail so we didn't know what rocks were sturdy/safe to walk on. We got the feeling that he didn't care much about making sure we were safe or having a good experience, and more like he just wanted to get the hike over with. After the waterfalls, we were excited to see the Sasak village especially since the village tour in Bali was so great. However, our guide from the car was the one who did the "tour" and it only lasted less than 10 minutes. He didn't tell us very much about it, and it felt more like we were intruding in someone's private life rather than having someone from there tell us about their village. Also, there was an aggressive dog that approached us and was barking/snarling. Our guide didn't do anything to direct us away from it. Again, it felt like he didn't really want to be there and just wanted to get it over with. It was a shame because the area was beautiful. Our driver was great though (and he ended up being our guide the next day for snorkeling, we wish he had been our guide on this day too)!

All accommodations/hotels were amazing. What great atmosphere, unique and beautiful. We did upgrade to the tree house at the first location. While the initial room booked would have been fine, the resort offered 50% discount for the larger room so we opted for that. For 3 people, I think the larger room is a better fit and would definitely recommend to future guests as well. The extra cost was worth it for views and space.

We absolutely loved the character of this hotel! Outdoor bath/shower and humidity was a little interesting, but also part of the experience. The butterfly room was incredible. Having 2 rooms for 3 people was nice for space, but also a little challenging for social time. We made it work and would recommend this location to others.

Hotel Reviews
Samanvaya Luxury Resort & Spa Sidemen
Bali

The staff were unfailingly friendly and helpful. Loved the setting and how private and well appointed the cabins were. Even at capacity the resort never felt crowded. There were multiple choices of restaurants and pools to enjoy, and the food was delicious! There were plenty of activities, both at the resort and available in the surrounding area.

Authenticity & Character
Lush surroundings and great views of mountains and rice paddies. There was always the sound of splashing fountains -- so soothing!
Location
Beautiful views, and just a short walk to the town of Sidemen.

The beds were wonderful and we appreciated that they sprayed the room each night for mosquitos in addition to the netting. It felt very safe.
Qunci Villas Hotel
Senggigi

Our room was very comfortable with plenty of space, and the outdoor shower was a nice bonus. We particularly liked the covered front porch that looked out on the beach. The view towards the islands was beautiful. There were 3 restaurant options with different types of cuisine, so we tried them all. Food was delicious! We enjoyed dinner on the beach more than once. I particularly enjoyed the cooking class and our daughter and son-in-law enjoyed the surfing lesson right in front of the resort.

Beautiful resort with private accomodations which included an outdoor kitchen/familyroom area and a lovely little pool. It was a good place for us to gather. Our room was very comfortable and the outdoor bathroom was a treat, once we got used to the idea. Even though we were in the city (but close to the beach) there was no traffic noise until we left the grounds. I had arguably the best massage of my life in the spa!

Cleanliness & Comfort
Rooms/beds were very comfortable! The cookies they provided in the sitting area were delicious!
