The trip was absolutely amazing! The Almond Beach Resort's beachfront cottages were as advertised--large rooms with doors that opened up to the ocean, friendly staff, and great service. Aldean was a perfect guide for us on the Mayan Ruins and Snorkeling excursions. He was friendly, informative, and made the experiences memorable.

I have to give Alex and Lilia a huge amount of credit for organizing and preparing this trip--they were attentive to our requests and maintained a regular dialogue throughout the process. When we got off the plane into Belize City, Lilia met us outside and told me that there were refreshments in the van for our 1.5 hour drive to Hopkins--this just made us all smile! We loved driving with Camron who used the trips to engage us and tell us about Belize.

I have used KimKim before and based on this trip, will keep going back!

Very attentive staff and wonderful accommodations. The Beachfront Cottages are nothing short of perfect--opening doors to the Ocean and hearing the waves each day was perfect. The Paddle House and nearby restaurants provide incredible local eating options.

This is one of those things you need to do when you go to Belize. The diversity of the fish, the boat ride out to the diving spots, and the overall trip was simply perfect. We kept saying "Did you see that!?" Our guide, Jeffrey, was awesome in showing us different wildlife and guiding us in the water.

The ruins are an amazing part of Central American history and the ability to visit Xunantunich was perfect. The 2 hour trip from Hopkins was led by Aldean, who provided insights and education along the way. Aldean engaged us in the history of the Mayan people, explained the significance of the ruins, and was great to meet on the trip.
