Everything was just as promised.. Of course no one could predict the heat wave that happened, but I was very pleased that there were no problems with any of the reservations or tickets that Kimkim arranged. Everything went as smoothly as one would expect. The instructions given were very thorough and clear. I felt that the money was very well spent and we got exactly what we asked for. I really appreciate that they listened to every need and desire we had, and they stayed within our budget.I will definitely use Kimkim again and I have recommended them to many people.

Beautiful and clean. A/C was so good! The pool is gorgeous and they are very friendly. I loved their breakfast. The only negative is that the restaurant was a bit disappointing. For the cost, I expected better. The food was either bland or over-salted. The breakfast was great, but the disappointing aspect was lunch and dinner. We sought those meals elsewhere.

Hotel Villa Adriana
Monterosso al Mare

Wonderful space with a perfect location. My only issue was that we were on the very top floor, I think because we needed a larger room, and the windows in this space are tiny and high up. For such a stunning location, I really would have preferred to be able to see the view from this hotel as it was raised up over the street level. Unfortunately we could barely see glimpses of the faraway hillsides and it felt dark.

It got the job done and we needed the location. It was fine for a night. It was trying to be very minimalist, but unfortunately it tipped over the line of actually being lacking. Usually hotels have some information in the room about how to change the temp, how to reach the front desk by phone (there was no phone), and available food and services. This had nothing. Not a QR code, no paper info, nothing. The gentleman who checked us in was abrupt and was being overtly rude to his co-worker. The food at the restaurant was OK, but certainly overpriced for what it was and the cafeteria style of service.

We booked this ourselves through Viator. This was not a Kimkim service and they had nothing to do with this reservation. That being said, this was supposed to be breakfast tour and promised less crowded viewing and it was anything but that. Full crowds and chaos. I would not book this again.

Our personal guide was so knowledgeable and kind. There was a heat wave going on and she was so considerate in trying to help us stay comfortable. She was wonderful.

This was great, although it was much longer than we had expected. We weren't done until about 9:45pm. We were exhausted and feeling quite done with the whole thing by the end.
