We couldn't be happier with the planning and execution of our family's Costa Rica trip by Adam and the rest of the team. We let him know the areas we wanted to visit and the activities we were interested in, and he did all the rest. All of the activities, hotels, drivers and suggestions were absolutely top notch (especially our last hotel room with a corner, panoramic ocean view - amazing!) We loved working with Adam, he was so responsive, knowledgeable and very patient with us! I was also very impressed by the communication leading up to and throughout the trip to make sure we felt prepared and comfortable - they really went beyond my expectations! (Plus the app with the itinerary and details in it was SO helpful to have each day!) We have already recommended KimKim others, and will 100% use them again for future trips!

Hotel Reviews
Hotel & Spa Poco a Poco
Monteverde

This is a beautiful, chic hotel which perfectly accommodated my family of four. We loved all the outdoor seating options to enjoy the beautiful scenery and have a drink or a snack, and the pool was much bigger than we thought it would be from the pictures. The breakfast buffet was a highlight of our whole trip! The hotel is also in a great location to walk to restaurants and shops. Highly recommend!

Hotel La Mariposa
Manuel Antonio

This is a beautiful hotel with the most gorgeous views of the ocean! Our room was large, bright, comfortable for my family of 4, and had the best views we've ever had. The pools were perfect, and one day we saw several monkeys hanging out down there. The front desk was very helpful with reservations and taxis, and whatever else we needed. Highly recommend!

The TreeTram, Hanging Bridges & Zipline Adventure was a highlight for me. I really loved the hanging bridges, although my family found them a bit shaky, but that was unrelated to the tour itself. The ziplining was great and the staff were very helpful, making sure everyone felt comfortable.

Coffee, Chocolate & Sugar Cane Experience

The Coffee, Chocolate & Sugar Cane Experience was surprisingly enjoyable. I was the one who wanted to do the coffee tour, and my family expected it to be boring, but they ended up enjoying it more than they thought. The tour guide was great and gave very good explanations.

The Monteverde Cloud Forest Night Walk was cooler than I expected. I felt very safe as we were in a big group and the path was paved. The guide went slow, so we didn't cover much ground but saw a lot of interesting things in the small area we explored. It was a nice experience, and better than a previous night hike I did elsewhere.

Guided Visit to Nauyaca Waterfall

The Guided Visit to Nauyaca Waterfall was a good experience. We had a private tour in Manuel Antonio which was great because the guide pointed out many things and used a scope to show us wildlife. He also took pictures for us and gave them to us for free, which was a nice surprise compared to another tour where photographers charged for pictures.

Manuel Antonio National Park Nature Hike

The Manuel Antonio National Park Nature Hike was enjoyable. Although the park was much more crowded than it was twenty years ago, we still got to see a lot of cool wildlife and nature. Having a private guide made the experience better as he was very knowledgeable and helpful.

This is so great to read, thank you! 🤩

Working with your family was so fun , and I'm so glad everything came together the way you hoped.

That corner ocean view room is something else, isn't it? So happy that was the perfect ending to the trip. And hearing that the communication and app made everything feel smooth and stress-free is exactly what we're going for.

We really appreciate you already spreading the word that means so much to us. Can't wait to plan the next adventure with you! 🎉
