What a magical trip - all thanks to Adam, his team (Lea, etc) and KIM KIM! They were amazing to work with! They kept in constant communication prior, during and after the trip. We chatted by phone regarding the itinerary prior to departure. We had 2 late adds - and they coordinated adding them to our itinerary. Then my stepdaughter missed her flight and Adam/team helped secure her a late night ride to the hotel. The hotels (Nayara and Hotel Aguas Claras) were amazing! We will never forget them. The activities Kim Kim picked were spot on. Zip Lining, Horseback riding, hot springs, hikes, etc. They also arrange all the transportation.
We plan to use Kim Kim for our next trip!

Thank you so much! Trips like this are exactly why we do what we do. 🙌 😊 I remember first chatting with you during the planning process and how you wanted to have a memorable trip, and I'm glad it was a blast! The last-minute adds, the missed flight, the late-night ride, honestly, that's when it matters most to have someone in your corner, and I'm so glad we could take that stress off your plate. I'll make sure Ale, Kate, Lea, and the rest of the team see this too. Nayara and Aguas Claras... Read more

Nayara and Aguas Claras are two of our favorites, and so happy they lived up to the hype. 💯

I hope to see you on a future kimkim trip! :)
