Kimkim Trip Reviews

I would not ever stay here again. The hotel environment was depressing. They had no substantial list of activities planned so that we could select from a menu of their services. Truly bare bones. It felt like they were eager to get us out so that they could proceed with their end of season Brazilian nut harvest. We had high hopes but left very disappointed.

Excellent location. There’s a lot of street noise, which we encounter in many busy cities. It was great that everything was within walking distance.

Very cozy and comfortable. The only concern is that it’s not within safe walking distance to anything. Otherwise, very nice facility.

Perfectly located and within reach of a very lively area in Lima.

Love the architecture and the comfort of the place. The location was fantastic as a jumping off point for exploring Porto in every direction. Also loved having a very good wine store right across the street!

As a resort, Pine Cliffs is very kid friendly. So be prepared for lots of families. If you're into something quieter we'd suggest a different option. The staff was quite good. The on-sight restaurants are good, but pricey. Having the private beach was really the highlight for us.

Great staff and location. Nice blend of history with modern comforts.

The hotel was very good, clean, and the room was comfortable. The breakfast had a lot of variety, but I thought the quality could be better. The location was good, but if I go back to Hanoi, I will choose another area.

The hotel is beautiful, right on the sand, with a restaurant serving the beach and pool. There are three restaurants in the hotel, a games room, spa, and pool. Refreshments, coffee, and a small snack were available to guests in the lobby. The room was comfortable, and we received water every day. The facilities were very clean, and the hotel garden was very well maintained. The hotel was beautifully decorated and authentic. Breakfast was spectacular.

The hotel was comfortable, the staff very gentle and the breakfast delicious.

Foi uma experiência maravilhosa visitar o Delta do Mekong. Eu não acreditei quando vi os canudos com os nossos nomes gravados e achei sensacional. O guia foi fantástico e nos explicou muitas coisas durante o passeio.

I enjoyed visiting Hue. It was a long tour with a small group. I think if I had chosen a private tour, I would have had a better experience. I didn't like the place where they took us for lunch, as there was no menu option, and the service and food were not good. I thought that the route through Hai Van Pass and Lap An Lagoon - Lang Co beach would be attractions, but we just passed by these places. Anyway, it was interesting to visit Hue.

This was an amazing experience. The staff were helpful, charming, and trained for hospitality. You will have a great time if you love quietness and beautiful scenery, and the spa services are great, too. We would stay here again.

This was a challenging experience. The property was beautiful, but we had numerous problems with the hot water, air conditioning, and our room safe. We had to have a workman in every day to fiddle with the water and open our safe (when needed). Hot water would last maybe 2 minutes... We learned that several of the hotel's units had the same problem. The water heaters needed replacing. The workman even admitted this. In the first round of the trip, they moved us after 2 days. The new room had water problems as well, but the safe worked. It was better, but we learned we would be coming back to this other room for the last part of our vacation in Tulum. The hotel was booked up, and they had no options for us. They assured us they would fix the problems in the room, and they did not. We spent the last of our days in Mexico with this daily inconvience and they refused to help. We also noticed several units were empty around us. They wouldn't offer us any compensation and told our travel team at Kim Kim that they had when they hadn't. To lie like that is unsettling. Kim Kim Travel was nice enough to compensate us because they have character. The point of this review is to warn travellers about this place and its lack of empathy. There are so many great places in Tulum. Skip this one.

Awesome location.

The best.

Great.

Great.

Great hotel, clean and comfortable with a good range for breakfast. Across the road from the main plaza se be prepared for music/noise on Saturday and Sunday - this didn't go beyond 11pm though.

Our walk through this beautiful area was peaceful and soul fulfilling, made all the better by our informative and thoughtful guide, Emiliano. The view from the final mirador was spectacular. There was a traditional Argentinian plancha at the end - we are vegan, the chef (and owner) Agustin went out of his way to create something wonderful for us which was very much appreciated.

We went by car to the Venorum winery, an award winning boutique winery owned by the Altieri family, and were treated to a very informative tour followed by wine tasting (exceptional wines!). This was followed by a bike ride through vineyards and a small town to a delicious lunch at Terrazas de los Andes - another renowned winery with beautiful restaurant and surroundings.

This was a request from me, as a mountain lover, and I was not disappointed. We had views all the way of Aconcagua, at 6962m the highest peak in the Andes, South America, and the Americas. A not too strenuous hike as it is a long steady climb with not too much altitude change. Our guide Frederico was very knowledgeable. Lunch and snacks were provided and were much appreciated :)

Modern boutique hotel with very comfortable beds, great aircon (essential in BA), well equipped and roomy bathroom and all very clean. Nice options for breakfast and good coffee. Nicolas on the front desk was a treasure. My only point would be that the rooms are quite noisy and we could clearly hear people in the room above, and were woken several times by people returning to their rooms late.

Very comfortable and clean hotel with great breakfast options. We had a quiet room facing the side of the building (rooms facing the roads may not be so quiet) and found the rooms to be quite spacious. Bathroom was nice and roomy too. It was great to be able to adjust the heating to our taste (not always the case in hotels).

Mixed feelings on this trek - the view at the end was absolutely spectacular so well worth the effort, and the walk through varied landscapes to get there was also appreciated.

It was such a special experience to walk among the penguins, and learn about their lives. It was reassuring to hear how protected they are despite the tourism (their numbers are growing, a good sign) and our guide Pablo was perfectly strict about respecting them and their environment, which I really appreciated. A long boat trip there, for part of which we did see seals and cormorants, and a long bus trip back (great for a nap) but all worth it for the experience.

Laura was an excellent guide on this fascinating overview of the history, flora and fauna of the national park, which is truly beautiful. Personally would have preferred one long hike as opposed to driving between three shorter walks but this is a personal preference. My recommendation would be to ask for more details of the day before confirming (which is what I wish I had done)

The glacier itself is of course spectacular, and we appreciated being able to walk around and enjoy the numerous pathways at our own pace. The sounds of the glacier was also amazing surprise - did not expect it and when we could find a quieter section to sit and listen was quite humbling.

John made the tour. It was incredible how much he fit into the time slot. His knowledge is unsurpassed, and he is a delightful talker with many interesting and humorous stories to add color to the tour.

The size of the Beefeater tour was very large and difficult to hear the stories. We ended up going off on our own, and missing out on some of the colorful tales of the Beefeater.

Delianne was a delight with so many anecdotes she has gleaned from her full life. She is bubbly and a joy to be around.

Could have missed this. I would have preferred an informative river cruise that told us what we were seeing with some anecdotes. This was a very nice dinner cruise with music. Something you would do for an anniversary or birthday.

Lovely location, walking distance to many things!!

An epic closure for an epic trip! The tango night was amazing, as well as the food! This is one of the experiences we guarantee that we will repeat when we return to Argentina!

It was a group tour. Everyone was very nice, including the staff and the travelers we were sharing a table with. The food was INSANELY good!! Shout out to our hosts Cande and Julian from the Argentine Experience, as well as the chef!!

Agos was an amazing guide too! We went to amazing locations, not just phisical landmarks but also understanding the heart of the Buenos Aires culture :)

It was a chill ride around the city, the locations were amazing and our guide was great!

Wonderful views of the lake and mountains

Best view ever

The penguin stole the show. Well worth the long day.

Best tour hands down

Gugs Eco Lodge offered a meaningful eco lodge experience rooted in nature community and adventure. The accommodations were simple and functional, consistent with the eco focused nature of the lodge. While the rooms themselves were just okay in terms of comfort and amenities, they served their purpose for a rustic and intentional stay. The food at Gugs was a true highlight. Meals were consistently delicious fresh and nourishing, and our group genuinely looked forward to every meal. The quality and care put into the food stood out and added a lot to the overall experience. Our guide MP was excellent and played a big role in making this portion of the trip memorable. He was knowledgeable engaging and attentive, and the group really enjoyed learning from him throughout our excursions. The lodge manager was also very communicative and responsive, helping ensure things ran smoothly and that we felt supported during our stay. The excursions were a major highlight for our group. We were able to witness turtles laying eggs on the beach at night, which was an incredibly special and moving experience. We also enjoyed snorkeling and a boat ride, both of which were well organized and very well received by the group. These experiences brought the destination to life and were among the most talked about moments of this leg of the trip. Overall, Gugs delivered a strong eco lodge experience with outstanding food, meaningful excursions, and solid on the ground support. It is a great option for travelers who value nature based experiences and unique moments over luxury accommodations.

aha Kopanong Hotel was a comfortable and reliable starting point for our South Africa journey. The location worked well for our Johannesburg itinerary and transfers, and the check in process was smooth and efficient for a group arrival. Rooms were clean spacious and well appointed, providing a restful place to land after international travel. The staff were welcoming and professional, especially helpful with group coordination and early departures. Breakfast service was consistent and convenient, offering a solid variety to start the day. Overall this hotel served as a dependable base that supported the flow of the trip without stress, which is exactly what is needed at the beginning of a multi stop itinerary.

Our first day with Gugs Experiences was a highlight for the group. The excursions were well organized engaging and deeply connected to the local environment. Seeing turtles laying eggs on the beach at night was an unforgettable and moving experience that many travelers described as a once in a lifetime moment. Our guide MP was excellent. He was knowledgeable engaging and attentive, helping bring the experience to life while ensuring everyone felt safe and informed. The combination of nature education and hands on experience made the day both meaningful and memorable. The second day with Gugs Experiences continued to impress. Activities like snorkeling and the boat ride were very well received by the group and offered a fun relaxed way to experience the area. Everything was thoughtfully paced and coordinated, allowing travelers to enjoy the day without feeling rushed. Again, MP’s guidance stood out. His familiarity with the region and ability to engage the group added value to each activity. These experiences complemented our stay beautifully and gave our group a deeper appreciation for the local landscape and culture.

The Apartheid Museum was a profoundly impactful experience and an essential part of our time in South Africa. The exhibits are immersive thoughtful and emotionally resonant, guiding visitors through the country’s history with honesty and care. Our group appreciated the way the museum balances education reflection and storytelling. It prompted deep conversations and offered important context that enriched everything we experienced afterward. While intense at times, it was incredibly well curated and meaningful. A must visit experience that leaves a lasting impression.

Our visit to Sanctuary Mandela was primarily a dinner experience. It was nice to be in the space, and the food and service were both good. The atmosphere was pleasant and the staff were attentive, making for an enjoyable evening meal. That said, the experience felt more like a solid dinner stop than a must do activity. While we appreciated having gone and enjoyed the meal, it is not something I would necessarily repeat on a future itinerary. It worked well as a gentle introduction to Johannesburg, but did not stand out as a highlight compared to other experiences on the trip.

Wonderful staff and accommodations. When KimKim services failed, they stepped in and organized the remaining private activities we had asked and paid for through KimKim.

Good location, and service. Our apt would need a little refreshment. The pool was nice.

Excellent service, very good location, comfort

Great boutique hotel - staff was very helpful!

This hotel overall was a nice stay. Rooms were nice and clean - The house keepers were very attentive. We were slightly disappointed they no longer have a spa - but plenty of others around so not end of the world. Property was nice but left with a feeling it needed over all some TLC. It was a good stay and no specific complaints - we did not stay elsewhere in the area to compare.

The tour and guides were great. It was sooo crowded and that would be the negative. Nothing that the tour could control. So many different tours and boats happening it was extremely busy. Glad we left EARLY … can only imagine the crowds of later departure.

Fun day with Song our guide and the driver was hilarious! I can not remember his name unfortunately. They were great especially since they had German and English speaking clients on the tour. Made sure we all understood what we were seeing and doing. And we all had fun!

Mint was great! We saw everything and she was easy to hang with. Full of info and a wealth of info. She was patient with all our questions!
