Kimkim Trip Reviews

Very nice hotel. Took about 45 min to arrive at the hotel from the airport, but the drive was amazing along the coastline. The hotel was nice, clean, beautiful surroundings, and good food!

Amazing, adults only hotel. Beautiful hotel, good buffet, great drinks, great location!

This activity was a blast! We took a short ferry ride to La Graciosa were we were able to explore on our own for about an hour. Then we boarded a catamaran and sailed around the island, stopping for lunch and a swim. This was a perfect day that I will not forget!

Perfect day with our awesome, private tour guide. I would definitely recommend this tour. Our guide took us all over Lanzarote, and explained to us all about the volcanoes as well as the vineyards. He even stopped at a couple different beaches at the end of the tour so we could see those sights. He packed us a delicious, local to the Canary Islands, picnic lunch which we enjoyed in a lava tube!

Amazing tour! Would definitely recommend this tour to others. We saw the sunset above the clouds, and then we experienced stargazing like I've never seen it before. Definitely a once in a lifetime tour.

Very quiet hotel with outdoor space to just sit relax and congregate as a group for planning group activities. Within the old city walls. Everyplace was walkable if you wanted or you could get a taxi, tuk tuk or uber like taxi. Right outside the doors there were shops. restaurants and massage places.

Beautiful hotel. Wonderful food. The chef would come out to see if all was to expectation and just talk for a bit. No other hotel had this during our stay They gave us a tour of the hotel amenities as well. Also a first for us. Breakfast watching the beach day begin and supper watching people walk the beach.

I enjoyed staying here. It was basically a rest break without a lot of dight seeing. Beach was great

This place had beautiful rooms. The food was great. The sea was right there or the pool if preferred. The food was a buffet and delicious. The evening event was spectacular

If you’re fit and able to climb stairs to your room it is great. We had asked for a lower room as I can’t climb stairs well. We ended up with a flight of stairs. I stayed in the room until the next day when we left for the National Park Service lake.

Beautiful place. Friendly helpful people. Super great food buffet. Close walking distance to city. Right on the river so able to watch the river traffic

Beautiful park and lake. The boat tide takes you through and around the lake.

A great day spent with the elephants. We fed, washed, mudded and played with the elephants. All the elephants were rescues but the only eay to describe them is as gentle loving giants.

Saw a wild elephant! A highlight for the trip. Also saw some birds

We arrived about noon so those that rode bikes got them. I rode in a motor tuk tuk. As it was noon we asked the guide to feed us before going to the old city. He complied and took us to a wonderful restaurant (Trip review rated) Then we went yo the old city. A lot of ruins but still had a reclining Buddah.

Saw many temples, a native craft center and all mostly by boat. Boats for me were a challenge but it was a fun day

Beautiful accommodations and view was fantastic from our room. Restaurant was also superb.

Detailed walking tour with an informative guide. So much to see in Lisbon and our guide did a good job of hitting the major highlights.

This was another favorite part of our trip. The views from the Catamaran were amazing. Best way to see the beautiful landscape, cliffs and caves from a water view. Also it was very relaxing and comfortable.

One of our family’s favorite outings. Loved the river cruise and wine tasting with lunch in a private vineyard with the owner. Our host Rafael was wondeful and our driver Fernando was friendly and informative. Also, he went out of his way to make our outing special by stopping along the way to show us scenic overlooks, a dam, and a special port tonic wine tasting on the way home. Highly recommend this excursion. We can’t wait to get the wine we ordered while at the vineyard!!

Perfect way to end our trip with a wonderful night of authentic Portuguese food and music. Highly recommend.

This walking tour was very good and our guide was informative and friendly.

This is an incredible property outside of busier Phuket, but still very well located. Our villa was incredible, large and comfortable with our own private pool! We also enjoyed the beach and pool area, including complimentary stand-up paddleboarding, kayaks, etc. Dining was great too. We found ourselves staying on the property to enjoy the restaurants there. I'm sure there's great dining nearby, but we didn't discover it ourselves. I would definitely recommend this hotel for couples and families. If someone wants to be closer to Phuket itself, they may want to choose a different property.

Enchanting! All of the rooms face the valley where the elephants roam, and the view is spectacular. The prettiest picture I took from our entire vacation was from the deck of our room at Anantara. The spa is also excellent; I loved the massage from Poy, and even went back to her a second time. The highlight of course is the elephants, though. It was a wonderful experience to walk the grounds with a small group, guide, and 3 elephants. No riding or petting allowed, which was good; the animals are very well protected and cared for. The only disappointment at Anantara was the Mekong River boat cruise. We were on a boat with a guide who spoke no English, so we weren't able to learn what we'd hoped to. The dining and property in general are top tier. The service at the restaurant - particularly by Kat and Morn - was excellent, and the food at every meal delicious. The infinity pool overlooks the valley with the elephants, an unbeatable view. p.s. let me know if you'd like me to email you the picture from our room.

The highlight of our stay at NaNirand was the Loy Krathong gala dinner. There was a delicious buffet, krathongs to put in the river, Thai entertainment, a professional photographer who subsequently sent us excellent photos, and someone to teach us how to make krathongs. It was a fantastic evening. Note - your materials called the evening "compulsory", but I think a better word would be "complimentary". Compulsory means we HAVE to go, which isn't what was meant, I believe. The room and property was also very nice, generally well located, etc.

A lovely oasis in the middle of bustling Bangkok, Ariyasom Villa is a beautiful, quiet property with lush greenery, a nice swimming pool, really nice rooms, and excellent service. The restaurant is also very good, with a vegetarian focus. Breakfast was a highlight; homemade bread and muffins accompanied delicious Thai food. Location also good, close to the skytrain (if interested).

It was a wonderful way to end our stay in Chiang Mai. We saw another beautiful temple, which was peacefully quiet in the morning when we went, and then we visited a food market, which I loved. The visit was made all the better by our wonderful guide, Mona, who patiently explained Thai history and Buddhism to us.

It was really nice to learn more about the Lanna culture, and to meet the family who provided the meal. It felt very authentic, which we appreciated.

We explored Chaing Mai a little saw the huge parade for Loy Krathong, and then drove outside the city to launch a lantern. It was a beautiful and memorable experience!

Highly recommend! We loved going to the market to get the food to prepare, and then we spent several hours cooking five different courses. We loved learning about the ingredients and preparations, and then we loved eating what we'd prepared. Absolutely wonderful day!

I really think the name of this needs to be changed. Compulsory suggests it's mandatory. Really, it was a "complimentary" - i.e., the dinner was included for all guests. And it was excellent! They had a delicious buffet, entertainment, krathongs to put in the river, someone to show us how to make the krathongs. It was truly a gala evening and a joy to attend.

This was one of the best activities we did. Amazing to be at the temple before sunrise, with no crowds at all, so we were able to appreciate the beauty and serenity of the temple. Watching the sunrise was beautiful too, and then being blessed by the monks is something I'll always remember. This is a must-do activity for anyone up for an early start to the day.

The property is spectacular, and what a privilege it was to spend time with the elephants. We signed up for two activities: 1) Walking with Elephants 2) Boat trip on Mekong River Walking with the elephants was moving and beautiful - I highly recommend it for any visitors. I don't think I'd recommend the Mekong River ride, however. We were on a boat with a captain who spoke no English, so we learned nothing except that we could see Myannmar, Thailand, and Laos from the boat. I would have liked to learn more about the Golden Triangle generally, and wasn't able to from this excursion. Instead, I'd recommend your guests sign up for a spa treatment instead. They have a beautiful spa which would be a much better choice than the river boat.

Great experience! Great food and fun exploring the city at night.

They were a bit touristy, but still really fun to see.

The Golden Palace and Wat Phraw Kaew were both spectactular.

Loved the cycling and seeing the Bang Krachao area - a great way to get energized on our first day in Bangkok. Rating a 3 instead of 5 only because the guide didn't speak English, so our Exotic Voyages guide (Ms. Oh) was forced to come with us. Ms. Oh does not like cycling and ended up falling and hurting herself. In the future, it would be ideal for the guide to speak English to prevent an accident like this. Besides this, however, the ride was beautiful and relaxing and a wonderful introduction to Bangkok.

This place is a gem. Such a neat "glamping" experience with beautiful surroundings in a natural Sri Lankan setting. Wildlife galore, and the service was 10/10. We loved it!

Lots of great animal sitings! Got to see a rare siting of a sloth bear. :)

Beautiful and a must see.

Such a lovely place to spend the night in after trekking without showers for nearly 2 weeks! The staff was friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived and exchanged our hiking boots for slippers. The rooms are small, but clean and nice. The shower and bathroom were clean and had hot water. I especially loved the dining room (gorgeous painted walls and ceiling!) and the sunroom/sitting room at one end of the building (great place to relax and read!).

This hotel was really fun but seemed a little dated for the price. Though after nearly 12 days of hiking, the room and especially the shower was a real luxury. The views were beautiful and the dining experience was wonderful because of the service and the super cool architecture (and fireplace!) and use of the mountainside as part of the building.

I cannot say enough about this amazing place. It was like stepping into a different world. At once simple and luxurious, it was the perfect place to stay when we began and ended our time in Nepal. The staff are generous, helpful, kind, and so very friendly. The food/meals were delicious. The architecture was mesmerizing and you could spend hours studying the carved wood and intricate details of the brick and wood rooms. Every nook and cranny of this place has character. DO NOT MISS this hotel.

This is a must-do while in Nepal. Take your time soaking in everything with all your senses.

Do not miss Kalapatthar!! It is going to be tempting to sleep in when it's 4:30am and you don't want to get up in the literal freezing cold, but the views are breathtaking. This was my favorite day of the hike. Please do not pass it up!! Hike all the way to the top. Your guide will tell you about halfway up that the views are not all that different at the top, and that's mostly true, but they are actually different in that the top gives you a 360 view. If you are physically able to hike to the top, do it!

This hike was nice and was THE DAY to get to EBC. It was what we had been waiting for. Totally worth it.

I think this is the hardest day of hiking. Lots of uphill, but you will make it and it will be so worth it! Tengboche is a unique place with beautiful views of the mountains!

The flight and landing at the Lukla airport was unlike any other flight you'll ever take. It is a MUST DO. Loved it. Don't forget to stay around and watch other flights landing and taking off! Grab some tea in Lukla and then head out for the first day of hiking. It's an easy day and a good day to get used to hiking and the weight of your bag.

The staff at this hotel is outstanding! The location is lovely, quiet and has great views. It is out of town and requires transportation into town. The rooms are tired and the whole hotel could use updating. The staff made up for the hotel's run down condition.

Great breakfast. Staff not helpful.

Great restaurant! It was nice to have filtered water available to refill our containers. There was also always coffee\tea available in the lobby. The front desk was very helpful too.

Great guide, didn't like getting up so early. Not sure if it was as spectacular as I anticipated.

Loved our guide, Anna

Loved seeing the flamingos

Great hike and guide. Especially liked the "treats" after the hike.

Great food, wine and conversation. It was lovely to spend time in a Chilean home. An authentic experience!

Kind of lackluster for us but could have been the travel fatigue from redeye flights.

Excellent friendly and helpful service. Perfect location for shopping and travel to sites.

The location in the mountain village with views is serene.

Great buffet breakfast. Beautiful, serene, and clean. The shuttle to/from the train station makes travel and shopping convenient.

We had a beautiful clear day.

All sights were breathtaking. Enjoyed it all.

Amazing historical tour. Lots of walking and never felt rushed or anxious.

North Seymour was great! Loved every single moment of my hike on this island .

My diving experience was exhilarating and beyond belief. Thanks to the dive master for taking good care of us (3 divers at different skill levels) and showing us the best of Galápagos and kicker rock had to offer . I felt safe and enjoyed every moment of my diving experience. In addition, I got so many amazing underwater photos and videos which I will alway cherish and remember.
