Kimkim Trip Reviews

Our favorite activity of the trip! So fun, interactive and amazing food!

Positively one of he most relaxing places I’ve ever stayed. The staff was friendly and very good at their jobs. The hotel was comfortable, clean, beautiful and just what we needed. The quietness of the location along with sunrise and sunset from our room, we couldn't have as for more! Breakfast was beautiful every morning, and just as tasty. Would love to visit this resort, again!

It is unfortunate I cannot give 5 stars. The grounds are lovely with a nice pool and seating areas, and a great bar. The bar/restaurant staff were really great, and the food was excellent. The animals that came through the grounds in the afternoon were a real treat-Agouti, Iguana, and the squirrel monkeys. Most of the rooms in the back of the property seemed lovely, but we had a "front side" room. These rooms face the front of the building and the main road. The room was basic-not aesthetically pleasing or anywhere you'd want to spend any time. The lamps were broken. On our last night we came back to the room and found it flooded from a backup in the shower (we hadn't used the shower yet that day). Of course things happen sometimes, but the woman in charge did not know how to handle the situation. It took persistence on our part to get the management to set us up in another hotel for the night since they could not accommodate us with an equivalent room. They did end up moving us to another lovely hotel nearby for no charge and waived our food and beverage charges-which was nice. If we were in a better room, and had been taken care of promptly when the shower issue happened, then I would give 5 stars.

do not pick the "front side" room

This hotel was beautiful-online photos don't do it justice. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The view of the volcano from our back patio couldn't be beat (room 503). The restaurant and bar had very good food and drinks. The pool area was very nice and relaxing. The covered jacuzzi was great to sit in during the evening rainstorms. The grounds were beautiful-it seemed the staff were tending to it throughout the day. The front desk staff were helpful with every question or need we had, and were very helpful in arranging transport into town. I would stay here again.

If you want to be close to "the action" of town this is not the place for you-you'd need to take a taxi.

I can't review this tour because it was cancelled due to a lightning storm. Brittany with Kimkim handled the refund process for us with no problem.

Carla was a very nice naturalist guide. We were able to see several animals, and she was very informative and patient.

Nice hike around the 1968 lava field. The hot springs were nice, but the grounds were difficult to negotiate at night. The dinner provided was really good.

Truly a 5-star hotel.

The hotel was ok. Not great, but apparently the best place to stay when going to Petra. The Petra entrance is right across the street, making it a great location. But, it is not a 5-star hotel.

Everything was great about this except the front desk staff, some of which were downright rude. We did have one dinner at the fine dining restaurant that wasn't great (lamb so overcooked it was inedible), but we went back the next night, and they were overly attentive and took super great care of us.

This place exceeded our expectations, and the staff was overly attentive and super amazing.

I'd prob skip Little Petra. It is underwhelming after you've seen Petra.

Petra is simply amazing. The guide was great. Not too much, but the right amount of information. Starting early in the day (7am) was key.

The resort is at the north end of Kefalonia near Fiskardo. Peaceful is an understatement, no cars, no aircraft, quiet and relaxing. If you want to just soak in sun and sea with little interruption this is the place. You can be busy if you want with the shuttle into town or just lounge by the beautiful pools. It was the perfect start to our trip celebrating our 40th anniversary.

The hotel was lovely and wonderful situated in Marrakech, near the main market. The rooms were clean and the staff was kind. The only note is there was some trouble accommodating food allergies with the complementary breakfast.

This was our least favorite location of our trip — so many we are holding it to the standards set by the other locations. We understand that we are in the middle of the desert, so accommodations are limited, but this site was just not for us. It was very hot — and there is no ventilation in the tents — windows to open or ways to get air flow. The site says you can sleep under the stars — but they offered no way to do that. When we arrived, there was a group of 14-16 young adults who had, shall we say, a different energy level than us and stayed up all night — aided by a site provided drum circle. The food was ok and there was no accommodation possible for food allergies.

Make sure you bring beverages with you as the options are limited, not cold, and very expensive. Also, depending on the length of your stay, figure out how not to bring all your luggage as there are a lot of bugs and sand gets in everything.

This hotel is very lovely — a bit of a drive to get to, but worth the trip. Though on the major road, it is very quiet and feels hidden with the back of the property set in to the countryside. The food was delicious and the staff was so incredibly kind. There is a beautiful pool on the roof as well — though we didn’t have time to enjoy that, we did use the roof for star gazing. We would most certainly recommend this property.

We loved this property most of all. The setting was spectacular— there are private flower and vegetable gardens to your, a family donkey who has quite the personality, and a quiet/calm setting that felt so welcoming. The pool and patio are lovely and perfect for unwinding and outdoor dining. The staff was too kind and accommodating— one of the only spots that truly understood a gluten food allergy. The guest rooms were spacious, the common areas allows for guest interactions. Our room even had a walk out patio as we were on the first floor. You can also easily walk to town (~1 mile) where there is a market and local vendors to enjoy. Unfortunately we only had one night here, but we would definitely visit again.

This is a must visit.

Our opinion is a bit swayed as we visited during the major music festival in June 2022), but this property upon arrival left a lot to be desired. The team seemed disorganized and could not figure out our room — we wait for nearly an hour only to discover there was no room available. They were able to accommodate us with a room to use temporarily and then while we were out they moved our belongings. Spending only one night, we also needed to leave early the next day, before breakfast would be prepared, and they were not able to accommodate an early start (by 30 minutes). Eventually they agreed to prepare a bagged option — no consideration for food allergies — but this seemed like a big lift. We have traveled to plenty of international properties were some help is offered proactively to travelers leaving early, but such service seemed beyond this hotel. We mention this because this property was definitely the largest property we visited and they seemed the least guest focused.

Essaouria is an energetic city — be prepared for noise throughout the evening.

A beautiful property that surprises you the moment you step through the plain and nearly camouflaged front door. The team was incredibly inviting and helpful. There is a beautiful pool in the center of the property with a restaurant and tables around the perimeter. Dinner is offered — it is a bit pricey but very delicious and worth the price. There is an exercise room — you have to ask for access at the front desk. The guest room was spacious and the bathroom was huge. We were very pleased with this property.

Dinner is expensive and a fixed menu; if that is not your preference, suggest finding an option outside of the property.

Great guide, very interesting explanation of Egyptian history

Amazing visit of the Valley of the Kings, Karnat Temple and Luxor Temple

very nice and comfortable hotel

Great hotel, very clean, excellent staff members

Great hotel, very clean, very helpful staff members

Perfect location and appeared to be the nicest hotel in Petra.

Nice hotel on the outskirts of city center so not much to walk to or see from here. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Amenities were that of a nice but not luxury hotel.

The perfect place to stay after spending the day exploring Plitvice Lakes. Having a restaurant next door was perfect.

We were just there overnight and we jetlagged so didn't really do anything. We were glad there was a restaurant on site so we could get a quick dinner before heading to bed.

The room was small and a lower caliber but the beds were comfortable and we loved Ston. I don't think you can get much better accommodations in a small place. The location was great.

The location was great, right by the old city and it was clean and comfortable. We had a bit of trouble figuring out the hot water. The hardest thing for us was the stairs. It was a lot of stairs for older people with bad knees and backs.

The national park was spectacular. A must see stop for anyone visiting Croatia

Beautiful drive and Zadar was very interesting.

We will never forget the lovely wineries Robi chose for us to visit and the countryside was beautiful.

We were disappointed in Mostar but it had nothing to do with Robi. He took us to a great place for lunch and another park that we really enjoyed.

We really enjoyed the visit to the island for lunch and a lovely walk. The day was cut short because we were tired and had to get Covid tests. Robi, you were right, the calamari was terrific.

We absolutely loved this winery! The area was beautiful and the wine makers were lovely.

Easiest arrival after a long flight we have ever had. Thank you Bruno

Robi was prompt and very informative. He made sure we had the experience we wanted.

The best experience we had in Argentina. Pablo was so welcoming and made us feel at home. The food was delicious. A bottle of Malbec was served for every meal. It was really neat to see the traditional dances and music of the pampas region. We really enjoyed the horseback riding and sunset walks across the estancia.

Come hungry because the BBQ outside had a huge variety of delicious meats.

Insanely magical and has so much history. Our guide and driver made it easy and we felt like VIPs

This felt like a dream. Very beautiful and my fav in Egypt. Well worth the trip

So fun! do the jeeps and star gazing. Stay in the bubble tents

my bucket list and a top on my list. It was breathtaking.

Cool experience.

Location was great, loved tbt pool and lawn area, every staff member was exceptional!

The views from this hotel are absolutely breathtaking! The bathrooms were very small with no counter space and I thought the bed was so hard and uncomfortable. But honestly it may have been worth it for tbt views!

Beautiful hotel, amazing location, great breakfast. Only negative was one small bathroom in a suite for 6.

Great views, amazing breakfast, comfortable and clean, free shuttle to hotel.

This was so fun. It’s a must do in Santorini!

Favorite tour of our trip! We loved our guide Spiros and it was so fun to be led to the best food on the island while also touring a bit of the area as well.

Very convenient to airport and great breakfast that started nice and early. Reliable shuttle to the airport.

Clean and comfortable in the middle of the jungle. The grounds were beautiful. Food was fantastic!

I had a wonderful stay at Caldera Memories! They were very helpful during my first day and gave me an overview of the island and the things I could do. The suite I stayed in was beautiful and had an amazing view of the ocean that looked stunning during sunset. They were also very accommodating and even offered shuttle services and other excursions I could try during my short stay. I would definitely stay there again!

It is approximately 35 minutes away from Fira by foot, so without a form of transportation like a car, shuttle, or ATV it can be quite the trek to walk to and from town.

The hotel was very comfortable and the staff was helpful. Nice to be able to have a good dinner in the hotel after a late arrival. The only fownside is that it is a 20-25 minute walk to the old town and most restaurants.

Very comfortable small hotel, well located, nice staff and nice breakfast with excellent coffee.

Perfectly located very near to the old town golden gate. Very attentive staff and a beautifully restored building. The room was comfortable and well appointed. Excellent.
