We loved the experience with Kim
Kim. I do think we had a few too many stops and would have preferred more days in Raja Ampat and Ubud. The diving was fantastic and Ubud had so many things to do. I would definitely suggest including how long the travel days are and mention the traffic. It’s hard to have a 7 or 8am start time the day after a long travel day. That means being up at 5 or 6 to get dressed and have breakfast. I say this about our travel day from Raja Ampat to Yogyakarta. We left at 7am and got to our hotel at almost 10pm. I do believe that Yogyakarta should have been cut out of my itinerary but our drivers and tour guides were amazing. In fact all of our tour guides, drivers and hotels were fantastic! Amazing, actually. I am so very pleased and will highly recommend Kim Kim to friends. Pricilla was exceptional and so was Kaisa. Thanks for making our holiday amazing.

Hotel Reviews
Papua Paradise Eco Resort
Papua Barat

This resort was our favorite place we stayed during our Indonesia trip. The service was 5 star. The welcome song, the food, bartender and drinks, housekeeping, dive shop and the owners made this such a special holiday for my son and I.

This hotel was very American. Lots of restaurants to choose from and they offer free shuttles to the mall and beach. Very clean and spacious rooms, the breakfast buffet was huge and the food was delicious. We spent NYE here and they had a DJ with dancing and champagne toast at midnight. I do have to give a shout out to the bar staff and entertainment staff, they all went above and beyond Excellent customer service all the way around

We had a little too much jet lag to really enjoy this tour. The market was a bit narrow and scared me but with a lot of people. I chose it to do the monument tour due to the crowds as well. The temple we went to was very small and in a not so nice part of town. We’ve been to temples and this one was not impressive at all. The restaurant for lunch was nice. We chose not to sit through the puppet show. Our favorite part was New China Town and Golf Island We ended up spending our last day on Golf Island

This was a 14 hour travel day We chose to skip the rappel which was the whole reason to go to Yogyakarta. It requires an early pick up and we just needed to rest. There should have been a flight that took us from Sorong to Yogyakarta but instead we had a layover back in Jakarta which someone should have taken into account.
