The entire experience working with Kimkim from start to finish was professional, and enjoyable. A well crafted online user experience providing detailed travel itineraries, transportation pickup times and hotel contacts that were easy to reference while traveling (and share with others not traveling). The local expertise of Responsible Travel, (our Chile connection) helped outline an itinerary that fit our travel needs both in capacity and economically. Very custom experience. Having staff checking in with us regularly to make sure the trip was going smoothly was comforting. The communication and special advice was valuable and the entire trip just flowed. I loved our pre-arranged airport transfers! And our experienced van driver to ski areas, not only was a great driver, but understood why its important to get to the slopes early was a bonus. Everyone was considerate and thoughtful to us. Chile is a remarkable country. Great food and friendly people.
Hotel Reviews
The hotel is located in a good part town that is easy to access from Airport. Lots of good restaurants and shops nearby. The staff are very accommodating and the luggage storage room fit our ski bags and was easy to access when needed. The rooms vary in size. The pool room is relaxing.
A fantastic hotel. great location above the fray of the city with views of the harbor. The owners are super kind and accommodating to customers. (thanks for the Birthday breakfast with soundtrack!) The public space and outdoor area is clean and relaxing, which is nice after a day on the streets in town. The local is food is good if you want to stay in for a meal.
Upscale and modern. I wish I had an extra day here to relax outside under the tree.
The hotel is peaceful and clean. Wonderful artisan craftsmanship adorn the space. Hours of love and care have built this hotel.
The location is fantastic. Easy to walk around town and get picked up by tour companies. A bit noisy with guest leaving rooms. simple accommodations.
Activity Reviews
a fun filled day customized to meet our needs. We were able to surf the sand dunes ( "maybe we can ski it" ) and go swimming after a food feast of fresh local fish. When your guide (Angel) really listens and gets to know his guests, magic happens. We had so much fun and laughed so hard we had tears in our eyes.
Bright moon prevented good star viewing. telescopes were cool and learned new things. communication on pick up time, location and which tour operator could be improved.
good guides and drivers. very interesting day, learned a ton.
A very interesting experience and worth the early morning pick up. Rare and unique, great photos opportunities.
Our driver was excellent. He was kind and understanding as emotions were overflowing while seeing the Andes mountain range up close for the first time. Which in itself was a remarkable experience. With safety in mind, he delivered us in a timely manner. 80's pop sing along a bonus.
A great tour with Angel, our local guide from Responsible Travel. We hit the best empanada spot, met the owners and got to know about local spices, before heading to the markets for shopping. Drank traditional Mote con huesillo and the Pisco Sours. Enjoyed dishes showcasing the variety of fresh regional seafood. Finished the day with a sunset picnic in a secluded park overlooking the city. A magical day and a great way to spend a day in Santiago. Our guide was knowledgeable about regional dishes and local restaurants. Came prepared to escort us through the busy market stalls and answer all of our questions.
good communication from tour guide, great funny driver. Amazing murals Valparaiso. Go for the art, stay for the winding streets and discover /support local artists. good unique food and bar scene.
I can't be grateful enough for this detailed and thoughtful review, it means the world to us in Responsible Travel as well as Kimkim to know that we have met, and probably exceeded your expectations when it comes to our services and communication since it's essential to guarantee a smooth and second-to-none experience. Your comments will serve as a great motivation for us to continue offering our best and looking for improvement which we believe there is always room for it. It... Read more
