I had high expectations for my stay at Kims, given its fantastic reputation, but it was a mixed experience. The location is stunning, just steps from the beach, which was definitely a highlight. While the rooms were comfortable, I was disappointed by the dining experience, especially at breakfast. Overall, it felt a bit overpriced for the value received, particularly during my stay.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The location is incredible, just a short walk to the beach, but the dining options left much to be desired. The rooms were spacious and clean, yet felt a bit outdated. The service was friendly and welcoming, but definitely could use some improvement when it came to attentiveness. Overall, while the resort did provide a nice getaway, it might not be worth the high price tag for everyone.

Our stay was quite the mixed bag. The beach front bungalow offered breathtaking views and the sound of crashing waves, which made for a lovely backdrop. However, the dining experience fell short as the food quality was inconsistent and did not meet the expectations for the high price we paid. The service also left a lot to be desired, which was disappointing given the resort's reputation.
