Kim's Garden

Hotel

I suggested to 2 family members that they stay in Kim’s Garden because we had a very pleasant stay there some 8 years ago. I checked out the place before making the final reservation. The place is still beautifully located and the gardens have been amazingly developed by Kim, the owner. However, sadly the service has gone down. There was no staff to clean the rooms (my niece stayed there 4 nights and the room was never cleaned). When she arrived the shower was broken and needed to be fixed (which they did the next day). And the internet in the rooms is almost non existent. The gardens, amazing as they may be, need more attending because it is getting too dark which for a first timer is a bit intimidating, especially at night. For the prices that they are asking, the place badly needs a more professional management and new staff. It’s too bad because it has loads of potential.

This is a beautiful place off the beaten track (but still close enough to be accessible) with very nice rooms. The owner and staff were all extremely helpful and great all around. They made sure we had everything we needed and arranged transportation for us whenever we needed it (though it was also pretty easy to walk out to the road and flag down a tricycle cab). Breakfast each morning was likewise amazing. I would highly recommend staying here. It is also right next door to Amun ini which offers amazing diving (we stayed at Kim's for 6 nights while diving with Amun ini).

They have no dinner, only breakfast. And there is no restraunt nearby, we need to go to restraunt by trycile The picure of private beach is fake, no beach andvwe can't swimv.

Great place though the bugs are awful and to get any food you must drive. Nevertheless, the water and the scenery made it worth it.

Was Great, visited in 2015. Kim even leant/rented me his old Yamaha Bike for a few times.

Ive travelled the world and stayed in many places, and can say that staying at Kim's Garden Inn was the best experience I've had, especially travelling solo. I stayed for 5 nights (originally planned on 1) in a private hut for 700 pesos, roughly 11 euros per night. The food is cheap and the ingredients are amazing, many of which are grown by the owners. They have a nice variety of western/eastern foods. Joakim (Kim) is an awesome guy, and his wife was so nice and accommodating, even giving advice on cool things to see around the area. Cegie, Grace (the real boss), and the rest of the staff were great, always on top of things and showing pride in their work. I also visited the Kim's Garden Resort (their second slightly more upscale property), excellent private beach and snorkel spot, really eco focused and cool that nothing is cleared, its right in the jungle with small walkways to get around. Solid price for what you get, good for nature lovers. I recommend to go to Kim's Inn and let the days go by, relax at the bar, learn some scuba down the road, soak in the relaxed beach community, be part of the family. It's a special place!

We had dinner at their restaurant this week and all the food was absolutely delitious. The best bihon we have had in the philippines so far and the tortilla was also reaaaly good. The owners were also super nice and willing to help on anything. Definitely going back to this place if we happen to be back in Anda.
