An island paradise that you share with only a few other tourists. Beautiful natural bungalows, excellent food, and always helpful and friendly staff who took great care of us. A stunning sea full of coral and marine life, with the option to go on snorkeling trips. We’ve rarely left a place so reluctantly, and we’ll be happy to return if we ever get the chance.

This is paradise! We stayed 12 days with our kids and had a wonderful time on this beautiful island. Kimo resort is simple, clean, and very well looked after. The staff is super friendly and helpful, food is great and there are good, different choices. Access to two beaches for sunrise or sunset, they are not even a minute walk apart. The bungalow is right at the beach, and a few meters into the sea, there is a little reef - not too many corals, but anemones, and a decent number of fish. Ideal for kids to start snorkeling.

The place is wonderful. It's a small island, but perfect for people looking for peace and quiet. People who like to spend time actively will not be bored either. There is a diving base on site, a great, very helpful and friendly instructor, you can also opt for kayaking and even a Robinson Crusoe adventure. Reef under reconstruction, but plenty of coral rich dive sites, and some good snorkelling. Bungalows comfortable, clean, close to the sea, electricity available most of the day. There is of course wifi. Shared toilets and shower, clean, nice shower. All staff VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. The hospitality we experienced was amazing! You can communicate in English, Indonesian but also Czech, which made us very happy. They will help organize transfer from Medan airport, boat from Singkil or other regions. Excellent cuisine on the island, seafood, varied meals and unlimited coconuts 😉 The atmosphere of the island and the people made us extend our stay and it was a great decision!

The staff here is absolutely amazing. The facilities and location is beyond perfect, we absolutely loved our stay!

We travelled with our kids (1,5 and 3 years old at the time of travel). The location is great: on a remote island, nestled on the side naturally sheltered from the wind. During our stay (mid-February), there were a few strong night storms, but they were pleasant and caused absolutely no problems or damage. The rooms are spacious, the bathroom is nice, and the mosquito nets are wide, new, and without any holes. We loved the remote feel of the location. We typically spent our days at the resort or on the beach just around the corner - this beach ranks among the top three best beaches we have ever seen and is completely deserted. With palm trees on white sand and shallow water at around 30 degrees Celsius. We particularly enjoyed the dinners - we had fresh fish every evening (we mentioned our love for fish upon arrival). Deni went fishing every afternoon and prepared fresh fish each evening, along with really tasty vegetables. The owner, Deni, is very kind. He is a great cook and made our boat excursion truly memorable - we saw a manatee and many turtles. He arranged our transportation, promptly replied to all our messages, and truly deserves recognition for his outstanding hospitality.
