KKinaCongAfter checking out from Poly Rosewood, we moved to the Kimpton, which my best friend highly recommended, and it definitely lived up to the hype! The motorcycle at the entrance and the chic, dark lobby decor immediately caught my eye. The scent in the public areas was sophisticated and pleasant.
We booked a pool-access room for two nights, and it was beautiful. Our butler, Ivy, surprised us with a cute Kimpton puppy plushie and a luggage tag, which made us very happy. I loved the sofa across the pool when I opened the window. I immediately put on sunscreen, ready to jump in, but the water was too cold! After looking around, I realized I could only swim across, so thankfully I brought my duck float to act as a ferry. Soaking up the sun and sipping on a cold drink was just heavenly!
In the afternoon, with nothing else planned, we wandered around the hotel. The lazy river looked great, but unfortunately, it was under construction during our two-day stay 🚧, so we couldn't use it. Still, the other scenery was absolutely stunning and very photogenic. Plus, it was super close to the beach, which even had a little train you could ride! 🚂
In the evening, we headed to 'Chess View' for the complimentary cocktail social hour. My husband and I played an hour of billiards; I lost badly, and he was thrilled! 🥹
The breakfast really impressed me. Compared to Poly Rosewood, which also serves breakfast until 12 PM, the Kimpton's breakfast not only had a better ambiance but also offered a wider and more delicious variety of food. The puff pastry desserts were especially amazing! Ordering was super convenient via QR code. And importantly, the à la carte menu changes daily! It was such a joy to have a surprise every morning for breakfast! ♥️
Throughout our two-day stay, our butler Ivy was incredibly accommodating, answering all our questions and requests. She was super attentive, making our stay absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend!
