DID YOU KNOW INDIA WAS THIS AMAZING? 🇮🇳❤️ Modern, Safe, Luxury Kochi Kerala

Hi Guys! We are still in Kochi, India. 🇮🇳❤️

After spending a night on the Grand Hyatt Bolgatty Houseboat, we moved to the hotel’s main building, where a surprise was waiting for us. 

Grand Hyatt Bolgatty Cake Surprise

Knowing India was our 100th country, the amazing staff at the Grand Hyatt Bolgatty treated us to some delicious chocolate cake and a thoughtful message. 

This lovely gesture made us feel truly special!

We chose the Grand Hyatt Bolgatty because it’s so much more than just a hotel! From spas and pools to restaurants and shops - there was plenty to see and do at this location. 

Trying New Thai Recipes at the Grand Hyatt Bolgatty

In the previous video, we showed you the finger-licking international buffet dinner, but now we decided to try some new Thai recipes at the hotel’s restaurant. 

Thai cuisine is one of our favorites, but we usually order the same dishes. This time it wasn’t the case. Everything we tried was brand new for us, and it tasted amazing. Plus, the food presentations were unique and inviting. Every bite was a new experience! Yum!

Sailing the Backwaters in Kerala

After such a filling lunch, we jumped on a traditional boat for a tour of Kerala’s Backwaters, during which we learned many facts about the local history and culture.

We saw many traditional houses, unusual Chinese fishing nets unique to the Kochi area, and even dolphins. Chantal and the girls also got the chance to steer the boat’s helm. How exciting!

If you ever find yourself in Kochi, we highly recommend that you take a boat tour!

Traditional Indian Breakfast

The next morning, we had one of the best experiences in India - a traditional Kerala breakfast, and we ate just like locals do. You can check the full Live update video from a few months ago here. 

 India Spa Pampering and Indoor Pool

Having such a filling breakfast called for rest and relaxation! Just kidding. But we were not going to pass up the opportunity to treat ourselves to a massage and a lovely spa pampering. And while we were doing this, the girls enjoyed a swim in the indoor pool.

As Julia said, the Grand Hyatt Bolgatty felt a lot like a cruise, and we loved every bit of it. If you ever come to Kochi, this is the place to stay!
