- We loved Kochi, India SO MUCH that we just couldn't leave yet! We decided to change our plans at the last minute and cash in some of our credit card points for a suite for one night at the Grand Hyatt Kochi. We travel on a budget, so this was quite a change from our normal accommodation. In this video, we'll take you inside our luxury hotel in Kochi, which includes an enormous room, a beautiful pool, amazing views, and the greatest breakfast buffet of our lives.

We left the US with no definite plans and decided to go wherever the cheapest flight takes us. We've been on the road full-time since July 2022. Come with us as we explore this beautiful world. We'll be sharing the good and the bad, the wild and the mundane, and all of our best travel tips to help with your own adventures.

The perfect time to be in the pool . Mid summer afternoon . What a pleasure. Its almost like finding a pond in a desert when u r looking for water 😂😂
That view is definitely worth the good bucks😅, have a nice stay.
Beautiful Kochi but definitely not the right time to visit it's very very hot October - January is the best time to visit but hopefully you guys have a great time

What is name of this hotel
If you stay in five star hotels in India,you will naturally love the place.
Try staying in two or three star hotels to discover the real India.
If you guys are in India then you must go to beaches in Andaman & Nicobar islands and in Lakshadweep
🇮🇳🇮🇳🚩🚩🚩🚩🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💐💐💐💐
Only this 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Grand hayat hotel, bolgatty cochin

Kochi me hai
Is 1 lakh/month salary enough to lead a luxurious life in India?
No
ben is that you
Lulu grand hayath
Do you think it's worth flying 16 hours for a 5-star hotel?
May not be their only day in India
I think, it. They are repeatedly saying that it is their first and the best experience in life, about the stay and food. You need to sacrifice something to gain something...it's my view only...
do u think its there only day my guy lol
You miss some valuable thinks
Welcome india
Kerala ❤ if she went to north she would have been scammed 😢
You have many such luxury hotels in north and eastern india friend. Oh yah you can have snow in some places. But it's in india, not in south , north, east or west. Wake up.

Are you jealous 😏😤
When you will visit Pakistan.
Pakistan is vast country most diversified cultures, mesmerising nature, lush green valies, beautiful beaches, towering mountains and top notch hospitality
