We arrived in Georgetown, beautiful city, culture, diversity, and food from all over … We stayed there at Angmor Hostel, a hotel run by volunteers and non-volunteers from all over the world. The atmosphere is young and fun, the staff that takes it are all young, from various parts of the world, who are there living and working. In the evening there are tours of street food and tourist visits, to go in a group, in a great atmosphere.

At the entrance there are sofas, table tennis, board games, and place to work, enjoy a good conversation … Whatever you want!

The rooms are correct, large, full of bunk beds, in a distribution that allows a minimum intimacy, with air conditioning and comfortable mattresses. The sinks are correct, with hot water to enjoy the shower.

And at night you can join the group to enjoy the company with some beers to share moments and learn a little more about the trips of others …

Kochi is a must-see city in India, the streets are filled with tourism and the city is full of hotels. We find the Treebo Bright Heritage Kochi, a 3 star colonial-style hotel located in the center of the city of Kochi, 3 minutes walk from the famous Chinese networks.

We loved this hotel from the first moment we entered, its wooden style, with a rustic point. The staff was super friendly and helped us all we needed.

They assigned us the most luxurious and spacious hotel room !! with a table and chairs as a small room. The bed was very big and with a canopy, worthy of a princess, Mayra was crazy in her princess bed, and I loved it too!

The mattress was great, super comfortable … The air conditioning delighted our moments of rest after the walks through the city. And the wifi worked perfectly, great, no problems.

The bathroom was very nice, it had decoration details that made it different. The shower with hot water of course.

Breakfast was served on the top floor where there was a small restaurant with a bar. It consists of a free buffet of Indian food. We liked everything and it was perfect to start the days of hiking to discover the corners of the area.

When arriving at Pondicherry we looked for a comfortable hotel and that it did not shoot us the budget. We found the Davis Grand Hotel. It is a hotel very well suited for our purpose. It is close to the train station, 10 minutes walk from the center or the most visited area.

The hotel is well equipped, clean and tidy. In Pondicherry you can find much better hotels, colonial style, but that is also reflected in the price. The hotel staff was super friendly and helpful, helping us in any need we had.

The room was very correct, clean and the bed was large and super comfortable. We also enjoy the air conditioning to avoid the heat from the outside. Availability of television to relax a bit with international news. The sink was spacious and with hot water, great. The wifi for our enjoyment worked perfectly. So it was a perfect accommodation to enjoy our visit to Pondicherry.

The breakfast was delivered to the room, typical Indian breakfast very rich !! Perfect to start the day with desire!

On the top floor there is a sports bar, perfect place to have a drink and enjoy a game of pool, table football or your favorite game !! It also has a terrace with views of the city, a place to let the fatigue of the day take the wind …

We arrived in Bangalore, and like all Indian cities it was a chaos of traffic and people. However this time we had an ace up our sleeve, we were going to stay at the Spring Hotel & Spa. A 4 star hotel of the most luxurious!

The lobby is all white, with minimalist decor, business people up and down. We waited in the sofas of the entrance to be assigned a room, the wait lasted less than we wanted, we were already busted from the trip and the sofa was very comfortable …

The room was perfect !! clean, with a sober but perfect decoration. The bed was great, the 30 cm high mattress was firm but soft, it was the most comfortable bed since we had embarked on this long trip … a pleasure !!!

The room was equipped with television and even a fridge. The sink had a large shower, like a small room, and of course hot water.

So it was to arrive, leave the luggage in a corner, turn on the air conditioning and shower, we were in paradise !!!! The wifi worked perfect !! And all the hotel staff was exquisite.

But this did not end here, the hotel, how its name says it has a spa !! We did not try any of the spa products, but we did bathe in the pool !! A great little outdoor pool !! surrounded by hammocks to stretch and relax …

The Hotel Spring Hotel & Spa has a large dining room, and there we enjoyed most of our meals, especially breakfast, with free buffet service, with all kinds of food, North Indian, South Indian, Western, even has a small place where a man makes your eggs to your liking !!! Do not forget to try the cheese omelet … exquisite …

Well, the hotel is also business oriented, that’s why it has a convention room. And on the top floor has a designer bar ideal for a drink at the end of the day.

And here we stopped this description, but not because of desire but because of lack of space, because in this hotel we had the rest we needed, it was a great battery charger … Spring Hotel & Spa, we will be back !!!!

GKM Grand Hotel and Guru Hotel (Port Blair, Andaman Islands, India)

The Andaman Islands belong to India but are closer to Thailand or Myanmar. The capital of the islands is Port Blair, and that’s where all the arrival flights to the island land.

In Port Blair we stayed 3 nights and we stayed GKM Grand Hotel, a 3 star hotel finished building. Everything is new and it shows in every corner of the hotel. Also the staff is super dedicated and they have everything under control down to the smallest detail. But the merit belongs to the owner, Guru Soumi, who is always there ensuring that everything is perfect.

They assigned us a room with a living room, television, and, of course, a big bed !! With the air conditioning we were able to rest from the heat, while we watched the international channels, until we discovered that we could connect USB on television to watch our movies!

The toilete was perfect, shower with hot water … yes, we know, but no matter how hot it is, we still like hot showers …

In the Andaman Islands the quality of the internet connection is quite bad, in this hotel we find the best connection quality of our entire stay in these islands.

We had breakfast at the restaurant, based on typical Indian dishes and an omelette, all very good! But the best was dinner, we had it included !!!! We asked the room service to bring it to the room, Indian curries with fish, prawns … everything was delicious! We all ate it in our little room while watching a movie on TV … a perfect way to end a day of sightseeing …

In addition, the owner of the hotel gave us a touristic route with his car through the most emblematic and touristic places of Port Blair, a detail! Thank you!!!

So our arrival in the Andaman Islands could not be better, with a good rest after long walks and visits to the touristic places in the area.

The hotel is a family business, and also has another hotel, Guru Hotel, this hotel is the same as the GKM but it has a few more years, although that is not reflected in a reduction in quality. This one is taken by Karan, the son of Guru, and he insisted that we visit this second hotel. As expert enchanted travelers we take a look to verify that it maintains the same quality as the newborn hotel, comfort, comfort and quality.

Coconhut Resort (Neil island, Andaman Islands, India)

We arrived at the island of Neil, an island with little influx of tourism, and less at the time of year that we were … We stayed at the Coconhut Resort … what a luxury place! It is a resort on the beach, between palm trees and blue waters.

The reception is simple, a counter in an open area, however the room fell in love … It was on the second floor of the main building, it was spacious, with an area with a table and chairs, the bed was large and fabulously comfortable!!!

The decoration we loved, wooden details with a painted wall of our favorite color !! The dark turquoise color (which surely has a name … that I do not know …).

On the wall we had a TV where we put our movies with a USB, while the air conditioning tempered our heats … So it’s nice to travel … pure rest and comfort. The wifi is free but it only works in reception, but hey, in all the Andaman Islands the connection is very limited …

The toilet was great, spacious, the shower with hot water … Everything very agreeable, everything very well prepared and everything destined and focused so that we had the best time in the island of Neil.

In the center of the property there is a large cabin that is the restaurant, there we have breakfast every day, Indian food, buffet style, all very good.

We also ate some day, and we loved it, so much so that some nights we asked that the room service take us dinner to the room to rest and enjoy a movie … pure rest and pleasure … and we did so .. Without any doubt, we will return !!!!
