Forte Kochi

這是個美麗，小眾，具葡萄牙風情的當地高端品牌酒店。雖然入住時酒店幾乎滿房，我所有大大小小的要求，（包括因為怕吵換了兩次房間）無一不被滿足。到達當晚在泳池旁邊用餐邊欣賞當地傳統舞蹈音樂，燭光裏別有一番滋味。所有的工作人員都很友善專業。在新上任不久的主廚無微不至的關懷裡，用了幾天美味的早餐。之後沒吃完的水果盤也免費幫着送到房間。圖三是有200年之久的猶太人的療愈泉眼，至今還有許多猶太人專門來浸泡。酒店在很方便的位置，出門就是各種購物和景點。步行到海邊也衹要幾分鐘。

Upon arrival at Forte Kochi, we were greeted by smiling faces and provided excellent customer service! The beautiful building has been lovingly cared for and our room was large and provided space for us to relax after a busy day of walking the city. Food in the restaurant was excellent. Swimming in the pool after a busy day was very refreshing and rejuvenating.

Forte Kochi has become hands down one of my all time top stay experiences in India. From the check-in welcome to in-room facilities, the hotel lived up to its hype every single bit. We had a 1 night stay at the property and every moment we spent at the property was delightful. You're welcomed so warmly by the well-trained and friendly staff in the traditional way and then someone guides you through all the details of your booking and tells you more about the hotel. The rooms are fantastically done. Very well-maintained and beautifully decorated. There’s a seamless blend of the old with the new. You get the essence of living in a heritage building yet you get all the modern amenities you could ever think about, including the likes of mini freezer, iron, electronic safe, etc. Pool was clean. Loved the fact that they provided sunbeds & towels too. Every single aspect has been thoughtfully done so that all your needs are catered to. Food deserves a special mention too. The breakfast buffet was quite well stocked. From South Indian options to different varieties of breads, you will be spoilt for choices. Also loved the seafood platter we had for lunch and the pasta for dinner.  You can have candlelight dinner by the side of the pool while enjoying a traditional Kuchipudi performance. We also attended their morning heritage walk around the Fort Kochi neighbourhood. Our storyteller was very well informed and made the walk quite engaging. It was wonderful to dive deeper into the region's rich heritage and culture. The hospitality here really stayed with me. Definitely coming back in the future with my family to stay longer.
