Pros:

Forte Kochi is in a brilliant location with access to major sites in Kochi. Staff were incredibly helpful and kind - to top it off the food in the restaurant was outstanding
Highly recommend!!

Cons:

The pool wasn't used as much as I would have liked. Additionally, the spa could've been made more accessible - shouldn't detract from how good the staff and other facilities were

Best hotel ever!!!
Pros:

One of the world’s best hotels!!! The staff is AMAZING! The rooms are fantastic, the pool is lovely. Don’t forget to have an Ayurvedic massage! The chef is extremely talented: I recommend alleppey fish curry, beef fry with coconut, and stew with appam. Again: the staff is extraordinarily friendly, kind, and caring. Their attention to detail, the way they take such care of the guests is unparalleled.

It was great! One of the best five star experience I have had !
Pros:

We had an issue with the room but the hotel staff went out of their way to accommodate as a five star should! Shout out to the manager for his kindness and courtesy

Cons:

The rooms size should have been slightly bigger for the price and the toilets in the property outside of thr room are too simple for a five star
