Emily: We put my mom and Judi in a suite, and Daraius and I stayed in a regular room for 15,000 Hyatt points a night to save cash. The room costs $220 per night, so this wasn’t an exceptional use of our points. But it was free!
Park Hyatt Goa, Park King
The regular room was nice but was much smaller than my mom’s suite.
The room wasn’t huge, but there was still a desk and chair in the room.

And a back porch with a garden (bushes) view. No sea view for us!
Garden View
The desk, bed, and chair were all in the same room.

The TV and mini-bar was to the side.

There was a small closet to store our clothes.

The bathroom had a shower and a bathtub.
Vanity
But there were no rose petals or bath oil, like in the suite.
Bathtub
There was an outdoor shower, but it only had cold water.

It could also use a coat of paint!

We had a lounge chair and table on our patio, but we were hardly in our room.

It was a nice room, but I was happy that my mom was in the suite and not in the regular room!

@Diana- Daraius and I exercise at least 3x/week when we’re home, and eat in moderation. We also try to drink lots of water and stay away from soda and other sweetened drinks.
Very nice pictures. The grounds of the hotel look lovely. I hope you will include more pictures of the hotel rather than just your room. It will give people a better idea of the hotel’s amenities.

That room looks royal. With a weighing scale 🙂 btw, how do you manage to stay fit on vacation!
