The last time I visited Mumbai I stayed in a cheap $50 a night hotel in a busy market area. This time I'm experiencing the luxury version of a Mumbai vacation; a $300 a night hotel with direct access to the city's most popular beach.

Juhu Beach and the surrounding Juhu area are a lot more peaceful than the busy Crawford Market area that I stayed in before.

I tried to check in to my hotel, the JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu, at 13:30 but they didn't have my room available yet. Rather than making me wait around, they found a room in a lower category and offered it to me to relax and freshen up in while the room that I'd paid for was made available.

When I finally got my hotel room, the first thing I did was sort out the mini bar situation. I never feel settled in until I've packed the fridge with my own snacks and drinks. As I was staying for 7 days, it was a must, and better to get that chore out the way right at the beginning.

I used the Blinkit app to order my goodies, rather than go to a local grocery store. I've been doing that in all my previous hotel stays in India and it usually saves me a lot of hassle. Although this time, it wasn't so easy.

After enjoying high tea in the executive lounge, I went out to explore Mumbai's famous Juhu Beach. My first impressions were that it was massive, and quite clean considering how crowded it was.

Juhu isn't like other beaches I've visited in India where there are loads of vendors scattered around everywhere. Instead, there seems to be one section for food and drink, with actual bricks and mortar shops set up.

I ordered a nice, refreshing kulfi falooda from one of those restaurants. The perfect Desi snack / drink to enjoy while walking along the beach.

After enjoying the beach walk and a swim in the hotel's amazing pool, that I had the privilege of enjoying all to myself, I had an early night and woke up nice and early to enjoy the hotel breakfast buffet.

It's rare that I can manage to get up that early, but being the first guest to arrive at breakfast as soon as it opens is an awesome experience. No crowds of people, and all the food fresh and untouched.

The breakfast buffets at Indian luxury hotels are always fantastic, with a wide range of Indian and international foods. I did what I usually do, and enjoyed a plate of both. I enjoy the western food as it makes me feel at home, and I enjoy the Indian food because I'm in India, and at the buffets I don't have to choose between them, I can eat both.

After a long morning walk on Juhu beach I went out to explore the Juhu area, but you'll have to wait until the next vlog to see that.
