We had a stay at the Hotel and had many first time concerns. The associates are very warm but the processes are a big miss. Our flight pick up got missed to start with. Was handled abruptly by the airport representative. Then was the first room which was allocated in the old wing, had a lot of concerns ranging from... More

The Leela property is huge and its beatiful. The property is located on a cliff with water and greenery all around. Top quality buffet and service. We took the beach view room, had a heritage look, had all the facilities, was good but not wow...view isnt that great either... The kovalam beach is nice, full of coconut trees... pretty crowded...

Excellent from the word go. Right from airport transfers, a warm traditional welcome,upgrade to a beach view, the restaurant and bar service, housekeeping, buggy rides, etc. were all with the traditional and warmth of God's own Leela!! The views were amazing - from the infinity pool to the sea. Our mornings sitting out and watching the waves gives you a... More

My friend and I spent 7 days doing the "wellness" package at the Leela. Can't recommend it highly enough. The club rooms are fantastic and you feel as though you are staying in a different resort from everyone else. I highly recommend the upgrade. The rooms are small but have everything you want. The service from the spa staff and... More

I traveled with family to this place, and would say it is one of the best family vacation options in South India. We wanted to have a calm, peaceful few days and got exactly that. We were also pleasantly surprised at being upgraded to the presidential suite, as against the two rooms that I'd blocked. The suite was fantastic and... More

Good things first - The Property and Location - The Leela is huge and spread out in acres of land. It is a mesmerizing property situated on a near perfect location! It did... More

The Leela has a reputation for being a lovely hotel (resort in this case), but I don't know that it justifies the price. The room we stayed in was very nice with polished finishes, nice dark furniture and a nice (uncovered) balcony with sea view. BUT... the room cost 3x as much as the hotel we stayed in the night...
