Stayed at the Leela over new year 2008/2009. The location of the hotel and the hotel itself were very beautiful, however the service was extremely poor, an example of this is when I asked one of the service staff around the pool if could get a beer one afternoon and his reply was "could you go and get one from... more

Most club rooms offer an unparalleled view, built at the edge of a clifftop. Some rooms are set a little further back without quite as great a view and one room 1407 has a palm tree right in front of the balcony, obscuring much of the view. We were initially given this room but after complaining to the manager he... more

What a location, fantastic unbeatable views from your room over the sea and around the bay. On the cliff but a short walk down to its own private beach which offered comfortable and safe bathing. Also close enough to watch local fishermen coming in - but security protected guests from any hassle from souvenir sellers, Also close enough to walk... more

I read reviews of the hotel before choosing it and the reviews together with the description of services and rooms made me choose a club room. I usually don’t stay at Kempinski hotels, being an Intercontinental fan myself, but I decided to give it a try lowering my expectations about service. The arrival service at the airport was great (directly... more

!! AVOID THE BEACH ROOMS !! Short version: - AVOID THE BEACH ROOMS AT ALL COST (YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED) - The other rooms are not up to standard either. - Service is badly executed, - Beach is small, far and dirty (polluted). Long version: I had booked the Deluxe Beach Room as a "surprise" for my girl, at 230£/night... more

Stayed here for 10 nights and loved it. Lovely room, gorgeous resort, good food, and in a great location to go to other restaurants (you must try some along the beach - I can't remember the names of them but they're all super cheap with food is fabulous). Nice pool area. The best part though was pre-dinner drinks in the... more

The Leela is indeed a superb hotel and was an ideal location for our honeymoon. The lobby and main part of the hotel are beautifully decorated; the staff obviously take great pride in the hotel's appearance. On arrival we were welcomed with a fresh coconut and a sea-shell necklace, and seated in the lobby whilst they checked our room was... more

We just spent 4 nights at the Leela Kovalam with our 2 year old son. We had a great time there. A very relaxed and enjoyable vacation. We had booked beach view superior rooms but were upgraded to the Club rooms, which seems to be a pretty common thing, judging from previous reviews. The Club rooms are very modern and... more
