Hotel is in a great location overlooking a beach. We arranged hotel car pick up from Trivadrum airport which was very convenient and not too expensive. Check-in was efficient and staff are attentive. Buffet breakfasts are outdoors which is very nice but can be taken inside where the food is served. Transport to beach is by buggy and can be... More

The hotel feels as though it should stick to what it looks like it does best and cater to tour companies and business groups - leave the spa and relaxation experience to those better suited and hotels who know how to perfect this experience. A truly disappointing stay at a hotel chain, which I thought knew better. Staff were intrusive,... More

Having stayed at the Leela in Gurgaon twice before, I was expecting the same standards in room, service and staff. To my surprise....not even close!!! Before deciding on Leela Kovalam, I searched through almost all reviews on Trip Advisor, there was a toss up between this and Taj as both had mixed reviews. But having been to a Leela I... More

Excellent for a family vacation in Kerala. Good location, a private beach... excellent service. Indian cuisine is good esp. the breakfast is excellent. Thai food is average, it has an two pools one at the bottom and one near the dining place. View form dining area is superb.

Stayed in The Leela, Kovalam for a conference in 1st week of May 13. The twin sharing beach-side villa rooms were very nice. Leela has a very small pvt beach which is an extension of actual beach which is not so long. The views from restaurant and walk thro' to the beach is amazing. Service was good and upto mark.... More

outside property is maintained well but not the cottages. most of the things inside the cottage needs a change like bath tub,doors, furnitures etc Lot of communication problems between the employees right from the front office to the housekeeping department food not up to the mark, definitely not the leela standard overall it is just a average property

My stay at The Leela, Kovalam Beach was like living in the lap of luxury. I stayed in the Club Wing and was pampered throughout my stay like a VIP. From the car ( a Nissan) they send to pick you up from the airport, to the management personally coming over and asking you about your tastes and likes, to... More

Excellent location, nicely maintained and awsome location. Only downside is that the beach is not private. nice infinity pool and sea deck. stayed there for 3 nights. restaurant is nicely laid out just next to the pool. Food could be better in selection of menu, variety and preparation.
