When we first arrived at the hotel we were very impressed with the entrance lobby and surrounding areas, including the grounds and gardens which are very well attended. We were in a beach view superior room, which initially appeared to be good, albeit a little dated. On further inspection we found that at least 3 electrical sockets were loose in... More

I stayed here with my family for a week in November and found it to be a wonderful place to relax and get away from the hectic working life. The food was wonderful and the pool was great. Some of the spa treatments are more pricey than can be found elsewhere in the region. The only downside is that some... More

Don't stay at this Hotel if you want a quiet relaxing holiday! There are Mosques close by, one on the Beach approximately 1/4 mile away, so every morning there is chanting at around 5:30am. While we were there the first 3 days (2/2/12 to 4/2/12) were a nightmare as there was a local Religious Festival taking place. We had to... More

Stayed here at the beginning of February for 4 nights. Its a beautiful hotel in a great spot overlooking the sea. The grounds are lovely and well tended. The lobby areas are so relaxing, calm, spotless with comfy chairs. We stayed in the garden pavilion area and enjoyed relaxing in the hammocks. For anyone for cant manage the walk up... More

This was the final stop on a recent holiday to India and one that we'd assumed would be the pinnacle of our trip - it was overshadowed massively by Orange County, Kabini but even without that comparison I think we'd have felt a little let down by what was supposed to be a top quality hotel as it simply had...

We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of our trip to Kerala and I can't think of anywhere we would have rather stayed. The rooms are comfortable but what really makes this hotel are the incredible views and the beautiful pool. The beach is fine..but be aware it's no Maldives. The location of the hotel is also great... More

Your reviews were mostly excellent and having stayed at a fantastic Leela in Udaipur we were excited but left early very disappointed with both the hotel and the area. Generally the hotel rooms look sad and the service whilst very keen is let down by poor english and incompetence. For example at check one member of staff was responsible for... More
