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

Our stay at the Leela was one of the most memorable getaways. It was great in every way. The rooms were beautiful, spacious, and clean. They were very cozy, and comfortable. We had booked the monsoon getaway, however, were dissapointed that the monsoon season was over. The heat was unbearable! Getting the all meals included deal was the best decision... more

This has been the best experience we have had. My wife and I have travelled all over the world and the stay at Leela has been the best. It was so nice that we tried to stay a little longer, but unfortunately the hotel was booked full. The staff is the best I have seen and the massage and food... more
