The Leela Kovalam is an excellent place to spend your time with family. Very nice location and very excellent ambiance having all five star amenities and infrastructure. The swimming pools are very very relaxing where family can enjoy the water. The private beach is outstanding to chill with seawater and scuba diving. The dinning is also outstanding with fabulous manu. The traditional Kerala dance show in the evening by both dancer was very beautiful. The sky bar gives good vibes during the stay. The restaurant staffs are very very professional. Special thanks to mater chef and his team for preparing nice food. Finally, special thanks to Miss Akansha for the surprise birthday cake and her professionalism, as we were there for my sons birthday.

A fabulous hotel with exceptional service. The staff are fantastic and go the extra mile to help with any needs. As the hotel is situated on a hill, people have to walk up/down fairly steep walkways or climb up/down lots of steps. The hotel does provide a buggy service to drive people around, but it would be helpful if hand rails were installed along the walkways for guests wishing to walk.
