Overall Ratings & Reviews The Leela Kovalam, a Raviz Hotel

Beautiful sunset 180 degree views from both - top of the hill and from ground beach levels. Amazing Pan Asian restaurant - Tide on the beach front with live music is not to be missed.

Very upscale, excellent and attentive staff.

The experience was nothing short of fabulous. Ms. Sushmita at the front desk assisted us with a seamless checkin experience and explained about the facilities of the property along with the benefits of Leela DISCOVERY / GHA DISCOVERY membership. She also assisted in early checkin as we reached the property quite early and with extra time during checkout. She took care of my special request arranging for a small cake as it was my wife's birthday. The presentation of the cake was fabulous when it was delivered to our room. During our stay we tried the food (in room and dine in) from The Terrace restaurant and that too was fantastic. Interaction with Mr. Raj who assisted us with his excellent serving capabilities at the restaurant, is highly appreciated. Furthermore the interaction with Sous Chef Mr. Debnath was equally amazing and insightful to the say the least. Golf carts had lesser than 5 minutes waiting time throughout the property, which adds to the brilliant experience. The overall experience at The Leela Kovalam was fantastic and we'd love to revisit the property during our upcoming travel plans to Kovalam & Thiruvananthapuram. Kudos to the entire team at the property for showcasing hospitality that sets new standards for the industry to follow. Thank you very much for making our stay so memorable.

Excellent

Amazing place to stay , from A to Z perfect, the on duty Manager Krishnadas is a great guy thank you for everything.

We had an excellent stay at the Leela and would recommend this wonderful hotel to anyone considering it for the future. It is one of very few if not the only, cliff side hotel in India overlooking the beach. Special shoutout to Neethu and Krishnadas at the front desk - for always having a smiling face and ensuring we were always comfortable. Any issues we had were swiftly resolved by the team. The hospitality was amazing and every need was catered to. Truly a 5* experience. The Leela had exceeded our expectations and we have not had the same level of care at any other hotel we had stayed at before and even afterwards. Spa services were very clean and massages were excellent. The team were patient with us when coordinating 5 synchronised sessions. Finally to the chefs; the care taken of thinking about so many dishes and lives stations throughout each and every day was very evident. We even saw the head chef teaching the group of younger chefs how to make specific dishes. We can’t wait to visit again in the future!

Highly recommend staying here!! Pros- Service was top notch. Very clean. Staff was exceptionally polite and helpful. Cons- They need to have a few more dining options. The restaurants at the property are really good for breakfast/lunch/dinner but there are no great options for a quick snack. The property hosts events on the beachfront which can get pretty loud and limit the dining experience at the beach front restaurant/ nighttime walk on the beach.

Unique

Hotel tired Staff in large dining area very inexperienced and quality poor cold and not very clean

As good as it gets! Leela Kovalam is an amazing property with lush grounds, award-winning spa, private beach, excellent good, and an amazingly helpful and friendly staff.

It was a lovely stay at a very relaxing and welcoming property. The staff epitomized the gracious Keralan culture, attending to our every need. Don’t miss the spa (Favorite Kerala) on the property, and we also recommend arranging for the Poovar Backwater cruise through the hotel.

Comfortable, clean, friendly and helpful staff, well located.

The whole team at the Leela, Kovalam are just amazingly friendly, flexible and keen to please. Wonderful property. Great Beach access. Wonderful food. Great high standard rooms. Would highly recommend 10 out of 10 Dhiren and Shilpa Doshi, London

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.
