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.

The Leela Kovalam is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. The hotel staff go over and beyond to make your stay and experience a very comfortable one. The dining experience is also fantastic where you get to savour local Kerala delicacies. This place is highly recommended whilst visiting Trivandrum.

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!

Chaotic and disappointing

Chaotic on arrival. Billing was a mess during checkout. Complimentary water bottles (the only available drinking water in the room) could not be opened the day we arrived. And the phone didn’t work so no calls could go through. And no safe in the room. Overall, disappointing.

Beautiful location and hotel, room staff was great but knocked on your door every day asking if you need anything. Room service messed up order but quickly fixed them. The service at the restaurant was below average because of the wait times and restaurant was empty. Cannot order different drinks at sky bar only set menu of 4 drinks, and could not get into the 2nd pool or restaurant because it was club access only. Spa was pretty but massages weren’t up to par. Transportation was easy and drivers friendly. Pools close by 8pm, did not allow drinks or food near it, and beach access was restricted for the week we stayed here. All the game rooms closed by 8:30pm also. I enjoyed my stay but do not think I’ll stay here again.
