    “The location is the best you can get. We were welcomed warmly and the check-in was smooth. The pool is facing the sea, so you can expect to enjoy the best swim. The rooms facing the sea have a little balcony to enjoy the sounds of nature. I will also mention about the staff member Nikki who arranged a packed breakfast for us since we had an early morning departing flight.”

  • Excellent stay

    “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Fabulous – A Beautiful Experience! We had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Leela Kovalam. From the moment we arrived, everything felt beautiful, peaceful and luxurious. The location is breathtaking, with stunning views of the Arabian Sea, beautiful surroundings and such a relaxing atmosphere. The resort was very well maintained, clean and comfortable, and the staff were warm, welcoming and attentive throughout our stay. The hospitality really made a difference — we felt looked after and genuinely enjoyed our time there. The views were definitely one of the highlights for me. Waking up surrounded by the sea, greenery and the sound of the waves was just magical. The pool and resort grounds were gorgeous, and it was the perfect place to relax and switch off. The food was also lovely, with plenty of choice and a beautiful setting to enjoy it in. Overall, The Leela Kovalam gave us exactly the kind of experience we were hoping for in Kerala — beautiful scenery, excellent hospitality, comfort and a true luxury resort feeling. I would happily stay here again and have no hesitation recommending it. A fabulous and memorable stay! ❤️🌴🌊”
