Nice resort good for a holiday with great ambiance and nice view to the beach. Nice place for all kinds of visitors. One place for all kinds of adventures and great spa options for Ayurvedic relaxations.

visited Leela at Udaipur and booked this just to experience another marvelous stay for a short vacation. A lot of good things here. The view of the ocean is Outstanding! You can relax, sun bathe and enjoy a quality time by the infinite poolside by the sea. The food is great! Chef Sudeep is super helpful (helped me with an Ayurvedic soup for my sore throat). Although breakfast can have a few more options, but the High Tea during sunset is mind-blowing! The servers seem to be a little overwhelmed during peak hours and need to be reminded on few basics couple of times but they do their best! The Spa and Yoga facilities are excellent! Do try them out. The yoga trainers are knowledgeable and overall with wellbeing, it was quite a holistic experience. What can be improved? The check in and check out experience! Manager Aji is helpful and does his best, Urmila needs to be reminded a couple of times on certain things, but overall the quality is affected. Not a very encouraging experience with the check in and check out, a few simple process improvements can make this experience worthwhile. A 5 star experience can easily come through for a Leela standard when the Staff during check-in and check-out pull up their socks. Else it remains a 4 star from me. :)

It's a very beautiful place. We had been there couple of times and we have enjoyed our stay every single time. They have boating and spa. Ayurvedic Spa is heavenly and very affordable.

It’s one of the unforgettable stays I had all over the world. The team is super cool and so welcoming. Mr Ajin explained about history of the hotel and it’s amazing. SPA team is so great and lovely! Never felt better after such Ayurveda treatments

We absolutely loved The Leela.
We absolutely loved The Leela. I stayed in a Club Room with my 11 year old son and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. We arrived in the middle of the night, we’re met promptly at the airport by Shaji, who gave us cold drinks and checked we were comfortable with his driving. It was about 30 minutes to the hotel, where our luggage was scanned and taken to our room and we were seated and given a drink, then check in was super quick and we were shown to our room to sleep. The room was immaculate and the bed was comfortable. There was a plentiful supply of water left daily, along with shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toothbrushes, toothpaste, comb, nail file, shower cap and loofah, plus the usual flannels and soap. The view from the balcony was the Arabian Sea. Breakfast was a plentiful buffet served in The Cafe, an exclusive area for Club residents, where there was also a complimentary Afternoon Tea served daily 5-6pm of a buffet light dinner and sweets with teas and coffees. There are a selection of restaurants and a private beach available to all guests and The Club has its own gym, lounge, library and pool, which is stunning. We were particularly impressed with Karuna, Deep and Kushi staff in The Club, who looked after us and entertained my son, Olly for the duration of our stay. We also arranged two trips out, one to the Elephant Sanctuary and another to the Backwaters for a boat ride, both time chauffeured fantastically by Shaji, who kept us safe, took us shopping and have us useful insight. The Spa is stunning and in a separate building at the entrance, with complimentary yoga daily at 8am overlooking the Arabian Sea. The Ayurveda treatments were amazing and we had full body massages, Shirohara oil treatments, foot massages and head, neck and shoulder massages-all highly recommended! I was apprehensive about booking in India, especially as a lone parent and concern over upset tums, but we needn’t have worried as The Leela was spotless and perfect and we’re looking forward to returning in a couple of years ☺️

This is one of the best property in kerala.
The staff was very cordial. This is one of the best property in kerala. The view fem our rooms were outstanding. The food was good to. Would certainly recommend to family and friends. The ayurveda spa there is exceptional. Will make sure we visit next year as well

The experience at the Favourite Kerala Ayurveda & Spa was fantastic. The ayurvedic massages, body scrubs and facials were truly one of a kind. In particular, Shinu, Bhavya, Jijesh, Sharth & Hima did such a wonderful job. Our entire family had an amazing experience at this spa and would truly recommend it to all who come to the Leela Hotel in Kovalem.

This was one of the best experiences I have had. The warm/hot oil and Ayurveda massage was amazing. I went to a different level of relaxation than I have experienced before as the oil streamed back and forth over my forehead. It was otherworldly. If you have not tried it yet, you must. You will not be disappointed. A premium experience from the time I arrived until the time I ,reluctantly, left.

I traveled to India for the first time mid-September and chose The Leela Kovalam for a nine day Ayurveda program. I read all the reviews here about the hotel being a bit outdated, and also knew ahead of time that The Leela chain had only taken over the running of the hotel three months ago and that the majority of the staff were new, having started to work at that time. I stayed in a Superior Sea View room and personally liked the Southern Indian style of the room and bathroom. People wanting a more modern room would be better off in the Club rooms or suites but for me, the very large room size and excellent terrace facing the palm trees and the beaches just North of the hotel was just perfect. Add to that an incredibly comfortable bed, I was very happy. My only suggestion would be that it would be nice to have had the option to not have my sheets and towels changed everyday so as to conserve water and electricity, but I think this may be uncommon in India. The hotel grounds are beautiful and you can tell that they are constantly taking care of them. From peacocks strolling around to Indian spotted eagles floating overhead, it was all just breathtaking. I can't really speak to the hotel's restaurant food as I was doing an Ayurveda program but friends who were dining in the main restaurant said that there was Western, South Indian, Asian and other cuisines and it was also quite tasty. The food prepared for me based on the Ayurveda doctor's menu was delicious and beautiful I also think that while the hotel's restaurant and Club Cafe may be a bit stark and too lit for a Westerner, that may change in time when the makeup of the guests change. As to my Ayurveda experience. I cannot say enough about Dr. Abhija, Vidya and Bhavya my treatment therapists and Sudheer the yoga guru. They were also simply incredible. It's obvious that Leela is updating things at the hotel at a steady pace and I am sure things will be even more amazing on my next visit. But truly, the magic of this hotel is in the people. from Prameesh who corresponded with me about arranging my stay. To Reshma and the whole front desk team who were there with a smile every hour of the day. And a special thank you to Chef Priyush Mishra for taking excellent care with my food, answering all my questions about Indian foods and prices and showing me the hotel's garden where they are starting to grow their produce. His chefs and team at the Club cafe were also incredible to me, Arun the host, Arun the chef and everyone else. In my opinion the value for money of the hotel and the Ayurveda program were fantastic and if this is what The Leela Ravit offered only three months in to their being a Leela property, I cannot wait to see how it all progresses. I will be visiting again for sure. Leela, you made me feel like family. Thank you so much.

Stayed here for two days. Reserved beachfront rooms, but was given the worst of all the beachfront rooms: one could hardly see the sea. They changed the rooms after complaints which was ok, but still we did not get the good rooms. They said they were all occupied. We booked the Rooms thru travel agent 6 months before, but still we had to wait many hours before the rooms were changed to beachfront. Restaurant staff need training in efficiency. Huge food and service delay. You order water and have to remind the waiters at least twice before they serve you. Food quality is ok. Infinity Pool area is beautiful. Hotel has both international and Ayurveda spa and is well maintained. Staff here were professional and friendly. The treatment quality is good. But the way reception handled our booking and poor service at restaurant made us not like this place. Will not go back here.

This hotel is definitely not worth 5 star. The property itself is nice but the quality of the service varies a lot! We had mornings when we waited our coffee half an hour and some times we did not get it at all! But we had also some good experiences from couple of cooks and waitsesses! Food itself was very tasty!They should not sell ayurveda packages!!! Some doctors and yoga and some therapists were really good and knew what they were doing but the concept is not worth of money! We got some refund because of the constructions that spoilt the pool experience totally! The noise and the smell was awfull! Not anything you expect for your auyrveda holiday!! Relaxing was not possible!
