It was an unforgettably beautiful trip, everything was perfect and better than I could have hoped for, we came back deeply relaxed and it will have an effect for a long time to come, the hotel is breathtakingly beautiful, the people so loving, friendly and helpful and the treatments a dream.

Absolute dream accommodation with outstanding service

We've stayed in some top hotels before - but the Leela Kovalam has set new standards in terms of service and friendliness. The team in "The Cafe" and "Spa" in particular were so incredibly friendly and attentive that it was very difficult for us to say goodbye.
