We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of our trip to Kerala and I can't think of anywhere we would have rather stayed. The rooms are comfortable but what really makes this hotel are the incredible views and the beautiful pool. The beach is fine..but be aware it's no Maldives. The location of the hotel is also great... More

Your reviews were mostly excellent and having stayed at a fantastic Leela in Udaipur we were excited but left early very disappointed with both the hotel and the area. Generally the hotel rooms look sad and the service whilst very keen is let down by poor english and incompetence. For example at check one member of staff was responsible for... More

a lovely resort cleverly perched atop a cliff, with its own private beach!! choose between the cliffside rooms or ones on the beach.......a lovely buggy ride down a winding little road connects the two.or choose to walk uphill (test your fitness levels!). Enjoy the sunset, from a stunningly perched bar on the cliff, or the beach....and a morning cuppa on... More

We visited the Leela after a week in the North travelling round so we were ready for a rest and relax, and that's exactly what we got. We found all the staff to be attentive , polite and happy to help make our stay a pleasure. We actually only ate in the hotel twice apart from breakfast , the food... More

This is a great hotel/resort, there is no doubt about it. The setting is like in a fairy tale, perched on a cliff and with beautiful views of the beach, sea, sunset and others. The staff is super-responsive and helpful, and very courteous and polite. The amenities are great, including restaurants with fantastic ambience, a great pool area, spa, salon... More

We took the Summer Getaway Package to the Leela this May (13th to 15th May 2011). I and my friend had the most pampered time of our lives at this resort. We stayed at the Beach View Superior Room which had a sun deck/balcony and was the perfect place to curl up with a book. We dined at the Terrace... More

When I read about the lagging service here I thought it would have been probably a one off thing. Sadly that was not the case. The service was really bad even in my case. So even though the property is good it's let down immensely by the service. Not worth the money I spent... More

Our first hotel in our 14 day tour of Kerala and wow! what a start! Leela welcomed us warmly, we had the garden pavilion room which was beautiful although a little dark for such a sunny place. The service was faultless. Bathroom was big although couldn't work out why there was a towel rail by the toilet where one would... More

I am Indian by birth but my husband is an Aussie. We toured Sth. India for 20 days. Prior to The Leela we had a terrible experience in another hotel. The Leela did everything to remedy this. Our room was lovely, service was good and the buffet was delicious. I hear they have won many awards for their cuisine! The... More
