We had been to the Terrace frequently .... Couple of times we chose to sit in the outdoor where the service is quite good .... Recently when we visited, we wanted to try out the indoor restaurant which turned out to be a pretty bad experience .... the service is not up to the standards of a 5 star hotel... More

Admittedly we did'nt stay in the hotel, just had dinner in the pool restauant. It is unbelievable how overprize dinner was though. Although the food itself was very good there cannot be any justification to charge twice as much for a bottle of beer then a perfectly decent restaurant down the road. There are no side dishes like rice or... More

You might feel the wind would blow you away. Extremely windy terrace and Water splashes you all around. A thrilling and breathtaking experience. The sea around has an overpowering presence, its roar blurs every other sound in the backdrop.

We stayed in Kovalam for a couple of months in the beginning of 2010, not at the Leela - but we used to go to their Sunday Brunch. For about Rs 1300 per person you get to enjoy the wonderful buffet with salads, main courses and desserts - and then relax by the beautiful infinite pool for the rest of... More
