Feedback about The Leela Kovalam, A Raviz Hotel from previous guests about their experience
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently commend the hotel's breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea and the enjoyable sea activities. The royal and club rooms are appreciated for offering ocean views. While many find the breakfast variety vast and the South Indian food spectacular, some guests have noted that the rooms have an antique style, so don't expect modern looks. The private beach access is a definite plus for a peaceful experience.

a mixed experience

amazing instructor trained instructor quick service tiny bathroom unhelpful manager
The yoga instructor mukta was amazing. i had a lovely one hour yoga session at the sea side. it was a blissful experience under the guidance of a trained instructor with people of different nationalities. i liked jobi, sushmita and jithin. They were very kind to us. they services were quick and good.
reservations had so many mistakes. they booked two rooms in error. then they had to cancel both rooms, so we had to rebook a lower class room. the club room is too small, and the bathroom is tiny. even after raising this to the duty manager, he did nothing to help address the situation.

The yoga sessions were relaxing and enjoyable. Muktha, the yoga instructor, was skilled. Each staff member greeted me with a smile. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful (i felt so welcome!). The security guard was always courteous.

i want to express my sincere appreciation for the team at this resort. from the yoga instructor muktha who was skilled and made each class enjoyable to every staff member from reception to security, each person greeted me always with a smile. the entire experience seemed like a true retreat, so relaxing and restorative.
during my stay, i found the restaurant service to be somewhat slow, especially the a la carte food and beverages. while the quality was excellent, the waiting times affected the flow of the dining experience just a tad.
