The Leaf Oceanside

Beautiful hotel with friendly and attentive staff. Would 100% stay here again. Hotel grounds are well maintained and rooms very clean. Pool is lovely and the bar is well stocked and reasonably priced. The hotel is within walking distance of many bars and restaurants and there is a lovely lady in reception that can help with trips and taxis. Great for couples and families. We came in low season so it was quite quiet, exactly what we were after - a lovely relaxing week after the more hectic Phuket.

About a 6 minute walk back to the main strip. Lots of eateries along the way. 20 metres to the beach. Hotel has all day dining reasonable prices for western food. Rooms were great with a large balcony looking down on the resort. Breakfast was also decent. Great value for money. £22 incl breakfast A few places to mention. Woods bar 100 metres is decent shows sports and then the Soul cafe up on the main strip. Seems to be lovely all the time

Absolutely excellent stay. The hotel and rooms were clean. Staff couldn’t do enough for you, being polite, friendly and helpful at all times. The location was perfect. The hotel offered easy access to the beach being a two minute walk, access to shops and restaurants were again a very short walk away. Food at the hotel was good and always fresh. Will definitely be returning and would highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Leaf Oceanside! From the moment we arrived, staff were helpful and friendly. They greeted us like old friends. We arrived before the 2pm check in but they sorted out our room sooner at 1pm. Even still, they apologised for the wait!! The room was absolutely spotless and huge. Twin beds as requested with a large bathroom, air conditioning and a balcony overlooking the garden. The shower gel in the bathroom smelt amazing and it was nicer on my skin than the one I brought with me! It was a small hotel but because of this, you quickly become acquainted with the staff and other guests which was lovely. There were only a few children when we visited at the start of July who were quiet and well-behaved which we really appreciated! The restaurant on site was absolutely beautiful. We didn’t venture out to other establishments until our last couple of nights because we enjoyed the food so much and the prices were fantastic. Breakfast was so tasty and although there wasn’t much variety day to day (other than the juices and the Thai dishes), there was something for everyone! Drinks were very affordable, we particularly enjoyed getting two frozen mocktails which cost 110 baht each. The lychee and the pink guava were especially delicious! Smoking is limited to your room balcony and the designated smoking area which I thought was a lovely idea. As a smoker myself, I didn’t find it inconvenient at all and it also stopped the hotel smelling the cigarette smoke. The grounds are well kept and full of greenery. It feels like a tropical paradise with orchids growing from the palm trees and wild fruit. There was a resident monitor lizard hanging around by the pool who was totally unbothered by the people around and fascinating to watch. We had multiple massages under the cabana outside, even when it was raining, it was cool and dry with fans on the ceilings. The massage therapists were phenomenal and we left each massage feeling like we were floating! They found all of our problem areas without us having to say a word in advance. The location is fantastic with access to the beach literally across the road. It’s beautiful but it’s a shame there’s quite a lot of litter! It takes around 10 minutes to walk to the main road from the hotel and 15 mins to the 7/11 but this was no issue for us as we appreciated being away from the bustle of the main road. There were only a couple of negative things to mention from our week stay. There was a gap somewhere in our bathroom either under the sink or the bathroom window, which allowed geckos and mosquitoes into our room. We got bitten to death every night which was a shame despite going through a whole bottle of Soffell mosquito spray every other day. It might be worth the staff checking that room (7482) to identify where the issue is. The hotel also had construction work which we understood to be an urgent repair of the reception roof damaged by the weather and unable to wait. However, while we were there, new paths were also being laid, the driveway was being redone and the noise was incredibly disruptive the whole week. We weren’t given any notice about the non-essential building work and as we booked nearly a year in advance, I would’ve expected to have been informed as early as possible or offered compensation on our stay for the constant noise. However, I understand and empathise with them that the roof repair was not anticipated. You could wash clothes on site but the dryer was out of order. This was slightly problematic as the humidity from the monsoon season meant that nothing dried on the balcony overnight. All in all, the hotel was fantastic and we would absolutely stay here again. The warmth and helpfulness of the staff made us feel at home immediately and we were very sad to leave! A special thank you to Ta in the restaurant, the bellboy and the lady in reception who helped us with excursion and transportation. Thank you for having us! We understand why so many people come back year after year. We hope to visit again in the future :)

15yo son and I just spent 9 nights in a Cottage Room at Leaf Oceanside. Amazing holiday. Our room number was 7424 which is upstairs and has amazing views of resort and mountains behind. Staff are incredible, thank you so much. Value for money, a terrific hotel, great location close to beach and main shops.
