New year at the Leaf Oceanside 2015”

We booked the Leaf Oceanside for New Year 2015. We had a lovely relaxing stay at the Leaf Oceanside. It is in a great location and the staff were friendly and helpful. Our only issue was the New Year Eve Gala. At the time of booking it was mandatory to pay for the New Year Eve Gala which we were looking forward to. When we arrived on the 27th Dec work had started on preparing for the event this took until New Years Eve. On the night it started well with a baby elephant greeting customers in reception and that for us was where our evening’s entertainment at the Leaf Ocean side ended. We moved to our allocated seats which were placed precariously by the pool. The food was nice but limited and did not accommodate a fussy eater. The entertainment was of a poor standard. We left within half an hour, as did other customers as the evening went on We called back to collect our lanterns from the room around 10.30pm and only one family was left with staff dancing on the stage as all the customers must have felt the same. It had cost us £300 which we believe was not value for money and the drink prices were inflated for the evening. From speaking to other customers the Gala had previously been optional and I would strongly agree this should remain an optional extra. The Leaf Oceanside offers a fantastic location to explore Khao Lak and we were no disappointed with any other aspect of the holiday.

Fantastic, loved every moment at this resort”

We stayed at the Leaf Oceanside for 14 nights in a Leaf room. From our arrival at midnight, everything at this resort was excellent. Our room was spotlessly clean, nicely decorated and the bed was very comfortable. We know from previous experience that beds in Thailand are notoriously hard but this bed was one of the best we have slept in. Plenty of cupboard space and drawers, 3 large mirrors, lovely balcony with chairs and hanging rails and a nice view of the garden and the Leaf pool and hills in the distance. The bathroom was great with a huge shower, plenty of room for two in at one time. Breakfast was a lovely buffet, with enough selection to please, fresh fruit, yoghurts, bacon, ham, sausages, eggs any style, continental salads and cheese, and delicious Thai dishes which were different every day, lots of breads, croissants and danish pastries, with tea and coffee. We have read lots of negative comments about the breakfasts, and can only say that some people are obviously very hard to please, and should probably book 5 star resorts and pay a lot more, to get what they expect. We felt that this resort was wonderful value for money, and were extremely happy with everything. The staff were very pleasant and we found them attentive, and quick to try and please. The pools were sparkling clean, and being low season, there were plenty of deck chairs and umbrellas to go round. The pool towels were the best we have ever seen, super long, so that they covered the deck chair end to end. The gardens were well maintained and very tidy and pretty. Unfortunately for us, we arrived during the tail end of a cyclone in the area, so had lots of rain. It was very pleasant to sit on our balcony and read and drink coffee, and enjoy the tropical downpour. We loved the balcony for the privacy it afforded us, and preferred the Leaf rooms to the pool view rooms because of the privacy aspect. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach, and it was very convenient to ge

A great little resort, nestled in between the sea and hills! A haven of serenity”

Well-appointed rooms, all quiet and peaceful, and real convenient with a short 5-10mins walk out to Nang Thong Supermarket and shops, restaurants The resort grounds were well maintained, and staff were polite, helpful and attentive. Breakfast was simple and good, eggs prepared fresh, with real good bread and bacon, sausages ham etc etc etc, plus some local dishes too! Thank you wonderful team at Leaf Oceanside, am already all set for my next stay with you!

Peaceful high quality resort ”

I stayed here on a short 2 day stay in Khao Lak with my boyfriend and booked last minute. The price was still excellent seeing as it was the night before - cost around £18/£19 per night including breakfast for the two of us. The resort was spotless and well kept which was very inviting! The pool was lovely, and all of the loungers managed to get sun on them for the majority of the day. The room was spotless and balcony was spacious and clean unlike some other hotels which have bugs on them. Was quite quiet when I went (June) but it was relaxing, and just a 2 minute walk to the beach through a little walkway. The only down side was that the 'fitness room' only consisted of a tredmill and a cross trainer and was a tiny room - we booked specifically because it included a gym but didn't make a fuss. Staff were helpful when we wanted to stay an extra night, I highly recommend for couples or families!

Lovely quaint hotel with outstanding staff”

We were traveling asa couple and stayed for 9 nights in the Leaf. The rooms were very generous in size and they have a huge bed, which is very comfortable. The swimming pools could have done with cleaning more as there were scum marks and old suntan lotion stuck to the sides. And the pools were not temperature controlled, so at the end of the day they became very warm. The grounds were really well kept and it had a lovely atmosphere throughout the hotel. The food and drinks were reasonably priced and of good quality. It was only a 3 minute walk to the beach and a ten minute walk up to the main part of Khao Lak.

Great hotel”

Cannot fault this hotel. 3 couples first time in Khao Lak got a great price through Agoda for high season.Literally a couple of mins walk from the beach.great pool,apart from the amount of people saving loungers around the pool!! It was crazy,all loungers taken by 9am. Not really our thing but usually managed to find a couple spare by the time we wanted,or we went to Coconuts on the beach which have free sun loungers. We got upgraded to cottage rooms overlooking the pool which were a great size & veru big comfortable beds. Its a really great hotel with lovely staff.

Peter from Australia”

Great resort, great staff, great gardens and pools, great breakfast (especially the omelettes), only limited equipment in the fitness centre, great location, lots of good shops and restaurants within easy walk. Beach was not good at this time of the year, but we knew that before going. Would love to go back to Khao Lak and The Leaf anytime.

Wonderful Hotel”

The Leaf Oceanside is a great hotel and I would highly recommend. The rooms, pool and restaurant were clean, roomy, relaxing and comfortable. It is a short (2 mins) walk to the beach and about a 10 mins walk to the main road. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The food was good but if you don’t want to eat at the hotel, there are lots of other options on the main road. I would definitely stay there again.

Great staff at the hotel, but the reservation office has screwed up every single time we booked!”

Our group has stayed at the Leaf Oceanside 3 times since April 2019. On all three occasions, the bookings were lost, deleted, or we received the wrong rooms. Upon arrival the first time, we were told that we had never booked rooms at all. We then presented the desk staff with all of the confirmations which we printed out before we arrived. Even after showing them that the rooms were booked with confirmation ID's, we were still told that there was no bookings. It took 4 hours for us to finally get the rooms that were paid for by trip leader who arrived one day early just to be sure something like this didn't happen. We went on a cruise and then checked in again a few days later. In September 2019 we decided to book directly in order to avoid this chaos again. When I checked the with Katathani about reservation made in September and why we had not been invoiced for it yet? They again told us that no booking was made.

Fantastic hotel”

We stayed at The Leaf Oceanside for a family holiday and the rooms were spacious ,hotel was lovely and clean and in a great location . We had a problem with the room allocation when we booked in , not sure whether the problem was down to the hotel or Agoda but the hotel sorted it for us and we got the rooms that we had paid for and they gave us a free massage which was a nice gesture. Would stay here again and definitely would recommend.

“Quiet Haven in a Quiet Haven””

First time in Khao Lak for me and this hotel was suggested by a friend. I is located in street of quality hotels but reception is maybe 30 meters off the road (which is quiet any way) and all the room are further behind. from what i could see all the rooms have a view of the gardens and split level pool which is quite large. The rooms are modern and comfortable and I think all have a balcony. I found all of the staff extremely pleasant and helpful. All in all think the hotel is an excellent bargain. Room tip.rooms run away from reception for a shortish walk ask for a room close to reception, it will be close to the pool and parking also.

Great Stay!”

We had 5 nights at the Leaf Oceanside. Enjoyed the poolside villa. Nice size of room with plenty of space, clean and nice outlook of resort from the balcony. All staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice with different dishes offered daily. Great value for money.

Fantastic hotel”

Would definitely recommend The leaf Oceanside , it's a lovely ,clean ,well run hotel in a great location . 7 min walk and you're up at all the shops and restaurants . 1 min walk to the beach . The hotel staff are lovely too . Will definitely be going back there again .

A weekend break from Phuket”

We were very happy with the Leaf Oceanside in all respects. The kids loved the pool, breakfast was plentiful and the location was fine, though the weather when we were there didn't really warrant a visit to the nearby beach. The garden rooms were very spacious and clean and we couldn't have asked for more. Beyond the pool, there was little to do in the hotel, especially when raining, though that's not a lot different to anywhere else in the area and I know that when I booked. Excellent value for money in low season, I would stay there again and am happy with my choice for a long weekend break.

Great hotel with good pool, close to the beach”

We would definitely recommend this resort for couples and families with children. The rooms were large and clean with good facilities (fridge, kettle, AC, safe, balcony, shower room with towels and toiletries). There is also a self service laundry on site for 50bhat per wash. There were two pools with many sunbeds surrounding them and in the garden. Breakfast was included (egg station, bacon, sausage, cereal, fruit, bread/croissants) - the quality wasn't amazing but satisfactory. Restaurant food was available for lunch /dinner but not many people seemed to use it - the main road is <10min walk with greater selection and cheaper. There is a western style/import supermarket on the main road with reasonable prices. The beach is <5min walk. It was OK, but no sun loungers and very few bars/restaurants so we stayed by the pool. The checkin/front desk staff were helpful, although appeared a little confused by the process - no big problem for us. The staff around the hotel were really polite and friendly throughout and helped us whenever we needed it.

Great hotel to stay!”

We went to vacation at this hotel in Khao Lak and had a blast. The room was so clean and spacious. Great housekeeping services, spreading of flower petals around the bed on the second day. Love it!! Eat-all-you-can breakfast and have plenty choices of it. Definitely recommend to friends and families and will come back again if I visit to Khao Lak. We had a great time at swimming pool too.

Really nice hotel for individual travelers”

We've been here for 11 nights knowing that there is no direct beach connected. The hotel in 2nd row is a good location for individual travelers using rental car or taxi to visit locations and beaches around Khao Lak and having the comfort of a nice and valuable hotel in the back. Employees are very friendly and helpful. Overall we would recommend the location and come back again!

Best hotel in Thailand!”

Such a great stay. The staff was amazing, kind and welcoming.pools are awesome, room is clean, big, comfy. Good breakfast and good deals in restaurant. Great location. The best stay in Khao lak. Thank you!!

Excellent value for money ”

Recommend the leaf, second time I have stayed there. Staff are excellent always happy to help. Rooms cleaned daily and cleaned well. Close to restaurants, massage,mini mart and beach. Easy Walking distance to main town. Would definitely recommend and will stay here on my next trip to koh lak.

Ambience, Spacious & great neighbor ”

We booked last minutes when arrived to Khaolak for this weekend. Always nice and relax at the Leaf. Front office team were very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed happy hour by the pool side at 5pm. Breakfast next day was enough to covered with basic you needed. Lovely garden and layout make you feel so comfy & simple once you stepped in. One thing can be improve - AC in room is very noisy, however totally understand regarding hotel overall condition & refurbished. We will be back :)
