The Leaf Oceanside by Katathani

Just returned from 2 great weeks at the Oceanleaf. I do not write a lot of reviews but felt compelled to do so to promote the fabulous, warm and friendly customer service we experienced. All the staff, both front of house and behind the scenes, when we met them, were extremely helpful. Special mention for Tong working hard behind the poolside bar, who, as well as serving great cocktails, was always happy to help us with our Thai language skills. A thoroughly enjoyable, relaxing 2 weeks for which we are both very grateful 🙏

Overall we were happy with this hotel, the staff, especially Lek at reception were friendly and helpful. Cleanliness was good, location...although not right on the beach it is only a very short walk away. The letdown sadly was our room location. We were in one of the few rooms right behind the rear of the hotel kitchen. We never slept in after 5.30am as there is a lot of noise from then on..clanging metal carts by the sound of it and loud voices. I gathered from other guests they didn't have the problem elsewhere on the site. Worth noting too that although there are two pools, one far more child friendly than the other, they don't make one of them adults only. Having kids bombing you constantly in the pool isn't great. Would make much more sense to keep them separate.

Sadly it’s our last day today. Have had a lovely 2 weeks staying at the Leaf Oceanside. To us it’s in a perfect location. Quite quiet with a few restaurants nearby and only a 10 minute walk from the main ‘drag’. Lovely beach only 2 minutes walk away with a few beachfront restaurants to the right. Top tips. If you think the mattress is a bit hard for your liking (they generally are in Thailand), ask for a mattress topper to make it softer. We had room 7124 which was ground floor with terrace overlooking the gardens. Perfect. Try the O Cafe round the corner (Green prawn curry is amazing!). Thank you to Tong at the bar who made us very welcome most nights when we had a last drink before going to bed. 😊. All staff on reception always greeted us with a smile and the lady who booked the trips by the front desk was very helpful.

Happy stay stayed at this great hotel for 12 nights booked direct with the hotel we stayed in a cottage room which had all our requirements and was kept clean and tidy by the housekeeper service the grounds and pool were just great breakfast had all the things we needed I would definitely recommend to everyone

Fabulous hotel. Beautiful big rooms and outstanding staff. The food was amazing especially for vegans. Lots of choice. Perfect location for trips and a two minute walk to the beach. In reception there is a lady who books taxis and trips so no need to book anything before you go. We loved the summers away from the pool under a palm tree on the grass. Very peaceful and you can have any drinks brought to you whilst relaxing. Really good value for money. We will be back soon!
