The Leaf on The Sands

Ray Loftus

A small and welcoming hotel set just back from the main road. The hotel is quiet despite being close to the road where there are many shops and restaurants. The Leaf was a good hotel to use for relaxing, enjoying the sun by the pools and having a lunch or drinks by the pool. Breakfast was good. We enjoyed our stay there and was very happy with the service from all staff. The only issue we saw was the way guests "reserved" sunbeds by the pools by placing their towels on the beds from early morning. This meant that some guests could not use a sun bed. The hotel has a few notices stating that reservation of beds is not allowed but, unfortunately, they do not enforce the rule. The leaf should stop guests doing this as it is unfair. Reinforce your own rules please.

Our last part of our 14 night vacation, staying here five days. As always, the greeting at reception from the team was excellent after a 2 1/2 hour journey/transfer from Krabi. The room was nice, however was a bit dated / in need of furbishment. The hotel itself was excellent. It’s sister hotel on the beach you could access the beach with a card reception supplied. The restaurant had access to the main drag through restaurant, which was great. Two pools one busier than the other. Staff extremely friendly. The only negative was the Wi-Fi you had to sit on the Veranda to get a good reception as apparently the boxes are scattered around the garden…. Other than that excellent stay, and would happily stay here again.

Great stay! Location is very good and close to the beach as well as general stores and restaurants. Room was very comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. Good value for money! The staff was very helpful and professional. We especially want to thank Oi, who made sure we had a vegan option for breakfast. She really went out of her way to assure the whole staff knew and took care of us! The breakfast buffet was decent, turns into an Italian restaurant in the evening, also recommended.

The pools have limited sunbed capacity and are often fully occupied early in the morning. The beach is a 10-minute walk away. Reception staff rarely greet guests. The hotel is attractive and set in a garden, but a major downside is that the staff often wakes you as early as 6 a.m. with leaf raking and similar activities.

We liked that this hotel was close to the main road without the noise. Lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance vs the Sands hotel which was a 7-8min walk down the road. The down side is from the Leaf you get beach access but there isn't much of a beach there anyways. The rooms were ok. We were un one of the small building that surround the pool behind the reception area. It was also close to the restaurant. Very dated rooms. Dim lighting and the dark wood in the bathroom did not help. Room was clean from what we could see. We enjoyed sitting outside the room on the deck and going back and forth to the pool with our stuff closeby. The breakfast was included and was a good mix of western and Thai food options. It is also a great Italian restaurant in the evenings. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful booking tours and taxis. The staff and convenience of the location with respect to amenities were the best part of the stay.
