The Leaf Oceanside

5 great days at The Leaf Oceanside (on a few bookings). Everything went smoothly and their New Year’s eve decoration and set-up around the pool was the best in the area as far as we could tell. Not a great fan of Gala dinners in general but my yearly teen kids loved it. Pools are not large but sufficient (partly due to being split in two - but mostly teens and adults in one of them which works well). Beach close by but given ‘second row’ then no sea breeze at hotel which makes it slightly more hot than a beach front hotels but also fewer insects. The vibe and hotel design outweighted the beach front hotels in my view (maybe aside from a few huts just by the beach at the Nang Thong resort). Lots if Scandinavians at the Leaf hotel (you pick yourself whether this is a plus or a minus 😀). Good buffet breakfast.
