Of the 5 hotels stayed in at Thailand, the most time was spent at this one. Perfect chilling spots at the pool or bar during the day, and a great vibe at the bar at night. Friendly, helpful, English and Thai speaking staff that are more than happy to point you in the right direction, or simply have a chat.... More

venue is gorgeous, rooms are spacious and staff are brilliant. As a 'backpackers' choice this is miles ahead of any other backpacker option I have stayed in, after spending time in various 12 bed dorms this was a breath of fresh air, 2 double beds per room meant you had the space id been craving for ages, private pool, great...

First time in Thailand, definitely not the last. I would totally recommend staying here. The resort as a whole was utterly fantastic from the friendly staff to the excellent food. Calm and relaxed atmosphere. Two minute walk from the beach. Doesn't get any better.

I had the pleasure of visiting shiralea on my contiki tour. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Best parts for me was the great food, breakfast being freshly prepared and served till late and of course the bell in the bar. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun party vibe whilst in koh phangan.

This place really is your home away from home, definitely... More

I would absolutely stay here again . The staff were friendly, it had a nice atmosphere in the evenings, and very chilled during the day. Nice cool lounge area and very clean. The pool was lovely any time of the day. Would stay here again for sure!
