Shiralea Backpackers Resort Reviews

The NZ guys that work at the bar are awesome..the pool was really refreshing and nice..the bungalows were cute..my only complaint would be that it's a little bit too far from inexpensive amenities..like street food..the only places to eat were expensive restaurants..not expensive compared to Western standards..but 150+ baht for a plate of food..in comparison to 40-50 baht for a plate from a street cart. But if I had a bit more cash, and enough to rent a scooter..I would def. want to go back!

The facilities are very well maintained, the food they serve is among the best we have had on the island. Would have been a very plesant stay, if it had not been for the bed buggs that we got there. The employee from the reception was not interested in this problem and would not let us change the bungalow (even though there where plenty of free once) prefered to continue drinking with his buddy at the bar. This forced us to spent one night by the pool until we could check in into a hotel.

amazing and lovely place!

A very cool place to stay! All ages, all nationalities. Great fun. The area itself is quiet but that's good. You can enjoy in peace the paradise. Or you can join in the craziness at the site bar, joys bar. Get painted up and go to the moon parties as a group! It's literally for everyone of all ages. The staff are great! Be warned, if you go out with them to pirate parties etc, be prepared for a nasty hangover after drinking whiskey buckets! But so worth it!! Loved it!!!
