This resort is a great place to stay. We stayed here with our grown up daughter and we all enjoyed our stay. The staff (including Em,who only started work the day of our arrival), were helpful, polite and knowledgeable of the area. The pool was lovely, even entertaining, when the dive school practiced there. The only downside was a lack... More

I arrived in Koh Phangan after some disappointing experiences on the Andaman Coast, and from the minute I arrived, I knew I was going to be happy there. The surroundings are beautiful - the resort is surrounded by lush jungle, and the grounds are well maintained. The common area is inviting and fun, the perfect spot to chill on your... More

It's hard to be objective about shiralea, the place and the people really were the highlight of my trip to phangnan. The facilities are excellent. Clean, spacious, well fitted. Every bungalo comes with a hammock, porch and hot water. The bar is excellent, serving Thai and western food for the same rate or even much cheaper than any restaurants on... More

I was recently lucky enough to be backpacking around Thailand with some mates and without doubt the highlight of our trip was our time on Kho Phangan...... we were going just to stay for a few nights and it turned into several weeks, the main reason for this was the AMAZING time we had at Shiralea Resort......they call themselves a...

We booked Shiralea for 3 nights, with a group of 4. After a taxing trip to get to Ko Phangnan, Shiralea was a great place to recharge and refresh. Even though 3 of our group had food poisioning (not from Shiralea) we were still able to enjoy and relax in the surrounds of Shiralea. It is alot quieter and chilled... More

Staying at the Shiralea has made my "Island experience" a memorable one. They have by far exceeded all of my expectations. Even though I could rant for years to come about the tantalizing food, completely chilled ambiance, beautiful landscaping and incredible accommodation, the thing that made my stay at the Shiralea memorable, has got to be the staff. Richy and... More

Shiralea is a hidden gem on Koh Phangan. This was my 3rd trip back and I am so glad I found this place. My girlfriend and I spent 5 days here and they were awesome. It is located on the west side of the island which is perfect for getting away from Full Moon madness but you are close enough... More
