“Shiralea Backpackers Resort strikes me as a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers in Haad Yao, with its inviting pool and bungalows set amongst the sounds of the forest. I particularly like that even the budget rooms have balconies with hammocks for relaxing. It seems a perfectly acceptable place to unwind, especially given its proximity to the beach.”

Feedback about Shiralea Resort from previous guests about their experience
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Shiralea Resort is a popular choice, especially for younger travelers, offering a village-like atmosphere with appealing facilities like a gym and pool. The location is convenient, just a short walk to the beach and near various restaurants and a 7/11. You can also enjoy on-site dining at the bar and restaurant, and while most find the accommodation comfortable, some guests have noted that the fan-cooled cabins are less so compared to the air-conditioned ones.

the pool seemed decent enough for a quick dip after a long day.
I stayed in a "beautiful bungalow" that felt anything but beautiful. the room wasn't cleaned once during my three nights, and i had to ask for fresh towels and toilet paper. the air conditioning barely functioned. It was more like a fan blowing warm air around..
