Shangrilah Bungalow

Really lovely staff who made us feel valued. Amazing beach front location and a beach that really feels tropical island with scattered palm trees. (The rich and famous stay in the resort just along!) So quiet and relaxed and safe feeling -first time we’ve felt safe enough to leave things on beach when swimming. Super clean, cleaning every day if you leave your Key but they also give towels and new water every day too. Onsite food varied and good, cheapest dish rice and veg 80B, pad Thai 120B. We stayed in an air con standard bungalow which had its own little veranda you could sit and see the sea. Breakfast every day was okay and lovely to sit and look out to sea. There are a few restaurants and supermarket near only 5 min walk (Spices is nice) but the main part of Maenam is a 10 min walk. We walked along the beach often as main road busy (as the whole island is). The resort is well off the main road on a sleepy part v quiet - bliss! The only reason we left is because they had sold out of our bungalow so we moved on and we instantly regretted it, other places on island like Chaweng & Lamai are so commercialised you may as well not bother coming to an island you feel like you are in a busy dirty town.

Air con noisy and right above our heads so woke up. Dated interior but expected for good price.

Simply a perfect place to spend your holiday. Location right on the beach, swimming pool and restaurant serving delicious food. The most delightful and helpful staff. We will return to this wonderful place. Pictures are definitely representative for what you get - which is great.

We loved everything.

The staff is smiling, kind and efficient. The bungalows are rustic but functional with direct access to the sea. The pool with salt water is pleasant. Large pool and beach towels are provided free of charge. The beach and all the paths are carefully swept and cleaned every morning. Everything is impeccably clean. Shangrilah is a haven for lounging in beautiful surroundings.
