In-Depth Information
Note that many budget rooms are only available on a first come, first served basis and
often aren't even advertised on hotel websites. Many midrange resorts offer budget rooms
so take a look at all our listings to see each resort's (usually very big) price range. These
rooms book fast so it can be prudent to call ahead and find out what may be available be-
fore you arrive.
Sairee Beach
Giant Sairee is the longest and most developed strip on the island, with a string of dive
operations, bungalows, travel agencies, minimarkets and internet cafes. The northern end
is the prettiest and quietest while there's more of a party scene and noise from the bars to
the south. For most people, this is the choice beach to stay at since it has a great blend of
scenery and action.
