How about a villa close to the laguna complex but much nicer and cheaper, 5 mins walk to bangtao beach and all the restaurants !

OK - where???

Thaibali - does the budget stretch to 750 usd per night?

Blimey - bit steep - even split between between me and Mr CC (Snr)...

To be honest the only place I've seen on Phuket that's a fairly sensible budget and I actually like the look of is the place Huggy suggested (unbelievably, given how many hotels there must be on Phuket) ... if I can't book that, looks like we'll be going to Samui!

It depends on when you want to go but it is never that much even at Xmas/NY !, also depends on how many of you there are, for 2-3 people then yes expensive, however it sleeps 7 so if there are more of you works out much cheaper than hotel !

Googled it - agree it looks lovely - but for 4 adults + 1 child it seems too expensive for a 13 night stay over Crimbo/New Yr - their budget is roughly GBP150 per room per night, so say Bt 10k incl taxes.

All Seasons seems to fit the bill so far, but I never like choosing from a shortlist of one ... there MUST be something else decent available on Phuket for that much dosh, surely?

I've been to Patong - if you're claiming that is 'laid back' - time you had a double espresso my friend ...

150 squid per night per room means 300 for two rooms, last crimbo was going for US$ 650 per night so not far off at all. bear in mind most decent hotels will sting you for new years gala dinner whether you want it or not !.

Never was any good at maths ... OK, will have another look

Appreciate there'll be new year gala dinner silliness on top but think that's 99% unavoidable these days

Wooow..... US$ 1,000 deposit, and returned 7 working (yes, WORKING) days after check-out. And what happens if you are back in your home country trying to get your deposit back. I would pass on those terms.

[donna]

so would i. those terms are unreasonable.
