We are going to Thailand in August, specifically to Phuket and around the islands. We want a hotel room with a jacuzzi and a nice view, but at an affordable price. Anyone know of any?

Cheers

I went to Thailand to celebrate my New years last year.

I found this website pretty useful for hotel information and booking.

http://www.asiatravel.com

If you are going to Phuket, stay at Patong Beach. We stayed at Hotel Horizon Beach Resort. A very good hotel and definitely worth the trip. Another good one is Holiday Inn, Patong Beach, Phuket (next to Horizon).

Advantages -
1) Hotel overlooking the beach.
2) Has a money changer, which is located just between the two hotels.
3) English speaking staff (language can be a problem in Thailand)
4) Easy accessibility to the main Patong market.

Advice -

Try to book well before in advance. Should you actually make a booking, just check with the hotel 2 days in advance. At times , these guys have last minute cancellations and can upgrade your room to the next level (free of cost). How do I know this ?? Because , I was one lucky one to get such an upgrade in the peak season time. ;-)

Anyways, good luck and have fun.

Check out this hotel - The Old Phuket.
www.theoldphuket.com
It has a Spa Deluxe Room with a big spa tub that you can soak in. It also has a Terrace Deluxe Room with a huge bathtub and 4-post beds, or you can have the newest room addition, the Private Jacuzzi room.

They offer very reasonable price as the facilities are more or less 3 stars, but the rooms are lovely and you get daily housekeeping. It is located at Karon Beach, which has the nicest sunset. Just 15 minutes away from Patong Beach, where all the main activities are, so it's convenient and not noisy. It's located in a street perpendicular to the beach, but the beach is only 3 minutes walk away. You can hear the waves at night.

I think you get even better rates for the room at www.asiarooms.com

congrauation and best of luck to you. Thailand is a very nice place to visit lots of nice hotels and resorts at Phuket and the islands around it. August is the low season and your get a good rate. People have already given you links to web sites, so you know where to look. Just a piece of advice, you get what you pay for. Just because they say a place has a jacuzzi don't expect much of one in a three star hotel, or even a fitness room could be one piece of equipment. Select a hotel and check out reviews from people who stayed at these places. I web site I used in the past is below. Good Luck
