Phuket good hotel all very expensive one. Last time I book a villa style resort at hill top, with free driver for 8 hrs, cost around $250 per night. Service good so worth it, service staff every morning come to my villa to cook breakfast for us.

The center of attraction is still at Patong if you wanted a lively atmosphere.

Other area is not so developed and more quiet.

I think I will still stay back in Amata Patong Resort next time I go Phuket again.

Patong area should be good enough ...
Try to stay near Junceylon mall if you want to shop in mall...

Other big hotel such as Novotel, Hilton, Centara, etc ...
Those located near the beach area , however walk about 1+ hr, at least to reach the mall ... By tuk tuk is around 200+, by grab is 250+ onwards ...

 

[dede1217]

If going in Feb period, hotel prices might be at least double the price, for some of the hotels , compared to travelling in Jul to Sep period ...

If u know how to ride automatic bike, renting a motorcycle might be a good choice. Otherwise renting a car is also not expensive

No point taking their tourist carrot chopping taxis
