Hotels in Patong Beach (current info)
Hi:
I'm a newbie but have been researching hotels for my upcoming Trip (late April). Wanted to share the responses I have gotten from hotels re: their joiner policies. I was always very clear in my emails to them that I would book a double room but wanted to know both policy and any fees for "unregistered guests".
First the good news: Friendliest email was from Baan Yin Dee Resort, no fee, no hassle. Club Bamboo and Orchid Residence also confirmed that they do not charge fees.
Bad news: Patong Bay Gardens Resort told me THB 1000/person/day. Odd given that others have stayed there before without fee so I wrote back just to reconfirm, they did not respond. Amari Coral was quite terse in announcing their fee (same THB 1000), too bad 'cause it looks nice but I understand from further research that they really don't like BGs so that rules them out for me. Baan Lamai resort says THB 300 per night joiner fee. That's not a ridiculous amount but on principle I'd rather go somewhere that won't try tacking that on (I was going to book their fanciest room).
Quite a few did not respond to my request, not sure what to make of it, but they included Safari Beach, Tropica Bungalow and K Hotel.
Any comments or advice appreciated.
