The Patong Bay Garden is about the only decent hotel near Bangla that backs right on to the beach. It's a 2 minute walk to Bangla. I have stayed there a couple of years ago and it was OK. They did charge joiner fee (500 or 1000 baht) for guest though. It has a decent pool. Can't remember if it had a beach bar. It was nice to be able to walk from the hotel thru the pool area straight on to the beach. No private area on the beach though for the hotel residents as I recall, had to pay for a sun lounger.

I stay at the Salathai hotel which is bit further away from Bangla (say 10 minute walk) but GF (no guest fee). Has nice pool, clean rooms with safe, decent restaurant, wi-fi and is good value for money. 2 minutes from the beach. Opposite the Royal Phawadee that has been mentioned above.
