I was there last year and stayed at the Chaweng Beach Resort. It is at the far end of Chaweng beach (furthest from the airport) The end near the airport is not as good because when the tide goes out there are rocks everywhere in the barren sea. The end with this resort the water doesnt go out as far and the sand is much nicer. Not as coarse. This place was 1000 baht per night for a bungalow. It had sat tv, nice clean bathroom, big king size bed etc.
At the time of year you are going though I would just get dropped of in the heart of Chaweng, book a cheap place for one night and then rent a scooter and go check out the hotels on your own. You are sure to get a better deal.
I did not like Lamai as good. The beach was nice, but the sand was very grainy, not soft like Chaweng. The water was clean but seemed deeper than Chaweng and of course it is not as busy and with a poor nightlife.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Ashley
