the hotel availability on phuket is plentiful to say the least!,so just walk in and barter you may be able to find a posh hotel and get them to waiver the guest fee!

Reminds me of my first trip really, booked through a travel agent(this increased flight price a little) and was asked which hotel I'd like.
Said I only wanted 2 nights in hotel and stuck to that, they tried to sell me the entire stay but I would have nothing of it.
Arrived Patong and was booked into The Royal Paradise, hotel was 2500baht a night if we wanted to extend our stay, joiner fee was 500baht, this was all in low season.
Did a little shopping around and was offered 1500baht with no joiner fee at Patong Resort, the choice was easy
Nowadays I spen less on hotel and more on fun so I tend to go for hotels below 1k in low season, maybe book just a cpl nights in a posh hotel somewhere to have some jacuzzi fun and get pampered a bit...
