I've never had any problems at Patong Villa and agree with the comments posted above. It can be a hassle walking past the suit shop in the passage on the way out! But after two or three polite "'No Thanks" with a smile, they left me alone.

Guards always seemed alert, which is good on the security front, but bad when you feel like a skinny dip with your latest BG! Ah well, don't let the audience stop you from performing - The show must go on and all that!

Good situation, quiet enought to relax. Spacious and clean rooms. Good room service. Reliable (as in not stolen on last day) car and bike hire and a refreshing 'morning special' 1 hour (200Baht) start your day massage in the hotel spa before a dip in the pool, another coffee, a snoozette and a quick planning session on how to get past all the bars on Bangla on your way to MTB without getting dragged in to all of them!

High season prices seem a bit steep this year, but I have seen increases across the board and not specific to Patong Villa. It's good for me, so I am sticking with it
