They quoted me 1500 as well. I asked for a discount and they said they couldn't. I stayed there last year for 700 (but in low season). It's a good place, but 1500 is too much. I cancelled my reservation and will try my luck when (and if ) i get to Phuket. Staying in LOS for 21 days now, and hoping to come down to Phuket after New Years. Maybe meet up with a few bms then,
I Just got an e-mail confirmation back from C&N Hotel, I booked a double room for the first half of March 2005 at 800 Baht per night. I never stayed there but I hope/guess it's a good price.
Just don't bother with them. Stay at the C&N and use the C&N Resort Swimming pool if you want to. I will PM you about the hotel if you want me too.
