After browsing the site, I shortlisted some of the hotel (good price, good review and of course not scary). From what I've read on the net, hotels in Patong area are not recommended simply because of its 'wild' nightlife. So I decided to stay in Kata area (FYI the common hotel area near by the beach are Patong, Karon and Kata) since Karon - as described on the Lonely Planet travel guide - good for family. It seems like Kata is not too quiet yet not too noisy =D.
At first, our main option was Ibis Hotel Kata. The three stars hotel looks good and it was so cheap. The rate for a Night was Rp300000 or around 35 USD. Thanks to our friend Heru, who at that time just came back from Phuket. He recommended us his hotel, the hotel that was my second option at first. It was a 4-stars hotel and according to his word, it was fun and great at the hotel. So I informed the group about the hotel. Lucky us, The Sugar Palm Grand Hillside hotel was having a discounted price at the moment. Believe it or not, the 4-stars, 1 years old hotel was at Rp280000 for a night!!! Without any hesitation, I asked the group to confirm their trip and pay for the hotel. It was at February 8, 2010.

Looking great? It IS great!!!! Visit www.sugarpalmgrand.com for more info about the hotel.
As informed in earlier post, our flight was rescheduled 1 day earlier, so we need to book one extra night at the hotel. The price has gone up to Rp480000 per night. It was still a good deal though.
The room arrangement was Girls (Fenny, Shienny n Ci El), Boys (Me and Alvin), Boys (Pdik and Juan). Each boy paid Rp660000 for 5 days 4 nights stay at this number 2 Asia's trendiest hotel new 4-stars hotel. What a deal ^^
