Deevana (plaza - not patong which is another place!)
Not quite what they promise, but pretty darn good. this is patong, sleezy underbelly of tourism in thailand. a short hot humid walk from bangla rd (if you want to face the taxi touts and the endless stores selling crappy stuff) and an even shorter walk to the beach (where you get to swim in a beautiful warm ocean but have to be wary of paragliders, boats, jetskis, etc) look - it's a nice hotel, comfortable, a little tired and well-worn, but what do you want in a town that was presumably once very nice (look for the beautiful colonial architecture hidden behind a spider's web of electric cables and extended portico roofs), but now is overextended and seedy!
