I will be staying in Phuket from 1/13/08 - 1/18/08 and I am trying to book a hotel. Anyone have any favorites that they can share? We are looking for something in the range of $130 - $200 (max). I have found a few places but I am not sure on the best location (beach) to stay around. We are a couple in our late 20's and we would like to be in a central location for beautifull beaches, the city and nightlife....BUT don't want to be in the middle of a "party" area.

Any advice would be appreciated
