Thanks jaxw17, there are a good number of hotels and reviews on that site, very helpful.

I will be there for around 2 weeks, but I will have the weekends off and maybe 1 or 2 weekdays as well. I sure would like to try and get some sun when Im there. I have bad psoriasis (skin condition like eczema) and could use some sun and salt water.

Well, thanks again for the info. If anybody on this board has a day or two to act as a tour guide, or knows of anyone that has free time, please let me know. I have never been to Asia before, and to be honest, Im a little nervous! I will arrive on Saturday Dec 1, 2007 and fly out on Thu, Dec 13, 2007.
