Stayed at the Chedi in June 2002. It is somewhat secluded - about a 20 minute cab ride to Patong. It shares a beach with Amanpuri. They are the only to resorts on the beach (one of the nicest beaches on the island) and they share facilities and billing privileges. The hotel consisted of individual villas and was nice, but not in the same class as Banyan Tree or Amanpuri. However, it was considerably less expensive. Booked a room through www.asia-hotels.com and got a good deal.
