Patong is Phuket's best-known beach town, and its beach, restaurants, bars and night markets sit close together, so the streets stay busy into the evening. Alfresco Phuket Hotel is part of that activity, with a garden and a swimming pool for quieter afternoons. The streets carry the bustle of a resort town, with street-food stalls and massage shops along the beach road.

Patong Beach is 700 m away and Bangla Road, the street of bars and clubs, is 900 m. Jungceylon Shopping Center and the Dragon Night Market are close by, and Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong) is further out. Karon Beach, a long sandy stretch, is 3.1 km away, and Big Buddha, the large seated statue on the Nakkerd Hills, is 6.7 km. Phuket International Airport (HKT) is 25.1 km away, and the hotel offers a taxi service and car hire, with an airport transfer available at an extra charge.

A good day can start with a swim in the outdoor pool, followed by a walk to Patong Beach and an evening on Bangla Road or at the Dragon Night Market. For a day out of town, Big Buddha and Wat Chalong are worth a visit, and the Karon Beach stretch offers a change of scene.
