Patong is one of Phuket's best-known resort towns, with a sandy beach lined by hotels and restaurants and a lively evening scene. Phuket is Thailand's largest island and is linked to the mainland by a bridge, and Andatel Grande Patong Phuket is on Rat-U-Thit 200 Pee Road, with the main beach 450 m away.

Bangla Road, the town's nightlife street, is 1 km away, and the Jungceylon Shopping Center is 1.1 km from the hotel, with a wide choice of shops and restaurants under one roof. Kalim Beach is 1.2 km away and within walking distance of central Patong, so a stretch of sand is easy to reach on foot, while other beaches on the island are reached by road.

Wat Chalong, one of Phuket's best-known Buddhist temples, is 7.2 km away, and the Big Buddha statue on the hills has views across the island. Phuket's temples and hilltop viewpoints are spread across the island, so a car or a taxi is useful for a full day out. A good day could start with the sea at Patong, continue to the Big Buddha and Wat Chalong, and end with dinner on Bangla Road, where the streets are lined with massage shops and street-food stalls.
