booking your flight yourself as other have suggested. Have a look at internet booking sites - google "rooms in asia" and you will come up with one of the better ones - you will find rooms for around $35AUD includng taxes and basic breaky and pool - cross check what others think of hotels you are thinking of by looking at "trip advisor" and the archives in this forum and lastly check the hotel site to make sure you are getting a deal.
I have recently compared prices with the ads in newspapers and usually you can do better yourself as the others have suggested.
