Layalina
(http://www.layalinahotel.com) looks like the most upscale option - run by an austrian manager, offers plasma tv and jacuzzi in the rooms and a very nice pool on the outside. the downsides are the price and the position next to the canal in kamala.
Kamala beach has a lot of small bungalows and huts directly on the beach, at about 1600 to 2000 baht per night in the high season. If you don't want to book one of the bigger hotels, you should start with one night booked in advance and then look for accommodation yourself. Don't let some agency at the airport book rooms for you.
