Tried to book Rama Beach Cottages with Agoda last week. They gave me fab price of AUS$40 per night - inc breakfast! I was thrilled that there were rooms available so i went ahead and made the booking.
THEN i got an email an hour later saying "sorry, no rooms available, but how about the Oberoi for $100???" Errr, no thankyou. I have a feeling the prices are just to reel you in half the time. I must admit though, i did chat online with one of their reps who was very helpful (i was making sure they were not going to charge my credit card!)
I ended up booking instead with Asiarooms. Got both hotels i wanted, confirmed within 2 hours at a darn good price.
Hope that helps!
