The Pace Phuket Boutique Resort

This was a compact resort in Rawai, aimed at travellers who wanted a straightforward base rather than a large hotel complex. English and Thai were spoken by the hotel team, so you could deal with the practicalities of a stay in English.

The property combined rooms, suites, villas, cottages and bungalows, with a garden, terrace and courtyard giving the place more breathing space than a standard town hotel. It also accepted pets, which may matter if your travelling companion has four legs and no interest in Phuket's sightseeing schedule.

The important point today is the status: the resort is permanently closed as of 1 May 2026.

The former resort stood at 88/17 M.7 Soi Saiyuan, Wiset Road, Rawai, in Mueang Phuket, Thailand. Rawai was the actual base, not Karon Beach, so this was a southern-Phuket address with the area's restaurants, roads and coastal stops close by.

Rawai Beach, Phuket Shooting Range and Kok Chang Safari were among the nearby places to explore. The resort was also close to the town centre, making it a practical starting point for getting around rather than an isolated hideaway.

Phuket International Airport was 45 km away. An airport transfer service was available, and a beach transfer was also part of the former service offering.

The accommodation range was broad enough to cover a solo stay, a couple, or a family group. Couples could choose a double room with a private bathroom, air conditioning and television, while the larger family suites and two-bedroom options made more sense when separate sleeping space mattered. Some family accommodation could take up to four guests.

The villas were the more self-contained choice, with one- and two-bedroom versions among the options. Cottages and bungalows offered simpler accommodation with a private bathroom. The practical details varied by category, so the room type mattered more than the resort name on the reservation screen.

Air conditioning was available in several room categories, while rooms generally included a shower, television, refrigerator or minibar, toiletries and a private bathroom. Suites also included a safe, telephone, mirror and towels. Useful after a long day out: somewhere cold to keep a drink, somewhere secure for valuables, and no need to share a bathroom with the rest of the party.

Breakfast was included in the former standard package, with both continental and à la carte choices. That gave you a quick option before heading out, or a slower start if the morning had no urgent appointment with the sea.

There was a bar on site, along with coffee and tea for guests. The resort also had a kitchen and kitchenette facilities, while barbecue areas allowed for a more informal meal outdoors.

The small detail worth remembering was the Swiss coffee machine, which served espresso throughout the day. The buttons may have required a moment of negotiation, but that is still less effort than hunting for coffee after an early start.

An outdoor swimming pool provided the obvious place to cool down, with pool equipment and a sun terrace for the less energetic part of the afternoon. A garden, courtyard, outdoor furniture and terrace added places to sit without having to retreat to your room.

The former facilities also included a spa and beauty treatments, giving you an option for a more deliberate recovery day. A doctor was part of the listed on-site services, alongside a first-aid kit.

When staying put lost its appeal, hiking and fishing were among the activities available. A barbecue area offered another way to spend the evening, and babysitting services were available for families who needed a short break from childcare.

The former property offered free Wi-Fi throughout, free on-site parking, laundry and dry-cleaning services, luggage storage, a safe and concierge services. Car hire was available, and the resort provided wheelchair-accessible facilities. There was no lift, so the building layout mattered for anyone who needed step-free access throughout.

Airport transfers were available and chargeable in some circumstances; stays of five nights or more had access to a complimentary shuttle arrangement. The former check-in window was 14:00 to 18:30, with check-out by 12:00. Early arrival and late departure could be requested.

Pets were welcome, and the property was non-smoking. Guests were required to show photo identification and a payment card at arrival, while a refundable cash damage deposit applied during the former operating period. These details are now historical: the resort is closed and cannot be booked for a current stay.
