Barali Beach Resort & Spa Koh Chang

Great location, very pittoresk vistas, lots of privacy, fabulous beach, good pool, very nice landscaping and super friendly and polite employees who would benefit from some additional training. Food and beverage product is limited and could do with some imagination and improvements. Villas were well cleaned and supplied with amenities- the drawback and failure of this property is the poor state of repair and lack of re-investment. This is apparent nearly everywhere - malfunctioning, noisy, old air conditioner in rooms (a replacement program appears to be on the way), defect beach chairs and in poor condition, decorative lamps in restaurant/pool area nearly falling of their supports (totally rusted through), wooden pool deck area - rotten in parts and a trip hazard, some roof structures in need of repair and cleaning, a larger single family house in the centre of the Resort looks like it has been temporarily abandoned and is used for storage, etc, etc. a real shame, this could be and should be the premier or at least among the premier resorts of Ko Chang by adding some professional management providing some needed training to the young and friendly but inexperienced staff and most importantly some reinvestment and much needed repair and maintenance. It looks like the owner opened a splendid resort some 16 years and either forgot all about it or run into cashflow problems. I still recommend a stay since the major and nature driven ingredients for a relaxing holiday are there.

Beach is very clean and sandy no rocks - waves are safe for children - shallow waters. Good for visit even during rainy season. Room is recently renovated hence very new and nicely done. Staffs always helpful.
