We booked 2 rooms for my Mum's birthday and we absolutely loved it! The beach front villa is stunning, super comfortable, and literally right on the beach with your own little terrace and sun loungers. We also had a room further back that was huge and super comfortable. The beds are amazing! The pool is beautiful, also right on the beach and it has a swim-up bar with little seats! I always expect the food at resort restaurants to be average but it was absolutely outstanding! The best thing about this place though was the staff. Everyone was SO friendly, helpful, and kind - they really made the trip extra special. My mums room was decorated when we arrived and they made a special table up for us for her birthday dinner and brought us a cake, it was so sweet!

Pretty much everything! Barali Resort is without question the best resort on this beach. It may be less "grand" than one or two of them, but its aesthetic, its wonderful staff, the excellent buffet breakfast, and the by far best stretch of the beach it commands make it stand out among them all. We would be delighted to return here! P.S. To correct a billing mistake I didn't even catch myself, Barali Resort sent one of their staff, equipped with a credit card machine, to the near-by town we had moved to. We were at the beach at the time, so they again sent this lady to reimburse us when we returned to our new accommodation! Needless to say, we were hugely impressed with their honesty and their service.

This is not Barali's fault at all, but the beach has some small rocks and stones scattered on the seabed. We cut our feet on them and would advise other guests to wear water shoes.

beautiful resort on a stunning cove of beach. amazing sunsets each night with the view of the islands in the distance. the resort is nestled in a lovely cove and every direction you look is just paradice. loved my room, such a comfortable bed and pillows. I seemed to have the best room amongst my friends, we all stayed in deluxe villas but I had a detached villa with a smart TV and larger room, and they had semi detached villas with smaller room and less windows and no smart TV.

the resort spa closed in 2020 and is still waiting to be reopened. wish they would turn this into a gym and have yoga classes or more activities.

The room was spacious, clean and featured an excellent bath and beautiful bathroom. The pool is clean and the sun loungers are plenty and comfortable. But what stood out most was the wonderful staff. We both have celiac disease and require some extra care, especially at breakfast or other buffets like during a special night to celebrate Loy Krathong. We could ask questions about the food and when there was little on offer that we could eat at breakfast they made us delicious fresh food. This made our stay much more relaxing and we are really thankful :-) Other staff are also great, like the cleaning lady who's smile seemed to get bigger each time we saw her.

Barali Beach Resort on Koh Chang is a charming retreat offering individual bungalows nestled in a lush tropical garden, creating a serene and private ambiance. nicely maintained grounds, perfect for relaxing in nature’s embrace. Enjoy a good selection breakfast, lunch and dinner that caters to diverse tastes, both flavorful local dishes and classic Western options. With its tranquil atmosphere and thoughtful amenities, Barali Beach Resort provides an ideal escape if you are seeking relaxation and comfort on the island within 5 - 10 minutes walk to restaurants & shops along the main street

The hotel is right on the beach, and the beach is large and beautiful and when is low tide you can walk to other very nice hotels and restaurants that are on the same beach. We liked the room, it was big and spacious but a little outdated. Also, the staff is very nice and helpful. We also liked the big garden and the pool.

The restaurant is only ok, it has some good dishes but the menu is little, very few options. Also, breakfast is ok but not very reach.

The setting, the beach and the staff made for an exceptional vacation spot, especially if you enjoy the water and beach combing. A bit of a walk to the main road of Klong Phrao with restaurants, a few shops, etc but free rides there made it easy. The villa was lovely with the most comfortable bed we’d had in our six weeks away. Oh and the pool was lovely too - warm and clean and well tended.

While the breakfast (overlooking the ocean) was fantastic the dinners weren’t of the same calibre - maybe we just chose the wrong dishes to try. Also the hot water wasn’t very hot on the three cloudier days we experienced. But hardly something to complain about!

Great location on the beach. We had a beach villa and a pool villa. Big rooms that easily can fit 4 people. Breakfast was good, and the restaurant on the beach was just amazing. Great staff, and even if it was a bit more expensive than restaurant on the main Street, we still ate there some days. It was because of the people who worked in the restaurant, we decided to book at the hotel. We stayed a night at the Centara next door, but Barali was just so much better, and I will stay here if I come back to Koh Chang

Loved everything

The staff is very friendly and helpful. They always give advice on where to go and what to do. I checked out at 7 a.m., and they prepared breakfast boxes for us. I really like the resort; it is not too big or overcrowded, making it very quiet. I was looking for a peaceful place to relax, and this resort met my expectations. The room is beautiful, and the location is excellent. It is a bit far from the main street (but still walkable), which is very good because it provides a quiet and peaceful environment. The food at the restaurant is very tasty and delicious.

The pool is not that big.

The staff was very friendly and helped with any request! The resort has a beautiful and quiet beach. The little town ist just 10 minutes walk away and also some nice restaurants on the neighbouring beach! The room was clean and quiet big! The breakfast was big and offered many option from western breakfast to Thai breakfast! And they had a nice little bar for the evening with delicious cocktails :) You could lend a canoe for some hours to paddle to the little island close by. Couldn't wish for anything else!
