Kacha Resort & Spa Koh Chang has been one of the most popular resorts on the island since it first opened. A few years ago the addition of a huge new hillside wing, featuring some extremely spacious and good value Family Suites, increased the popularity of this 4 star resort. And in late 2017, the new beachfront restaurant and rooms opened.

(This score is based on the number of written reviews on Booking.com since 1 November 2018. Because recent reviews are more relevant than those from many years ago.)
The downside though is whilst the size of the hotel has more than doubled, it only has a relatively short frontage onto the beach and the small beachfront pool area is regularly packed. The new annex has it’s own very large pool, which looks onto nothing more exciting than the rear of some roadside shop units.
The beachfront features hotel rooms and a couple of types of chalets and villas. In the Hillside annex which opened in late 2009, you’ll find Deluxe rooms and various types of Suites. These Deluxe rooms and the 80sqm Family Suites are good value for money.
The villas and chalets are more akin to very nice nice hotel rooms which open out onto a garden area that leads down to the beach. I was hoping for a more interesting design but whilst they won’t ‘Wow’ you with their architectural splendour, there’s no doubting the appeal of a comfortable room in a great beachfront location.
Main downside is that due the the limited amount of poolside area with sea views, pre-dawn sunbed wars are guaranteed. In addition the beach directly outside the hotel is nowhere near as good as that further to the north. But Kacha has room prices and types to suit various budgets and is a safe bet for couples and families wanting a good, conveniently located beach resort.
Kacha Resort & Spa is rated 4.3 out of 5 stars based on 466 written reviews on Booking.com since 1 November 2018

Room was light, large and cozy, bathroom was big and balcony was nice. The room has very efficient and silent a/c. There is no a/c machines in the balcony or on the main wall like it is often the case, which means that you can concentrate on the birds, sea etc. Room has fridge, cable-tv with wide range of channels and coffee-making facility. Materials are high class: stone floor and the bed and the balcony furnitures are heavy nice wooden ones - even the dust pins and clothe drying rack are wooden. The hotel is located on the beach and has beautiful lush garden. The swimming pool area, which locates literally couple of meters from the sea, is very big and there are two pools, good showers and small pool bar. The sun beds are nice and comfortable. Breakfast is huge and has extremely many choices. The breakfast room (restaurant) is large and nice and opens to the sea: you can easily feel and see the sea when having your meal. The hotel is well located. Normally the key card switches on the electricity. There was separate card for the electricity which means that you are able to leave eg a/c on while exiting the room, which means waste of energy (if you do not care).read less - Karikoo - 23/04/20

Der Swimmingpool mit Rutsche ein Highlight für die Kinder. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt vor Ort um 3 Nächte verlängert! Beim Frühstück fehlten Aufschnitt wie Käse und Salami, ist jedoch auf Grund der großen Auswahl auch für Europäer in Ordnung.read less - Bastian - 25/03/20

Ресторан находится на берегу океана, можно любоваться красивыми видами во время завтрака или sunset коктейля. Дружелюбный персонал. Особенно поразило чуткое отношение к гостям, что не характерно для больших отелей. Всех именинников поздравляют тортиком со свечками. Когда нам не понравился номер, нам предложили другой номер. При переезде в другой номер я потеряла один предмет одежды, его нашли и вернули. К любой нашей просьбе относились очень внимательно. Недостатков я не заметила. Хотелось бы улучшить два момента: 1) Фитнес-центр должен открываться чуть пораньше в 07-00 или 07-30, так как в 08-00 происходит вбрасывание людей и тренажеров на всех не хватает; 2) В соседнем ресторане живет пара собак, которые иногда заходят на каменистый пляж отеля. Собаки здоровые, не агрессивные и сытые (есть не просят). Мы были свидетелями, когда официант из нашего ресторана пытался прогнать собаку с пляжа и кидался в нее камнями. Один из камней попал в собаку, та громко заскулила от боли. Отдыхающим не очень приятно наблюдать сцены насилия, особенно по отношению к беззащитным животным.read less - Tatiana - 20/03/20

Very good Kamers zijn ruim en comfortabel. Alles in orde. Geen tegenvallers. - Joop - 16/03/20
We stayed in the newly open Hillside part in December 09. Very family orientated, especially by the pool. If you were to spend few hours aroun the pool it does indeed feels like you’re in package holiday resort in Costa del Sol rather than Koh Chang. The other pool by the beach side is far too small and over crowded.
Staff werent particularly helpful or friendly, which is unusual for Thais. The room was nice, but having spent the same amount of money in Chang Buri down the road for much better quality rooms couple of nights before….we felt abit let down.
Worth staying if you get a good deal otherwise save your money for something better!
2009 was our second year in a row to the Kacha resort which has changed for the worse. Slow service (over an hour to get a sandwich which arrived eventually with no apology). Some staff were surly and rude (but certainly not all). Not all the facilities advertised were available. For the money you must pay to “enjoy” this resort we all felt rather cheated this year, and will not return.
P.S. Avoid star beauty and salon which is located very near the resort. They are not to be trusted.
My kids loved this resort. 2010 will be our third time on koh Chang and third time at Kacha. Enjoy!
