Barrier Beach Resort is absolutely magical. It sits on a pristine, teal blue lagoon, with beautiful coral gardens, perfect for snorkeling, kayaking and SUPing. The staff is first class ((Sophia, Rose, Marcel and Tony were amazing) and the food superb. Every table at the restaurant has an outstanding view of the lagoon. Our ocean front room was lovely with a spectacular view of the water. We were lucky to spend 20 days here, and we will be back. The hosts Sabine and Wayne were truly caring, accommodating and vibrant. They are super friendly and very welcoming. BBR is definitely a shining star in Vanuatu.

We loved our stay at Barrier Beach Resort. The Staff are super attentive, always cheerful & informative. The accommodation pacific style, comfortable, clean & spacious. Our room was beach side- terrific views & ocean sounds through louvers & fully mosquito screened. Very generous bathroom with all the facilities you'd expect from a resort. Restaurant was beach side - great bar drinks, happy hour, food scrumptious & good variety - servicing staff so attentive, nothing was to much. Activities readily available & organised by the office.. I would mention a bunch of names of people that really touched our souls & made our stay super special but I don't want to offend anyone because it takes a team to run such a well oiled machine. Gardens were beautifully manicured. We were excited to see they were working on a new space for guest to enjoy gathering, read, play boardgames and lounge. I hope we can come back at a later date to make use of it. :-D Thank you to our hosts Wayne & Sabine for checking in with us on a daily basis to see how our day had been. WE LOVED IT.

A beautiful idyllic quiet resort , well presented ,wonderful staff ,excellent restuarant with bar and menu choices .We stayed in Fare 8 in the excutive beach front suite which was just ideal for us. Rob ,Wayne and staff were very friendly and welcoming .They organised transport options to see the Famous Nanda and RiRi blue pools as well as arranging taxi for my husband to do his Scuba diving down at the Coolidge . Wonderful spa treatments for the ultimate relaxation . Overall we could not fault anything because we had a wonderful tropical getaway. Perfect for our 30th Wedding Anniversary . We thoroughly would recommend staying at the Barrier beach resort.

I loved this place it was absolutely heaven! I love that all the water activities were free and you could just go grab a kayak snorkel gear or SUP board anytime and the free bikes I just loved. The staff were also extremely friendly everyone calling you by name it was just really special :) also if for some reason on your trip you need wifi it is very good and works really well ...had to hand in a uni assignment while I was there and I was worried about being able to do it but sure enough the wifi was was really good

A beautiful location and very sympathetic to the natural environment. The hosts and staff at those resort are attentive to every need and add make one feel totally "at home". The resort rooms step on to the sand so it is an amazing experience. Santo is a naturally beautiful island and the Barrier Beach Resort is a wonderful place to base your trip here

I'm not typically compelled to write reviews but Julie & her team are something else. My wife and I went here on our honeymoon and their team was so amazing holding my hand through a myriad errors (thanks Expedia for those btw..). Communication was second to none with these guys and it's the sort of place you would happily put a rubber stamp of approval on with your name on it to friends and family... in fact, we're starting to plan the next trip now... Go here if you want serenity, beautiful beaches (I dont think the photos really do this place justice, its better when you get there), lovely service, good food, helpful local advice and an all round awesome island resort break. thank you guys.

Amazing Place!

Stayed in a beachfront villa for 5 nights. Perfect location! Step straight out the door onto your own private deck with a beautiful view of the ocean. Restaurant food was excellent quality, staff super friendly and helpful. Would recommend to purchase alcohol and snacks to keep in your fridge as the food is on the pricier side.

Barrier Beach Resort was AMAZING -

We absolutely loved our 6 night stay at Barrier Beach Resort!! Julie, Calvin and all the staff (including Christine, Emmy, Rocky) are all so lovely and accommodating. The resort is large and sits on a private beach, which was absolutely stunning (never seen such turquoise water in real life). Snorkelling was amazing (so many fish! including Nemo clown fishes), standup paddle boards and kayaks were plentiful. They provide ample snorkel gear and beach towels to use, so no need to bring your own. We stayed in Fare 14 with the plunge pool. The room was really spacious, the bed super comfortable, and has everything you need. Wifi was very good in the room and throughout the resort. I booked in for a one hour massage at the on-site day spa and Jessica was amazing! The restaurant has good variety and rotating daily specials which was nice. Food does take a while to come out (everything made to order), but that is pretty standard across every place in Santo. We had an early flight to catch upon check out, and they really looked after us by providing breakfast for us to keep in our room the night before, which was thoughtful. The only minor thing I could have done with was a line to dry our swimwear on our patio. They have a large rack in the bathroom but things dry slower inside than outside. Otherwise no faults at all, Barrier Beach Resort was amazing and we had to most relaxing and fun time there. It was totally worth the money to stay here and be pampered!
