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.

We stayed on the fare on the beach with the plunge pool and it is the perfect getaway for couples. Rob and his team set up private dinning on the beach to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Extremely well kept property and exceptional service from all staff.

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.

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.

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!

This has now set the benchmark for the best place we have stayed. Everything about this resort shouts quality. The location, quality food, super friendly helpful staff, quality bedding. The managers Julie and kalvin are great hosts and nothing is overlooked. There are very few places that can achieve this degree of luxury and quality.

Perfect relaxation spot with everything you need on site! Great service and awesome hosts! Restaurant is a bit pricey for Vanuatu standards, but when you are so secluded from everything, you can't be too picky with food.

We stayed for 8 nights and wished we did not have to leave! Calvin and Julie make great effort to get to know their guests and check in every day to ensure everything is as you had hoped for. Staff are super friendly, remember your name and your previous orders. Food was delicious, home cooked fresh bread and muffins, fresh tropical fruit plate and juices in the morning while you look out from the restaurant to the azure blue waters of Vanuatu. Excellent house reef for snorkeling. They arrange trips for you without any hassle. We stayed in Vila five which is 1 step away from the water at high tide. If you like the sound of waves and a breeze then Vila 5 is your place to go, if you are a light sleeper and prefer silence then choose a garden Vila. We could not have wished for a better holiday ! Highly recommended for couples

We stayed at Barrier Beach for 8 nights and were impressed right from the start. The temporary manager was waiting for us at the entrance, we were given a nice welcome drink and she explained everything about the resort and how our stay worked in detail. Staff is really friendly and help you out with any questions, arranging taxis and tours. Absolutely great. The rooms are very spacious and clean and tidy. We had a Beach Villa so ours was right on the beach, couldnt have asked for more.Food in the restaurant was of very good quality as well. All in all, we had a great stay at Barrier Beach.

We had such an awesome week here, it’s a little slice of paradise. Warmly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing stay with some snorkeling on the doorstep and world class diving a short drive away. Renting a car is a good idea if you wanna have some freedom to look around on the east coast. Recommended for singles or couples, no kids allowed I think.

This place is picture perfect. Only 3hrs direct flight from Brisbane where you have your own paradise. Beach is absolutely perfectly blue with your own coral reefs. Sand is soft & even better no seaweed or shells to contend with. Adults only & its great when you have so many other lovely couples staying in the other 5 Fares ( units) that you can have dinners with or spend the day with. The Barrier Beach has two wonderful caretakers Calvin & Julie who can accommodate to all your needs. Our Fare had a plunge pool & was position amongst the gardens which was perfect. My husband & other guests went fishing with Calvin for 4 hours while I enjoyed the serenity of the beautiful surroundings & an extra trip to Champagne Beach. Thank you so much for a fantastic & spontaneous holiday adventure. Goodbye Thailand, Bali, Fiji, Philippines etc... this paradise is close to home & has NOT been ruined by an influx of Tourists.

Enjoyed three incredible nights at Barrier Beach House and will definitely be back. The fares are stunning, as is the location. Many activities on site as well as easy access to tours and other Santo attractions. Julie and Calvin were fantastic hosts and every meal was delicious! Highly recommended!

This was without a doubt the best holiday we've had in a long time! Julie and Calvin took care of us from the second we landed on Santo. It sure is a hidden paradise and we will definitely come back one day. The rooms are great and we loved waking up to the sound of the ocean every morning. The girls in the kitchen cooked us amazing dinners every night and it was always such a great way to end each day sitting on the deck overlooking the water. We've already recommended several of our friends to visit the same place since this was such a perfect holiday. Thank you Julie and Calvin for your amazing hospitality and for running such a beautiful little hotel.
