“Great getaway in one of the most beautiful places in world! Enjoyed lots of day trips but could have easily stayed at Ba”

The location was breathtaking! The food was delicious! The staff were amazing! Shout out to the restaurant staff for their service, banter and kindness and to our hosts Shaun and Janine who made us feel at home :)

We spent 4 nights in a fare right on the beach. The beach was amazing, with coral reefs that you can swim to. The property is well maintained and beautiful. Stunning gardens.

“Fantastic position.”

Position right in the beach

The staff, accomodation, the views, the swimming, the food, massage, location, cocktails, overall friendliness and help offered was 10/10. As a group of 5 staying in 3 rooms we all the best time and can’t fault the service. Will return for sure

“Great. Super helpful staff and management. Amazing getaway.”

Staff super friendly. Vibe truly relaxed. The communal areas for breakfast and afternoon drinks were really nice and a good place to converse with fellow travellers if you like. We were able to organise everything through the hotel on the day - in promptu snorkelling, car hire for the next day delivered to the hotel - made the less fun bits of the trip super easy.

“We had an amazing stay at Barrier Beach — great food, lovely staff, and a perfect place to relax”

We absolutely loved our stay at Barrier Beach Resort! Breakfast was a highlight every morning — the fresh fruit platter and eggs cooked just how you like them were spot on. The staff are what really make this place special. Florida, Marcel, Rose, and Sophia (and honestly everyone we met) were so friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Our room was spotless, the bed super comfortable, and the whole resort had such a relaxed, peaceful vibe. The restaurant was fantastic too — we didn’t have a single bad meal in the six days we were there. Highly recommend this resort for anyone wanting a beautiful, stress-free getaway in Vanuatu. We can’t wait to come back!

“Brilliant stay in a beach resort, couldn’t ask for more.”

Excellent position right on the beach. Fantastic staff.

Wow, where to begin. Everything was great, the hotel is right next to the most beautiful beach, the restaurant is fantastic, and the staff couldn't do more to help you have a wondering stay. Special shout out to Emmie for helping us book our tours last minute. I can't wait to come back!

“Relax and unwind by the sea”

The location,right on the beach was perfect. Views spectacular. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Meals and drinks were lovely. Massage at the spa was very good and prices very reasonable. Rooms are spacious and cleaned daily. Snorkling and swimming was great. Our room had air-conditioning, some don't. Had a great stay, can't fault any of it.

“Highly recommended if travelling to Santo”

The location is absolutely stunning. It is about 20 mins out of Luganville and the road to the place isn’t all that great but the location, facilities and staff were amazing. Highly recommend taking a tour of champagne beach and at least one of the blue holes. We had Timmy as our tour guide and he was willing to change it up to suit us. Food at the restaurant was great however not a massive variety so if you are staying awhile you might want to get out and about for some meals get out and about, that being said they were willing to put together things off the menu if the could. The staff were extremely friendly and always willing to help. We saw dolphins and turtles from the dining area which overlooks the ocean and on a good day you could be lucky and see the volcano in the background. The beach is lovely, snorkeling was ok but definitely better places around (Timmy can help here). The beach has multiple trees that hang over the water so you can sit in the water in the shade which is nice. We got hot some massage at the spa onsite and it was fantastic, highly recommended. Overall the place gave us a 20th wedding anniversary we will never forget.

“It was very pleasant beautiful beach but food needs to be a bit better more veggies”

Peaceful location

Absolutely Stunning. Could not wipe the smile off my face at Barrier Beach Resort. If you have the choice to stay here you would not be sorry. Could not fault a single thing. Not only will the property and atmosphere take your breath away but the staff are amazing. They went above and beyond. Customer Service was award class. If I could have taken them home I would have. I can not wait to come back.

“Was able to properly unwind - will definitely be going back”

Staff were helpful and lovely - big, big smiles!! Beautiful location and great food in the restaurant.

“A great place to stay on Santo.”

The resort is in a great location and a short drive from the 3 Blue Holes. Our villa was just steps from the sea. It was wonderful lying on a day bed watching the waves from our deck. The restaurant offered a good selection of meals and drinks. The staff were quite helpful. The massage I had at the Day Spa was absolutely fabulous. We were very appreciative of a late check out, as our flight was late in the day.

“My mistake in booking it”

no Airconditioning

“Very very good! and great value!”

The included breakfast was plentiful and fresh. The lunch and dinner menu again was fresh and wonderful. The equipment - snorkeling equipment, SUP Kayaks, Bikes etc were all included and there seemed to be plenty for everyone. Our room with plunge pool was spacious and very comfortable with an amazing view (also) of the dugongs The staff and management were so friendly and accommodating. We will come again!

Amazing facilities, welcoming staff who go above and beyond an incredible place to stay in Santo.

“Great location and staff!”

Staff and location

“A divine resort located on the East coast of Santo.”

Everything... We went to the Barrier for our Wedding Anniversary and they definitely exceeded our expectations. We stayed for 6 nights and staff were floorless. The staff; Sophia (Anna), Rose, Tony, Rob and Catherine were stand-outs. The food was 5 staff, so fresh and delicious with daily specials for every appetite. Staff assisted with arranging daytrips, and so friendly just hanging around the resort. Snorkling equipment and kayaks available... the location a stone through (or bike ride, or kayak) away from divine blue water holes. Our anniversary evening was made so beautiful with handpicked tropical flowers setup for our table (then moved to our room), and a complimentary cocktail from the Manager. Just a perfect stay.
