This place is amazing. I have stayed in many places, all over the world. I haven’t found a carefulness for the guests like it. The property is clean, modern, and beautiful. It does a great job of not taking you out of nature and relaxation. The staff, Marcel, Florida, Rose, Emmi, Catherine etc all work so hard to make sure you’re having a good time. Now to the areas around the property- the water is amazing. The snorkeling amazing, dugongs, clownfish, corals, turtles, crabs all just awesome. Snorkel everywhere you can. The food was great and the daily specials brought good variety. I hope the fishing stuff I left is catching!

I really wanted to love this resort but my partner got very ill eating spring rolls on the first night. On the menu it had GF next to it and nothing else did. In this day and age I'm surprised a resort run by expats would allow such limited options for coeliacs, and only have GF on the one item that is definitely not gluten free. It's a serious autoimmune disease and any damage can potentially lead to other more serious health issues. They even thought it was gluten free until two nights later when they said it wasn't. The response from staff didn’t seem satisfactory and even when she showed them the diagram she prepared in Bislama there was little concern and the menu still showed GF against spring roles when we left 7 days later, but only on the dinner menu. Lunch menu didn’t show this. She basically ran out of options as nearly everything contained gluten and two of the nights one of the curries was unavailable. She had to have dry chicken one night as the sauce contained gluten. Considerng the cost of our stay and the reviews we read about the quality of the food we didn't have the same experience. We should have confirmed with the resort beforehand. Great location. Great snorkeling. One suggestion which all resorts should do is to make patrons aware of what NOT to do when using resort kyaks out on the reef such as putting your ore down on the coral as we noticed. I looked in the booklet and no mention of protecting the reefs. Just our thoughts.

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!

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 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.

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.
