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.

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. ##### Gail Stayed 6 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joshua 4 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities 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. ##### Joshua Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Murray 19 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Murray Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shital 22 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing place. Don’t even think twice just book it. Hotel this beautiful nestled in beautiful coast of Santo, calm water, soft sandy beach and amazing luxury resort. We stayed in one of the plunge pool room with beach view, enjoyed every second. Only downside is food but you can eat outside the resort. Non motorized water sports were huge plus. You can’t go wrong with this place. All staff were super helpful and friendly. Average spa facility but good masseuse. Highly recommend this place. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a92f879e-eb32-40e2-9d37-e51f56bfd1bd-1763799488160.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9275cfe9-7173-4299-87e0-20c63d1d7e09-1763799505420.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/90efafac-7e2b-4d1f-9a3b-df22f87d51ea-1763799505572.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0b3620bd-477e-42e5-8d82-3c6d13971045-1763799532353.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Shital Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Happy 5 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service ロケーションと部屋は最高！マネージャーとホテル が手配したタクシーは最悪です。とてもビーチが綺麗で素敵なホテルでしたがマネージャーの態度が良くなかったのとホテル が手配したタクシードライバーの飲酒運転が原因で危ない目にあったので残念ながらもう泊まる事はありません。 ##### Happy Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Pat 10 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Pleasant setting; good facilities, bar fridge could be updated. ##### Pat Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 4 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The location is stunning - very relaxing.

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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jade 1 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Jade Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katrina 28 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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! ##### Katrina Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Incredible stay.
