巴里耶海灘度假村(Barrier Beach Resort)

Perfect location on the island of Santo. We stayed in fare 9, absolute beach front location. Lovely large room and comfortable bed. Clear tropical waters and great location to everything in santo. The restaurant was amazing. Great food excellent service. A special thanks to Marcel and Rose always great service with a smile and always happy to see you. Breakfast, lunch and dinner with great prices and amazing views. We will be back. Thank you to all staff at Barrier Beach.

Whilst the site was nice, No.7 is not really an ocean deluxe and should be priced accordingly, as it wasn't a complete beachfront view, as it had a path to the beach. On the first night, the security lighting was kept on all night, not turned off at 10pm, therefore the light just streamed through glass doors, not conducent to an ocean front fare, with minimal sleep had, and no compensation, or even a sorry that happened to you from the managers. On account payment at the end of the stay, with both managers in the same office, not either one of them, asked, 'how was your stay" or 'thank you for choosing this resort". They just let the Emma the receptionist girl process the payment. For others who book, take note that snorkeling is not complimentary as per website and has to be hired as well for the snorkeling tour. Tours cannot be booked back to the room, like anywhere else in the world, they have to be paid with cash, so we only had enough cash for one tour. Just very disappointing for our birthday holiday trip, as this resort was supposed to have been the highlight of the Vanuatu holiday with paying for deluxe accommodation. I won't be recommending to friends and family to stay there, even though the Vanuatuan staff were friendly both there and at Port Vila.

We loved our stay at Barrier Beach resort. The beach is beautiful and the activities in the area are endless. I highly recommend Tim’s secret snorkeling spot (Tim’s Tours) and the amazing Blue holes are something not to be missed. It rained just about every day we were there but it didn’t take away from the pleasures of this beautiful island resort. The staff are so helpful and always willing to help in any way they can. Special mention to Marcel in the dining room. He seemed to be there all of the time and always with a friendly smile and love nature. We would definitely stay here again.

In my opinion, the best resort on the island. We travelled with 2 couples and had fare 6 and 7. Fare 6 is right on the beach and fare 7 just slightly back. They were both stunning, comfortable, clean and spacious. The staff is what makes this resort so amazing. The entire team are fantastic. The swimming right in front of the fare is fantastic but you need to go out a bit further to see the coral and fish life. We kayaked out to a reef and took snorkeling gear with us. We saw turtles, a dugong and lots of colorful reef fish. We went out with a local fisherman once, but no bites! Wish we had taken snorkeling gear instead, as $700 wasted really! He told us afterwards that fishing is very hard at the moment, wish we had known that before we booked. We did hire a car for 7 days and that was the best thing we did. With 2 couples it was more cost effective than doing the individual tours. If you can avoid the potholes and get used to driving on the right hand-side - well worth it. We stayed for 10 days and I could easily have stayed longer - lots to see and do on Santos.

While to site was nice, the ocean deluxe beachfront was not really beachfront for the price. Security lighting left on after 10pm, shining bright in the Fare/Bungalow all night, minimal sleep. Both Managers making us feel being ignored and not a valued guest... ie: no compensation for security lights on all night, not even asking at account payment, how was your stay? or thank you for choosing to stay with us. Snorkeling has to be hired, not what is stated on the website. All tours must be paid by cash, no availability of charging to room to pay on card. Just very disappointing for what was supposed to be the highlight of the Vanuatu holiday for the money that we paid for the deluxe accommodation, Port Vila was head and shoulders above in accommodation pricing and customer service.

Thanks to Wayne and his team for the most relaxing time in Santo. The resort at Barrier beach caters for all your needs and met with a smile. The fares allow the tropical breeze to flow through keeping you comfortable and each with their own deck enable you to see the gorgeous coastline if you grab a beachfront fare, but all set in gorgeous tropical garden. The restaurant is exceptional, Tony makes the most delicious cocktails and Cathryn will organise any of the activities you would like to tick off while you are there. All of the staff are so welcoming and just like one big happy family. We would like to thank each and every one of you with a special mention to Sophia, Rose, Marcel, Cathryn and of course Wayne. If you want a fantastic local tour driver we had a wonderful day with Lino who shared his local knowledge and culture with us. You will not regret staying here. A must!!!

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.

The food at barrier beach was AMAZING! Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The resort is beautiful and has such a nice vibe about it. Emmy was lovely and such a help in organizing us day tours, horse riding, etc. :-) thank you!!
