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.

I loved this place it was absolutely heaven! I love that all the water activities were free and you could just go grab a kayak snorkel gear or SUP board anytime and the free bikes I just loved. The staff were also extremely friendly everyone calling you by name it was just really special :) also if for some reason on your trip you need wifi it is very good and works really well ...had to hand in a uni assignment while I was there and I was worried about being able to do it but sure enough the wifi was was really good

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
