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.

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.

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.

There was nothing that we didn't like, other than having to go home at the end of our stay.

We found ourselves out of our comfort zone coming to a country we knew so little about, staying on Santo Island exceeded our expectations. The staff at Barrier Beach were amazing, they were happy to interact with us and teach us their language. The service was exceptional. Everyone was so welcoming, going above and beyond to help us to navigate our way around the island and provide us with insight as to where we should go and visit. We went for some relaxation and it definitely fit the itinerary for that. The beach front fare was amazing, waking up to the birds and sounds of the ocean was magical, then when you open the curtain and see the amazing beachfront was spectacular. The food was always fresh and very well cooked. I couldn't recommend this resort more!!!

My only suggestion would be to replace the beach lounges as they don't function very well and maybe some beach umbrellas for those of us that are sensitive to the sun.

Barrier Beach is a beautiful location within easy distance of Luganville. The bungalow was lovely - very comfortable king size bed and great rainfall shower. We loved being lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves each night. We ate in the restaurant every day and the food was exceptional. The staff are friendly and no request is too much trouble. We were given a late checkout to coincide with out departing flight at no extra cost. Looking forward to returning to stay again one day.

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.

The villa is showing its age and could do with a bit of a freshen up.

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!

Nothing!

Amazing location right on a picturesque beach, we had a water front room. Beautifully designed resort using exposed timber, contemporary style with traditional touches. the staff were the best I've come across, they actually remembered our names and were very friendly. Meals were very good. It was good to have a massage on site. It was quiet, other guests were not loud and noisy and clientele mostly kept to themselves. It was good to have flippers to use.

Internet was very unreliable , however I believe that was the provider, not the hotel's fault. Meals and bar were very good but a little pricey.

The property is beautiful and quiet, with spacious huts and plenty of privacy. Nice views from the restaurant terrace. Fantastic and easily accessible corals in front of the property. Staff is very friendly and helpful. They arranged several amazing day trips for us. The restaurant has an amazing cook who cooks excellent meat dishes as well as Italian and Asian cuisine. The best we had in Vanuatu in 2 weeks - by far! We had to stay an extra night because of flight cancellation and the manager was very welcoming - even making sure our room was ready again when we returned. We were very happy to stay that extra night! Highly recommended.

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!
