We may be biased, but we genuinely believe we have a little piece of paradise waiting for you — a place to slow down, switch off and reconnect with what holidays are meant to feel like. But don’t just take our word for it. Our guests have been sharing some wonderful recent reviews on Tripadvisor, praising everything from the warm welcome and beautiful surroundings to the relaxed atmosphere and memorable experiences. Their words mean the world to us, and they say far more than we ever could.
Relaxation
"Once again Barrier Beach Resort delivered peace and serenity . All the troubles of the world melt away … we had a beautiful ocean suite , nothing was any trouble for the staff … lots of smiles and happiness. Sean and Janine were attentive and respectful and constantly checking in with us. Food was varied and delicious … the lime cheesecake was a big hit … we loved that we could snorkel out to the amazing reef , colours are incredible… coral is very healthy and fish life galore. Massages and facial were amazing. We will be back … this was our third visit"
Memorable Experience
"My partner and I stayed at BBR for 7 nights, and it was truly an amazing experience. We weren’t exactly lucky with the weather during our stay, but the beautiful resort, stunning beach, and most especially the incredible staff made our holiday truly memorable and exceptional. ❤️
We would especially like to recognise some of the wonderful people who made our stay so special. A big thank you to Jackie, Sophia, Walter, John, and Tony from the dining team, as well as the managers, Janine and Shaun. And a huge shoutout to the kitchen team — you are truly some of the best chefs in town! Every meal we had was exceptional, and we genuinely looked forward to dining every day.
Overall, the entire BBR team deserves recognition. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly, and attentive, and their hospitality really made a difference to our stay."
Barrier Beach Resort, pick of the bunch
"Barrier Beach is an adults only resort which we stayed at just for just under a week. The resort is perfectly positioned along the East Coast of Santo making it an easy launch to Luganville, and most of the attractions on Santo. There is many but one standout is the beach the resort is positioned on. Few resorts in that area have the white sand beach that Barrier Beach Resort has."
Beautiful people, beautiful resort
"Wonderful resort, extremely welcoming and helpful staff. We had a great room on the water with beautiful views and sounds of the ocean. Sean, Janine, Katherine, John, Ymee and many others made our stay very nice"
Spectacular resort, even better hospitality!
"I have just spent 11 nights at the spectacular Barrier Beach Resort and I do not have one bad thing to say about it! From the crystal clear water literally on your doorstep (excellent snorkelling!), amazing food and cocktail with absolutely delightful staff. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff helped us organise tours and gave us some great tips! Stunning rooms and you feel far enough away from the rest of the world but still with WIFI to stream and relax! Management were just so kind and caring when my flights were cancelled due to weather. Absolutely lovely people who went above and beyond at all times. Possibly one of the loveliest resorts I’ve ever stayed at, highly recommend!"
One of the best holidays we have had!
"Set in an insanely beautiful location, Barrier Beach Resort was simply wonderful!! All of the staff who work there were so friendly, professional and knowledgeable and made us feel so welcome. The rooms were perfect for what we required with extra touches, like having a sarong on hand, and pots for larger tea and coffees. Having access to stand up paddle boards and kayaks was brilliant, and booking trips was made so easy. A good morning from Milly the chihuahua everyday made it extra special. Exceptional!!"
