Barrier Beach Resort

To the team at Barrier Beach Resort, thank you for a wonderful stay with such big smiles. To anyone considering staying, I cant recommend enough- lovely appointed rooms, stunning view with absolute beach front, big smiles every where. Everything you need to have a truly relaxing and memorable tropical getaway.

My husband and I didn't actually stay at this beautiful resort, we stayed in a villa along the beach up further, but we went to this resorts restaurant for the 7 nights we were there. Amazing food and wonderful friendly hosts. On the day of our departure, we checked out of our villa, went to the airport to find our flight had been delayed 12 hours. We were welcomed with open arms by the lovely managers at Barrier Beach. We used their lounge area, dined in their restaurant and even had showers before our late night flight. We were so thankful for their friendliness and hospitality, even when we weren't their guests. I would most definitely recommend Barrier Beach Resort. P.S The water is exactly as the photos show. So Beautiful !

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.

We spent 7 great days at BBR. We stayed in Fare 6 which looked directly out to the beautiful beach. The staff are wonderful & very helpful, specially Marcel, Rose & Catherine to name a few. The food was very good, though one or 2 meals where more a child's serving size. I felt our mattress to be very firm, a mattress topper would fix this. The house keeping staff were great & happily helped us out when needed. We had 2 amazing massages whilst there - I would definitely recommend a stay at BBR.

This place is absolutely amazing in every way from the stunning rooms to the extremely nice and helpful staff and who could ever forget the picture perfect views everywhere you look. This has been by far the best place I have ever stayed. The minute you arrive you feel like family and treated like royalty. They were also so accommodating when our flights got delayed. We can’t wait to go back again and again.

Its nice, great setting, wasted on an awful host. The local staff are great/amazing/cant do enough for you. It is run by an Australian man who seems really nice & helpful, and his partner - a nasty piece of work woman who is too lazy to even make a bed, wont look you in the eye and ignores you completely when you say you are not ok. They tried to move me to another room a lot less expensive than the one I paid for because the key snapped on the lock - then there was an agreement to swap me with another guest - they did not change the bedding and did not provide fresh towels though it was requested multiple times. Rooms were swapped but they changed nothing. Sometimes things happen on holiday, its how these things are addressed that you judge a place. Barrier Beach Resort left me feeling like dirt, like scum, I was ignored, I was treated badly by the manageress and I would not recommend this place until she is removed. A change of sheets, fresh towels and a free drink - that would go a long way to bringing the tolerance back but nothing. Not a single thing. Not even an apology. It was pretty disgusting.

We were staying at another resort but chose to eat here one night. Unfortunately it was a very wet night so they had to the plastic front down. We were made to feel very welcome & the Manager even came over and introduced himself. We enjoyed are entire meal and they have a great cocktail list.

My Mum and I stayed ay Barrier Beach Resort for 7 nights in Oct. After reading the reviews I thought it almost sounded too good to be true, but I can now say all the wonderful reviews are spot on. This place and the people that work there are awesome! Beach was beautiful and the water temp was so wonderfully warm. Food was delicious from breakfast to dinner. The view of the beach from the restaurant is fab and we thoroughly enjoyed the musician that played on the Friday night. Our Fare was lovely, exactly as described and seen in photos. We had a great view of the beach, plenty of room and everything was spotlessly clean. We loved being able to book tours through the office at the resort. The staff were so helpful recommending tours and organising them and taxi's for us. We did a tour of some sort 5 out of the 6 full days we were there. There are many beautiful and interesting attractions near the resort. The managers and staff could not be more helpful, friendly, professional and kind. Thank you Wayne and Sabine!
