AMAZING AMAZING PLACE!!!

This reveiw is hard to keep short as so much happened at our stay during the Corona Virus period. We personally want to thank Calvin, Rob and Julie for all their help while staying at the Barrier Beach Resort, if i could give them and their staff 10 stars I would!!! We were greeted by Calvin's friendly smile at 8pm after a long day getting their due to our first flight being cancelled. On arrival Calvin greeted us and gave us a quick tour as we were tired. He kept the restuarant open for us as we arrived late and showed us to our beautiful room. In the morning we awoke to a beautiful beach to which we had realised we had been upgraded from a garden vila to a beach vila. We enjoyed our first day relaxing and using the free paddle board and scuba diving equipment in the beautiful clear water. The food in the restuarant was probably the nicest food we have ever had at any resort and for that fact restuarant we have been to. Unfortunately on our first day things started to turn for the worse as we had family back home telling us we had to come back ASAP as requested from the Australian Government, to which we then had to cut our honeymoon short and start find options to get home. Unfortunately this was a very stresseful process to go through and without the help on Calvin we would have been stuck. Calvin went over an beyond helping us and the other couple stranded to get our way back to Port Vila so we could fly home. He made numerous phone calls and emails to help us find a way home. He drove us personally to and from town to the Air Vanuatu office to help us get a flight home. It took us 4 days of driving into town and to the airport to try and get on a flight back to Port Vila and Calvin had no hesitation driving us to and from and did everything he could to help us. Honestly without his help I don't know what we would have done. With his help we finally got a flight back to Port Vila and he did not leave us until we were on the plane. We will be forever grateful for all his help and the amazing staff at the Barrier Beach Resort. We were so upset we had to cut our honeymoon short but we will 100% be back to finish off our honeymoon. Shortly after we left Santo and got stranded in Port Vila cyclone Harold came and destroyed a lot of Santo and the Barrier Beach Resort. We were relevied that no one got hurt but unfortunately a lot of damage was done. Once this pandemic has eased off and things are back to normal we would 100% recommend staying here. If you are looking for a peaceful, quite, beautiful place to relax we would hight recommend coming here. In our short stay we did manage to see some of the amazing blue holes, champaigne beach and my favourite place of all Port Olry. These place are a must when visiting Santo. Once again thank you Calvin for everything you did for us we will be back!!! Lee & Tracey :)…

A lovely stay

Julie and Calvin are delightful hosts and nothing seems too much trouble. They arrange taxis, tours and anything else you need to make your stay enjoyable. The food and service in the restaurant is first class and we put on a couple of kilos as a result! The water in front of the resort is clear and calm and the paddle boards provided were a lot of fun to use exploring. When our flight home was delayed Calvin was very kind and allowed us to keep our room for the day which we were very thankful for.

Expectations Exceeded.

From the moment we arrived, the extremely friendly staff treated us like family and that never changed. The beach is pristine and the water beyond blue. Calvin and his team, along with the resort’s layout and quality delivered a practically perfect week’s getaway. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be going back.

Paradise

This resort is just beautiful. The location is ideal and the facilities are excellent. However what really makes this resort are the management team and their staff. Calvin and Julie are welcoming and experienced hosts with a wonderful support team working with them that made our stay at Barrier Beach truly memorable, Deb & Greg McInnes

Idyllic and delightful.

We spent the most delightful ten days at Barrier Beach Resort, a stunning boutique resort on beautiful Espiritu Santo. Nestled up against a lovely turquoise bay and surrounded by lush rainforest gardens, BBR is an idyllic location to slow down and revitalise. We booked a lovely garden fare with plunge pool and spent a few nights there but were very generously upgraded by the owners, Calvin and Julie, to one of the new, executive ocean front fares. It was so lovely waking up to the calm beauty of the ocean and falling asleep to the sound of gently breaking waves. We spent our days cycling to beautiful local blue holes, canoeing, swimming and snorkelling in the sweet little reef at the front of the BBR. It was an idyllic and very relaxing holiday. The fact that the resort only contains 18 fares also adds to its sense of calm and beauty. The only thing more gorgeous than the locale and grounds, are the lovely staff who took such wonderful care of us. Thank you Rose, Richard, Rocky, Tony, Yvanna, Emmie and Katherine! We will definitely be returning to this gem of a place! Sasha + Frank. …
