Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Que lindo
Stayed for a week in Villa Santa Barbara and loved it. Everything was present and working. Barbara had arranged for bicycles, a taxi, and even had a dinner and beer waiting for us! The grounds were clean and well cared for. We loved Jon and Anel (caretakers) and really felt spoiled by their treatment!

Villa Santa Barbara met all our expectations
Accommodations were very clean and comfortable . Located on the canal close to town and beach. Water taxi transport from “ our” dock makes evening trips to town and restaurants very convenient. French baker stopping each morning with fresh croissants was a real bonus !!!!
Our hosts Barbara and Barry could not do enough to be sure we had everything ( and more) we needed. They went out of their way to help with my husbands mobility issues. Realizing the roads were not wheelchair friendly the bike was oiled and greased and road ready —— perfect transportation !!!!!
Barbara and Barry are the perfect hosts. Always nearby to answer questions and give suggestions. They went out of their way to make us feel we were home away from home.

Perfect Introduction to Barra de Navidad
Barb and Barry(owners) went above and beyond to make our first visit to Barra a wonderful experience! From arranging our airport pick to having our favourite snacks in our apartment awaiting our arrival it was like having your own personal concierge at your disposal. Our congenial hosts made for a stress free stay! Both the Premier and Junior Suites were well appointed and eclectically decorated. The property is well located and the attractions of Barra are within easy walking distance. We have no hesitation in recommending Villa Santa Barbara!

Over the Top Absolutely Amazingly Awesome!!
Absolutely without a doubt the best place we have ever stayed. Hosts were there to greet us and had already stocked our fridge with basic needs including coffee, milk, greeting beverages and tons of ice cubes (which most people don't think of but is great to have when you arrive after long flight into hot weather). The accommodations were over the top with comfort, great decorating, tons of amenities including our own private BBQ and eating area in screened-in porch just for our benefit, toaster oven, blender, juicer, coffee maker, well stocked with dishes and pans, and more and more. Maid came once a week to remake your bed, restock toilet paper, towels, wash floor, etc. The pool was warm and always very clean - floaties to enjoy while having a cold beverage. Book exchange if you run out of reading. Enough chaise lounges for everybody to enjoy the sun and shade under the big palapa when you need it. Bicycles supplied to wander around this wonderful little town of Barra de Navidad and travel to the next one also - Melaque. A local baker even stops by in his boat a few days of the week to offer morning croissants, quiche, etc. Great to sit and enjoy our morning coffee while watching the local fisherman head out for the day and passing within a few yards of our property. It's very quiet there but if you need a break from that, it's only a short walk down the street and around the corner to get into the mainstream. Hosts were always available with good advice on good places to eat and shop. We have visited 32 countries in our travels and this was the absolute best. Cannot wait to come back again!! Great job Barb and Barry!!

Paradise
Villa Santa Barbara is a beautiful casa located on the canal in Barra. It is a short 5-10 minute walk to town and the ocean- or you can choose take a water taxi which picks you up at the dock of the villa and drops you off in town! There are lots of great restaurants, shopping and groceries all within walking distance.
The owners, Barb and Barry, we're very welcoming - the fruit basket, wine, basic groceries and dinner on the first night were a nice touch and very thoughtful. Our suite was well appointed having a fully eqipped kitchen, fridge, stove, microwave and BBQ. The shared space around the pool area includes a large palapa and your own deck loungers and sun umbrella.
I think the most important part was that Barb and Barry do a fantastic job of making their house feel like your own home while you are there!

Fabulous place to stay in Barra!
This is a quaint, lovely, little boutique hotel. We were greeted by the owner, shown around the property and felt more welcome than we ever had before! Barbara is friendly and very informed about the entire area.
There’s a water taxi that takes you to shopping or restaurants. It’s amazing! We loved it and will go back soon. Don’t miss Villa Santa Barbara if you’re going to be in Barra de Navidad.

The Best of Barra!
This is a terrific property with delightful hosts. The photos do not do this unit justice - everything is designed and decorated with guest comfort in mind. Huge walk-in shower, double sinks, large fluffy towels and robes highlight the luxurious bath. The bedroom features a comfortable king bed, large closet and lots of drawers for clothes and personal items. Although the tropical breezes and well placed ceiling fan negated the need, the bedroom has air conditioning available. The kitchen is fully equipped and this unit includes a private outdoor barbecue. The living room floor to ceiling sliding doors showcase water views and original artwork that captures the freedom and adventure of a good vacation. We enjoyed afternoons lounging in the pool or under the palapa. The home is situated on a corner lot on one of the Barra canals, ensuring natural cross ventilation. Excellent wi-fi too! Highlight of this property are the gracious hosts - from the home made meal at the end of arrival travel day to suggestions about area activities, Barbara and Barry are the best. Solid referrals for drivers, boat captains, restaurants, bars, grocery stores, shops and day trips - they never steered us wrong. This property is a gem! We'll be back & will recommend it to our friends.
