The people and staff were caring and considerate. The only problem was, a couple of nights i had no water until about 5:30 am. If i used the bathroom in the night i could not wash my hands.

The staff more than made up for the shortcomings of the hotel. They catered to your beconed call. They made a point of learning your name and going out of the way to greet you and ask how you were doing. One of the staff even offered to walk with me a couple of blocks to the local museum.

The hotel is basic. The main building has a nice pool (cold) and bar area. The rooms are functional but has wear and tear, and a little run down. The beds are comfortable. It was ok for the price. The area is not the best, I would recommend staying out near a beach or with a family if you want better accessible sites. The restaurant was great when you could get the options. Supply options seem to be an issues as they were out of things, sometimes almost everything.
For comparison, this would be a hotel you would pay 10-20$ for in Asia.

Perfect stay, rooms clean, staff very friendly and helpful. The Espiritu has one of the main restaurants in town which was not only good food but extremely convenient. Also has one of the main dive shops attached for those interested in diving, if so highly recommend pacific dive. All in all a very pleasant stay and would definitely recommend!

Centrally located in town. Staff is friendly and helpful in arranging tours. The food in the restaurant was delicious. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. There was some traffic noise, but pretty quiet at night. Would stay here again!

This is a nice property right in the centre of the town. The only disappointing element of my stay was that part of my family couldnt get to Santo due to a medical incident and the staff at The Espiritu said they would consider a refund on the unused room we booked. They never replied to me - if they wanted to decline it, they could have. An answer would have been nice.

We also stayed in 2013. The refurbishment is excellent and has a mini resort feel but right in the centre of town. On-site restaurant has terrific food and efficient service. The pool is a fantastic addition.The staff are friendly and very helpful, and rooms are serviced daily.We dont mind stairs, but as rooms are on the 2nd and 3rd level, it might be difficult for some.

Right in the middle of town which is fairly shabby. Looks okay from the street but once you step inside it is a little piece of paradise. Pool is gorgeous, dining room couldn’t be prettier. Friendly staff. Comfortable room a/c keeps it chill.

We have eaten at the Tu Restaurant many times, but we spent our first night at the Espiritu just recently. We booked a family room on the third floor (counting the ground floor as #1). It was quite a contrast to our usual lodging in Vanuatu. For one thing, there were two bathrooms attached to the room, and both showers had hot and cold running water. There was not an outhouse anywhere in smelling distance. Good fly screens keep out mosquitoes in the unlikely event that any find their way to the third floor of this downtown location. Electric power to everything but the refrigerator is controlled by the room key. When we came in for the evening, we turned on the air conditioner and shut the windows. This effectively shut out (most of) the outside noise. My wife borrowed a couple of DVDs from reception. They were children's movies for our daughter to watch on the in-room TV and DVD player. I perused the internet. It was slow and had a 7168 MB limit for 7 days, but any internet in Santo is a big plus. The beds were very comfortable. We slept well. Our daughter enjoyed the pool as she always does when we come to the restaurant. The complimentary continental breakfast was available to order, rather than on buffet, but it was ample. If you are looking to experience the real Vanuatu, then this is not for you. If you are looking for comfort in the heart of Santo Town, then this is the place for that.

Nice hotel, great amenities. Air con works well but no channels available on the tv in the room. Staff is lovely. The hotel is in the middle of Luganville city, close to the supermarket, local market, few restaurants, pharmacy,...

Close to the airport at downtown Espiritu Santo. Shops and restaurants close by. The rooms were comfortable and the outdoor pool area and restaurant was beautiful. Food was great. Will definitely go again. Would be nice to have steadier wifi signal and hot water running constantly rather than at just certain hours of the day though.

My 20th trip to Vanuatu but first to Santo. I was very happy with the hotel, superb food all cooked on site & great staff. Will def stay again. You can add an egg or sausage to the continental breakfast if you like.The room was huge & a quiet A/C unit. Hot water in the shower without a miss.

Lovely hotel. We arrived on a Sunday morning not realising everything was closed. We hadnt pre booked a tour and all hire cars were booked out until the day we left. The lovely lady on reception was very helpful and called around to some drivers. We then managed to get a driver to take us up the east coast which was a lovely day. Hotel is in the best location. Rooms are spacious and clean. King bed sofa fridge kettle t.v. desk and bathroom. Pool and pool table which can be used. Food is lovely. Happy hour every day too. Would stay again and totally recommend. Thanks for having us.

Comfortable, clean rooms with air con and good beds. Family rooms have two bathrooms. Surprisingly quiet with construction next door and across road. Main supermarket 50m down road. If your luggage is heavy, ask for ground floor or you will be carrying upstairs. WWII artefacts on display in breakfast restaurant.

Very pleasant hotel in centre of town. Comfortable and spacious room and helpful staff. Good restaurant. One criticism: we hired a car from the hotel to pick up from the airport without meeting anyone first. The car didn’t have a full tank of fuel in, notwithstanding the paperwork noting that it did, and we were expected to take it back full. Hence we paid for more fuel than we used. The staff weren’t really interested in doing anything about it !
