The Espiritu

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.

Very welcoming, helpful staff. Great setting with a nice pool and convenient restaurants close by.

Lovely hotel. We arrived on a Sunday morning not realising everything was closed. We hadn't 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 !

Overall good.. was for business so not bad

Had an absolutely wonderful stay here. Staff were friendly and super efficient, food and cocktails were outstanding! Spent most of the day in the pool drinking cocktails on the last day of our holiday and it was an unexpected gem. Well done to The Espiritu team! will definately be back and highly recommend.

The Espiritu is an affordable mid-range option in Luganville, located right in the centre of town. It has a beautiful pool, a restaurant and even an in house dive shop. Reception, kitchen and bar staff all lovely, and happy to help. The water cut out a few times while we stayed - however we still enjoyed our time here. Spacious rooms, with mini fridge, water bottles provided and a kettle :) Would recommend to friends. Happy hour at the bar (full price cocktails are fairly expensive!)

rooms do not have hot water !

We stayed for over a week in this hotel. The friendliness of the staff was great, the rooms were clean and serviced every day very thoroughly. We had breakfast in price of the stay but if there was one thing we weren't happy about, it was definitely the breakfast. Not only were they out of some stuff almost every day, they also mixed our orders on several occasions. On one occasion our servings of yoghurt (which is literally one tablespoon) were grainy, lumpy and tasted spoiled. The days before it was fine though, we never ordered yoghurt after that. Lunch and dinner services were fine with fair prices comparable to the rest of the island and very high food quality which we appreciated. We rented a car with the hotel without any problems which was fantastic and also dived with the company that resides at the hotels reception. Overally a positive experience.
