The Espiritu

Nothing special; it is just an average hotel.

Breakfast.... that was worse

Staff make the place how it is, give it its personality. We stayed over new year and they put on a spread that was so tasty! Live music on the weekend aswell

The bathroom smelt bad occasionally and the shower was on off hot and cold. The biggest disappointment is the lack of cars available for rental- they seem to be sold out consistently

The hotel was centrally located in town so was good for getting your bearings and changing money, hireing a car etc before setting off elsewhere. An oasis in the mayhem. It also had nice pool and good menu. Comforable rooms and general area with a good bar!

Being in the centre of town means that you have to go a distance or do tours to find a pretty place. Town itself is hot and stinky, but this hotel is the oasis!

Room was spacious and clean. Restaurant was nice. Breakfast was basic but ok. Staff at front desk were very helpful when booking tours

There was some confusion about airport shuttles - no response to a request for one, then when booked for departure, it was not clear the fee was charged by the hotel so ended up paying twice. Staff also charged room for meal after I specifically asked them not to. Clearer communication needed about charges.

The people and service

We travelled for scuba diving so this hotel was great because the dive shop was based at the hotel. We were picked up promptly every day and taken to the dive site. The hotel is close to everything in town. Very close to the free ferry going over to the neighboring island where you can snorkel and enjoy a break from town. The breakfast was very basic with fruit, toast and cereal only. A buffet would have been preferable but you can pay extra and get a bigger hot breakfast. The lunches and dinners at the onsite restaurant were very good and the service was excellent compared with other restaurants on the island. We had a large room which was cleaned well every day. The hotel had a very social feel about it. The staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone.

Breakfast was a bit limited.

Loved the staff and the pool

Did not like that a panoramic ocean view was actually a building view and spent 3 hours resolving it. Write correct descriptions so guests don’t feel ripped off

Chef has 20 years experience on cruise line, menu was exceptional. All staff were friendly, efficient and happy. Accommodation was very comfortable, including bedding and pillows. Continental breakfast was included. Lovely pool and bar, outdoor dining, gardens. Location was convenient, bakery across the street. Staff made sure we were safe and secure during Cyclone Lola arrival by supplying towels, flashlights, water. Meals delivered to our room during that unsafe time. Hotel has a generator in case of power outage.

No bed side lamps for reading.
