  • ChiaraGermany · 10 Jan 2026 8Very good

    Liked : Very clean and friendly staff. They helped with tour / car bookings, and were open for a little chat.
    The rooms are small, but it is all really clean.

    Disliked : Generally good to know that there are only few places to enjoy the ocean. Most beaches are a car drive away. The hotel is very central and quiet with a nice pool, but if you want to enjoy the beach you need a car or driver.

    Love the Espiritu!

    Liked : I stayed at the Espiritu while in Santo on business and it worked perfectly. The rooms were clean and comfortable, Wi-Fi was reliable, and being right in the middle of Luganville made it easy to get around to customers. What really stood out though was the atmosphere — my customer took me on the local war museum tour which was an eye-opener, and back at the hotel the Friday night BBQ and karaoke was a highlight. Great food, plenty of laughs, and a good chance to meet people. The staff were welcoming and genuinely helpful the whole time. A great balance of work convenience and local experience — I’ll definitely be back.

    Had a great time staying here!

    Liked : The breakfast was amazing so many options, specially the French toast was my favourite so good! The staff were very friendly and accommodating, always trying to check in and make sure we were happy. The food at the restaurant was good value for money and delicious.

    Disliked : The TV only had three channels and one had no sound, they provide DVDs however our dvd player wasn’t working but we didn’t mind cause we had our phones and the wifi was good
