The staff are amazing and the facilities are great! We were there with my two young daughters (Alex and Peyton) and the staff honestly made the trip, my girls were in love everyone and were always playing with them. Their service is also amazing, could not fault them! The food was also amazing!

Such an excellent hotel in the middle of town. The facilities are great but it is the staff that makes the difference. Such a great team delivering excellent quality food and beverages. 2nd time I have stayed here and I'm amazed it has even improved over my last visit 5yrs ago.

The Espiritu offers a pleasant place to stay if you want to be in walking distance of everything in Luganville. Pleasant dining by the pool, some of the best food we had in Espiritu Santo and the warmest, friendliest service you can imagine.

Excellent hotel with a very friendly feel because the staff were always happy to help. Nice communal area next to the pool where you can sit and enjoy a meal or just a drink. The dive shop is based here so a great place for divers to stay. The onsite restaurant has good meals for lunch and dinner and the service is very quick compared to other restaurants we tried on the island. The rooms were cleaned well every day. Overall a great place to stay.

My wife and I had a great four-night stay here. We arrived in quite bad shape after an odyssey through the outer islands in the middle of a cyclone and an ongoing battle with Air Vanuatu to find a flight that would actually take off as planned, but we immediately felt at ease when we checked in here. The staff were wonderful, the room was comfortable and quiet, the food was excellent, and the bar/pool area was great for lounging around in and relaxing. Although their rental cars were all booked out, the front desk staff arranged a vehicle for us through another company, which we appreciated - had a great drive up to Port Olry, which was stunning. We'd strongly recommend The Espiritu for all trips to Santo. Also, a special shout-out to Sleven, the driver that the hotel arranged to take us to the airport - he went above and beyond, helping us out when our flight was (predictably) cancelled, taking us back to town, advising us on what to do and how to deal with Air Vanuatu, and picking us up again the next day to discover the long-awaited miracle of a scheduled flight to Port Vila that did actually take off -- late, of course, but at least on the correct day.…

The beer was cold, the food was delicious, admin staff were very helpful in assisting us with hiring a car even though we weren’t staying at The Espiritu and the restaurant staff were so beautiful! We would like to say a huge thank you to our waitress Bizzy who was super friendly and accommodating.

We had breakfast, lunch & dinner here for a week. The food is fresh and is reasonably price with excellent service by staff. The kitchen staff were always happy to take our late dinner orders despite of our group not staying at this hotel. We will continue to dine here whenever we are in luganville town.
