I have my Inbound travel agent business "Wrecks to Rainforest" right in the front of The Espiritu Hotel, located in the best location in Luganville town, so handy to go all the shops/bars/restaurant. Rooms were all renovated recently with nice lounge area & reception area and lockable diving gear washing space for the scuba divers. Prices are very reasonable, the... More

We stayed at the Espiritu for our honeymoonin March and I was overwhelmed by the service at the hotel. I have worked in the travel industry for over 4 years now and it was the most impressive mid class hotel that we have stayed at. Raymond the manager/owner went above and beyond our expectations and helped us book our day... More

I stayed in a Delux Balcony room for 8 nights, while visiting a friend. It was spacious and light with a great balcony overlooking Santo's main street and out to sea - great for people watching. The room had air-condtioning, an ensuite, a small fridge, jug, comfortable bed, and large flat screen TV with a DVD player (with DVDs available... More

We stayed in the Espiritu (Apex hotel) 2 years ago and it was a great budget option. Now with all the renovations it is a great mid-range option. We stayed in the Deluxe Balcony room and Deluxe Family Balcony room. The family room was particularly spacious with a sofa area and even 2 bathrooms! The beds are very comfortable. There's... More

After a few very rustic days in Tanna it was great to check in at the Espiritu. Great service from Raymon, the very helpful young manager who was always ready to help during our 3 night stay. He organised tours and suggested restaurant options...don't miss the Deco Stop for sunset/ dinner just a 10 min walk uphill. Really lovely! We... More

I'd like to begin by saying that I have stayed at backpackers all the way through to 6 star hotels and I have to say that I was very pleased with the genuine service and reception received from all the staff at Espiritu and especially the manager Raymon.

Our four night stay was at the end of a 16 day visit to Espiritu Santo and other islands. Our experience proves that despite any issues, great management and staff will more than make up the difference. Despite technical issues (power outages ) the staff and management went out of their way to make our stay relaxing and pleasant. Rayman's... More

The first thing you notice about the hotel is that it's clean and modern (which is unexpected for Luganville). The room was clean, modern fittings and a very comfortable bed. Airconditioning worked well, as did the free wifi. If you're diving, there is a fully fitted gear wash-room and secure storage for the same. Central to town and a great... More

The bedding is up there with any of the big five star hotels anywhere else in the world and they have some amazing oversized pillows. Would love to know where they got them. The room was large and comfortable and the property in general is well maintained. They have free wireless internet and good sized TV in the room. If... More
