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. While I have to say that the experience wasn't flawless, with a... More

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

Had a great experience at The Espiritu. The hotel has everything you need: spacious rooms with AC, TV and hot shower and Wi-Fi access. Staff is very friendly and helpful and the hotel is very well managed by Raymond, who has a lot of local knowledge and gave us some great recommendations for day activities as well as restaurants.

As a first time visitor to Espiritu Santo I was very disappointed and shocked by the state of the island and the main town. Dirty, old, dilapidated, in desperate need of repair and run by the Chinese. The Espiritu Hotel is in the centre of town and close to everything but there's not a lot to be close to. Rayman... More

I had a wonderful experience at The Espiritu. Friendly staff and management, made me feel right at home, located in the center of town, but just minutes from everything! Very affordable, excellent connections with local guides and knowledgeable enough to get you there without guides if you choose. I would definitely stay there again!!!

We came to santo as an exploring trip to dive the Coolidge and potentially plan a big dive trip over here. We were greeted unexpectedly at the airport by Simon and a driver, he knew us by name and was very welcoming. Simon and Ray are great!!
