Close to the airport at downtown Espiritu Santo. Shops and restaurants close by. The rooms were comfortable and the outdoor pool area and restaurant was beautiful. Food was great. Will definitely go again. Would be nice to have steadier wifi signal and hot water running constantly rather than at just certain hours of the day though.

My 20th trip to Vanuatu but first to Santo. I was very happy with the hotel, superb food all cooked on site & great staff. Will def stay again. You can add an egg or sausage to the continental breakfast if you like.The room was huge & a quiet A/C unit. Hot water in the shower without a miss.

Good but beware of windowless rooms

Everything was good except the room had no windows! The only daylight came via the bathroom. Ask for room with a view (or at least a window) when booking.

Pros: Great value for money located in the heart of luganville, manager Simon gave us great advice for must dos during our stay
Cons: Rooms had a strange smell to them, water from one tap in our room tasted like poison, free wifi constantly cut out
There's currently renovations going on, the espiritu is building a pool site. However in the meantime things are pretty noisy and dusty
