The people and staff were caring and considerate. The only problem was, a couple of nights i had no water until about 5:30 am. If i used the bathroom in the night i could not wash my hands.

The staff more than made up for the shortcomings of the hotel. They catered to your beconed call. They made a point of learning your name and going out of the way to greet you and ask how you were doing. One of the staff even offered to walk with me a couple of blocks to the local museum.

It was okay. Nothing to get excited about.
The hotel is basic. The main building has a nice pool (cold) and bar area. The rooms are functional but has wear and tear, and a little run down. The beds are comfortable. It was ok for the price. The area is not the best, I would recommend staying out near a beach or with a family if you want better accessible sites. The restaurant was great when you could get the options. Supply options seem to be an issues as they were out of things, sometimes almost everything. For comparison, this would be a hotel you would pay 10-20$ for in Asia.

Perfect Location
Perfect stay, rooms clean, staff very friendly and helpful. The Espiritu has one of the main restaurants in town which was not only good food but extremely convenient. Also has one of the main dive shops attached for those interested in diving, if so highly recommend pacific dive. All in all a very pleasant stay and would definitely recommend!

Centrally located in town. Staff is friendly and helpful in arranging tours. The food in the restaurant was delicious. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. There was some traffic noise, but pretty quiet at night. Would stay here again!

This is a nice property right in the centre of the town. The only disappointing element of my stay was that part of my family couldn't get to Santo due to a medical incident and the staff at The Espiritu said they would consider a refund on the unused room we booked. They never replied to me - if they wanted to decline it, they could have. An answer would have been nice.

We also stayed in 2013. The refurbishment is excellent and has a mini resort feel but right in the centre of town. On-site restaurant has terrific food and efficient service. The pool is a fantastic addition. The staff are friendly and very helpful, and rooms are serviced daily. We don't mind stairs, but as rooms are on the 2nd and 3rd level, it might be difficult for some.
