I had a mixed experience during my stay at Hotel Santo Vanuatu. While the beautifully maintained gardens and pool area were a great spot to relax, my room had significant issues that detracted from my enjoyment. The lack of hot water and general room conditions left a lot to be desired, though the hotel’s location in the heart of Luganville was a definite plus.

The room I stayed in was not in great condition. The bed felt unstable, and there were stains on the sheets. I also encountered a cockroach, which was unsettling. The shower situation was disappointing, with low water pressure and no shampoo provided, just soap in a plastic bottle.
Service
5.0
While the staff offered some assistance, I felt that there was a lack of proper communication, especially regarding the breakfast included in my stay. The manager didn’t seem to prioritize our comfort. The offer for a different room with hot water was appreciated, but I was discouraged from an upgrade.

The hotel's location is excellent, right in the center of Luganville, making it easy to explore the area. It's also conveniently close to the airport and surrounded by beautiful gardens.
Dining

Breakfast options were tasty, but I missed out on them due to a lack of information from the staff. I ended up paying for meals elsewhere, which added up. However, I did find the traditional dishes served on-site appealing, when I finally got to try them.

The common areas, including the garden and pool, were well-maintained and provided a nice place to unwind. However, I found the facilities lacking in some basic comforts that would have elevated my stay.

I had a mixed experience at Hotel Santo Vanuatu. The gardens and pool were beautifully maintained, but the room I stayed in desperately needed improvement. I was surprised by the lack of amenities like shampoo, and the manager didn't inform me about the included breakfast, which cost me extra money. Overall, it felt like I didn't get what I paid for during my four-night stay.

Rooms
5.0
The rooms are in pretty bad condition, with issues like a rolling bed and dirt spots on the sheets. There was even a wet spot near the toilet, which was uncomfortable. The low water pressure made showering difficult since they just provided watered-down soap in a bottle instead of proper toiletries.
Service

While the staff was kind and proactive, I found it disappointing that I had to ask about breakfast options. The manager didn't make an effort to inform me, which cost me additional expenses.

The gardens and the pool area are well-maintained and offer a nice place to relax. However, the lack of proper room amenities and the need for a lift in quality overall were negatives for me.

I stayed at Hotel Santo Vanuatu for a few days, and I have mixed feelings. The retro vibe of the hotel was charming, but there were definitely some drawbacks. The location was fantastic, making it easy to access both the airport and town, though some amenities didn't meet my expectations.

The Garden Room was clean and I appreciated the small fridge and coffee station. However, I had issues with the water pressure during showers and the fan had only two settings: on and turbo, which felt a bit dangerous.
