This was my second stay at the Esplanada in 12 months. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is lovely. Sitting upstairs overlooking the ocean is an experience not to be missed. Highly recommended.

We have had a lovely stay. Comfortable rooms, an extra mattress was provided for my daughter at small extra cost. Pool makes a refreshing dip after hot and dusty sightseeing. The staff are very friendly. A walk along the beach front or a short taxi or minibus ride away to sights.

The restaurant is breezy and has a very good and wide selection of food and drinks that I had not really expected. This is not a five star resort but a nice relaxed place to stay. We able to leave a bag in the hotel whilst we did a 3 day side trip to Atauro island.

I stayed here with a school group I was traveling with. The kids love the pool the breakfasts were great and the meals of an evening were fantastic. It was nice to be able to walk out of the doors and be on the beach. Airconditioning was good and the bed really comfortable
