Pros? Picture this: homemade marmalade that's pure magic, top-notch coffee, and a warm vibe all day long. Plus, the staff's hospitality and the killer day tours are unforgettable. Add in fresh fruit brekkie and a killer pool sitch - bliss! Nearby joints like Castaway Bar bring the spice too.

Stepping into the tropical garden felt like entering a scene from a romantic comedy—picture lush greens and vibrant flowers, while the birds chirp like they’re auditioning for a musical! the outdoor swimming pool was a refreshing oasis, perfect for lounging after a fun day exploring Dili's rich history.

Minor breakfast inconsistencies.

I always return because the staff once helped me with my lost jewellery. It has everything I need: Wi-Fi, outdoor pool, spa, and a great bar. Perfect for my holidays, I have no regrets coming back here.

Lovely staff, convenient location. Vegan menu available, great AC. Warm shower, beautiful garden and pool. Twilight poolside dinner enjoyable. Staff helpful with transportation arrangements.

We loved the tropical garden and pool, and the kids enjoyed the friendly staff. the restaurant had a solid menu with great coffee!

Felt fortunate, absolutely no complaints whatsoever!

Chilling by the pool was epic, and the food at the restaurant was fire. the staff hooked us up with dope transportation to cool spots. The vibes were on point, and we met mad cool peeps. Cons: More happening nightlife would've been wicked.

The grilled salmon at Hotel Esplanada's restaurant was a flavor explosion! Fresh fruit salads at brekkie were unreal, and the friendly staff were top-notch. Nearby joints like Castaway Bar and Osteria Italiana Dili added some serious flavor to our culinary escapades. Cons: While the outdoor area needs a spruce-up, the overall vibe still sparkled. Dust in the foyer needs taming, but the place still shines bright. Time for more munching adventures!

I really got great value for my money here;

Breakfast items could use more variety each day.

Mind-blowing staff, SUPERB beachfront location, yummy vegan options, and unbelievable hot shower experience! .

Staying at this hotel was a fantastic experience! the location was perfect, a bit away from town but with a beautiful view of the ocean. the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay truly enjoyable. the breakfast had a great variety, including fresh fruit salad. the pool was a highlight, we loved relaxing there in the afternoons. the rooms were spacious and comfortable, with filtered water provided. the nearly 24-hour restaurant and friendly Timorese staff added to the charm of this place.

One small area for improvement could be the availability of items on the menu. It took a while for us to find out what wasn't available, leading to a bit of delay in ordering.

clean rooms - great location across from the ocean – perfect for enjoying the breezy restaurant overlooking the seafront. got local tips from the friendly staff. loved the nearly 24-hour restaurant with an amazing cook.

100% Recommend.

The location of Hotel Esplanada was perfect, right by the coast with easy access to transportation. The restaurant had a nice view but limited menu choices. The rooms were comfortable with hot water, though WiFi was slow.

Great view of the sea from the restaurant, and the staff is very friendly. the location is also relatively convenient for getting around the city.

The noise from the street made it difficult to sleep, and the room was quite basic with no frills. the food at the restaurant was underwhelming.
