  This was by far the worst stay of my life; I will he reporting what happened to the Belize Tourism and Housing Board, and have already reported it to the... read more embassy directly after these illegal violations happened. I am a yoga and English instructor, and traveled to Belize to teach and do conservation work right before the covid pandemic. I write this review so no one else has as awful of an experience as I did. I was stuck in Belize, and my puppy and I stayed here for a few days as I tried to get set up to responsibly wait out Covid. When I arrived, the girl there had told me there was construction, which was an incredibly huge understatement to say the least. There was direct drilling into my wall the entire time, and I had a young puppy. We both suffered and I had to leave. Before that, the girl came barging into my room demanding payment for a week despite the fact that the drilling made the space uninhabitable. She knew I had a puppy and that we were mandated by the government to stay in, and this jealous, and miserable woman put my puppy in there regardless. My puppy and I had to leave because of the noise and her insanity, and I offered to pay the daily rate. When I got there it appeared she had been drinking and had no contract or any way to pay. My screen was broken in a dangerous part of town during the pandemic, and the room was a disaster. There were no batteries in the ac remote. The dehumidifier didn’t work. There were bugs and cockroaches everywhere and it was uninhabitable. When I returned the following day, the girl had stolen my things and entered my room while I was gone. I paid for a week to avoid trouble and called the embassy to report it, and they helped me get on a last minute Repatriation flight. They told me to follow through with reporting this. She stole several things that I never got back regardless of paying, and literally screamed at me with the craziest look I’ve ever seen on a woman’s face. Do not stay here! I have two other places in Belize I need to report as well, they are Seven Seas (where a drug dealer was knowingly living next door and partying all day), and Chez Caribe (where the alcoholic owner crossed sexual harassment boundaries and also entered my space without my permission). Belize is an incredible place. Please stay at resorts and guest houses that are well established and able to show you the best of Belize. All of these places I am reporting are owned by alcoholic, abusive, expats. Stay away ~ stay safe ~

I would upload the video of the drilling that I will be reporting to the board of housing, but they only accept photos for reviews on this site.

  I absolutely loved this hostel! The room even with bunk beds was very spacious which is hard to find in a hostel! It had two stalls for the toilets, a... read more stall for the shower, and a stall for the sink all in the room! Not to mention lockers and a code on the dorm rooms! I also loved it was attached to the sandbar restaurant which means I didn’t have to go for for dinner! The outside sitting area and pool was also very cozy and inviting! 🙂 Last but not least I loved that the hostel had activities for guest on different days. I went out a boat ride to Caye Caulker and got to go snorkeling. Those are just two of the things we did and things I would have never been able to do if it wasn’t for the hostel! 10 out 10!! I will most def be back to stay at the Drift Inn! More

The Drift Inn is freshly painted and looks great. The pool area is beautiful and well maintained. There is an area in the back for lounging with a couple of picnic tables, a shared outdoor kitchen, and BBQ area where people like to socialize. There is also a small ‘plunge pool’ if you want to cool down. The rooms themselves are clean and good. There is a fridge, but no TV. The bathroom was adequate for our needs, but the shower did not have a lot of pressure. The drains had a dank smell which seems to be common in San Pedro. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this budget accommodation. More

Our tour guides did an amazing job of making sure everyone was taken care of and staying safe. As well as pointing out some of the most incredible marine life, such as huge lobsters, a flounder, and even an octopus! After Hol-Chan we zipped over to Shark-Ray Alley, for an amazing view of tons of massive nurse sharks. From there we slowly wrapped around the south side of the island, diving for lobster, and doing some fishing along the way. The crew made an awesome ceviche to go with the rum punch, on our way to Secret Beach. After a few drinks and some dancing at the Blue Bayou, we came back around to the front side of the island with a nice sunset to end the day.
The next trip was nothing short of amazing, as we set out for some deep sea fishing. Our guide Edfrank, clearly knew what he was doing, and made sure the tour was all about the tourists! Each person on the boat reeled in many fish. Right away in the morning he spotted birds form miles away, and where their are birds there are fish. I have never caught so many Bonita, and black fin tuna in my life. What a rush that is when u see the water bubbling from them jumping. After such a successful morning outside the reef, we went inside the reef and had an amazing beach barbecue, with ceviche, fresh tuna sashimi and bbq roasted tuna. We continued to fish as we slowly made our way back to the dock. At the end of the tour, the guide finished filleting the rest of the fish and gave us some tips on how to cook it. One of the best guided fishing trips I have been on.
The Drift Inn has been a fantastic place to stay in San Pedro, with many different room options and even a dorm. The lobby area is a great area to hang out and socialize with other guests, or just relax in the pool. I will be staying there again for sure! 10/10 would recommend!

It's 2021 now and I am still here enjoying the saulty Caribbean sea breeze and the amazing hospitality of Drift Inn. Hotel receptionist, Hailey, is just all around amazing.

Drift Inn is very safe for woman travelers. There are cabinets you can lock with your own lock and every door has a code. The dorms are not only female. I didn’t have a problem with that. The shower, toilets and sink are all separate rooms, so no one has to wait to use the facilities. I met many other women travelers in the dorms who were very nice and with which I went on excursions and out to eat. I really wish I would have taken the all day snorkeling excursion that the Drift Inn sets up sooner. The week went by so fast. I made so many friends! I can’t wait to go back again! The staff was excellent and very helpful and kind. Thank you Drift Inn for making my vacation memorable!

  We are a family of four and stayed twice at this superb place during our 3 weeks stay in Belize. We had two different rooms and both were very spacious... read more with multiple beds (one with 2 bankbeds for our kids), well working ac, a kitchenette with a decent, clean fridge, coffe machine (with free ground coffe) and a proper table to eat at. Drinking water is freely available on the corridor. My favourite spot was the balcony where I had my morning coffe (free coffe brewed at the reception at 8am) or listen to the evening noises while watching the palm trees in the evening sky. Honestly you couldn't ask for more.
We used the communal kitchen as well a few times - super clean, well equipped and it is outside so you actually can enjoy the cooking in a warm evening while having a drink and a chat. The food at the Sandbar (attached beachfront bar) is excellent and very reasonably priced, so eat there pretty much every day at some point of the day.
The hotel is well thought through with a layed back atmosphere, equipped for travellers and perfect for families with kids. I would only stay here if lucky enough to return to San Pedro. Unfortunately we only realised later that it has a sister Hotel on mainland (Drift Inn Cayo near San Ignacio), we would have booked it to stay there as well.
Would highly recommend this place to all ages, solo, couple or family stays.
