Drift Inn is a great place to stay for 20-somethings or people of any age! I traveled alone half the time and had my mom with me for a few... read more days during my stay. The hotel was affordable enough for me while still checking all of her boxes on what amenities she needs. The place was nice and clean and we had a private bathroom. When she decided to turn in for the night, I stayed downstairs in the courtyard or at the bar to socialize with fellow travelers. It is really easy to meet other people and have a fun time! I actually met several groups of people in SoCal that I keep in touch with. Great vibes. More

It's connected to Sandbar which is actually a fantastic hub where lots of travelers and locals frequent. The fresh fruit smoothies at breakfast at Sandbar kept me going. Staff was attentive always, the coffee is actually pretty good so that was a nice perk. I'll stay here again some time soon.

She even set up my snorkeling and fishing tours, and came with to ensure everyone had a great time! On the snorkeling trip we left in the morning for Hol-Chan and arrived bright and early. 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!

  Such a lovely place ! Myself and my partner don’t often book hostels as we’re in our late 20s/ early 30s but after reading reviews we decided to give the... read more Drift Inn a shot and I’m so glad we did. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, the people were great, the dorm room was clean and cool and the location is perfect - right on the beach with a gorgeous pool.

Snorkeling tours:

Went out the first time for a half-day snorkel at Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley. Chubs and Jerry were great teachers for first-timers and knew all of the fish and wildlife and showed us where to swim and how.

Towards the end of our trip, we took a full-day snorkel and fishing trip toe Caye Caulker: several people caught some fish and lobster and conch. We saw lots of sharks and sea turtles at Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley. We saw so many sea horses and bright and big star fish. We also were lucky and saw THREE MANATEES and they let us slide off the boat to swim with them. We also fed the Tarpon fish and that was a great experience. Jerry helped me get some really good pictures of me and my boyfriend and the wildlife. Very professional and very nice guys. 10/10 More

The rooms are extremely affordable, with all my basic needs met: great wifi, hot water, cold a/c, and a comfortable bed. Clean rooms. Housekeeping available by request, which is great for when I didn’t want anyone entering my room. The location is prime, in the middle of everything.
No view, but THE place to base yourself in San Pedro for great customer service, good vibes, and central location. 100ft from the beach, restaurant, grocery store, and fruitstand right next door. Cheap food options and nicer restaurant options both in less than 5 minutes walking distance. More

I was a bit of a pain because of some last minute plans and they were so accommodating for me.

It was absolutely no problem and they allowed me to check in the next day. This was my first time in a hostel setting so I opted for the private room and bathroom to acclimate a bit. The location was perfect, walkable from the water taxi terminals though golf cart rentals were plentiful nearby.

The bathroom was also spacious and the water pressure was awesome, as well as the temperature. There was a shared patio space with a few chairs and not much of a view of the island, but overlooked the amenities of the courtyard and small pool below. The walls were thin so you could hear your neighbors but no one was too rowdy and the shared spaces in the courtyard were nice if you wanted a change of scenery from hanging out in your room. They were doing some kind of repair nearby and a yappy dog made for a bit of morning noise but not a huge deal. I was given a bracelet which allowed for discounts at certain places which was a great and unexpected touch. I was also provided with a binder full of information for my stay. Sandbar had great drinks and a late-night menu and I got to talk to some really cool guests and the bartender was awesome. They have a dock area across a sandy path equipped with chairs and tubes to float in, which was great to hang out and watch the water. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the perfect place for my short stay in San Pedro. I will definitely be back so that I can explore more and take advantage of all of these great amenities.

The rooms are clean and basic with a simple island aesthetic. There are mini fridges in several of the rooms, with a shared microwave and bottled water in the upstairs hall.

There are many food options within walking distance. The owner/operator, Hailey, is awesome, she was responsive prior to and during my stay. I also had the pleasure of meeting her mom, Donna. This is a great place to stay for solo travelers of all ages, especially women, and I was fortunate to meet several during my 11 day stay. I also loved having all the cats running around! Despite the stress of dealing with Covid-19... extra cleaning, mask wearing, a curfew... I felt safe, comfortable, and happy, I was so sad to leave.
