  This used to be one of my favorite places to stay in San Pedro but on my last trip I had a terrible experience. I was hanging out by the... read more pool when a local that wasn’t even staying there picked up my backpack and started walking away with it! After asking him to give it back multiple times and having him hold it out of my reach I took action and hit him. A fight ensued ending with me on my back bloodied and battered. After multiple death threats I retired to my room and spent the night nursing my wounds and having difficulty sleeping because I didn’t feel safe. Neither owner, Donna or Hailey ever reached out to me to find out if I was OK or to get my side of the story. Instead I found out later that I had been trespassed from the property for getting into a fight when in reality I was protected my property! I had valuables in my backpack. Essentially I was treated with a lack of respect and concern. No effort was made to address my concerns for my safety. This place allows locals who don’t even pay to stay there and hang out. Then when one of these locals commits a crime they don’t care. Stay here at your own risk!!! More

Hailey, one of the owners, helped connect me with the dive shop located literally right behind the hotel (Chuck and Robbie’s - which I later learned is the best outfit around) for my advanced certification. Stephanie made sure we had everything we needed during the stay, even after I accidentally poured a whole pineapple drink on the hotel laptop and crashed it! Mike and Eldon are awesome souls to hang out with in the evening and spend their days making sure the property is pristine.

Donna, the other owner, even invited us to her inland camp to spend a few days after check-out. Wish we could have indulged, but Christmas and family obligations didn’t afford a travel extension. The hotel made a great home-base to explore pretty much everything the area has to offer. Location was perfect. Most attractions in San Pedro are an easy walk, and the ferry to other areas such as Caye Caulker, is a few hundred yards south along the beach.

Golf cart rentals are available from a grocery just up the street as well as several other places. We arranged one at the airport from Mike’s Golf Cart Rental, and were not disappointed. You’ll need one at some point to get out to Secret Beach and explore other parts of the island, but there were days when we didn't use ours at all. Would probably rent one ad-hoc next time rather than for the whole trip.

One final point worth mentioning – I’m a US citizen, and I was initially concerned about travelling during a pandemic. Navigating the Belizean entry requirements was a walk in the park; the hotel made sure we knew exactly what preparations to make, and when. I felt safer from COVID in the busiest areas I visited in Belize than I do walking down the emptiest streets through my suburban neighborhood back home.

Wear a mask; wash your hands. Buy some beer to enjoy in the courtyard with staff and other guests after curfew - if one is in effect. After a full day of tropical adventures, it probably won’t take many before you’re off to sleep in preparation for the next day anyway. Travelling to Belize right now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The crowds are thin, the service is awesome, and the businesses are grateful for your presence. I'm strongly considering taking this place up on its monthly special for travelers working remotely. More

  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.

From the moment I arrived on the island... read more I felt at home and that feeling continued when I arrived at Drift Inn, which is literally steps from the ocean. I was warmly greeted by the staff and shown to my clean and comfortable room which was larger than I anticipated. The pleasant surprises and "welcome home" vibe continued at the adjoining Sandbar Restaurant for happy hour and everywhere else along the beachfront strip.

Hotel owner Hailey was nice enough to show me around via her golf cart and invited me to rooftop yoga and dinner/drinks with her local friends, making me feel even more at home on Ambergris Caye. Many of the people from all over the world that I met during my stay have become friends and I'm sure our travels will bring us back to Drift Inn for a reunion in the near future.

If you want a welcoming and enjoyable experience in Belize, find your home away from home at Drift Inn.

Other things close by - Dr. Dan’s office, Caye Mart grocery store, various dive shops, jet ski rental, etc. You can spend a lot more and not get all this for a very reasonable price. Hailey runs a great business and is always offering specials so just give her a call and tell her you read Tim’s review on Trip Advisor. I don’t have any deal with Hailey I’m just a local resident who uses her place as my go to “home away from home” I couldn’t be happier with her accommodations! More

Nothing fancy but the... read more price is right if you’re just looking for a basic room (no tv) - we really didn’t spend much time at the actual hotel because we were always up early to start our day! Stephanie & everyone at the front desk were always friendly & kind! We ordered pizzas one night from the sandbar & they were delivered to our room & they are amazing! I would definitely recommend this place if you want to be right on the beach & stay in town! It was perfect for what we were for looking for this time as it was our third time to Belize & San Pedro & wanted to stay right in town this time around. It was nice too because they had the nurse come right to our room in the morning to do our covid tests before heading back to the US! Very fast & accommodating. We had extra beer, alcohol & fruit juices leftover in the fridge so we thought as a tip we would leave it for the staff there to enjoy! They loved it! Thanks for making our stay perfect!
