  Rob, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you back on the island next year!

Would definitely recommend and cant wait to return.

The bar on site... read more is great with friendly staff and food good too.

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. More

  Hands down one of the best spots to stay at in San Pedro.
The location is spot on as it is in the middle of town and steps away... read more from everything, wether it is restaurants, bars, grocery stores and tour operator offices. The rooms are spacious and clean and have all the amenities that one needs on a trip. The people that work there are the absolute best, so nice and very helpful! We absolutely loved it.
Would highly recommend staying here if anyone is planing a trip to San Pedro.

Thank you guys for making our stay so memorable, we will definitely be back 🙂

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

  Been visiting San Pedro over the Xmas holidays for a couple years now, stayed in many different places around the island but Drift Inn is the best place to stay... read more for a couple reasons...
Location: exactly where you want to be. Beach, bars, shops, everything is walking distance. 5 min out of center of town so not to busy or noisy.
Accommodations: Clean, Air conditioned rooms, spacious. The room I stayed in had a full kitchen and all appliances were new 🙂
Staff: the reason I would come back. Always greet you with a smile and offer to help. For example I was running late for my flight home and Hailey offered to drive me in her golf cart. she is the best! thanks again Hailey! More

  I stayed in the female dorm at Drift Inn for 5 nights.

Accommodation: The beds are comfortable, but get quite warm and noisy with the plastic mattress cover.... read more The toilets and showers are cleaned daily, but the shower curtain is short, so water would often flood the hallway, making the floor slippery. There are lockers in the dorm, but they are small, so it can get messy with everyone's stuff lying around. Most people were tidy though.
Staff: All of the staff were really nice and helpful, but I didn't feel that Hailey (the owner) was very helpful or professional when asked questions. Another guest was locked out of the building because Hailey forgot to give her the code when she checked in. I was checked in by a staff member who was much more through and professional.
Environment: The hostel is busy with guests, who are generally really nice. The kitchen is small, but serves coffee in the morning and filtered water all day.

Overall a great stay! More
