  My teenage daughter (15) and I spent nearly a month here at Drift Inn; we absolutely LOVED it! The happy, creative, and contemporary decor makes this boutique even more special!... read more The upgraded mattresses and chilling AC made our room like a little oasis. The beach and reef view from our balcony and the warm ocean breeze relaxed us more than I could have imagined! We usually can only afford a week or ten day get away but the Drift Inn prices and comfort allowed us stay 30 days and to truly unwind.
We joked about all the fun things there are to do nearby for under $5 and the fact that you can eat local style meals for under $5.
The community freezer kept my rum cold and the fridge chilled my beer to prevent any bar bills at all the whole month!
Hailey and Donna make sure every need is met and invited folks out on their own excursions cause they’re just cool like that.

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. For cooking there is a shared kitchen on the ground floor. WiFi is available throughout the building, better in some spots than others. There are several areas to sit alone or hang out with others. 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. Thank you for a wonderful and relaxing stay and for the ride to the airport, much appreciate it! 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

I was a bit of a pain because of some last minute plans and they were so accommodating for me. I planned to travel here from Caye Caulker for 2 nights and ended up meeting new friends and staying an extra night in Caye Caulker instead of heading to San Pedro. 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.

A tall hutch to hang clothes which also included a warm blanket which was nice since this room had phenomenal air conditioning. 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.

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. More

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

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
