I'm glad I did! The stay AC kept the room cool, everyone on staff was friendly and helpful, and I got to meet a bunch of interesting new people. I had a private room, though they do offer a dorm option as well, if that's your thing.

The staff is great and they helped me with directions and had a golf cart delivered to me at the hotel. The room was clean and the water was hot. Out front there are multiple areas to sit, relax and meet other travelers. They did an amazing job of getting everyone together and organizing events so you won’t be alone...unless you want to be.

Somehow day after day I found myself extending the... read more reservation for just a bit longer. 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. I've never experienced this kind of passion and dedication in any of my previous hotel stays. She really goes above and beyond to make sure her guests feel at home here. From midnight chess tournaments to booze cruises to borshchsht cook-offs this place has everything your heart desires! More

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

  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

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

  I planned a trip in April which was cancelled due to COVID-19. I emailed Haley to get a refund and she replied they will give me credit. I gave ample... read more time for my cancellation and she won't return my response to her email. I HIGHLY recommend not booking here!! Other friends of mine booked somewhere else and were refunded their money. This is horrible business! I posted a Facebook review and she commented saying she will refund my money 2 days ago but now will not answer my question!

  Staff were very friendly and accommodating. However there was an awful waterproof cover on the bed which was very uncomfortable.. and a nightmare to remove.
The bar on site... read more is great with friendly staff and food good too.
Good value for money.

  A friend and I stayed in the all-female dormitory for 4 nights of our low-maintenance tropical vacation. If you're looking for a bargain, then this would be a good place... read more to stay!
THE ROOM was basic. A majority of the nights I slept comfortably and I felt safe. My complaints are minute, 1) lockers are only compatible with smaller locks (not gym/school style locks), 2) there are no "quiet hours", so I was woken up by loud guests in the common areas after bar close (but let's be honest, that was me once), 3) there is minimal space for meal prep, so plan on eating most meals at restaurants or street vendors.

THE LOCATION was great! It's located just a short walk down the beach from both major water taxi companies, the establishment is conveniently attached to a bar & restaurant, and there is a booth for a decent snorkeling operation located right inside the adjacent Sandbar. Also, if you're the type for morning jogs on the beach, then this is an excellent spot!

THE STAFF were pretty nice, with the exception of the owner. She came off pretty abrasive and condescending at times. On occasion I found myself redirecting my questions to the staff at the neighboring Sandbar simply to avoid an unpleasant exchange.

Again, this place was a bargain and worked out well for my friend and me. More

  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 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

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

It’s also attached to Sandbar Restaurant which has great food and drinks with an awesome view of the water and dock with lounge chairs to soak up the beautiful Belize sunshine . A golf cart can be arranged for places farther than walking distance for a better price than renting other places. Hailey and Stephanie are both great hosts at the hotel and recommendations around town! There is air conditioning and hot water which is not always common in all hotels on the island. Especially for the price. Overall, it’s a great value for your money, the location is great, it’s safe, and I’ve always had the best experience. I would 10/10 recommend for a laid back quaint hotel experience, which is what I believe Belize is all about! More
