Great for the few days we had in San Ignacio.

For the budget, this place was excellent. The rooms were clean, showers were hot and powerful, the grounds were pretty and included both a pool and a pond with pretty trees. The Drift Inn isn’t the Four Seasons but it is a good place to spend a few days. HINT: get a pina colada at the pool bar - they’re delicious.

A lovely little reprieve.

We stayed here for a week while exploring the local area. The room was good and the bed was very comfortable. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant served excellent food and there was entertainment several times during the week.

Great location, easy drive to town. Staff very attentive. Enjoyed the pool and the kids loved the little game room in the reception area. Matresses were a little too firm and there was no shampoo or conditioner in supplied in the bathroom.

This place is not ideal if you don’t have your own transportation. The restaurant is closed Monday/Tuesday and options in the area are limited and those are the days we were there. The pond and pool are nice. The bed was comfy.

We had a wonderful time at the Drift Inn. We had booked it for 2 nights, and decided to stay a 3rd night. One night they had a local drum band preforming, which was amazing! What I did not like was witnessing, a firing of an employee in front of people!!! Very disturbing and disrespectful!

Drift Inn is delightful, nothing spectacular about it, but the front desk staff were awesome! They arranged all our tours, called a taxi whenever we needed, informed us of kitchen closures, and gave us fresh towels after 4 days of not seeing the cleaning staff. They did a great job! Bikes are available for rent, but these bikes are single speed, not comfortable, not easily adjusted, and poorly suited for the hills in San Ignacio. We tried them one dsy and just walked or took a taxi if it was evening. The room was vlean when we moved in, and we were fine with not having the rooms cleaned daily, but you may prefer to ask for daily cleaning. Apparently it's available. The food on site was really good, but we found so many truly special restaurants in San Ignacio nearby that it was hard to pass them by!

Natalie

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
While the staff was very welcoming and happy to oblige, the building itself could use some love. The on-site restaurant had a very limited selection, despite the menu. Many items were unavailable. The toilet in our room and by the pool would plug or simply struggle to fully flush most times. What bothered us most was the noise. We had a room on the back side of the property and it was VERY loud of traffic at all hours. The dogs, while cute and friendly, would bark late at night or very early in the morning. All of this seriously impacted our ability to have a good night’s sleep. The price was very budget-friendly, but we were willing to pay a little more for a better rest so we decided to check out a day early.
