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.

Great place, trampoline for the kids, but no fridge inside the room. Just in the common area. Coffee and tea in the office at all times.

Loved that this property offered family rooms. There were two dogs on site that my boys fell in love with, along with the turtle and fish pond. Excellent value for the price!

We had a great stay with easy access to coracol and to call. The restaurant was good for what we were there for, though. If you want to see The nightlife of San Ignacio it's a bit out of the way. They did have a driver who is happy to shuttle you back and forth though. Overall, I would definitely stay here again

We very much enjoyed our stay and would certainly go back .
After a long day out and about it was nice to have the restaurant and bar to relax and enjoy a drink and a meal at the end of the day.
The only thing I would change is to have the plastic mattress cover replaced with a more breathable cover.

Rooms are basic. Matresses need upgrading. Has a great pool and trampoline for kids. Staff is awesome and friendly. Food is good. Try the wings!. Bar is same price as in town so no overcharging. Good place for moderate priced stay especially for a family. Lots to explore in the immediate area.

I stayed for three nights with my family of 5 and we really enjoyed our stay. The staff was welcoming and helpful. The family room was perfect with our little ones. The kids couldn’t stay out of the pool and the trampoline. This is a really good spot for day trips to the Mayan sites in the area and also close to the San Ignancio market. This is a budget friendly hotel that I would happily stay at again in the future

Was an awesome stay with our daughter and 2 grandkids. Had the family room, with 1 king, double, single, was perfect. Pool was great, kids had fun on trampoline too! Not any other restaurants within walking distance, was my only complaint. Their food was very good, just a little more expensive than our budget!
