Our family really loved this oasis in the middle of the city. As soon as you stop through the front gate you’re in a comfortable setting with nice pool, clean rooms, and friendly staff. The room was clean and comfortable and the restaurant was delicious and so convenient. Staff was friendly and welcoming.

Overall, our stay was good. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially the lovely lady on reception. The rooms were ok. Limited choices for breakfast. A bit out of a way out of the main town of San Ignacio, so would be better with a car. Overall, I would recommend this hotel based on the price point

The Inn is small, quiet, and comfortable. The cats and dog on the property brought me smiles and the braver/friendlier cat was a lot of fun. The small pond attracts beautiful wildlife including my first tiger heron! I felt safe, had hot showers, and slept well. I wished the kitchen was serving but it was off-season and I found delicious food in town. Having a rental car made it easy to get to downtown and explore.

Paradise for the night!

We had a fantastic one night stay here! Service was so friendly, the room was spacious and clean. We absolutely loved the vibe here. We had dinner and breakfast and both were delicious.

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.

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

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
