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.

I booked myself a single king room. Upon arrival i found they had given my room to someone else and put me in a room with bunkbeds and a broken tv. I needed the basics like toothpaste and shampoowhich they offered non of. Not even to buy in their store. Literally used a bar of soap the whole time which was no biggie as i dont like to complain. The resturant isnt marked. I had no clue where to order or even stand or if there was waitresses... like nothing was posted anywhere. I asked the receptionist and she was annoyed from the begining. I ended up ordering food thru her ...she never told me to sit in the lobby which was actually the restaurant and someone will come get my order. I ordered food the entire first day this way. The first morning after ordering my food i chose a spot by the pond which was pretty. They had turtles in it and fish. The railing was broken/owner came out yelling repairs across the resturant to maintenance/After the long wait for my food I ate a few bites, went to get more coffee & turned to find a cat on my table eating my food/Next morning i wanted to change my order from one ToGo to 2 orders ToGo, i couldnt find my waitress/The owner was right there so i asked her/She went and changed the order and humiliated my waitress/Then belittled her to me/ that night i ordered a burger and waited over 45/After I left i was contacted about sunglasses i left in room/they said they would hold them until my friend cohld get them.

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!

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.

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.

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.

The beds were large and comfortable and the pool was awesome for my kids after the long excursions. However, I am glad we only stayed 2 days because the toilet in our bathroom did not flush and, despite telling the front desk about it (and them telling us someone would fix it), no one ever addressed the issue—we left with the same clump of toilet paper sitting in the toilet that was there from the first day we arrived. Luckily, there is a washroom off the pool area and in the lobby; however, if you know your toilets are on the fritz, maybe don’t book guests until it is fixed. Also of note, some of the other guests were very loud and inconsiderate, which I do not blame on the facility; however, if the walls and doors had better insulation, maybe the noise would’ve been at least somewhat reduced. Overall, I would not stay here again because the only thing that blew us away was the pool.
