One thing to be aware of is clubs/bars around the hotel can be quite loud late into the night. Be prepared with noise cancelling headphones.

Drift Hotel had the best service I’ve ever had staying at any hotel, anywhere, in my life. From the time of booking through the time of check out, the hotel staff was extremely accommodating. I went deep-sea fishing one day and caught a large marlin. I asked the hotel if I can store the meat in their freezer and they were able to accommodate this. The next day I asked if they would be willing to prepare some of the fish for dinner for myself and my group however they wanted to. They were very excited to do this for us and went above and beyond. They prepared the fish for us 4 ways - sashimi, ceviche, fish sticks, and tostadas. The dinner was so special and amazing and one that we will never forget. The food and drinks at the hotel were in general incredible and we often ate at least one meal or snack from the hotel each day. The breakfast tacos and burrito are particularly delicious. The pool was very relaxing and the hotel grounds and design are beautiful. The location is perfect if you’re looking to stay in the San Jose Del Cabo city center. I highly recommend this hotel.

Too short! Loved the welcome drink, the bathrobes, the room! A coffee in the morning on the house would have been lovely, all hotels in US provide coffee in room or in lounge. Overall great experience- we’ll be back!

They need to figure out what they are - party hotel or serenity retreat? Can’t be both. Very welcoming staff. Our room was as shown on line. No surprises. What surprised us was the evening noise from the restaurant/nightclub house music pounding until 3am. The obnoxious, loud and annoying guests next door. Front entrance alarm went off for what seemed like forever. The hotel doors are frosted glass, offering no noise or light cancellation from the hallway. There was absolutely no reprieve from either. There’s no one to call for assistance. It was a horrible night. No serenity here.

Great location, within the Art District. Their AI concierge was very communicative in preparing for arrival. The hotel offers perks like complimentary welcome drink and sun hats, surfboards, beach towels for lending. The rooms and property very aesthetically pleasing and calming. Would stay here again. Only downfall is no closet or drawers to unpack but a full length bench can be used as space.

The property although esthetic especially the common areas was not a warm comfortable place. The concrete everywhere in room was not conducive to relaxing. No chairs to sit on. No where to hang clothes or put clothes on. Massive concrete bath and shower in middle of room not practical. Water everywhere. A couple comfortable chairs and area carpets would be a good start. For the cost of this place and what is mentioned above I would not stay again or recommend it.

The design is beautiful and the food and drinks were delicious. However the parking was impossible due to a protest the day we arrived. The rooms were quiet but the lack of shelving for toiletries and lack of hooks for hanging up clothes was frustrating. Also the lack of coffee makers or available coffee in the morning was disappointing. Nice hotel but needs to improve the amenities.
