"I stay here on every trip to San Ignacio. The cananas are trfurbished, the pool is always refreshing and beautifully lit at night. Their restaurant seeves Belizean style dishes as well as pasta and pizzas. The staff is always friendly and helpful and can arrange any excursions into the area and into Guatemala."

"Staff was great and verry accommodating. Food was not so good. One pool was a little dirty because they didn't have it circulating. The other pool was other other side of the property. The roads coming in were absolutely horrible. Very rocky and washed out"

Beautiful contemporary hilltop home with impressive panoramic view and pool

10/10 Excellent
"This property is absolutely stunning. It sits on top of a hill and captures an amazing breeze through the massive whole house sliding doors. It features beautiful modern architecture that blends seamlessly with the beautiful jungle view from the top of the hill it is perched upon. It is fully fenced/gated with a key fob for easy entry to the property. It feels extremely secure. It features lush, pristine landscaping all around which is lit at night for a peaceful ambiance. The pool is fantastic for cooling off after a day hiking in the jungle or exploring the myriad of local restaurants. The pool has a gate from the massive covered porch that can be extended to keep little ones out when desired. We would definitely stay here again."

Drift Inn Cayo

Drift Inn Cayo

10/10 Excellent
"We recently stayed in the family room and had a wonderful experience. The room was very spacious and included three beds—two doubles and one king—which made it perfect for a family. The bathroom and shower were also noticeably larger than those in the standard room we stayed in during our previous visit. Another benefit is that the family room is located on the opposite side of the building from the pool and patio bar. The pool area can get a little lively on weekend evenings, although the music and activity do quiet down later at night. We also really enjoyed the new menu at Chef’s Patio. It offers a great variety of options, including appetizers, breakfast, burgers, Belizean dishes, pasta, and other lunch and dinner choices. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and homemade. They were out of a few items during our visit, but there were still plenty of delicious options to choose from. The seating is outdoors under a large covered area, so it can feel warm, and bringing bug spray is definitely a good idea. The staff was courteous, friendly, and welcoming, with the relaxed and laid-back atmosphere you would expect in Belize. This was our second time staying here, and we enjoyed it just as much as the first. We look forward to returning again!"
