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.

I had a bit of a hard time getting my card for incidentals to go through, as I had to try many different ones (all from the same bank, though). Other than that, it was a great experience. The on-site staff was gracious and accommodating, and the food was delicious. The location is super convenient, and the hotel grounds are well-kept. I loved the room (although the shower spills a bit of water, it's not a big issue for me). The style of the hotel is pretty cool, I would be back for sure. I loved the welcome mezcal and the cocktails.

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.

Beautiful hotel and kind staff. It's mostly self-service besides the restaurant/bar, but overall it's a perfect place for a solo traveler or couple. The room was beautiful and the property is stunning. You really cannot beat the location - it's on a quiet street, but a block from the square and the best restaurants in the area. A few things to note: 1. Sound from the restaurant really carries (my room was directly next to it) - It was just one night and on a Sunday, but I've heard they have DJs on weekends and I imagine that would be quite loud. 2. I was only there for a quick stop, but I imagine the exposed shower in the middle of the room wouldn't be the most practical for daily use.

Alex & staff were amazing & so friendly. The location is not easy to navigate. Street parking only and most importantly, this is a big party hotel bar & area. They give you earplugs to help with noise. The ones they provided were not very good but luckily I had a pair in my luggage that worked. But, loud music until 4 am & roosters crowing at 5 am. Not great if you came here to sleep. Seriously, Alex was so friendly and obviously concerned. I’m sure he has to deal with this often. I know carpet is against the eco- friendly theme, but it would help. The hotel sends out a text around 8 explaining quiet hours from 8 pm to 6 am. Hilarious. Someone needs to inform the bar.

Sooooo noisy on a Thursday night. DJ on property played till 2330 but then the surrounding clubs were very noisy till 0400. Not restful or relaxing. But.... the property is beautiful and the stagf is amazing. Only complaint about the room is it was so stark and minimalistic that there was no place to set luggage or unpack. Concrete didnt help with noise absorption. Would't stay again for price.

Beautiful photos of the hotel - the reality is quite different. Rooms are small and glass door to each room is only source of light. Zero privacy unless this is closed with curtains. Toilet was less than 2 feet from the pillows of the bed. Shower wouldn’t drain. Extremely loud music from 11pm-5am from nightclub next door. They then had the cheek to charge me $50 in a “resort fee” to “use their surf boards and the pool” - pool is tiny, inch-thick mattresses laying on concrete next to it. Also pool was in shade virtually all day. Surf boards - had no idea where these were, the venue was 2 miles from the beach. Felt like a total scam. Very unhappy with my stay.

So the hotel is beautiful and the setting is serene. Downtown SJ Cabo is quaint. However…the hotel is directly across from a huge nightclub and the music is BLASTING until exactly 4am. I’m sure the hotel will respond that I’m a ‘light sleeper’ etc but that’s absurd. You can hear the music from the nightclub 5 blocks away and in the hotel the walls shake from the bass. They warn you about the music at check in and suggest you wear the earplugs provided in the room. AirPods Pro don’t it so maybe the Bose Quietcomfort or some enterprise grade noise cancelling headphones if you can sleep with them. Otherwise good luck to you, you’ve been warned and will be complaining along with everyone else. Your best bet is to find out which nights the nightclub is open or avoid this place like the plague.
