Do not come here if you want to sleep during the night. There was incredibly loud music with a thundering base playing until 3 in the morning! We could not sleep, even with earplugs. We even went down and asked the staff but they said it was a neighboring locale and they couldn't do anything about it. Then palm-tree trimming started at 7am (with a chainsaw right outside our window). There was a bright light in the hallway on all night and with the room door being glass and having no curtain, we could not get the room dark at all. The minimalist design meant there was almost nowhere to put our belongings that wasn't the floor. They did nothing to atone for this upsetting experience. We also got diarrhea and a stomach bug the next day and we can't know if it was the welcome drink we got at this hotel or food we ate elsewhere. (I suggest to skip the welcome drink anyway, it was watery). We stayed 1 night here after having been in Mexico 7 days already with good, quiet experiences in other places and no stomach bugs up to then. The only good parts were: The hotel was clean and the cement design looks kind of cool. The staff were friendly and helped us find a post office and get a cardboard box to try to mail something.

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.
