Clean, trendy property, well-located for a great value.
Pros:

The location can’t be beat if you want to be in the center of downtown San Jose del Cabo. We also loved how vibey it was without being pretentious. It was a real value.

Cons:

Honestly not much. There is so much good food around the property that I’m not sure we ate too much at the restaurant but drinks were good. I wish a bit more free water was provided.

All in all, this is a beautiful, peaceful hotel and we lived our time there.
Pros:

This hotel was beautiful with a very calming feel to it. Both the room and the property were unique and modern, and very well kept. There is a beautiful heated pool and seating areas in the central area. The customer service was excellent both before and during our stay. We would absolutely recommend this hotel and we would stay there again without hesitation.

Cons:

There was not anything that we didn’t like.

Always a great place to stay
Pros:

The location, the architecture design, the room, the overall experience is top. We will continue to come back

Cons:

2 suggestions:
- It would be nice to be able to charge the drinks on the room
- check out is 4pm and check in is 11, most hotels allow to check out at noon and check in at 3, it would be good to adjust this if possible

Pros:

Drift was a beautiful space that was so thoughtfully designed. The staff were lovely and the restaurant on site was great.

Cons:

There is a club next door that was playing loud music all night. Not this hotel's fault, but something they need to handle.

Excelente hotel para descansar
Pros:

La comida fue lo más rico de todo y nos encanto la atención del personal.

Cons:

En general todo muy bien, sólo el elevador es pequeño y sólo servía uno así que en ocasiones se tardaba mucho.

Pros:

Drift San José del Cabo is a stylish boutique hotel that perfectly blends modern design with local charm. The rooms are comfortable and beautifully minimalist, while the outdoor courtyard and pool create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Just steps from the historic center, it’s the ideal spot for travelers seeking comfort, community, and authentic Baja vibes.

Hurricane good time!
Pros:

We visited Drift on a trip to enjot the Mezcal selections. We returned this time to stay, and enjoy the Mezcal selections. The weather did not cooperate this stay but we were treated great by the staff and we still had a wonderful stay. Just wish it could have been longer. And without a hurricane.

Pros:

The hotel was nice, very boutique and comfortable. We liked hanging out by the pool, loved the food but especially the quesadillas at the hotel bar/restaurant and the Cabo coffee they serve is delicious!!
The kitchen staff were super friendly, the rest of the staff can benefit from the same smile and friendly attitude.
