Quite a good cheap place. Great location.
Only issue was no wifi available during my stay.
Thank you for your hospitality and accommodation. I really enjoyed my stayed at Drifters. Special thank you to Mendez. She made my stay stress free and was always nice and respectful to the guests. The housekeeper and security guard were also very helpful and courteous. I will definitely be returning soon. One Love. ❤️
You arrive at Drifters as a guest and leave as FAMILY!! Ive stayed at numerous hotels in negril, all very nice. However, Drifters is simply Magical! I booked originally for 5 night stay but the connections and experience I had there made me extend my stay 2 more nights!!! I WILL be back! So much so, that Drifters will be tired to see my face. Lol. A Massive Thanks n Nuff Apprecilove to you all! Sharmaine from Mandeville xxx 😃🙂😘
Owner was rude and dishonest , she rent one room with three person accommodation . And asking for extra payment . Puddles of water on property , very dirty . Worth what you pay for.
Super awesome location just steps from the beach. Space to park your car and be near all the action on the beach. Bar right next to hostel and other bars and eating places nearby. Only 2 problems: 1. internet is spotty at best. 2. Not hot water for showers - cold showers, ouch!
