    Amazing hotel for trip. Very comfy bed, great-sized room with climate control, a safe box and a seating area. Clean bathroom and a walk-in shower with good sewerage. Great area, exceptional location, very close to the beach-which is about 20 meters away, and Jozani forest. Excellent service, parking nearby...

    I had the most relaxing time at Driftwood Beach Lodge. The location is absolutely stunning, with a beautiful white sand beach right in front of the property. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. The food at the restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced. I loved taking long walks on the beach and swimming in the warm ocean. I can highly recommend this hotel for a peaceful and enjoyable getaway.

    One small inconvenience was the lack of a fridge in the room to keep drinks cool. However, it didn't greatly affect my stay.
