Hurricane good time!
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.

Very intimate and beautiful location right in the center of El Centro and the hotel blew us out of the water. Extremely clean room, friendly staff and extremely accommodating. Felt like a hidway from the breaches and felt close with all the locals. Recommend 10/10

buena opción en general
muy bien ubicado en la parte turística de San José, la comida muy rica del restaurante.
Lo único que no me gustó es que no tengan la información clara en su anuncio y al llegar te cobren una propina obligatoria por haber reservado una habitación, (no es por algún tipo de servicio recibido) es simplemente por reservar una habitación. Nunca habia visto este tipo de propina obligatoria y sobre todo que no esté en su anuncio.
