The hotel's location in relation to activities was excellent. The staff was very friendly. We had breakfast and dinner at the restaurant, and everything was very good. Having a swimming pool was a real plus after an excursion in the heat, although it could get quite crowded on some days.

Unfortunately Drift Inn in Cayo did not meet expectations. The room lacked proper maintenance and cleanliness, and although we raised concerns, the issues were not adequately resolved by the owner. The property has potential, but greater attention to upkeep and guest experience is needed.

“Have better access and protocols for such situations instead of the clients losing out all together.”
breakfast was OK. I did not like the fact I fell and lost my phone and cash in the process. No indication what so ever of the massive trench dug in the parking lot. I fell and twisted my ankle and lost my phone and money clip that was on the back of it. My bank card was with it too. Because the fall was so traumatic as we were leaving to have dinner in town, I was helped up and got in the car feeling embarrassed and in much pain. An employee came out and told me to go to the hospital and I told her im not going to a hospital here for a sprained ankle and we left as I was in agony. It was only whebn we got to the restaurant I noticed my phone was missing, we thought it may be in the car or back at the hotel. But when we got back the hotel showed me that they have cameras but no access to the camera in front where the cars are parked because the owners are out of town and no one had access. So I was never able to see who took my phone and cash because of this reason. I knew the thieves were still in the hotel as I could feel it. As I was sitting with my friends they were hacking my phone and stealing my money and Identification.. not a pleasant experience to say the least. The staff should have been able to access the cameras so we could have caught the thieves as they were still on the property. Very disappointing to say the least

The manager of this place was so so sweet and helpful throughout our entire stay! She helped organizing our trip to the atm cave and made sure we had all information. Their restaurant was closed due to some religious holiday but she made sure we were well fed by making us delicious sandwiches. Clean rooms and nice pool area. Wish I could have stayed a few more days.

“Overall a good place to stay.”
The food, pool and location are great. Santa Elena was one of the nicest places we stayed in Belize. The room size also great.

“Staff were all superb”
The staff were all superb and really helpful and made us welcome, comfortable and helped book tours and made recommendations for places to visit and things to do. Nothing was too much effort, and there were smiles all round. The pool was warm and accessible. There was a lovely pond with fish, tadpoles, water birds and terrapins.
