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.

The Drift is an interesting hotel but basic with very few amenities, no fridge or coffee maker in the room, not even a water glass. The bed was comfortable but no comfortable seating in the room. Lots of concrete. No comfortable seating around the pool. The staff was friendly and breakfast at the on-site restaurant was good. We would not likely stay here again.

Small, quaint hotel in the heart of art town. Many restaurants and shops are nearby. Parking was close, but no parking at all at the hotel or on its street. Very large, modern but rustic, nice clean rooms.

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.
