Tucked away in a tranquil setting in San Ignacio's twin town, Santa Elena, you'll find The Drift Inn Cayo Hotel and The Aguada Restaurant, named for a watering hole used by the Ancient Maya, and on our grounds sits a watering hole. This idyllic setting is attractively landscaped with blooming trees, orchids, iguanas, over 63 species of birds, and a lovely array of foliage and flowering plants. Combined with a charming atmosphere, attractive hardwood interiors, an excellent restaurant and bar, swimming pool complete with a patio, and all located in the best valued hotel in Belize; The Aguada is hard to beat. This quiet getaway is a welcome change from the hectic pace of downtown San Ignacio. Women and family owned and operated, the most distinctive aspect is the family atmosphere... we'll make you feel instantly at home!

I booked this hotel right after the new owners took over. I found the property clean and very beautiful. We probably spent hours looking at the fish and turtles in the pond. When we checked in they gave us wrist bands for the pool. I'm not sure why. After dinner and the best drinks the first night everyone in the place knew our names. They also got to know how we operated really quickly. The hubs and I would go the restaurant and have drinks or coffee while waiting for Mom and they picked up right away that when she showed up they got her drink order then came back for the food order. It was nice to have them anticipate our needs so effortlessly. This was a great place to call home base for 3 days of Jungle activities.

The wristbands are to show who is allowed to be on the property after hours as well as a souvenir for guests. I'm glad you enjoyed our little oasis in Cayo! We hope you choose to Drift Inn again on your next visit.

Maybe smoking is allowed here, I don't know. But I stank all over, because outside they smoked all the time. I didn't like this very much. I think the staff was smoking and I wrote a whatsapp message, but it didn't get through.

Hello Lisa, Smoking cigarettes is allowed outdoors in our ~3 acre property, but not allowed in our hotel units. I apologize that fellow guests were smokers during your stay. Our work phone broke this past week and it has been replaced now. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'm sure if you had brought it to our staff's attention in person they could have moved you to a different unit if they were smoking near your room. Safe travels.

Enjoyed it.. It was casual, clean, good food and great service. Grounds are well kept and the location is quite nice and away from traffic so you don't hear busses early in the morning. Nice. Recommend it to anyone.
