Beware! Updated to responded to the owners response. We did call, over a year later since we were originally told no expiration on our credit due to a NATURAL DISASTER. Being in the Keys I think you throughly understand! We reviewed our credit and a date we were considering. At the time NEVER were we told that there was an expiration… we would have figured out a date to use it had there been a time constraint. Again, on that conversation we were never told that we had to use by a certain time. Mind you this is over a year after cancellation. Seems to me they had no intention of honoring our hotel credit. Poor communication and poor management! Again, rethink booking this location as you may nit get truthful information nor get to use your credit. So many other hotels to visit so I would NOT give the business. Would give this 0 stars if I could. Poorly run management. We had to cancel a reservation years ago due to our area being a direct hit for a hurricane!! A natural disaster emergency. When we canceled they said they couldn’t refund since the hurricane was not affecting their area… Fine… credit it is. Of course we were not going to leave our home and our pets when we were having a hurricane warning and had to prepare, so we accepted the credit. When asked we were told that the credit would remain on our account until we used it, no expiration (I asked). Never told anything pertaining to an expiration date! Called to book, while the original booking/cancel was a few years ago we expected to have our credit since that is what we were told by their staff, BUT the woman said oh I see you had a credit but it was only good for 1 year! Excuse me? That was never mentioned when I specifically asked. So they just get to take our money for a service that was never rendered! Very poor business. Period again there’s so many other places To choose from. So choose wisely who you intend to give your money to because if an emergency happens, they just take your money and lie about offering a credit for a room you paid for.

Has a motel/campground kind of vibe but rooms are nice and clean. Free kayaks are a nice bonus and a lot of places to sit by the water. They ran out of towels and several guests were upset, but otherwise I enjoyed the stay.

The staff were super friendly with a laid back vibe. The room was spotless, and the shower was great. Loved that we had access to bikes, kayaks, and paddleboards for free & the beach area was beautiful. Really great atmosphere, would recommend to anybody.

Cute little spot in Key Largo. The staff was very nice and helpful. The rooms are clean and have everything you need. Ours had a little kitchenette, which was convenient. Great seating area down by the water. Loved sitting out on the dock watching the water. My only Complaint would be that the cleaning products they use are very fragranced. Myself having sent issues it was difficult for me staying in the room. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

A great option! The staff is super chill and friendly. You can use kayaks, snorkels, and bikes upon request. There isn't a lot of sand to play in but plenty of water to swim in. There's a mangrove field around the corner to see on the kayaks. You can fish from the dock or snorkel around. Lots of fish to see. It's very convenient in location between Islamorada and North Key Largo. Lots of restaurants nearby. The bathroom is tiny and if you get a room with a couch, it's a fold down futon (not very comfortable). There is a kitchenette with a dishwasher, refrigerator, and microwave. They include utensils (which is awesome because taking food to go in surrounding restaurants don't give plasticware) I have been to many hotels around Key Largo and this one is in the top.

We loved our stay at The Drift Hotel in Key Largo! The property was very clean, with beautiful views that made it the perfect place to relax. We had such a great time paddle boarding and kayaking, and loved that it was included for free! The swings by the water were so peaceful and made the whole experience even more relaxing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet, beautiful getaway in the Keys!

Awesome little hotel with it's own beach. Paddle boards, kayaks etc. All free to use. Super friendly and helpful staff. Not too much nearby, although Snappers for bar and food was about 10 minutes walk (I'm British) but you could drive ? Probably as reasonably priced as you'll get on the key. Rooms are amazing/modern with small kitchen etc. Highly recommend.

I had such an amazing experience here!! Luci was very sweet and helpful because it was my first time on island - she really helped us a lot!! We checked out 2 different spots before deciding to stay here. The room was IMMACULATE and I really liked the decor as well. Beautiful beach area. What a hidden gem!! I can't wait to come back!

Highly recommend staying at this hotel! They’ve got a great setting for fishing off their pier, with a shaded area and chairs to relax. Complimentary kayaks, paddle boards and snorkelling gear. Very friendly staff. The room was very clean and had everything we needed.

Great location, we decided to stay here because of the beach, its beautiful water, you can do fishing. We stayed number 21, beachfront , queen and king bed room, amazing view. Simple, beddings and sheets was clean.but rooms need better cleaning service. Doors are really dirty, please make it better cleaning, change your cleaning service. We love the 2 star hotel, we never stayed and enjoyed like this
