Beautiful Ocean View Rooms

My husband and I stayed at Driftwood for a few days, and we loved our ocean view room. It was absolutely beautiful with a lovely view of the ocean. The kitchenette was well-equipped, making our stay very comfortable. We enjoyed the spacious living area, and having our own little private 'mini beach' was a bonus!

Charming Poolside Relaxation

The pool at Driftwood was fantastic! Although we spent most of our time at the beach, I did take a dip in the pool once, and it was clean and refreshing. We had a lovely view from our back balcony overlooking the pool, making it perfect for relaxing with breakfast in the morning.

There are playgrounds and the beach staff is very accommodating, making it easy for families to enjoy their time here. It felt like a safe and relaxed environment for children, which is something we appreciated during our stay.

Great Outdoor Activities

As someone who loves outdoor activities, I was thrilled to find that Driftwood offers tennis and basketball courts. They were in great condition, and it was a pleasure to have options for exercise right on the hotel. This really added to our experience and made our stay even more enjoyable!
