From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt calm, stylish, and welcoming. The design is modern and minimal yet incredibly comfortable, and every detail feels thoughtfully curated. My room was spotless, cozy, and beautifully put together — the kind of space you look forward to coming back to after a long day. The bed was especially comfortable, and the little touches throughout the room made a big difference. The staff were friendly, professional, and always happy to help with anything I needed. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and the overall vibe of the hotel was relaxed but refined. The location was perfect as well — easy to get around, with great spots to eat and explore nearby. I’d definitely stay at Drift again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, stylish, and memorable place to stay. ##### Sophia Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rory M 27 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Have stayed at Drift twice.

Pool is huge, late check in process was smooth/well communicated. The "2 bed" apartment itself was small and tired, one shower head not working, holes in walls, lighting not working. Disappointed to pay $40/night extra for a rollaway bed that didn't come with a blanket or towel and wasn't even set up. Overpriced overall for what it is. ##### Stephanie Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth 11 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great quite location right across the beach, beautiful surroundings ,we liked the BBQ facilities ##### Elizabeth Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Natalie 9 Sept 2025 Liked: Communication #### Short stay in Palm Cove I was there for a long weekend break.
