I had an amazing time at the Driftwood Motel! It’s a fantastic place with a beautiful private beach and pool right at your doorstep. The rooms were updated and very clean, perfect for a family getaway. The only downside was that the cleaning staff seemed to be a bit limited during my stay, which made things feel a touch less tidy than I’d hoped. Overall, it’s a great value for the price, and I’m already excited to return next year.

The private beach and patio with a pool were lovely places to relax, though I wish the pool chairs had been sanitized more frequently.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, just steps away from the beach and the pool area was a lovely spot to relax. The rooms were clean, but we experienced some inconveniences with the musty smell and outdated furnishings. Overall, it was decent value for money, but improvements could definitely be made.

Our stay at the resort was quite an experience. While the location was incredible with beach access just steps away, the room left much to be desired in terms of comfort and cleanliness. The service overall was hit or miss; some staff were welcoming, while others seemed rushed and less helpful. The dining options were basic, but it was nice to have the food shack nearby. Overall, it's a great spot for families, but be prepared for some minor inconveniences.

The room was a bit muggy and showed signs of wear, with the bathroom needing some serious cleaning. It was also a downside that there was no bathtub, which would have been useful for my toddlers.

The Driftwood Motel is a delightful place with very clean and comfortable rooms, making it a great family-friendly spot for relaxation. The location offers easy access to both the beach and the pool, which are fantastic for enjoying quality time. However, cleanliness could be more consistent across all areas, and it would be nice if the snack bar was more reliable. Overall, it’s a wonderful experience that is very affordable for what it offers.

My stay at the Driftwood Motel was truly enjoyable due to its excellent beach location and the beautiful pool area. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but I found the standard rooms on the first floor lacked sufficient natural light and had a musty smell. While the amenities were decent, some aspects like parking and towel supply were a bit inconvenient. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a beach getaway, especially for its value.
