Drift San José del Cabo is a stylish boutique hotel that perfectly blends modern design with local charm. The rooms are comfortable and beautifully minimalist, while the outdoor courtyard and pool create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Just steps from the historic center, it’s the ideal spot for travelers seeking comfort, community, and authentic Baja vibes.

The hotel was nice, very boutique and comfortable. We liked hanging out by the pool, loved the food but especially the quesadillas at the hotel bar/restaurant and the Cabo coffee they serve is delicious!! The kitchen staff were super friendly, the rest of the staff can benefit from the same smile and friendly attitude.

Location was amazing. We split our vacation in two - 3 nights here for a “city” experience following by 3 nights at a beach hotel. We had so much fun exploring the city. We booked the “ Baja Suite”. Highly recommend paying the little extra for this room. It was very private and roomy. Hotel itself was very relaxed and pretty. Room was cozy and the staff were lovely. There is a spa next door where we had an awesome massage. Would stay again.

Alex helped my wife and me during our stay. He was very kind and truly tried to provide the best service, which made us feel well taken care of. The hotel has a lot of positives. It’s located right in the heart of downtown, so we could easily walk to great restaurants and shopping spots. Also, the room was clean and stylish. The only downside was the noise at night. There’s a club nearby, so it can get a bit loud after midnight. But the hotel provides earplugs, which helped us sleep better.

Lovely stay

Lovely stay, excellent location in Gallery/historic district. Walk to Art Walk and a multitude of restaurants. Rooms were ready upon early arrival with an offer of a welcome drink. Rooms are industrial in design, beds very comfortable and quality linens. Mezcal bar on site and food and beverage service. Small pool. We really enjoyed the Art Walk and celebrating a family birthday. Would recommend this small hotel.
