Positive: We had the best time at Drift. The location is perfect (right off the main strip but just far enough away to be quiet and peaceful). The vibe is beautiful with all the plants/trees surrounding the building. The rooms are spacious with good aircon. The best part about the stay was Kannan. He is so kind, friendly and very funny. He was so helpful and always went out of his way to assist us (eg surf board hire, dinner recommendations). He is also the best surf coach - some amazing tips and took us to some less crowded surf spots which was great. We loved our daily sunrise surf sessions. We will miss seeing him everyday! We highly recommend to stay at drift! We really didn’t want to leave but will definitely come back
Negative: NA
