Super awesome location just steps from the beach. Space to park your car and be near all the action on the beach. Bar right next to hostel and other bars and eating places nearby. Only 2 problems: 1. internet is spotty at best. 2. Not hot water for showers - cold showers, ouch!

Happy Days

What a absolutely, awesome month I enjoyed at Drifters in January 2021! Drifters Hostel caught my attention with two main attractions that I like, live music and a minute away from the beautiful Seven Mile Beach. Experiencing live entertainment, three times a week, during these crazy times reassured me that music and live entertainment is the best medicine to cheer ya up! I met so many wonderful people, from all over the world, during my stay at Drifters, all of them are now life long friendships. One Love ❤️ One Jamaica 🇯🇲
