We loved Driftwood Garden Guesthouse! We stayed in the studio for three nights. The place was immaculate, convenient to everything, the hosts were so friendly, accomodating, and full information on the area. We loved the screened in porch. Do not hesitate to book here. It's a 5 star guesthouse.

The room was basic but very clean and comfortable, felt very beachy and homey, and the screened in porch was amazing. Fantastic location, layed back hosts, clean sheets and good water pressure. Amazing value for money!

Clean, comfortable in Placencia

The apartment is excellently located in Placencia. The owners who live above do a great job communicating. They have bikes available that got us down the town to the local beach. Lots of restaurants around and a store across the street. An extra bonus was use of the laundry downstairs. It was a big help since we were heading back into the jungle and needed to refresh our pants and long sleeves. The apartment is beautiful and comfortable. We especially appreciated the two terraces to eat and relax. Tour company picked us up onsite. Driftwood was a great choice.

This is a beautiful, clean property very close to the sidewalk in Placencia. The hosts were GREAT, check in was a breeze and the AC was cold!! They have a small but deep pool on top of it all!! I highly recommend Driftwood Gardens and will definitely stay again.

Great communication with the owners. The property is much nicer and larger than it appears in the photos. The pool is also much nicer than it appears in the photos. The location is very central and I would highly recommend. We stayed here towards the end of a two week trip to Belize and it was nice to have a full kitchen to cook some meals after eating out so often

We loved every moment spent at Driftwood Gardens. It was hard to find as the signage is not obvious from the road, but either than that we had zero issues. The unit had every detail we could want from kitchen utencils to bathroom needs. The owners were friendly and gracious. We will be back one day!

During our recent stay, we were thoroughly impressed by the cleanliness and tranquility of the accommodations. The hosts were incredibly personable, ensuring our comfort throughout our visit. What stood out were the detailed instructions provided for both the condo and local eateries, which made exploring the area a breeze. Without a doubt, we would eagerly choose to stay here again in the future.

We had a great stay. The place easily accommodated 2 parents and 3 kids. The house had the charm of a beach house. The location was within easy walking distance to beach, grocery store, restaurants, etc. We made good use of the pool. The owners couldn’t have been nicer. We were very happy to have stayed.

Room for three

The location is beautiful and perfect for relaxing. The owners live on site and they were so kind, and helpful. We arrived much later than we had planned but Paul stayed up to welcome us and give us the tour. In the morning we were greeted with a loaf of fresh made bread and mangos picked straight off the tree. We cannot compliment or recommend this enough.
