The stay at Hotel Driftwood was real nice, and the ambience, interior decor, the clean well lit rooms with a cosy feel to them, the courteous staff members, the lip smacking food.. The fully air conditioned rooms have a great view with attached balcony, where you can smell the fresh morning breeze knocking at the window! The restaurant's Menu card... More

Went with family for a 1 night stay during Christmas holidays (Dec. 2011). And what a joke of a place. This hotel is one place that does not believe in making their customers’ happy and their stay comfortable. It is definitely the worst hotel that we have ever stayed at - and after having lived in India for 5 months... More

Clea rooms, nice restaurant, relatively nice staff. However, when it came to going to sleep, there was very loud banging from upstairs, children running around screaming and very... More

While booking, the rooms were advertised as sea-facing and I even booked the more expensive of the two room types available. Upon reaching the hotel, Rizwan - the receptionist, flatly stated that all sea-facing rooms were occupied and he could only give me a road-facing... More
