Hoped to meet other young people, party, do things but place was not that awesome, some people were cool but a lot of kids (forget about the pool if you are NOT a huge fan of 'Marco-Polo' game - all day long) but the beach is good, few bars around are cool. Good place if you are already with big... More

I booked four nights at this place this past summer, but ended up stay six! I first had a double room but four days in opted to change to a beach front suite with grill/patio extension. Upon arrival, I---like other reviewers stated too--- was left a key for an early check in---like the front desk attendant promised. In the morning,... More

This place was awesome. We arrived late and they had an envelope with a hand-written note to welcome us and give us our key. The place was spotless, the shower was excellent, and they give you cute little shampoo and conditioner bottles. It was everything you needed and nothing more- which is perfect for Montauk---you are there for the beach... More

A no frills motel. The ocean-front rooms are up to date, clean and comfortable. Internet access is a little slow but usable. Away from the hubbub of Montauk center and boardering Hither Hills state park makes for a peaceful atmosphere.

My extended inlaw family and mine have been coming to the Driftwood for close to twenty years, and hopefully will continue for at least another twenty. The location can't be beat. The place is about as casual as it can get. This isn't the Ritz, but maybe that's why we all like it so much. I don't think you're allowed... More

I come from a very large family and for the last 20 years all of my sisters and brothers with our familes each take a unit on the ocean at the driftwood for 10 days in July. I am hesitant to write this because we always want to keep the Driftwood as our secret. First off this is the most... More

Stayed four nights, June 9 - 12. Kids running up and down the wooden walkway, walls paper thin. Noise level extremely high. This is not your place for rest and relaxation. For a "suite" this was hardly an ideal setting. Management basiclly non responsive to my request to leave early without penalty. No mgmt on duty after 7 P.M. None... More

My immediate as well as extended family get together yearly out in Montauk for a reunion vacation. We are usually a group of between 20 to 35 guests. We have stayed at the Driftwood in past years and although there are always some issues and inconveniences we have overall enjoyed the resort and location. The rooms and amenities have been... More

This is a great place for family down time. We love the low-key facilities. If you need luxe amenities, then this place is definitely not for you. Its right on the beach and the ocean front units have their own BBQ grill. There's a pool, tennis court and simple activities room which are all great for kids.

We have been coming to Driftwood for years, and it just keeps getting better and better. The location next to Hither Hills is unmatched, as you have 2 miles of private protected secluded beach right next door if you want to get away. We stayed in the same room as always, #11, which is hands down the best room in... More
