I stayed at this hotel recently with my wife. The location is great as it is right on the beach. The room was relatively clean. However, the bathroom did not seem very clean and it is tiny. There is no tub and the door hits the commode. Neither my wife not I are very large people. I can't imagine what... More

This is my go-to beach motel. It is beautiful and charming, and right on the beach. The friendly service cannot be beat. (Be sure to say hello to Huck!) The grounds are awesome- lush gardens, little details everywhere you look, patios and swings and porches....it is so romantic. Each of the rooms is outfitted with odds and ends "antiques" creating...

I stayed for 2 days/nights at the Driftwood Inn and couldn't have been happier, both with the hotel and the town. I checked out a couple of the other hotels/motels in town and wouldn't stay at any of them. Thank goodness the Driftwood is there! The first neat things are the beautiful Great Dane behind the counter and the Parrot... More

This motel is like a Victorian Inn. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Mexico Beach with it's white sugary sand and blue waters. The Driftwood staff were very nice and we fell in love with their talking parrot in the lobby. It is right on the beach and a pleasant atmosphere to relax, read a book or... More

This place has character, but it's just not very nice. Worst feature of my room: the bedsheets were the wrong size so they kept coming off. It would be OK if it were cheap, but it's not. More

I knew this was risky based on the lack of pictures and information on the website but my new husband and I were will to take the risk because the Driftwood Inn was right on the beach and we wanted a few days of beach on our honeymoon. It had potential. Here is where things went wrong. We stayed in... More

My wife and I (on our honeymoon) stopped in Mexico Beach by pure accident and it was the best time we had on the trip. It is a beautiful small town with no tourist traps. The Driftwood Inn was the perfect place for all our needs in Mexico Beach. 1/2 mile walk to Ruby Rum Runners and Marleys. Two nice... More

Lots of different rooms to choose from. Really nice garden. Lots of water features. On the beach so the views were amazing. Its only about a 15 min walk to Toucans, the only beach side bar & grill. We only stayed one night, but we will come back. More

We just returned from a trip to the Florida Panhandle. We did not make reservations anywhere, and we decided to "wing it". Since we did not want to battle the "spring break" crowds in Panama City Beach, we decided to try Mexico Beach, FL. The first night there, we stayed at a local large motel, but on a walk down...

You will have to realize that Mexico Beach is a beach nearly 20n miles from Panama City and roughly 10 miles from Port St. Joe, with that being said, there are only about 3 hotels on the strip. None are major chains just home owned. So after stopping at the other hotels along the way which may I say were... More
