Drift is an absolute paradise! The resort offers breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere, making it the perfect escape. The rooms are luxurious and comfortable, and the service is impeccable from start to finish. Dining is delightful, with a vast array of fresh and delicious options. However, the fruit selection at breakfast could be improved. Overall, it's a stunning location for relaxation and adventure.

I had a wonderful experience on this small island with breathtaking views and the opportunity to snorkel with sharks and turtles. The water bungalow was beautiful and clean, but the dining experience was a bit of a mixed bag. While the food was varied and tasty, there were some restrictions that felt frustrating. Overall, it was a memorable stay despite a few hiccups.

While the menu was varied and the chef's skills were impressive, the restrictions placed on all-inclusive dining were a letdown. Not serving fresh seafood on a seafood-rich island was disappointing.

My stay at Drift Thelu was nothing short of magical. The island's beauty and tranquility made it the perfect escape for a romantic getaway. The rooms were beautiful and cozy, especially the water villa with stunning sunset views. While the dining options were delightful, I would have loved a bit more variety. Overall, it's a haven for anyone looking to unwind, but there were some small service inconsistencies that could be improved.

Staying at this resort was a dream come true! It is honestly a paradise, offering a peaceful atmosphere with stunning views and friendly staff who cater to every need. The rooms were comfortable and well-equipped, but occasionally the Wi-Fi connection was unreliable. The food was delicious, with an amazing variety at every meal, though it would have been nice to have even more diverse breakfast options.
