We stayed at The Driftwood for the first time May 12-19. We LOVED it! We arrived 3 hours early, but our room was ready so they graciously allowed us to check in early.

We had visited LBTS several years ago, and decided to spend a week there again. Found the DBC as an RCI exchange. Never quite sure what to expect when you look at some of the reviews online.

The Driftwood Beach Club is a small, friendly, well-run place with a wonderful long-time dedicated staff. Coffee & Doughnuts on Monday morning with suggestions on things to do & places to go in the area. Wednesday afternoon is their famous Wine & Cheese party. No sales pitches. Just a relaxing time with a large pool -with diving board- and a... More
