We took our 4 month old on his first real vacation and Petit Lafitte was the perfect spot for this. While there is not shortage of options in Playa del Carmen, this was the right place for us. The whole time we were there, I kept thanking my husband for finding Petit and sparing us from a busy all inclusive.... More

Petit Lafitte is the perfect destination for an amazing vacation for both your mind and body (to be more exact, your stomach, because the food was incredible!)! First and foremost, the staff is what makes the experience an unforgettable one. We were met with a warm smile and a tour of the premises and the theme of a genuine concern... More

This hotel (although I would love to keep it a secret so we will always be able to get a room) is without a doubt our favorite hotel of any place we have traveled to (and we travel quite alot). The hotel is simple, nothing fancy, but it has everything you could possibly need and is super clean. But the... More

Petit Lafitte is perfection - small, intimate and totally unfussy, warm and friendly to its international and intergenerational group of guests, and with a lovely and uncrowded beach, grounds, delicious food, a loving staff and more than enough creature comforts to make us happy to do little more than rest and renew over the arc of each day. Playa del... More

I just got back from my trip yesterday, and Petit Lafitte was everything I expected and more. Like others have said, you have to know what you're expecting here. My friend and I stayed in a standard garden view room, which was perfectly located between the beach and the open air dining area where breakfast and dinner is served everyday.... More

We looked forward to our first trip to Mexico and to this hotel based on the reviews. Whilst conscious it was 3 star, the reviews gave the impression that the food, staff, surroundings exceeded the 3 star rating. We were disappointed. When we were there there was a dispute with the immediate private residential neighbor. Loud music played with outside... More

This place is a hidden gem! It is worth the upgrade to the private bungalows which boast a rustic setting ensuring your relaxation. The staff & services offered by the staff were superb. They even helped us plan an all day excursion & found us on the beach.They made every effort to make your time there enjoyable. The food was... More

I have been visiting Petit Lafitte and its predecessor for over twenty years, and it's better this year than ever! The staff, many of whom have been there for many years and remember returning guests, go out of their way to make your experience personal and perfect. The seaside bungalows are wonderful--right on the beach, with your own porch and... More

This hotel is what a beach resort should be. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and the small scale of the hotel allows the guests to relax, get to know each other (if they want to), and not worry about things like whether there will be room for them on the beach in the shade under a palapa, or...
