Love our stay in Petit Lafitte, the location, the ambience, the food, you truly relaxing and feeling taken care of in this hotel. If I were to add a small “even better if”, would be a little refresh of the rooms. This is not a big deal though as you’re not spending too much time there - you enjoy the beach, the restaurant and outdoor seatings.
Sabina, 3-night trip

I love this little gem of a hotel. It’s a nice alternative if you don’t want to stay in a big resort. This was my second time here. I love the beach bungalows. My only complaint is that the mattress was extremely firm.
Tanja, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing place! Staff are extremely attentive. Food at the pool bar and restaurant is superb. We lucked into some songs and a pinata and barbecue feast. Super quiet and lots of Mexican touches. Beach area is great- swimming and snorkeling right there. Lora of bars and restaurants just down the beach.
Thomas, 1-night trip

Great place to stay!
Nathan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is a hidden gem by the beach. The staff is always attentive to your needs and deserve our praises. The food and drink options were always top quality. Rooms and cabins are clean and well equipped. Cabins are a bit more rustic, but each is independent and provide a sense of being alone in paradise. I would highly recommend this hotel for stays in Playa del Carmen and will return in the future.
Eric, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

Beautiful however jet ski during the days loud and Music was at bar was played until 11pm and loud for beach bungalows near the bar.

One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed in! My family had the best time here. The personnel made this whole stay complete! They are sweet, attentive and always ensuring you make it back to your hotel if you decide to take day trips! We will for sure be returning again!

Amazing stay in a jungle view bungalow. Beautiful, quaint and quiet. Wonderful staff and outstanding food and drinks!
Britt, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our family is obsessed with this place. Three times in a raw we are coming back - the best option for the vacation with little kids, great food, f&b team is just the best. What I would like to improve that reception would be more friendly to the returning customers - we were never treated like we are returning guests - maybe plate with fruits or some nice letter that the hotel is glad we are back. Its been worthy experience with Mexico and the hotel. Thank you for having us!

10/10 Exceptional

Petit Lafitte was exactly what we were looking for - a peaceful getaway in a place that wasn’t too loud or big and had amazing views and a unique bungalow experience. The food and drinks were also great and we enjoyed the live music as well. Our favorite part was the amazing staff! Everyone was very welcoming and friendly and we especially want to thank David and Manuel.

8/10 Very good

Great by place to come and stay. Right on the beach. The only downside to this place is the availability to parking is very low. Quiet place and about 20 min from downtown Playa.

Cute, small, clean property. Friendly and helpful staff. Healthy food (we were particularly happy about the tasty cream soups at dinner). Nice atmosphere. Good vibe.
Jacqueline, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good overall with some systemic flaws
Nice quiet hotel good for family and small children. Good and safe place to stay. Excessive tipping culture after every meal and service which can account for a hefty sum. Rigged monopoly overpriced taxi system associated with the hotel. Outdated meals and not the best drinks I’ve had in Mexico.

10/10 Exceptional

A beautiful property on the beach. If you want to relax and enjoy the sun, this is the place for you. It's quiet and serene. I loved that they turned off the music on the beach at request so that we can enjoy the quiet. I love their gorgeous yoga studio and daily classes. Massage on the beach was amazing. I really liked the general decor and vibe of the place. Really chic and natural. I'd totally come back.
