10/10 Exceptional

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

An amazing property. Our second time here. Family owned and run. Food is authentic…home cooking essentially. We had a cabin which was a nice change from the “big resort” scene. Lady in the buffet line said it was her tenth time here…which I totally understand.

Mine and my friend's time at Petit Lafitte was an absolute pleasure. The staff is lovely and attentive, the facilities are beautiful and maintained, and the property is extremely cared for and relaxing. I would definitely return!
Sophia, 4-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

8/10 Very good

I would love to come back!

Loved, loved, loved the beach vibes here—so beautiful and relaxing. All the staff were super attentive and kind. One even made a little shade spot for us. Not many people were swimming in the ocean while we were there. I’d definitely recommend bringing aqua shoes if you’re planning to go in. The 8 a.m. yoga class was a big plus for me—it gave me something peaceful to do while my kid slept in, and the yoga studio was so calm and serene. You’ll need a car to get around, but driving was pretty easy, even for my first time in Mexico. The highway’s in great shape, though the smaller roads can be pretty bumpy, so I’d suggest driving during the day at first just to get used to it. Breakfast was delicious but definitely on the slower side, so be ready to chill and enjoy the relaxed pace. I stayed in one of the buildings, and while the room itself was comfortable, we could hear everything happening at the pool. One night the hotel next door had a disco party that went on till 11 a.m.— Next time, I’d go for a bungalow for a bit more peace and quiet.

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.

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!

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.

Vida, 5-night trip

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.
