We had a truly perfect stay! We booked a beachfront room, and waking up to the sound of the ocean each morning was absolutely magical. The service throughout our stay was exceptional—every staff member was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The food was outstanding, with a great variety of delicious options. Both the check-in and check-out processes were smooth and efficient, making everything completely stress-free. Choosing this hotel for our anniversary getaway was the best decision we could have made. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we are already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a special and unforgettable experience! Thank you!

We just spent a long weekend at Petit Lafitte and it was incredible! 🌴✨ We didn’t want one of those huge all-inclusive resorts, and this place was exactly what we were hoping for — intimate, peaceful, and full of charm, yet family friendly. Waking up right on the beach and being able to step just a few feet into the water felt like a dream. The beach is a little rocky right in front, but if you walk up or down the shore, you’ll find plenty of spots for a swim. The water is warm and it was such a treat to start the day with the sunrise and wind down with the sunset. The half board option was an unexpected bonus that made things easy, especially since the hotel isn’t right in centro Playa del Carmen. Every meal was delicious, and the setting made it even more special. The staff were wonderful — so kind, welcoming, and incredibly hardworking. They’re there day and night, and it made us appreciate the experience even more, especially since this was a quiet and restorative getaway for us after working so much. Rurik and Edgar kept the fun going at the bar, Anna at reception greeted us so warmly, Mr. Manuel and his restaurant team made meals memorable, and Alexandro at the gate added such a personal touch. Petit Lafitte truly has a magic you don’t find everywhere. We honestly didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to return!

Absolutely loved this quaint resort! Our bungalow was so quiet and the abundance of foliage was so beautiful! The staff are so friendly and accommodating, they really care about your needs. We were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary and surprised us, at our first dinner, with a special Happy Anniversary dessert! When we come back to this area, we will definitely book here again! Thank you Petit Lafitte for a memorable vacation!

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.

So i liked the staff, they are lovely and try to be as helpful as possible, the hotel does the job… and is romantic for couples but there are allot of things that need improvement… 1. Hot water is up and down, sometimes its barely luke walm sometimes a little just over luke warm in rooms… 2. The al-carte meals, pastries are nice and bread but we stayed two weeks and had allot of repeat meals which we wouldn't mind if they were delicious but portions are small, and main meals i am not gonna lie some if the worst i have tasted… their starter salads were nice, then their soups were touch and go often overly salted, most of the soups had doritos in them not a fan otherwise they would be a cream soup… main meals overly salted and could have been cooked with some flavour like garlic and lemon or something but just salty mostly… desserts and pastries were nice and they make their bread on premises… Options for vegans or if you wanted something outside of the meals of the evening, no alternate options… they should have a menu to order… but prices for anything not included pretty hefty… 3. Limited entertainment options, would be nice if hotel had its own team renting out paddle boards water toys and things… 4. The beach itself not good for basic swimming but great for snorkelling its rocky and dangerous as we snorkled we spotted rays, rock fish and eales amongst that star fish, angel fish and many others…so be careful on this rocky beach… but if you like snorkelling its great…

We enjoyed our recent stay at this hotel. The propery itself is just small compared to other resorts but it offers real value for money. The food was good at their restaurant and the facilities, even for a small hotel, are quite cozy and comfortable. We like the tranquility and the charming vibe that comes with this boutique hotel. The location and the area around the hotel, however, is a downside. The area outside the hotel to the main roads is isolated and not well lighted at night. And the road to the property itself from the main road is mostly unpaved which reduces its appeal. Hope they can do something about this.

Food isn’t the greatest. Unfortunately, can’t dine at other close restaurants unless you’re staying at the hotel. The cabanas need some TLC, floors aren’t clean and bathrooms can use some remodeling. Staff is attentive. When signing your receipts (after dining) make sure that if you are paying cash, DO NOT sign the receipt. While checking out of hotel, they were telling us we had a balance due for drinks. I specified that we paid drinks in cash. And was told we signed the receipt, well yes we did because we were told to do so!! So, don’t fall for it.
