My husband and I spent 3 relaxing days at Petit Lafitt and would not hesitate recommending this charming small hotel to our friends and family. The white sand beach was pristine, the bungalow was spacious and comfortable, the food was delicious, and the service was friendly. If you are looking for glamour (or even a TV), you won’t find it...

I haven't actually stayed at PL as yet but I live across the highway in the jungle so I take lots of my visitors there for eats/drinks and a day at the beach. The reason I'm writing this review is because my neice from Calgary fell in love with the place and has decided to have her wedding reception there.... More

We just returned from a short five day trip to Petit and had a wonderful time. We stayed in the garden bungalow and must agree, the bungalows are worth the upgrade. The ocean front bar was friendly, reasonable, and fun. The guests all visited with each other and it was a great low key place to enjoy a cocktail or... More

A family-run hotel set on a stretch of beach away from the noise and the T-shirt vendors of downtown Playa del Carmen, Petit Lafitte is as quiet as a Buddhist retreat and as relaxing as a pina colada. Make that *two* pina coladas. I had researched several dozen area hotels and resorts for a month, narrowing them down one by... More

One of the joys of being married to a travel shop manager is you get to benefit from all of the years of experience and feedback they have first hand. Recently (Jan 2012) this was highlighted when we stayed at Petit Lafitte. In a word it was Fantastic. The charm of the bungalows is only exceeded by the determination of... More

The staff, the food,the accommodations and the beach setting were great. I look forward to returning to this special place. Our compliments to David Herrera,the hotel concierge and all... More

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
