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…
There taco night…

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!

Wonderful boutique hotel. Perfect for people that want chilled out calm. Space to relax. Wonderful staff, we loved our room - a beachfront bungalow. Half board, 4 courses for dinner and a wide breakfast choice. All delicious.

La Petite Lafitte hit all of the right buttons for my wife and me. It was quiet when we waned it to be and appropriately festive with a great day bay and music at dinner. The staff are what make a place special, and from the greeters to the wait staff and maintenance crew, they were all top notch friendly and always looking to make our stay perfect. We will return and share with others our perfect retreat.

This hotel is a good value. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food was ok (breakfast and dinner). Small salad bar every evening before dinner. Two choices of entree. Most food was good. Pool was fine, just nothing fancy. Limited things to do in the area, so if you need nightlife and restaurants, it costs about $28-$30 each way for taxi to go to PDC. We had a relaxing time, for the money. Downside: expectation of tip every meal. Some areas of the grounds were in disrepair but they were working on it. Not sure about safety after dark so we didn’t venture far at night. Not a luxury resort but more of a low-key, granola type place, as we expected from other reviews.
