Small and inviting with absolutely fantastic staff, this hotel with great bungalows on the beach is quiet , friendly, and amazingly uncrowned. You never fight for a beach chair or hammock or dinner table. The staff quickly begins greeting you by name - and you can 'almost' picture this as your own intimate home away from home! If you want... More

I will start of by saying that the only thing keeping it from being a 5 was the actual room itself. Although clean it was a little older, the restroom was pretty small and the bed was very HARD. A/C was very loud had to be turned off inorder to sleep. My girlfriend and I were lucky enough to get... More

We have been going to Lafitte's for over 15 year and it is as friendly and accommodating today as when we first visited. The staff and their families have become like family to us. They constantly go the extra mile to make our stay there special. The rooms are very clean and spacious, the quality of the food and it's... More

I went to Playa del Carmen with two girlfriends to de-compress and celebrate one of our 40th birthdays. None of us had been there before, found this hotel on the internet, and completely lucked out! We did not want to stay at one of the mega-all-inclusive-resorts and had considered other more "modern" looking boutique hotels in town and were so... More

Just returned from another glorious week at Petit Lafitte! I've been a return guest at Petit Lafitte and, previously, Capitan Lafitte, for 22 years. People have asked me why I go back to the same place year after year. I have traveled all over the world and have never found a hotel that is as welcoming and as peaceful as... More

My husband and I stayed at Petit Lafitte in early May. The scenery is outstanding and the rooms are very well kept, but the hospitality impressed us the most. Everyone at Petit Lafitte goes well out of their way to make all guests feel welcome and comfortable. The hospitality is not overdone, intrusive, or just for show; everyone was sincere... More

Hotel Petit Lafitte was the pefect place for our family of 5! Offering a more relaxed enviornment vs. the all inclusive resorts, this hotel had everything we could want and by far the most friendly, helpful staff. We staying in a bungalow, right off the beach, which was clean and had a loft space (good to split up the kids).... More

My wife and I took our kids (6 and 9) to Playa Del Carmen in early May 2102 for a friend's wedding. We stayed at Petite Lafitte and it was great. David and his staff were incredibly accommodating from the moment we arrived. Having arrived late, around 10:30 pm (about 45 minutes after the restaurant closed), they made sure we... More

I have been going to Petit Lafitte for several years now. In fact, I used to go to Capitan Lafitte even before that. The service at this hotel is wonderful, the ocean is great and you won't find a better location to stay in Playa del Carmen. I didn't yet mention the food--absolutely delicious! More
