This is a wonderfully rustic different hotel. We are not really the fully inclusive resort type of couple, and we have done the Mexico resorts a couple of times, and realized that we needed something different, more peaceful and more personal, and the Petit Lafitte defiantly gave us this. This is the type of place where you go for full... More

At first, I didn't get "it," this fascination with Petit Lafitte. My husband and I like to stay in out of the way places where the locals live and work. We're used to renting a car and travelling at our own pace, something we didn't do in Mexico because we were advised against it. After landing in Cancun and thinking... More

It's true, the staff really do their best to keep you satisfied. The place is so small and you end up seeing the same staff people every day so it's easy to get small issues resolved or plans revised. The beach is wonderful and, yes, the quiet atmosphere (with all the crowds elsewhere at the big resorts) can't be matched.... More

Clean total attention to detail clean. Staff and management can't do enough for you location is great rooms are adequate in size and always clean. It's like a family when you go there have been several times over the past 12 years and never have been disappointed.Kudos to all the staff they are the best.

I picked this hotel based on the overwhelming positive reviews and their great prices. The positives at this resort far outweigh any small negatives. We stayed the 3rd week of April and enjoyed every day. The food was very good, and the service surpassed our expectations. The beach and the view from our oceanfront room was to die for. (... More

We chose Petit Lafitte for our Spring break with our 2 daughters after reading all the positive TripAdvisor reviews. The combination of a great location and warm, welcoming staff were second to none. We stayed in a hotel room the entire week because we lined up a few excursions and were gone during most of the days. Next time, I... More

This was such a beautiful hotel on an amazing stretch of beach. The staff was very accommodating to my sisters gluten allergy, super friendly, always knew your name and made sure your stay was exceptional. Best price point for a quiet beach stay, fun for families too!!

We recently had our wedding and honeymoon here, and I cannot say enough about how phenomenal this place is. I actually cried our last night there because this place has turned into my 2nd home/family. First of all, if you are looking to do a destination wedding, this is THE PLACE. Our ceremony and reception were right on the beach,... More

This place was incredible. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, and the hotel was beautiful. The beach was never crowded (when we took walks up the beach and walked by other hotels, we noticed that the beaches there were very crowded). The staff goes out of their way to make sure you enjoy your time at Petit. I felt... More

We went to Petit Lafitte over Spring Break a week ago. We arrived via our rental car and were shown our Bungalow on the beach. We were traveling with our two children ages 10 and 13. The bungalow was perfect for us! It had two double beds in the room, with another double bed up a ladder in the little... More
