Nice quiet hotel good for family and small children. Good and safe place to stay. Excessive tipping culture after every meal and service which can account for a hefty sum. Rigged monopoly overpriced taxi system associated with the hotel. Outdated meals and not the best drinks I’ve had in Mexico.

Family trip and a friends bday. Front desk staff all very friendly and accommodating. Service for breakfast & dinner fantastic, flexible to meet your dietary requirements. Food was very good. Martin is an exceptional server! They even surprised my friend for her bday with a cake and came to sing. Love the rustic and zen vibes- like tulum. Only improvement, rooms could use some upgrading. Will definitely recommend to friends/family.

A beautiful property on the beach. If you want to relax and enjoy the sun, this is the place for you. It's quiet and serene. I loved that they turned off the music on the beach at request so that we can enjoy the quiet. I love their gorgeous yoga studio and daily classes. Massage on the beach was amazing. I really liked the general decor and vibe of the place. Really chic and natural. I'd totally come back.

Staff and food were ok. Problem was that the property has no beach access and the beach next door was very dirty with algies and bad smell Did not receive any VIP benefits and it seemed they property was not even aware of the possibility of VIP benefits at all.

One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed in! My family had the best time here. The personnel made this whole stay complete! They are sweet, attentive and always ensuring you make it back to your hotel if you decide to take day trips! We will for sure be returning again!

Our family of 5 had the best experience at the hotel. The staff went above and beyond making sure we had everything we needed. The daily yoga was amazing. The bungalow , restaurant , and pool area was well maintained. The food was great and the whole family enjoyed themselves. It was our first visit to the area and we always felt safe on the property. The only downside was the area was isolated, where as we had to get a taxi to get to shopping or any off property location. Not a big deal though and it didn’t not ruin our stay at all.

Petit Lafitte was exactly what we were looking for - a peaceful getaway in a place that wasn’t too loud or big and had amazing views and a unique bungalow experience. The food and drinks were also great and we enjoyed the live music as well. Our favorite part was the amazing staff! Everyone was very welcoming and friendly and we especially want to thank David and Manuel.

This boutique hotel was such a wonderful find. The food is AMAZING, especially for a half board. I mean, I had one of the best paellas of my life, FILLED with seafood... couldn't believe this was part of the package. The drinks were also fantastic, their piña coladas were so delicious. Not too sweet, with a hint of freshly shaved cinnamon and dried pineapple as a garnish... 1000/10. Their yoga studio is very cute, and I really appreciated the front desk letting me and my sister use it in the afternoon for pilates on our own accord. My only two let downs were the condition of out room & some of the staff. We stayed in a room in the main building (not a bungalow), and the air filter in our bathroom was covered in mold. The daily cleaning was kind of done heartedly, even if we left tips. Staff was hit or miss - some were extremely friendly, others seemed like they wanted to be anywhere but here. I will most likely be back - next time in a bungalow!

Great by place to come and stay. Right on the beach. The only downside to this place is the availability to parking is very low. Quiet place and about 20 min from downtown Playa.

Cozy house with traditional style, mixed with nature! One thing is that the beach/ocean is not as good as Cancun. To be more exact, way far behind. But one of the right places to extend to Tulum and Coba ruins as well as nearby amazing cenotes.

This is a wonderful, low-key boutique option for those looking to avoid the mega resorts. It is quiet and very peaceful. You really feel like you are tucked away in the jungle. The half board covers breakfast and dinner. The breakfast is buffet-style, and you can supplement the buffet offerings by ordering anything off the breakfast menu you'd like. They offer two entree choices for dinner. One evening they had taco night, which was set up like a street taco stand with many offerings in terms of meat and toppings. There was live entertainment every night. Drink prices are very reasonable. My wife and I charged the majority of our drinks during our five day stay to our room and in the end our drink bill was only $114 US. The beach is walkable for a long distance in either direction. If you go to the left you will encounter several larger resorts and restaurants. We rented a cabana with an ocean view, which I highly recommend. It was like being in a log cabin in the jungle. Getting to the hotel by rental car was a bit tricky without GPS (as our phones didn't work in Mexico except when connected to the internet.) We had to stop and ask for directions which was no big deal. The resort is several turns off the main road coming down from Cancun. They also offer Yoga and other wellness experiences. The staff is friendly and offer personal service that is not intrusive.

Can’t put into words how great this resort is, we stayed here for four nights. We traveled as a family and we felt so safe, far from home. We did run into a small issue but was solved right away by management! Not sure why this place isn’t a 5 star resort. Breakfast and dinner are a plus! Room: We stayed in a cabin was very clean and well put together. The air conditioner works great, I wish the room had a bigger restroom it was very hard to change. This room didn’t have an TV, but the other rooms that are not cabins do. There were insects like ants and mosquitoes inside the room everytime you would open the door but nothing to bad. Other than that it was great we felt like we were out in the jungle and had our own space. Great for families! Staff: Incredible staff, they go out their way just to make sure you are taken care of. Most of the staff were very friendly, there are some that are not. However the best member of the staff was Martin. He was always making sure we were taken care of. He was always making sure we had a bite. After a long trip, we got to the resort late, we weren’t sure if we were able to go get served because we got there late. He made sure we had something in our stomachs. Overall a great experience, especially because u are so close to the beach. Only 20 minutes away from Playa del Carmen city section. Would totally visit again!

Oh my gosh we loved this place!! Small, pretty, right on the beach, delicious food and friendly staff. Very nice layout, with the sea breeze reaching down to everyone. Breakfast AND dinner were included, which we didn't even realize. A long stretch of beach to walk in both directions with some good sandy swim areas very near by. What the "old Playa" used to be like, some said. We would definitely stay at this wonderful little spot again!!!!
