We enjoyed our recent stay at this hotel. The propery itself is just small compared to other resorts but it offers real value for money. The food was good at their restaurant and the facilities, even for a small hotel, are quite cozy and comfortable. We like the tranquility and the charming vibe that comes with this boutique hotel. The location and the area around the hotel, however, is a downside. The area outside the hotel to the main roads is isolated and not well lighted at night. And the road to the property itself from the main road is mostly unpaved which reduces its appeal. Hope they can do something about this.

I would love to come back!

Loved, loved, loved the beach vibes here—so beautiful and relaxing. All the staff were super attentive and kind. One even made a little shade spot for us. Not many people were swimming in the ocean while we were there. I’d definitely recommend bringing aqua shoes if you’re planning to go in. The 8 a.m. yoga class was a big plus for me—it gave me something peaceful to do while my kid slept in, and the yoga studio was so calm and serene. You’ll need a car to get around, but driving was pretty easy, even for my first time in Mexico. The highway’s in great shape, though the smaller roads can be pretty bumpy, so I’d suggest driving during the day at first just to get used to it. Breakfast was delicious but definitely on the slower side, so be ready to chill and enjoy the relaxed pace. I stayed in one of the buildings, and while the room itself was comfortable, we could hear everything happening at the pool. One night the hotel next door had a disco party that went on till 11 a.m.— Next time, I’d go for a bungalow for a bit more peace and quiet.

If you like to swim in the ocean, this is definitely not the place for you. Ocean axis still rocky.You cannot even stand up because of how many rocks are in the way.

Love our stay in Petit Lafitte, the location, the ambience, the food, you truly relaxing and feeling taken care of in this hotel. If I were to add a small “even better if”, would be a little refresh of the rooms. This is not a big deal though as you’re not spending too much time there - you enjoy the beach, the restaurant and outdoor seatings.

We had an incredible time staying at Petit Lafitte. The bungalows are lovely, quaint and sufficient. Some noise from neighbouring properties. The staff at PL are the best. Friendly and welcoming, always available to help. The beach is stunning but you can’t swim right in front. A short walk down to the nearby pier and swimming is great as well as snorkeling. Lots of umbrellas available for guests which means lounging on the beach for the day was comfortable! The food was pretty good and the drinks were fantastic. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this as a no frills and relaxing resort for anyone visiting the area.

Absolutely loved this quaint resort! Our bungalow was so quiet and the abundance of foliage was so beautiful! The staff are so friendly and accommodating, they really care about your needs. We were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary and surprised us, at our first dinner, with a special Happy Anniversary dessert! When we come back to this area, we will definitely book here again! Thank you Petit Lafitte for a memorable vacation!

An amazing property. Our second time here. Family owned and run. Food is authentic…home cooking essentially. We had a cabin which was a nice change from the “big resort” scene. Lady in the buffet line said it was her tenth time here…which I totally understand.
