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.

We had a truly perfect stay! We booked a beachfront room, and waking up to the sound of the ocean each morning was absolutely magical. The service throughout our stay was exceptional—every staff member was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The food was outstanding, with a great variety of delicious options. Both the check-in and check-out processes were smooth and efficient, making everything completely stress-free. Choosing this hotel for our anniversary getaway was the best decision we could have made. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we are already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a special and unforgettable experience! Thank you!

Food isn’t the greatest. Unfortunately, can’t dine at other close restaurants unless you’re staying at the hotel. The cabanas need some TLC, floors aren’t clean and bathrooms can use some remodeling. Staff is attentive. When signing your receipts (after dining) make sure that if you are paying cash, DO NOT sign the receipt. While checking out of hotel, they were telling us we had a balance due for drinks. I specified that we paid drinks in cash. And was told we signed the receipt, well yes we did because we were told to do so!! So, don’t fall for it.

I wanted to relax and not hear the noise from 5th Ave. it was the right choice of hotel. The beach is not for swimming so you have to move a bit but not a big deal. Overall great stay !

Old they make or seem nicer online the staff replies for any concerns with a delay so if you need something you have to go to the reception to ask for it and to get out of the property then taxis are very expensive they do not offer any transportation to downtown

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.
