    None of the food we ate were tasty so it could be a problem for those who don't want to leave the hotel and go to the town

    Location and atmosphere/vibe of the hotel is amazing, nice little gem in the sea of huge resorts.

    Beach hotel of good quality, but not excellent.

    All hotels in this area are far away from everything, even the main road. So you need a rental or pay taxi fees which are not cheap. They will not allow you to check out even 1 hour past the official time - immediately they request a fee.

    Beach location with some privacy feeling in-between huge hotels. Good food, although dinner has a limited choice of just 2 mains.

    Nothing.

    The hotel is just a few steps from the beach. The rooms were nicely decorated with a local touch and offered a lot of space to hang clothes / beach wear. The food was excellent and always freshly prepared. Drinks were also made on the spot with fresh ingredients. Housekeeping was spotless.

    This place is truest amazing, what at absolute gem! We shall certainly be back! Tucked away in the jungle with monkeys and wildlife surrounding this little piece of paradise. Fantastic rooms, food and drink you won’t be disappointed! What a wonderful change to the awful all inclusive’s. The yoga was amazing, the entertainment at night was tastefully curated. I have left feeling healthier with the wonderful array of fruit and vegetables. Thank you Petit Lafitte we have had the most wonderful stay.

    The one thing that stood out to me the most was one staff member in particular. I’m not sure why he was very unpleasant to us and even raised his voice a bit my last morning when I approached the main food area by the lobby to ask for a cup of coffee to watch the sunrise. He was pleasant to other guests. The previous days, I noticed that he puts efforts to not interact with me and friend in the dinning area. He just ignored us by turning around, not making eye contact and ignoring us even when we kinda waved at him as he served and chatted with a table next to us.

    The property is very quaint and cozy. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. I love that it’s directly on the beach. I enjoyed the food and most of the staff was friendly and attentive. The food was good Every Day.

    very relaxing stay at the hotel, from the monring to the night. the breakfast was good, the private beach and the pool available, the bar to stay hydraded all day. the yoga in the morning and the diner with local music were a plus.

    Location is quite far away from the center of Playa del Carmen so if you are planning to have lunch downtown or go out in the evening, you will need to drive 15km (with a lot of traffic). Rooms are average and would definitely need some refreshment. Wifi in the room was very poor.

    All in all it's a nice 3 star hotel with good (but quite cold) pool and cosy beach. We had both breakfast and dinner included and food was tasty and good quality. Massage on the beach was super relaxing.
