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

Petit Lafitte is a terrific alternative to the large, sprawling all inclusive resorts that line this coast.  In fact, this little gem is neighbors to such big name, luxury resorts as the Viceroy, Grand Sunset Princess and Grand Velas Resorts.  That means you spend less to get the same beachfront value and the beachfront outside Petit Lafitte is way better...

My husband and I spent 9 days at this beautiful resort, along with 4 other friends who stayed for 7 days. It is a simply wonderful resort with the most helpful, funny, friendly and fabulous staff you could ever wish for.

The Mexican Riviera has lovely beaches, fun nightspots, and lots of adventure. Petit Lafitte offers a respite from the hustle and bustle. Beautiful, right on the beach, good food, and best of all, friendly and helpful staff. Petit Lafitte is a smaller, boutique hotel that has many repeat visitors, and though this was our first time there, we are very... More
