this resort is not for everyone. if you feel the need to be in the middle of multitudes and crowds this is not for you. if you salivate at the thought of bellying up to mass produced buffets this is not for you. if, however, you are a discerning individual who appreciates the quality of a privately owned and operated... more

As a long time traveler to the old Capt LaFitte, I was apprehensive of what I might find at Petit LaFitte. My worries were a waste of time, I just returned from a weeks stay, and can't say enough about the comfort, cleanliness, and friendliness of this resort. The food was superb, the chef is very creative and every meal... more

This is a smaller hotel on a slightly more secluded beach. because of the size you will be able to get to know the staff on a more personal basis and the food here in the all inclusive stay is truly phenomenal- it was among the best I have had. The rooms themselves were fair- nothing above average- but they... more

My fears were assauged as soon as I arrived and were greeted by all the old friends that moved over to work at Petit. It didn't... more

A pleasure! Wonderful staff. Genuine hospitality. Small, intimate hotel, perfect for relaxation. C Arnold Boulder, CO more

I will preface my comments by saying that we are one of hundreds, i'm sure thousands, that had gone to the original resort (in our case 12 years ago) and fell in love with the friendly employees and wonderful service and most especially the bungalows only a few feet from the ocean. The "new" location still has some of that,... more

The hotel is not a bad little place, by Mexican Riviera standards, I would still not recommend this hotel. For the price (about $2,500 for six days for two adults and a teenager -- two meals per day included), I think you can do much better. For comparison, we stayed at Shangrila Caribe just south of Playa for about the... more

I've been going down to Lafitte for 20 years-it's still the same! Wonderful, warm staff, consistent, perfect location. The vibe remains the same. more
