Petit Lafitte Hotel in Q.R., open February–May.
Petit Lafitte Hotel stands apart in Playa del Carmen by offering an intimate, adults-only beachfront experience where weddings feel like exclusive retreats rather than conventional events.
Located directly on the Caribbean coast at Km 296 of the Cancun-Chetumal Highway, this boutique property provides 45 suites with direct beach access and personalized service that scales to your guest count.
The venue's strength lies in its ability to deliver resort-caliber amenities without the impersonal scale of larger chain hotels.
Spent the weekend here for a friend’s wedding. We stayed in a jungle bungalow. It was a bit of a walk, but we got used to it after a day. Stay in the beach bungalows for a more central location. The staff was excellent. Very kind. Always remembered our preferences. The grounds are beautiful. Seating by the pool is limited, but ample chairs at the beach with umbrellas.
