"Occupying a quiet beach far removed from the Playa del Carmen party scene, Petit Lafitte is an excellent family vacation spot." Full review
Star Service Star Service
"Here, guests find good food, attentive and friendly service, and the kind of laid-back, understated comfort that is luring guests farther south to Tulum and the places such as the quirky Azulik Villas." Full review

Six of the eight restaurants are open 24 hours, and reservations are never required—even at the popular French-inspired Bordeaux (request a cellar table); if you'd rather dine in, room service is unobtrusively delivered through Secrets' signature magic box.
