Playa del Secreto hotel guide. Catalonia hotel in Playa del Secreto, Playa del Carmen

Petit Lafitt was perfect for what we wanted. We had toured Mexico City, Merida, Tulum and finally Playa Del Carmen. We were aware this area would be very different to all those I'd mentioned before so opted for somewhere that would be more homely than the larger resorts. It did not disappoint, food was freshly cooked every night rather than a buffet. You had two options and the menus changed daily for both breakfast and dinner. The beach front bar served a lovely lunch if you decided to have an...

Staff were friendly rooms cleaned daily great hotel

The staff and the hotel are excellent.

We had a brilliant time at Ventus Ha Marina. It's nice and spacious, with three hotels in the complex and access to all of them and their facilities, so there's plenty to explore. We were given a free upgrade to a big room with a bathtub, spotlessly clean with loads of bits provided. We don't have kids ourselves but you could easily see why it's a good spot for families. The adult-only infinity pool was a real highlight, especially at sunset. Lovely chilled atmosphere throughout, we felt safe,...

We had a great time at Jungala, the resort was stunning, the room was spacious, stylish and well appointed. the staff were excellent and welcoming, special mention to Vanessa in the kids club, my daughter loved her, and Raffael who did training every morning on the beach. The amenity/ entertainment was great especially Jungala water park and Joya show. Onto the downsides - I thought whilst the dining environments were beautiful the food did not match this and was expensive, and when certain...

Beautiful hotel my only two criticisms are when you go to the pool you are not told you have to book the beds it’s an idiotic system I have expected to see Germans running down at day break with towels but staff do it My other bug was constant tipping of people I always tip end of stay if it was good service but to be asked for a tip was just not right Management very good in listening to my complaints Overall great hotel but to be honest it’s a long way from town if you don’t have a car your...

We stayed here March 2016 - what a lovely hotel. Small beach with loungers for hotel guests great snorkelling from the beach. Husband went diving from the dive shop next door and had the best dive he has ever had! He saw turtles, lobsters the size of small dogs, sting ray and an abundance of fish and coral. Lovely food in the restaurant too from their 'new' menu. We wished we had stayed longer.

The view from the room!

We booked a platinum room. We had a beautiful room with a sea view. The restaurant options are great, only one we avoided was the Tepanyaki as it’s not our taste. Could not recommend this resort more on the whole, this was our 2nd time and it did not disappoint. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Personally I think going platinum is worth the additional cost, it means no stress booking à la carte and your minibar is always topped up and the butlers are super helpful. Thanks to Alma, Fredy &...

Amazing stay in Playa del Carmen, checkin was fabulous with Luis (all staff were friendly and helpful), room was spacious, modern, spotlessly clean - hotel is quite new and very tastefully decorated. Lovely rooftop pool and well equipped gym on the ground floor. No restaurant service after breakfast but we knew that and there’s a lot of food choice around. Situated just off 5th Avenue, seconds walk to shops and restaurants at the quieter end of town. We would recommend a massage at Veronica’s...

i thought it was not too far from the Airport to the Hotel . The hotel kept in contact with me . as i required shuttle service to get to the Hotel. Breakfast was great , staff where great.

Couldn’t have been more perfect. The hotel, the room, the pools, the amazing service. Has set the benchmark for other hotels incredibly high

Amazing views, very convenient, spacious and comfortable. Super helpful staff

The staff here are amazing, all so friendly and made my birthday special by decorating my room and bringing me a cake. Thanks to Flor on reception, but all the staff deserve praise especially housekeeping. The room is great. The breakfast is great. The location is great, 2 mins from 5th Ave and 7/8 mins from the beach. I can't fault it! Though it is worth noting there is no bar. You are so close to several it doesn't affect anything.
