If you like to swim in the ocean, this is definitely not the place for you. Ocean axis still rocky.You cannot even stand up because of how many rocks are in the way.

Love our stay in Petit Lafitte, the location, the ambience, the food, you truly relaxing and feeling taken care of in this hotel. If I were to add a small “even better if”, would be a little refresh of the rooms. This is not a big deal though as you’re not spending too much time there - you enjoy the beach, the restaurant and outdoor seatings.

We had an incredible time staying at Petit Lafitte. The bungalows are lovely, quaint and sufficient. Some noise from neighbouring properties. The staff at PL are the best. Friendly and welcoming, always available to help. The beach is stunning but you can’t swim right in front. A short walk down to the nearby pier and swimming is great as well as snorkeling. Lots of umbrellas available for guests which means lounging on the beach for the day was comfortable! The food was pretty good and the drinks were fantastic. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this as a no frills and relaxing resort for anyone visiting the area.

Absolutely loved this quaint resort! Our bungalow was so quiet and the abundance of foliage was so beautiful! The staff are so friendly and accommodating, they really care about your needs. We were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary and surprised us, at our first dinner, with a special Happy Anniversary dessert! When we come back to this area, we will definitely book here again! Thank you Petit Lafitte for a memorable vacation!

An amazing property. Our second time here. Family owned and run. Food is authentic…home cooking essentially. We had a cabin which was a nice change from the “big resort” scene. Lady in the buffet line said it was her tenth time here…which I totally understand.

Beach area is great- swimming and snorkeling right there. Lora of bars and restaurants just down the beach.
