I had a good stay, but this place is a bit off the beaten path with not a lot near it. If you plan on exploring a lot, I would book somewhere else. Everything else was great though.

I loved my stay at Petit Lafitte ! It was everything I was looking for - everyone on the staff was kind and welcoming and made my stay incredible. I will definitely be back to stay in the bungalows and enjoy more tasty food and drinks. Thank you again, Petit Lafitte & staff for everything!

I come here for long solo vacation weekends. Great property. Amazing staff and the food is perfect. If you like to swim the water in front of the property is very rocky and not suitable for swimming but you can walk the shore and find better areas. I just need the occasional foot dip and for it to be pretty to look at, so perfect for me.

8/10 Very good

Very nice hotel. Not cheap but that helps keep a good crowd. No visitors were rude or hollering, unlike other AI resorts. Beach was nice. Easy to find sunbathing chairs. Beachfront restaurant was fantastic. Food was great. Access to the hotel from the road is not great - road is bumpy and through a back alley. Staff was great. Polite, personable, friendly. Taco night and barbecue nights were fantastic. Need more dinner nights on the beach patio!!!

The beach is rocky and there is not so easy access to the city. The dinner at the hotel felt overpriced for what we got. The pool and the bar were good. The bartender was very knowledgeable.
