La Petite Lafitte hit all of the right buttons for my wife and me. It was quiet when we waned it to be and appropriately festive with a great day bay and music at dinner. The staff are what make a place special, and from the greeters to the wait staff and maintenance crew, they were all top notch friendly and always looking to make our stay perfect. We will return and share with others our perfect retreat.

I wanted to relax and not hear the noise from 5th Ave. it was the right choice of hotel. The beach is not for swimming so you have to move a bit but not a big deal. Overall great stay !

My stay was short, only 3 nights, but sweet. I stayed in a bungalow and it was delightful, clean, comfortable, safe, with easy access to the beach, pool, restaurant, bar, desk. I highly recommend this hotel.
Robin, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a truly perfect stay! We booked a beachfront room, and waking up to the sound of the ocean each morning was absolutely magical. The service throughout our stay was exceptional—every staff member was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The food was outstanding, with a great variety of delicious options. Both the check-in and check-out processes were smooth and efficient, making everything completely stress-free. Choosing this hotel for our anniversary getaway was the best decision we could have made. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we are already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a special and unforgettable experience! Thank you!

Nathan, 3-night trip

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.
Sabina, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful setting and great yoga classes. Staff are super friendly and can’t do enough to make sure you have a great stay. We were staying when there was a wedding and think it would be good if the hotel could warn you in advance of that. Food is set menu only.
Lucy, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We enjoyed our recent stay at this hotel. The propery itself is just small compared to other resorts but it offers real value for money. The food was good at their restaurant and the facilities, even for a small hotel, are quite cozy and comfortable. We like the tranquility and the charming vibe that comes with this boutique hotel. The location and the area around the hotel, however, is a downside. The area outside the hotel to the main roads is isolated and not well lighted at night. And the road to the property itself from the main road is mostly unpaved which reduces its appeal. Hope they can do something about this.
Editha, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
Darlene, 7-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Old they make or seem nicer online the staff replies for any concerns with a delay so if you need something you have to go to the reception to ask for it and to get out of the property then taxis are very expensive they do not offer any transportation to downtown
Erika Perez Grovas, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I love this little gem of a hotel. It’s a nice alternative if you don’t want to stay in a big resort. This was my second time here. I love the beach bungalows. My only complaint is that the mattress was extremely firm.
