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 canā€™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!

Beautiful setting and great yoga classes. Staff are super friendly and canā€™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.

An amazing property. Our second time here. Family owned and run. Food is authenticā€¦home cooking essentially. We had a cabin which was a nice change from the ā€œbig resortā€ scene. Lady in the buffet line said it was her tenth time hereā€¦which I totally understand.

I love this little gem of a hotel. Itā€™s a nice alternative if you donā€™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.

Amazing place! Staff are extremely attentive. Food at the pool bar and restaurant is superb. We lucked into some songs and a pinata and barbecue feast. Super quiet and lots of Mexican touches. Beach area is great- swimming and snorkeling right there. Lora of bars and restaurants just down the beach.
