Just returned from a short trip to Petit Lafitte. Let me first say that if you are looking for the big resort atmosphere with lots of people, amenities and activities, this is not the place for you. But if you want a relaxing vacation with a beautiful beach and a highly attentive and personal staff. This is the place to... more

My husband and I spent our honeymoon in May of 2005 at La Posada del Capitan Lafitte, up the road. I had been going there with girlfriends before that for a couple of years. We were disappointed that they were closing it down, but were elated when we heard that this same group of wonderful owners and staff were opening... more

I would highly recommend this hotel for families looking for a small, intimate getaway with convenient access to the beach. The food was incredible ! Our package provided for both breakfast and dinner, both of which were 5 star quality. The dinners were three course meals complete with salad, soup, and choice of entrees. No bland buffets! The service was... more

This small delightful boutique hotel is a little slice of heaven. My Significant Other and I spent a glorious week at Petit Lafitte over New Year's 2009. I have been meaning to write this review for six months! We loved everything about it - its charm, its peaceful setting, friendly staff and wonderful meals. And the bartenders make great drinks!... more

We stayed at Petit Lafitte during the first week of April, booking the ocean view bungalow #4. We had no trouble finding the resort as there are signs to direct you. The road was pretty good. It is nice that the resort is so far off the highway as there was no highway noise which is common at some resorts.... more
