Petite Anse Hotel

The private beach, the food, the staff. All around a great place to stay. The hotel booked all our tours and rides we needed and everything gets charged straight to your room so you pay for everything at the end of your stay. The views from the beachfront room were absolutely amazing!

The beds were a little hard but still manageable. A little mini store to purchase snacks, water, sunscreen etc. would be nice for afterhours. Once the restaurant and bar close for the night the whole facility is closed, even the front desk. We were out late from turtle watching and missed dinner. We wanted to come back to grab a snack and drinks but everything was closed. Even the town was closed by 10 pm.

While Petite Anse is a distance from many of the area attractions, that is precisely what we loved. Quiet, private, beautiful location. When we wanted to get out and about, the drivers they arranged for us were excellent. When we wanted to fully relax, we had a beach, a pool and our porch looking out at the sea. The staff was welcoming and attentive with the one exception noted below.

Our only negative was on a few occasions we felt that the wait staff at the restaurant didn’t seem to see us, even though they were not very busy. We certainly weren’t in any hurry, but we sat for a long time before we could get anyone’s attention to just get a menu. If we were supposed to do something different when we arrived no one shared that with us. This was an evening issue, not breakfast. ( The food was excellent and the views from the restaurant were stunning.)

The views from our room were amazing, we stayed in the Nutmeg Room and the balcony was the biggest and most beautiful I ever had with a room. Ocean a little wild but fun if you are use to oceans, warm water and gorgeous. Breakfast was lovely - full English if you like, also fresh bread, cake, granola, cereals, etc. Service is ok, better than evening. Pool is pretty, with nice lounge chairs with cushions and umbrellas.

It needs updating. I am all for eco, but in the room the bathroom really needed some TLC, the beach was so natural there was some garbage and a large palm leaf fell right near my head- but they provide the only shade. For the whole complex only 5 beach lounger chairs, one broken, all filthy. The dinner was a choice of 3 items, crazy expensive and all very sweet. Drinks at the bar were pricey and with the cheapest local rum available, hard to drink. there are lovely rums on the island...

Amazing view, nice rooms, good pool & lovely scenery. Friendly staff.

Tranquility totally spoilt by noisy children visiting. Although beautiful spot meant for peaceful relaxation, not a lot to do locally. Disappointed not to swim in sea as advised not to. Owner seemed stressed and unfriendly as opposed to the staff who were very helpful and friendly. Light bulbs that were not working not replaced in dining area and old deflated balloons left from February 7th Independence Day celebrations, a month ago. Threadbare table cover on breakfast table and whole area feels a bit run down with little coherence or updating of decor. Difficult to find due to lack of road signs. Sauternes (local town) uninspiring and aggressive.

This is a unique and beautiful location. A true Caribbean experience. Not for those seeking to dance through the night, party on the beach or show themselves off. It is a quiet escape from all that. The food is fabulous, full of locally grown fresh produce, with inventive menus; the staff, everyone of them, are helpful, kind and thoughtful; the room we had, on the beach, was basic but had everything we needed, plenty of space, a very comfortable bed and a gorgeous view. The terrace furniture was comfortable and the people who cleaned each day couldn’t have been more efficient. The owner is clearly a very attentive and clever owner, recruiting a great staff and keeping them happy.

Nothing.

Our stay at Petite Anse was wonderful. Our room was spacious, clean, had a nice view of the ocean and you could hear the waves. The breeze keeps the mosquitos away and the temperature comfortable. The breakfast was good and we had two dinners there that were also good. The staff is friendly and the grounds are well kept. There is plenty of parking and the location is good to visit places in the north i.e. Bathway Beach, the Belmont Estate, the Antoine Rum distillery and the Welcome Stone.

The only thing that could have been better would have been to have more information provided about the available excursions and to have walking maps availalbe at the front desk.

The beach was easily accessible & not crowded. Stunning sea views, though sea rather rough so swimming limited. Few sunbeds & only 4 with mattresses, tho during our stay only one or two people used the beach. Nice swimming pool - kept clean & sufficient sunbeds & shade. Staff helpful, particulay Dona in reception. Rooms had lovely views and were unpretentious. Some nice touches, e.g. jug of milk in fridge on arrival. Reception would arrange local trips & Armaillo restaurant around the corner served outstanding food.

Breakfast was rather disappointing. Choice of fresh fruit very limited, though cooked breakfast was OK.Dinner had 3 choices of mains, though accompanying vegetables were al dente in the extreme.

Amazing property in a stunning location. I would highly recommend.

It needs a few small things updating but there is nothing to dislike
