digitalforge Posted April 8, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Has anyone visited Little French Key recently? How crowded was it when you visited? With a cruise line operating an excursion on Big French Key, just wondered if it was more crowded now. Thanks.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percyfitzgerald Posted April 9, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 9, 2015 We were there mid-March last year, and same time this year. Last year it was so relaxing and peaceful, but this year it was really crowded, with very loud music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imluvncruzn Posted April 14, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Big Key and LFK are not one in the same. Big Key is across from LFK. They have buoys set up to separate the two areas. We were there in January and it was not crowded at all. There are several different beach areas on LFK to choose from. Some more quiet than others with no music at all. Others are set up more of a party style with loud music. Just pick what suits you best! We had a fantastic day there! Highly recommend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalforge Posted April 14, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Thanks for the information. We are planning to go to LFK with a group. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2000 Posted April 15, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Someone on Trip advisor had this to say: Little French Key - we hit there three times in 9 days. I haven't been to Roatan since last August so I was astonished at the development of Big French Key. When I was there last, there was a shed on Big French Key...now there is a full blown beach, kayaks lined up, hammocks all kinds of things. What's the problem with that? Well, they now share that beautiful lagoon with LFK and it's not as serene as it once was. With both islands blaring music it's a bit off putting. Thankfully, LFK had the foresight to see what was happening and developed the other side of the key to feature swim up bars, beaches, more platforms and a restaurant. It's much quieter over on that side when there are more than 2 of cruise ships in. The food is still good, the beer is still cold and their monkey lala's are the best! The service is still wonderful.

Unfortunately that guy's thread has been hijacked by pontificators and do-gooders - it's a shame. That could have been very informative and helpful.

I think the folks here and a contact at LFK have given me the info I needed, fortunately. I submitted my reservation thru LFK's site last evening . . . we're getting excited about meeting Simba and all the other critters there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becko2000 Posted April 16, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 16, 2015 We were just there a month ago and it was very peaceful, no loud music. Lots of nooks to choose from. We loved it, and would go back in a heartbeat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evandbob Posted April 17, 2015 #13 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm planning my 2nd visit to LFK to be on a Sunday again, with no cruise ships in port. Should be very relaxing, and easy to snorkel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted April 25, 2015 #14 Share Posted April 25, 2015 We were just there for the second time in November and absolutely loved our day there (again). Yes, the development of Big French Key is a bummer. Thank goodness the day we were there we was the only ship in port and it was so quiet and peaceful. I do have a review with TONS of pictures listed in my signature line if you are interested. I know they were still expanding when we were there and things have probably changed even more since 4 months ago. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabotpanther Posted April 27, 2015 #15 Share Posted April 27, 2015 We will be going to LFK in Jan 2016 and are excited to take our 12 son on his first snorkel there. If you go snorkeling or swimming where do you keep your cash and belongings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitalforge Posted May 12, 2015 Author #17 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I was told there isnt a snack bar or restaurant on site so if your hungry before lunch ur SOL ? IS THIS TRUE ? Not true. There is food available as part of your package or a la carte. Check out their web site for more information. http://www.littlefrenchkey.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted May 12, 2015 #18 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Not true. There is food available as part of your package or a la carte. Check out their web site for more information. www.littlefrenchkey.com dramaqueen is not asking about lunch. The poster was asking about "snacks" in case they got hungry BEFORE lunch was served. ;) Queen-I honestly can't say that I have seen anyone eating before the lunch, but then again I wasn't really looking to see if they have snacks. :confused: They bring the food over from their restaurant at Frenchy 44's and have a hut that they prepare everything. I do know they aren't sitting there cooking other things at that location before or after the lunch. But they do serve lunch for several hours and it's only a few hours after arriving most of the time. Just eat a good breakfast prior to arriving and you should be fine. The meal really fills you up so you should also be fine until you get back on the ship. When we were there last in November, over by the jaguar home they were building for Simba, the owner said they were putting in an ice cream place as well. So if that's completed, I would say they have those kinda "snacks" there at any time. They also put in another beach and bar location since I was there several months ago...also, not sure what they may be offering there either. You could probably contact them and ask. They're usually pretty good with responding to questions you may have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evandbob Posted May 18, 2015 #20 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) LFK now has a pizzeria open, we found it a week ago Sunday. Knowing we were snorkeling before lunch, and knowing that lunch was grilled shrimp, lobster, chicken and steak with rice and beans, we didn't bother to investigate the pizza. It's located after Simba's new home. Edited May 18, 2015 by evandbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's located after Simba's new home. Good to know. I wish they would give a choice in which meal you would prefer when going now if that's the case (little ones would prefer the pizza of course ;)). Did you see or hear if the ice cream shop was open yet (over by Simba's cage)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, maybe they decided not to do it after all. I know the owner, Kevah, personally told me they were putting one in on the other side of the jaguar cage. Maybe they went with pizza instead. :p Where is the pizza place located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
websiteauthor Posted May 20, 2015 #25 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Here's a picture of the pizza place - it's located along the beach near the Neptune sculpture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
