We were at LaPlage week of 4/22 and I was talking to one of the store owners that told me that Sonesta's new AI policy is one reason why there is less foot traffic. He also told me that their room rate has dropped which tends to bring cliental that are looking for a less expensive vacation. Because of that they aren't looking to spend any money on food, drinks or souvenirs. But the shops aren't doing much to bring them in either. My wife usually buys a few bottles of perfume at Dufree (?) and they wouldn't give the usual discount if paying cash.
