Ti Kaye Resort
 
Has anyone been to this resort or know where I could find some reviews on it? I guess it's pretty new so I haven't been able to find much info on it. It looks really pretty and secluded, but you never know. Thanks for the help!

All I can offer is this: Last week I was on a catamaran tour of St. Lucia and they pointed it out. It is perched on the cliffs overlooking the sea and yes, it looked pretty and secluded. Can't remember if there was a beach though. Did you try wheretostay.com?

I too saw it while on the catameran trip last week. It is individual cottages with a beautiful view.. If i remember correctly a couple weeks ago Someone posted a couple times about his recent stay at Ti Kaye

We've found a wonderful travel agency specializing in St. Lucia. Their website is very informative. We just booked a trip through Yvonne, whose patience was never-ending. Find them at stluciatravel.com. I think Ti Kaye looks very nice, but we decided on Ladera.

I am going there sept. 4 I booked through stluciatravel. I hope it is very tropical. There is a beach but you have to travel down some steps. When I first booked I thought we were right on the beach because I booked a ocean front cottage, but then my travel agent sent me some pictures and it is a resort up on the cliffs. The rooms look beautiful and I hear the outside gardern showers are to write home about. They have a free shuttle that takes you to marigot bay everyday. I'll let you my review when I return.

I am going there on Sept. 9 and am really looking forward to the trip. From what I hear, the accomodations & food are good. However, a couple that recently honeymooned there felt a bit to secluded (I think they were looking to relive spring break but his mom got confused when she booked the trip). Personally, I can't wait to get away from the hectic pace of my life and just slow down. <BR> <BR>I'll post a review (of sorts) after we get back!!

We are going to Sr. Lucia in November, so are very anxious to read your report and find out more about Ti Kaye. I recently downloaded a Ti Kaye screensaver from Scubamom's website.

Hi! We went to Ti Kaye Village for our honeymoon. I have nothing but GREAT things to say about it. The staff were really friendly (and totally down to earth!). The food was, in a word, YUM! Flying fish fillets were excellent and the Acras (appetizer w/ a spicy tomato lime sauce) were fantastic!!!<BR><BR>Jeannine is great; she knows everthing there is to know about St. Lucia and will not steer you wrong. Nick was also lots of fun - he has some great stories to tell!<BR><BR>We spent one week at Ti Kaye and did the "Adventurous Honeymoon" package. It came with a land and sea tour (jungle, botanical gardens, volcano, cruise up the coast), sunset cruise (it rained!), "Rythym of Rum" tour (a little hokey, but it was fun), took a water taxi to Castries for shopping (be prepared to barter), and we also had massages in our cottage (SO RELAXING!). We were able to get a free upgrade to a cottage with a plunge pool (the water was nice & cool!) but I understand they hope to add plunge pools to each cottage eventually. The sand on the beach was H-O-T, but the water was great. They have kayaks & snorkeling gear that you can use (free of charge) so we got to do a little of that too. Oh, and the open-air "Garden Shower" (complete with plants!) was fantastic - take a shower at night and leave the lights off - its an experience!<BR><BR>Anse Cochon (the cove the resort overlooks) is a hot spot for all the catamaran cruises so the beach isn't exactly secluded, but if you time it right, you'll have privacy. Locals hang out at the beach during the day to sell their wares - they pretty much leave you alone and they gave us some advice when we were snorkeling (so we wouldn't touch anything that might bite!)<BR><BR>The resort is fairly secluded - the drive down is a bit frightening if you aren't used to windy roads - but we made it there intact. We stayed at the resort just about the entire week - something we really wanted to do anyway, so it wasn't an issue. We did however get down to Marigot Bay for dinner on Wednesday and we went to the Friday Night Fish Night in Anse la Raye (fishing village nearest to Ti Kaye) - it was fantastic (Piton Beer was $3 EC ($1 US) and we ate a lot of fish (very fresh and not expensive).<BR><BR>I think our trip to St. Lucia was just about the best trip we've ever been on, even though we were there on 9/11. The resort didn't have a television at the time, but we got a lot of news from locals, the radio and the web. It was scary to be away from home at the time, but everyone in St. Lucia was so nice and that helped a lot.<BR><BR>We defnitely plan to go back to St. Lucia for an anniversary trip sometime, and you can bet that when we do, we will be going to Ti Kaye!<BR><BR>Enjoy!!!!
