Ti Kaye Resort & Spa - Adults Only

2/5

My experience at Ti Kaye was unexpectedly disappointing, especially considering it was our honeymoon. My husband and I splurged for the ocean view room with a plunge pool for one night on Jan 1. Although the room itself and the view was nice, our excitement quickly faded upon discovering a giant dead fly floating in the pool, which was quite off-putting. Contrary to the serene beachside bed pictures portrayed on their website, the reality fell short. Only a few beds resembling the advertised ones were available, and some lacked curtains. The ocean water itself was beautiful and clean, but the beach was not. The 'Ti Kaye' area was disappointingly small, dirty, and plagued by flies. I incurred numerous insect bites during our one-night stay, and the itching persists as I write this review. The dive center added to the unattractive scenery, with kayaks and gear cluttering the space behind the beds. Huge eyesore. I had read online that Anse Cochon beach was secluded and quiet, fitting the peaceful vibes I sought for our honeymoon. However, reality was starkly different. Locals were actively grilling, and two large party boats docked on the beach, blaring loud music. Surprisingly, this turned out to be the worst beach experience in St Lucia, despite my initial anticipation for Ti Kaye being the highlight of my 6-day trip. Adding to our disappointment, we were initially excited about the kayaking options at the resort. Upon checking in at 3:00 PM, I eagerly headed down to the beach at 3:30 PM to rent a kayak. To my dismay, I was informed that the kayaking facilities were closing soon, and they refused to provide one, despite the dive center's posted hours in the resort lobby of 9am-5pm. This inconsistency in information and the unavailability of the promised kayaking experience further contributed to the overall letdown of our stay at Ti Kaye. What compounded the disappointment further was the steep price tag of around $650 for just one night for the plunge pool room. While at the beach, another guest approached us expressing similar dissatisfaction. She mentioned being at Ti Kaye for five days, consistently inquiring about the promised free snorkeling/diving tour, only to encounter excuses every day. This echoed our own disappointment and underscored the inconsistency between the resort's promises and the reality of the experience. Our dissatisfaction with Ti Kaye Resort reached a point where we felt compelled to speak directly to the manager and express our grievances. Even showed them pictures of the flies. However, despite our efforts to communicate our disappointment, we have yet to receive any response from them. I WOULD DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE ABOUT TO DROP $650/NIGHT LOL
