If you are thinking of staying at Ti Kaye you will not be disappointed. Everything was perfect!
The place is a little off the beaten path, so the resort and beach are nice and secluded (perfect for a honeymoon or anniversary). All beaches in St. Lucia are public beaches, so some can be crowded. But since Ti Kaye Resort is off on it's own (about a mile and a half down a bumpy road off the main road), you don't get much of anyone there other than those staying at the resort.
