Rooms & suites

Who fits where at Ti Kaye Resort & Spa

All 4 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.

The research file · Ti Kaye Resort & Spa

Before you book

Eight things the research turned up about Ti Kaye Resort & Spa that the brochure does not say.

  1. Best for couples who want seclusion, snorkeling, and an adults-only cottage experience.

  2. The all-inclusive package is optional; travelers who want to explore the island can choose a lighter meal plan.

  3. Mobility-sensitive travelers should review the hillside layout before booking.

  4. Hidden tips

    Choose a plunge-pool cottage if the room experience is central to the trip.

  5. Plan snorkeling and beach time early in the stay, since Anse Cochon is one of the resort's biggest strengths.

  6. Things guests wish they had known

    Ti Kaye offers both bed-and-breakfast and all-inclusive packages, so the all-inclusive experience is optional.

  7. The resort is intentionally remote, and that remoteness is both a strength and a limitation.

  8. The beach and snorkeling are major draws, but guests should expect hills, stairs, and a smaller resort footprint.

From Reddit
Sentiment: Split

Reddit feedback is strongly positive for romance, pool cottages, outdoor showers, snorkeling, and the uncrowded beach, while also emphasizing that Ti Kaye is remote and not nightlife-focused.

What it costs

The rate, and where to check it

Our tracker samples real rates for a two-adult, 7-night stay on a rotating schedule, so the number below is a checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. The channels underneath price the same stay; a few minutes across them is routinely worth a night's rate.

Per-person figures assume two sharing. This resort prices room-only by default; the all-inclusive plan is a paid add-on, so add it when you book.

Best time to visit

Dec to May

Temperature barely moves here across the year, so rain is the whole decision: the wet months run Jun to Dec. Hurricane season is real here: about 1 in 3 Augusts sees one pass within 100 miles, most recently Beryl in 2024.

Odds count the complete years, 1980 to 2025, in which a hurricane passed within about 100 nautical miles of St. Lucia, the nearest point in the NOAA and IBTrACS records to this resort. Two storms in one month still count that year once. How the hurricane belt works
