Booked Honeymoon! Check!

Well it certaintly wasn't an easy choice, I actually got quite overwhelmed with all the options on my own that I ended up visiting Liberty Travel to enlist an agent to help. Unfortunately i didn't have a good experience with two different agents. They didn't get my "style" of exotic that I was looking for. I specifically ruled out certain places that we have visited before and for some reason they kept pushing these areas onto me. I turned to tripadvisor and started doing more research into reviews of resorts and finally chose 8 nights at St. Lucia's Ti Kaye Village. Its just the exotic, tranquil and serene isolation we were looking for. I ended up giving the TA this choice to help me with booking it and she wasn't thrilled... then after getting pricing and info myself from the resort over the phone she ended up telling me that they no longer had a contract with Ti Kaye.
I know most people recommend a TA because they can get perks you otherwise couldn't on your own but when I spoke to the resort the assured me 99.9% of people who book one of their 33 cottages are honeymooners so I felt confident going with it on my own.
Anyway So Excited!! We booked an oceanfront cottage that has an outdoor shower and our own private plunge pool off the verandah. There are so many activites to do in St Lucia too... snorkeling under the pitons, visiting the waterfalls, the Botanical gardens, the Sulphur Springs (drive-in volcano), enjoying an on-site bali couples massage, a romantic seafood candlelit dinner for two on the balcony, and may even take a water taxi to a highly recommended restaunant the Rainforest Hideaway in Marigot Bay.
Anyone else been to St. Lucia and can recommend activites here that are must dos?

  • We went to St. Lucia for our HM and absolutely loved it! I would highly recommend doing the zip lining through the rainforest (the views are phenomenal) and the Exodus tours. The Exodus tour was a sea and land tour to the pitons, snorkeling, waterfalls, and mud baths at the sulphur springs. Its def. worthwhile. You picked a great HM location (:

  • That exodus tour sounds amazing. Do you remember who you booked through? Also what time of year did you go and how was the water temp?

    We booked it through the vendors on the beach but this is their website if you want to check them out: <a href="http://exodusstlucia.com/" rel="nofollow">http://exodusstlucia.com/</a> . There are other tours like Simon Says and Joes Knows that do very similar tours as well. We went in early August this summer. I usually rarely go in the water when I'm on vacation because everything seems so cold to me but I actually was in the ocean everyday in St. Lucia. The water was warm and was so refreshing.

    My friend stayed at the same resort for her HM in June and she loved it.

  • I am going here in 18 days for my honeymoon!! I've heard nothing but great things about it and am super excited! We'll be there for 12 days. We actually started booking through a travel agent, but we ended up finding a MUCH better deal on Orbitz.  The travel agent was able to match it once we showed her the huge price difference which was good because she's a friend and we wanted her to get the points for working with us. 
    I'll be sure to pass along some tips when I get back :-)
