Farewell notes from our Guest Register (September/99)
"You must be the best Cayman has to offer. Your warm hospitality made this past week with our son, J.B., even more special. We have done everything and been everywhere! We swam with sharks, moray eels, stingrays and the most beautiful tropical fish. We went 100 feet down the wall in a submarine. We ate in great restaurants and bought stuff in unique shops. But it has always been extra nice to come home to the Turtle Nest every day. Even Blackie befriended us! We take home to South Carolina memories of a lifetime." J.W.&J.W., Walterboro, South Carolina, USA (September 1, 1999)
"Alain & Marleine: Thank God for the Internet! We were so pleased to have found your 'paradise' on Cayman! The Inn is beautiful, very well laid out and a convenient locale to all the other spots on the island. Your dining recommendations were very appreciated and the food you prepared for us during our little party was excellent! I wish we had another nite to try some of your special selections. We enjoyed visiting with you and your guests and hope to return in the future. We wish you both the best and congratulate you on your most successful business -- it's a wonderful 'home away from home'!" K.M.&M.M., Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, USA (September 4, 1999)
"Thank you so much for a beautiful stay at your superb resort! You have a wonderful place & we will spread the word in Florida. We will stop in to see you both (& Max!!) at Christmas. Love & God bless." P.R.&B.R., Lakeland, Florida, USA (September 6, 1999)
"We feel so fortunate to have stayed at your beautiful resort. Thank you for your kind hospitality!" D.L.,L.L.,D.L.,&M.L., Lufkin, Texas, USA (September 7, 1999)
"Thank you so much for a beautiful holiday. We couldn't have picked a better spot to spend a week after our engagement. Turtle Nest was everything we thought it would be and is definitely on the best side of the island. Your generosity & helpfulness are greatly appreciated and we will, and already have been, spreading the good word about the beautiful 'nest' by the water. Thanks so much." A.C.&T.S., Washington, District of Columbia, USA (September 7, 1999)
"Marleine and Alain: Bev and I want to express our thanks and appreciation for a fabulous time at the Turtle Nest Inn. The apartment was superb, the atmosphere so very friendly and the food was gourmet. We were happy to be able to bring our friends here for dinner and we all had a great evening. We plan to return next year and hope we can spend more time at your place. Regards." B.L.&L.L., Baltimore, Maryland, USA (September 10, 1999)
"Dear Alain & Marleine: What a beautiful place you have created here...reminiscent of the small inns on the Mediterranean, with all the same charm and elegance. I will be sure to tell everyone in 'Hollyweird'! Thank you so much for your gracious hospitality and the wonderful dinner, so beautifully prepared! Best of luck & good wishes!" T.M., Los Angeles, California, USA (September 11,1999)
"Alain & Marleine: What a beautiful inn you have here in paradise! Chris & I have enjoyed every moment of our stay and will certainly recommend the Turtle Nest Inn to all of our friends & family. Thank you for your warm hospitality." B.M.,C.M.&A.M., Charlotte, North Carolina, USA (September 12, 1999)
"Alain & Marleine: Many thanks for a wonderful island experience. We wish you continued success for as long as the Inn is our little secret!" B.P.&B.P., Geneva, Illinois, USA (September 16, 1999)
"Super hôtel, super endroit, super service! Nous sommes fiers d'être les premiers 'cousins' à être venus vous voir. Bravo pour votre réalisation et longue vie au Nid de Tortues!!!" N.P.&C.F., St-Étienne, France (September 25, 1999)
(Translated from the French, above): "Super hotel, super location, super service! We're proud to have been your first 'cousins' to come and visit. Bravo for what you've created, and long life to the Turtle Nest!" N.P.&C.F., St-Étienne, France (September 25, 1999)
"Two days here have well surpassed the week at the Tortuga Club. Although we are timeshare owners, this will be the only place we'll come back to on Grand Cayman. Congrats & good luck! If you need help, consider expanding or hear of a similar venture, let us know. We are already planning how we can be your neighbors! Thanks to both of you, & Blackie, & Clown (I named Blackie's friend that for his big nose and funny antics). See you soon." S.L.&F.L., Indianapolis, Indiana, USA (September 27, 1999)
