  • "Our second visit to Turtle Nest Inn has been just as fantastic as our first.  The private beach, the amazing snorkelling and peace and quiet are worlds away from the hustle and bustle of 7 mile beach.  Thank you, Marleine, Alain & the wonderful staff for creating such a perfect piece of paradise." M.G.&R.P., Toronto, Ontario, Canada (January 26, 2007)

  • "Marleine and Alain: Had a wonderful time. Loved your inn and hospitality. Thank you for sharing this with us!" B.D&K.D., Rockford, Michigan, USA (January 20, 2007)

  • "Marleine and Alain: We very much enjoyed our stay with you at Turtle Nest Inn! Your friendliness made the whole week restful and fun. We loved snorkeling, and swimming in the pool. You were always so helpful in making reservations for different tourist events. I would recommend it to my friends." K.M.&M.M., Indianapolis, Indiana, USA (January 20, 2007)

  • "Marleine and Alain, Once again we had a wonderful stay with you here at Turtle Nest Inn. We just love our room with its easy access to the pool -- we can be very lazy here and it's great! Good coming back for our fourth visit with you -- that speaks for itself as to your wonderful hospitality and your beautiful, comfortable inn. We loved the wine party, giving all an opportunity to get to know each other out of a bathing suit! We'll see you soon. Our best..." R.W.&S.W., Wilmington, Delaware, USA (January 20, 2007)

  • "Gard and I have so much been enjoying our visit to Grand Cayman, and a large part of our pleasure is due to Marleine and Alain and their warmth & hospitality! Vitamine and Blackie add to the fun. (I've not yet seen Beatrice.) Vitamine actually walks the sandy beach and will visit your beach towel. Turtle Nest Inn is elegant and beautiful -- like living in a most beautiful villa. How beautifully decorated -- from the art work -- originals and prints -- to the fabric on couches, the pottery and even the toothbrush holders and bathroom tumblers, and even the ceramic surrounded door hooks and the patterned cupboard handles (I can't help noticing all the small, but lovely touches, being a painter myself). Notice the tiles, the arrangement of conch shells, the plants. As for Grand Cayman, you all must try snorkelling and feed the velvety stingrays and look into ther eyes. Take a submarine 100' down and see what's happening! Go see the blowholes -- perhaps drive out to Rum Point and have dinner outside at the Kaibo yacht club (not for members only) and watch the sunset. Then sit outside on a lounge chair at night at Turtle Nest Inn and just try to count all the stars (don't really count them -- just enjoy). We both hope very much to return. Special thanks to the staff for moving us from #2 to #5 while we did the Fantasea stingray experience." D.P.&G.P., Bridgewater, New Jersey, USA (January 18, 2007)

  • "We had a wonderful visit in Grand Cayman and of course at Turtle Nest Inn. We enjoyed the friendly staff and their animal greeters. The accommodations could not have been nicer. Thanks for making our vacation memorable." L.T.&I.T., Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada (January 17, 2007)

  • "I've never seen a beach with better shells. There's treasure everywhere! I love how open and clean and refreshing the rooms are here. It's such a happy place. I can say that I'm completely content here and I wish I didn't have to go. Matt and I had a super time. I am very tanned and very relaxed and I really love my boyfriend...Thanks for bringing me here Matt! Thanks Turtle Nest Inn for being so great!" M.B., Chicago, Illinois, USA (January 16, 2007)

  • "This is a good place run  by nice people. They want you to have a good time, so take them up on the generous offers: borrow the snorkel stuff, take a cooler, have a late night BBQ...it's more fun that way. My highlights : 1)Driving east on a nice morning; 2)The conch stew at Chester's (east out of the Inn, about a mile down on the left...an orange building); 3) Snorkeling at Cemetery Beach (north part of Seven Mile); 4)Chilling out at Smith's Cove (between George Town and Bodden Town) 5)Leroy the plumber. Thanks!" M.S.,M.B.,M.S.&J.C., Chicago, Illinois, USA (January 16, 2007)

  • "Thanks for your warm welcome and glass of wine and for your help with trips, etc. The room was kept spotless -- I felt guilty that even the washing-up was done! Shame about the windy week -- no Stingray City for us! -- but perfect temperature is a reason to come back. We loved Vitamine -- our two cats are moping in the cattery. So nice to have some feline company. Glad we braved the wind on the reef -- great being the only ones out there with the excitement of a new fish with each new bit of reef. We'll recommend you highly to anyone who asks! P.S. Add Cimboco to the restaurant list -- fabulous!" N.G.&H.G., Cambridge, England, UK (January 14, 2007)

  • "The Inn is the perfect place to stay on the island. It is quiet, and has everything you need to enjoy your vacation." M.N&C.O., Park Rapids, Minnesota, USA (January 13, 2007)

  • "To the innkeepers & staff: Our honeymoon was everything we dreamed it could be! Stunningly beautiful, away from the tourist crowds, and filled with interesting sites...We were impressed with the thoroughness of the housekeeping staff and are leaving (sadly) feeling rested and rejuvenated. We're already dreaming about how quickly we can return! Thanks for everything." A.C.&A.T., Tivoli, New York, USA (January 13, 2007)

  • "Sadly, it is our time to leave. We hate to leave, but we have spent 8 glorious days on this spectacular island, at your equally spectacular inn. This, our 2nd stay here, was as perfect as the 1st, and looking forward to our 3rd being no surprise. A huge sincere thanks to Alain and Marleine, for being so warm and friendly, and making this feel like home! Unfortunately, we missed out, yet again, on your reknowned terrace dinners. Maybe next year! As always, the daily visits from Vitamine and seeing Blackie guarding the front entrance are always precious. And what a special treat this year to finally interact with the beautiful Beatrice! We absolutely love staying at Turtle Nest Inn for reasons that are too many to list. Your hospitality and graciousness are very much appreciated. We wish you the very best in '07. See you soon -- same time next year! P.S. A huge note of thanks to the entire Turtle Nest Inn staff who keep the Inn so impeccably clean, and fresh -- both inside and out. You're the best!!" R.W.&D.W., Feeding Hills, Massachusetts, USA (January 12, 2007)

  • "So sad to see our vacation come to an end. We feel like we have found paradise here at Turtle Nest Inn. Thank you so much for being such gracious hosts and we will definitely be back for many future visits. P.S. Kisses to Vitamine!" K.K.&E.K., New York, New York, USA   (January 11, 2007)

  • "Thank you for a wonderful stay. We were looking for a nice, relaxing holiday far from the usual Caribbean tourist stic & this is just the place -- really hospitable & friendly. Great snorkelling! Sorry we couldn't stay longer & experience the terrace dinner!" E.R.&A.R., Glenlivet, Scotland, UK (January 10, 2007)

  • "Marleine and Alain: We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at your Inn. Thank you so much for your hospitality. We also enjoyed the hospitality of Vitamine! She charmed us and reminded us of our own kitty back at home. We loved the Inn and thought the snorkelling right off the inn beach was amazing! We hope to come back in the future." M.A.,G.A.&K.Z., Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA (January 9, 2007)

  • "Dear Marleine and Alain: On this, our second visit with you, we had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed your fine hospitality and especially fine treatment on the part of the kitty ambassador Vitamine.

  • "Marleine and Alain: We had a great time and we hope to visit again.  Everything exceeded our expectations; the laid back atmosphere, the pool, being removed from Seven Mile Beach, the maid service, the Cuban coffee, the snorkeling right off your beach, all your recommendations, easy shopping close by, the rooms, the incredible view from suite 6, waking up in suite 6, rolling over in suite 6, sitting on the balcony of suite 6 after returning from the gym…Staying with you was great fun and we hope to do it again. Have a great ’07." P.M.,P.M.,P.M.,M.M.,W.M.&N.M., Richfield, Connecticut, USA (January 2, 2007)

  • "Our third trip was just as perfect as our first & second. Thank you for all of the extra-special touches and the time we got to spend getting to know you better.
