Farewell notes from our Guest Register
March 2007
  • "Nice to return, The Inn is even more beautiful than pre-hurricane Ivan. We will definitely return" G.L.,N.T.&S.T., Boston, Massachusetts, USA (March 31, 2007)

  • "Dear Marleine, Alain and Donna: Once again we were able to be here only briefly...yet one day/night longer than last year... (sh-sh-sh) don't tell because it is against my teaching contract and well worth it! Donna, you are such an open, welcoming, fun, patient, caring, helpful addition to an already wonderful 'family'. Perhaps my favorite thing about TNI is that because of the atmosphere, size, and personalization of care we feel like part of a family with all of the guests who are so friendly as well. Of course Blackie alerts us of new visitors and then accepts them as family. We love you and TNI..." L.K.&R.K., Baroda, Michigan, USA (March 31, 2007)

  • "Dear Marleine, Alain & Donna: Thank you for making my stay the perfect week away! Everything was wonderful, the room, the service, the easy-going atmosphere. There is no place I would recommend more highly than Turtle Nest Inn. Merci bien! Best..." L.B., Centerville, Massachusettts, USA (March 31, 2007)

  • “My family and I spent the week here. Coming from Missouri, we were totally amazed by the beauty of the fish we saw when we snorkeled right off of the Inn beach. We saw so many incredible things. The guests and the staff at Turtle Nest Inn were so friendly and helpful! We loved staying here and meeting every one. Thank you so much for everything. We hope to see you again. P.S: The pets were an added bonus!”  D.B.,B.B.,B.B.,&B.B., Columbia, Missouri, USA (March 30, 2007)

The people make the holiday & the crew who work here are so friendly & helpful. If only everyone in the world were so nice. Thank you for your kind hospitality. Thanks Turtle Nest & crew.

  • "What a beautiful place to relax, rest and recharge. Despite the quality of your website, the actual place exceeded our expectations and we are sad to be going home. Having visited quite a number of other Caribbean Islands we are in no doubt that the friendliness and ease that we have experienced in Grand Cayman exceeds all others. The intimacy and peace of the Inn's location along with the welcome extended by the owners and their animals, has certainly made it a holiday to long remember. With very many thanks..." S.R.&I.R., Cowes. Isle of Wight, United Kingdom (March 20, 2007).

  • "We loved our stay -- the views were gorgeous from our room and the pool, our apartment was kept beautifully (and our breakfast dishes washed!), our hosts were lovely and the whole staff kind and helpful. Vitamine, Beatrice, & Blackie all played their part! Thanks to all! P.S: And how can we forget -- the best snorkeling on the island right in front of the hotel." N.L.&M.S., New York, New York, USA (March 17, 2007)

  • "Thank you so much for a wonderful time. The service was wonderful. Snorkeling gear, beach towels, kayaks, and the cooler available everyday for our travel. Thank you for perfect weather, the wonderful other visitors at the Inn, for helping my daughter with her French and for the social night with wine. Great snorkeling out front was perfect. When we come back again it will definitely be here!!" M.K.,J.K.,K.K.,&G.K., Platteville, Wisconsin, USA (March 17, 2007)

  • "Thank you so much for a truly wonderful week. Your Inn is beautiful and the staff made us feel at home from the moment we arrived.

We will certainly be back next year." T.M.,P.M.,&J.M., Whitefish Falls, Ontario, Canada (March 17, 2007)

  • "Turtle Nest Inn is a wonderful gem on Grand Cayman. It was everything we expected and more! The setting is peaceful and so relaxed you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The Inn deserves a 5-star rating. Snorkeling, the stingrays and the sunset seating at The Reef Grill are not to be missed. A gracious and accommodating staff made the TNI experience complete. A delightful napping Vitamine made it truly feel like our home away from home for our week here. Marleine, Alain, Donna & Paulette, thank you so much. We hope to return." C.K.,D.K.,&A.K., Dallas, Texas, USA (March 17, 2007)

Hope to see you all again. (Blackie, Vitamine & Beatrice are the icing on the cake)” M.F.,Oakland, California, USA (March 14, 2007)

  • “Caymanian hospitality is like a turtle: all muscle, strong, resiliant. The beds of young coral, stretching like wildflowers across a meadow, promise a bountiful return after Ivan’s storm. I hope to return and see them grown and blossoming.” C.F., Oakland, California, USA (March 14, 2007) 

  • “Thank you for the great time. We enjoyed our stay and the peacefulness in early week. The views are incredible and unforgettable.

  • “Dear Alain, Marleine, Blackie, Vitamine & staff: Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation. We loved the island, with its beaches and snorleling (and pina coladas), But at the end of the day, we were always thrilled to be returning to the Inn. It is our favorite place on the island and there was nothing more relaxing and recharging than sitting on the porch and listening to the waves.The mornings were the most memorable – sitting on our private balcony and watching the sun come up over the water. There will be many times in the coming stressful months when we will return to that image to restore our sanity! You have created a wonderful haven here, and we look forward to returning in the future (and next time we won’t fret about the weather reports!). Best...” M.S.&A.S., Charlottesville, Virginia, USA (March 10, 2007)

  • “Dear Alain, Marleine, and staff: We came to Turtle Nest Inn with high expectations, because of the many glowing comments we had read when planning our trip. Each of our expectations was met, and then some. We were suprised and so pleased with all of your amenities which we hadn't planned for – sand toys, snorkel gear, BBQ grill, beach chairs...all of which made our first vacation with our one-year old very easy! Your property is beautiful, inviting, and extremely well kept. We will miss coming home to such tidy living quarters every day! Asa will miss his visits with Blackie! Our first visit to Cayman has been wonderful – thanks for everything. Regards...” E.R.,B.R.&A.R., Natick, Massachusetts, USA (March 9, 2007)

  • “Another great trip and adventure.” L.T.&N.S., Covington, Tennessee, USA (March 9, 2007)

  • “The last 4 nights here has been the best vacation we have been on yet! Your friendliness made us feel extremely welcomed and we will never forget it. If we ever come back to Cayman we will stay in no other place but Turtle Nest Inn. We are sad to have to go and stay in the Marriott because we will miss the tranquility of this place.

  • "The mesmerizing rhythm of Turtle Nest melts away stress and envelopes us in warm tranquility each time we visit. Marleine and Alain create an environment that is soothing to the spirit and balm for the soul while delivering the elegance and intimacy promised. Housekeepers Sonia and Paulette helped make our month here an extra-ordinary pleasure with their sweet natural approach to caring for all our needs. Thank you again for helping us through the ordeal of our car accident and for embracing our children while they visited from Holland. We felt like a royal family and can't wait to return in '08! Fondly..." T.J.&S.J., Lexington Park, Maryland, USA (March 1, 2007)
