Farewell notes from our Guest Register
December 2007

  • "Very pleasant and tranquil. Beautiful setting!" C.L.& R.L., San Francisco, California, USA (December 31, 2007)

  • "To our wonderful hosts: Rarely in travel but also in life, do you encounter such graciousness, hospitality and kindness in an accommodation and in innkeepers. Our stay here has been rejuvenating yet peaceful and we leave refreshed and with renewed optimism that there is so much good in the world. Thank you for that. To be your guests feels as though we have spent time with family and we will carry your beautiful home with us in our hearts until we revisit -- hopefully soon! Bonne Année!" C.W.&B.W., Montclair, Virginia, USA (December 30, 2007)

  • "We are not done yet -- one and a half days to go...We adore this island, love the people and their language(s); seems we Texans have an accent here as well. Our condo #7 is like the Internet stated -- ocean views, comfortable beds, tons of storage, lots of light, perfect. We came to regroup, reconnect as a family, this island fit the bill. Made us aware of how busy we are. To watch Alain & Marleine so at ease and at peace here at Turtle Nest makes us smile in retrospect, will force us to take stock in the rhythm of our lives and reflect on our dream of being in a permanent place of paradise as our gracious hosts. We thank you for the 'wake up call of life', the warm smiles and honest conversations. Thanks Marleine for the use of the computer. I was about to burst at the seams to see the 300 plus photos I'd taken in three days!! And kudos to you Alain for getting the monitor ready for us, we owe you big time. Ramble as I may, I wanted to thank you once again for your hospitality & look forward to another adventure as we have another 36 hours before we depart. We will return. The jerk chicken is in our systems. Forever shall we remember you." C.M., B.M.&A.M., Allen, Texas, USA (December 30, 2007)

  • "Our second time here this year and, as we are packing to leave, I'm a little teary. We are already thinking about our next stay here. We so enjoy the warmth & kindness of Turtle Nest.
