Farewell notes from our Guest Register (October/99)
"What a wonderful treat! On our way to Morritt's & this is the perfect spot for before & after. We loved the decor & the setting. The dinner smelled delicious -- can't wait to return." M.J.&D.J., Huntington Beach, California, USA (October 29, 1999)
"Dear Alain & Marleine: Our stay at Turtle Nest Inn was delightful. The hospitality was wonderful. The suite was bright and cheerful. The view and pool and beach, great. Thanks again." B.R.&D.R., Easton, Massachusetts, USA (October 28, 1999)
"Dear friends: From the first moment we arrived, we've been so very relaxed here at the Inn, so much so that during our week here, we found ourselves repeatedly referring to our corner of the Turtle Nest as 'home'. Each morning greeted us with a spectacular dawn & each evening, after watching the moon rise over the ocean, we were lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves. We've been soothed into a tropical dream -- now we must awaken & return to Texas, leaving this beautiful reality you've created for yourselves & for the pleasure of those lucky enough to be your guests. Thanks for the many kindnesses, for a truly wonderful, tranquil, island experience. We hope to return 'home' to the Inn next year! Love to Blackie! With warm regards." J.D.&A.D., Deer Park, Texas, USA (October 26, 1999)
"Dear Marleine & Alain: Thank you for what was a wonderful stay. After a night or two we have come to realise the beauty of the East End, particularly from a diver's perspective. You should be proud of your accomplishment in creating the Turtle Nest Inn. Thanks again." G.M.&C.M., New Hope, Pennsylvania, USA (October 19, 1999)
"Dear Alain & Marleine: Thanks so much for the beautiful place to stay on our first trip to Cayman! The Inn is lovely & every little detail was taken care of! We wanted to have the feeling of privacy & seclusion, and the Turtle Nest provided exactly that! Plus, the snorkeling was the best ever! Right in front of the Inn! The pool was also perfect! We also appreciated your dinner recommendations. The Brasserie & Portofino were both terrific! Needless to say, in spite of Hurricane Irene, the Inn made our vacation one of the best ever! Thanks always, hope to come again." S.P.&A.P., Tyler, Texas, USA (October 16, 1999)

Blackie, Social Director at Turtle Nest Inn
"Dear Marleine & Alain: Our honeymoon visit to Grand Cayman Island was sweetened by our stay at Turtle Nest Inn. From the first time we 'saw' the inn on the internet, we were so impressed by the special beauty of the inn. This was exactly the type of unique spot we were seeking for our first week of wedded bliss. Thank you for your attention to every detail. We loved the apartment we stayed in (#6) -- the view was so lovely and the ambience, incredible! The pool is beautiful & the coral reef a great place to discover underwater life teeming with fish. We enjoyed a delicious Indian meal too -- our compliments to the chef, Marleine! Dinner & dessert were superb. Our apartment sparkled every day, as it was professionally & lovingly cleaned by Doreen. We hope to return to Turtle Nest Inn in the future and will certainly recommend this intimate & elegant inn to our friends & family. P.S. Thank you for the lift from the airport and arranging for a rental car to tour GCI. " D.M.&T.M., Columbus, Ohio, USA (October 12, 1999)
"Alain, Marleine and Blackie: The Turtle Nest is such a wonderful find in the seaside village of Bodden Town. It's quiet elegance at its best on the beautiful Caribbean Sea. Your hard work really shows in your superb accommodations and service. I wish you much success. I know I'll make the Turtle Nest Inn my home again on my next trip back -- I wouldn't stay anywhere else. Thank you for your warm hospitality and attention to every detail. You really made me feel at home!" D.P., Richmond, Virginia, USA (October 10, 1999)
