Farewell notes from our Guest Register (July/99)
"Thanks so much for being so friendly, the place is so wonderful, and you guys are the best; will come back again." B.R., Key Largo, Florida, USA (July 1, 1999)
"Definitely a piece of paradise. Beautiful apartment, spectacular views and good people! Could not ask for a nicer place to stay or even to live! Congratulations on a well done job." T.H., Key Largo, Florida, USA (July 1,1999)
"Thank you for the idyllic retreat by the sea. We thoroughly enjoyed the breathtaking views, fantastic snorkeling, delightful rooms and warm hospitality. We will recommend your inn by the sea to our friends. We look forward to a return adventure. Bonne chance!" T.P.&R.H., Rocklin, California, USA (July 6, 1999)
"The Cayman Islands are noted for clear, calm seas, white sand, fine snorkeling and plenty of sun. The Turtle Nest boasts all of these in good measure, but adds two extra qualities which set it well apart from the Seven Mile Beach crunch -- it's far from the madding crowd, and its hosts give it a charm found in the best country inns in America and Europe. Bodden Town and its folk seem much more than 20 miles from SMBeach. The pace is slow, the people friendly, the atmosphere super. Marleine and Alain are comfortable as old friends right away, and their warm hearts create a really nice atmosphere among the guests. Obviously, we're glad we found the Turtle Nest and its charming proprietors." L.K.&N.K., Springfield, Missouri, USA (July 8, 1999)
"Dear Alain, Marleine and Blackie: Thank you for the awesome pool, and the nice room. I also enjoyed Blackie around; he was fun to play with and pet. I also liked the view a lot, and the nice scenery in the ocean." Derick (9 years old), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA (July 12, 1999)
"After more than half a dozen trips to this island since the '70's, and seeing the development that has occurred (much for the worse, I'm afraid), I was so glad to happen upon this place in quaint Bodden Town. Thank you so much for providing me and my family with a comfortable place to stay on this part of the island -- away from the crowds at Seven Mile Beach. You've given me a great excuse to return here, yet again. Great location, great hospitality, and reasonable price. Thanks so much." R.W.&J.W., Cincinnati, Ohio, USA (July 12, 1999)
"Dear Blackie: You are the cleanest dog on the island. Yupper! You made my trip to Turtle Nest Inn better than I expected. Yupper! Keep Alain & Marleine company while you're here. Yupper! Thanks for your being here, Blackie! Yupper!" Jade (11 years old), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA (July 12, 1999)
"What a find! We happened upon Turtle Nest Inn by accident. I love the tranquility of this place, and the feeling of home! We will tell everyone we know about this place! Thank you for everything and good luck in all your endeavors! May you be blessed!" C.B., Selman City, Texas, USA (July 15,1999)
