Farewell notes from our Guest Register (August/99)

• "Dear Alain & Marleine: Our expectations of our stay at the Turtle Nest Inn were certainly surpassed! From the moment we arrived and saw the breathtaking view of the ocean through the front doors, we knew instantly that we made the right choice! We told everyone we met during our stay here in CI about this wonderful place called the Turtle Nest Inn in Bodden Town. Your hospitality is so warm and gracious -- thanks for making this trip such a memorable experience for all of us. The kids had a great time and we're already talking about a return trip. Best wishes!" J.L.,D.L.,J.L.,E.L.&C.L., Baiting Hollow, New York, USA (August 5, 1999)

• "Marleine & Alain: Your hospitality has made us feel 'at home' here on your beautiful island! We will be proud to refer you to all the Bulls fans in Chicago. Thanks also for keeping your eye on Frankie & Danielle. Can't wait to see you again soon. Take care. Accommodations are superb!" F.B.,M.B.,F.B.&D.B., Chicago, Illinois, USA (August 6, 1999)

• "Dear Marleine and Alain and Blackie: We had a great time and you have a lovely place. Thanks for teaching me backgammon and for the games. The diving was wonderful.

• "Staying here for the last two days of our vacation was a wonderful decision. We really got to explore and experience the eastern portion of the island. Staying here made our trip to Grand Cayman complete. Thank you so much. Also, we really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere, and Blackie made me not miss my own pet so much. We had a wonderful stay and the Turtle Nest Inn was a perfect ending to our great visit to Grand Cayman. Thank you again." H.H.&T.W., Atlanta, Georgia, USA (August 17, 1999)

• "What an idyllic place you have created. Everything is absolutely wonderful -- a truly beautiful location -- but above all, your warmth and friendliness to everyone.

J.J., Cardiff, Wales, UK (August 18, 1999)

• "What a wonderful place to stay, most accommodating hosts, Marleine and Alain were extremely helpful in every way. Our one-bedroom unit was perfect. We most enjoyed just watching the sea. We definitely will return for a longer stay." P.S.&W.S., Atlanta, Georgia, USA (August 21,1999)

• "Marleine & Alain: The views, beach, pool, snorkeling and café latté were second only to your wonderful hospitality. You have managed to create a 'home' for those of us who pass thru. You are both an inspiration to us. Turtle Nest Inn truly has the best of everything to offer on the island. This is what holidays & living are supposed to be about. We'll be back -- and will share our recommendations with others many times over. Looking forward to seeing you in Barcelona as well. Cheers!" L.L.B.&R.B., Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain (August 29,1999)
