Snorkelling off the Inn beach (Robert and Debby Clower)
"We had a wonderful time & loved our stay at your Inn. Thanks so much..." M.P.,S.P.,K.P.,S.P.&J.P., Guelph, Ontario, Canada (April 30, 2006)
"Alain and Marleine, Once again it was like coming home -- wonderful people, fantastic and comfortable accommodations, but it's you guys that make this place what it is. Keep it up! I will pray to the rain gods for lots of rain but no hurricanes so that the lush vegetation can grow back, but that you and your property will stay safe! Until next time and au revoir!" S.R.&M.E., Tucson, Arizona, USA (April 29, 2006)
Snorkelling off the Inn beach (Robert and Debby Clower)
"Alain and Marleine, Thank you so much for your hospitality -- we had a wonderful time far away from the crowds on 7-Mile Beach. Snorkeling right off the beach here was some of the best especially the back side. We have been telling everyone what a great place this is. All the best..." J.C.&A.T., Portland, Oregon, USA (April 29, 2006)
"Thank you Alain & Marleine for a wonderful stay! This was a dream anniversary trip for us. We snorkeled Eden Rock, Devils Grotto and Cemetary Reef. All are drive & walk-to sites and a must see. Fish and coral are outstanding but nothing beats the tour with Captain Dexter on Fantasea Tours. He will take you to reefs that will make your jaw drop, plus you get to pet the stingrays. I could go on & on but I'll recommend Turtle Nest Inn to anyone who wants a laid back, don't-fight-the crowd vacation. Thanks! P.S. You have to try the Jerk Chicken at Chesters -- hmm good." R.C.&D.C., Grand Saline, Texas, USA (April, 27, 2006)
"Thanks again for a wonderful 2 nights' visit. Turtle Nest Inn is still beautiful (despite Ivan!) and the hospitality is unique. Attention to detail is second to none. The suites are beautiful and we love your color schemes! We hope to be back again -- this time before 7 years!! God bless you both!" P.R.&B.R., Englewood, Florida, USA (April 28, 2006)

"Our first trip to Cayman Islands not counting a short visit from a cruise. We loved the island. Wonderful clean rooms. Hope to see you again soon." V.B.&N.B., Florence, Mississippi, USA (April 25, 2006)
"A wonderful five days on Grand Cayman. We had a wonderful stay. Turtle Nest Inn was perfect for us. Our kids loved the pool and the beach and everyone was very welcoming. We look forward to returning." M.M.&J.S., Boston, Massachusetts, USA (April 24, 2006)
"If one word could describe Turtle Nest and Marleine and Alain, it is 'exquisite'. Delightful and charming. We have stayed all over the world and paid a lot for rooms. Nothing has even come close to the warmth and peacefulness that the nest holds. It is only very rare that people find a place, person, atmosphere that is so inspiring. I found it here." H.W.&S.W., Naples, Florida, USA (April 23, 2006)

"Turtle Nest Inn was one of our favorite vacations yet...best snorkeling on the island, wonderful rooms and best of all, the warm and welcome feeling you all give it. When we come back to TNI, we will bring friends for certain. Our lads loved it, especially Blackie, Beatrice and our all time favorite, Vitamine. Thanks for everything."T.M.,P.M.,K.M.&L.M., Breezy Point, New York, USA (April 21, 2006)

"Warren, Ambrose and I had a fantastic time at the Turtle Nest Inn! This was our second visit, our first was pre-Ivan in 2003! The Inn looked as good as ever! Warren had a fantastic birthday.

"Thanks so much for everything. The snorkelling was wonderful and having a car and cooking our own meals was the best option for our first visit to the Cayman Islands. We'll be back." V.A.&R.A., Deep Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada (April 13, 2006)

"We loved our stay at Turtle Nest Inn. Everything about the Inn is first class in our books. Location, setting, amenities; friendly and helpful people. We will definitely be back! We will tell our friends about Turtle Nest Inn." K.R.&D.R., Hinton, Alberta, Canada, USA (April 12, 2006)
"We had a great stay at your Inn. You and Alain were wonderful hosts and very interesting to talk to about your experiences on the island. I am sorry that we missed saying goodbye too. Thanks for all your help and kindness during our stay. The Inn was more than we expected and worked perfectly for us. We had room to spread our stuff out and relax. The snorkeling was good in front of the Inn and we were able to explore the entire island from there. The boys were able to swim and play in the pool so they did not tire of the snorkeling and the salt water. The animals were nice to have around too, having 2 cats, a dog and a bird at our home. I loved your high quality sheets and bedding on all the beds, it is amazing how that helps you sleep better at night. Thanks for the movies that were a good end to the day, and put us to sleep each night. The Inn was classy, as were the owners, and we were sad to leave but cannot wait to return. It is one of the most relaxing vacations that we have had in a while. Please let us know of any specials that you may have in the future. I think our room # 6 was the best room in the Inn, with the best view, and we would definetly want to stay in that room again. I also liked that the rooms were well stocked with necessary items and not too much decorative stuff that you find in some condos." A.D.,C.H.,A.H.&T.H., Atlanta, Georgia, USA (April 10, 2006)
"What a charming place! We loved our oceanfront apartment & little balcony with the beautiful view of the sea. The staff is very helpful and nice. Unfortunately, we had only three nights here & it's on to Seven Mile Beach. We will miss the calmness & serenity of the East End. We will be back! P.S: Recommend Ocean Frontiers for diving; food at Lighthouse Restaurant, Castaways, Woods jerk shack, and the small, green jerk joint before Woods." T.H.&C.H., Yorba Linda, California, USA (April 9, 2006)

"Thanks for a fantastic stay! It was a great introduction to island living. We loved the introduction to snorkeling made possible by the loan (of equipment) from the Inn. The little touches made the difference. We'll be recommending Turtle Nest to our friends." D.L.&A.L., Indianapolis, Indiana, USA (April 8, 2006)
"Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. Love the apartment -- very clean and comfortable. Vitamine made us feel at home, very sweet and friendly. Thanks for all the information about the island. We'll be back!" K.M.&M.A., Chatham County, North Carolina, USA (April 3, 2006)

Family fun in the pool at Turtle Nest Inn (Val & Chris

"We had the perfect honeymoon here at Turtle Nest Inn! We went horseback riding, drove around the whole island, snorkeled, did the Atlantis sub, and relaxed! We are so glad that we were at a quiet part of the island! Loved the jerk chicken! Thank you for being gracious hosts!" D.D.&K.H., Frankfort, Indiana, USA (April 2, 2006)
"This is our first stay in Bodden Town (and our first visit since Ivan) and we thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful spot and the people who were our 'hosts', including the four-legged ones. We consider it a privilege to be able to share a bit of time in this beautiful, beautiful part of the world. Thanks to all who make our visits here so wonderful." J.M.&J.M., Bacliff, Texas, USA (April 2, 2006)
"A fabulous time! The weather, the people, the view and the service here all were wonderful! We loved the information TNI provided us -- it was useful, informative and a personal touch! We found our vacation to be extremely relaxing & look forward to coming back soon! We will miss 'Cayman time' back in the U.S. Thank you for everything."
