• "Dear Alain & Marleine: This was our very first trip to the Cayman Islands and I must say 'Wow...how gorgeous and unbelievable this island is!' We had no idea that places like this even existed on Earth. The very best part of our stay has been Turtle Nest Inn. Everything from the turquoise water to having our own private beach resort and having a spacious ocean front apartment really made this an unforgettable experience! We really wanted to go some place very special for our honeymoon and we could not have chosen a more lovely place to be. Both of you have been wonderful and you are part of what makes this place so fantastic! We wish you both the best and we really look forward to returning someday. Again, thank you for the most unbelievable experience! Sincerely...P.S. This is the best kept secret in the world!! S.B.&J.B., Indianapolis, Indiana, USA (June 25, 2002)

Thank you so much for all the hospitality we received. (Only 1 small suggestion -- lamps in the living room to use instead of the bright overhead lighting.) We loved our stay with you and definitely will return." S.J.&S.J., Houston, Texas, USA (June 20, 2002)

A respite by the sea, away from the hustle of the tourist glitz & development, but surrounded by the islands's natural beauty.
