• "Dear George: We're sure you know how sad we are to be leaving! You have made our holiday a real pleasure & we will miss both you & the Inn very much. Blackie & his poorly leg & the trip to that fabulous vet all added to the 'real' feeling of the Inn! On your good advice we visited practically every restaurant on the island worth visiting & thanks to you I am now 20 pounds heavier! The privacy & calmness of the Inn was just what we were looking for & the people (staff & fellow guests) were wonderful. We will miss our afternoon chats & entertainment from Alexandra & Henry!! We will be back (via Washington, DC, of course!). Thanks for everything, we had an absolutely fantastic holiday! All my love..." S.B.&S.B., Gravesend, Kent, England, UK (July 24, 2001)

• "Ours was a completely delightful stay, utterly perfect. (Which, of course, is why Elizabeth booked 2 weeks'-worth in #4 for next summer after we'd been in your hallway all of 2 minutes.) We hope you've had a glorious time in Greece. And, while we missed you, George did a great job of carrying on the Turtle Nest Inn tradition, with verve and style: always there to help, when it was needed, but never intrusive. We're relaxed, keeping the Turtle Nest Inn experience in the front of our minds until time and fate get us back to the place we love so much." R.M.,E.M.&P.M., Emporia, Kansas, USA (July 12, 2001)

• "Dear George, Alain & Marleine: Turtle Nest Inn is a remarkable place. All our expectations have been fulfilled in our stay here. The place is unique, but a place is made by the people running it. And from all of us to you, a big 'thank you'. I am sure that our kids will have this place in memory as a remarkable time, getting to know Grand Cayman. Thank you again, and as we say in Danish, 'may the wind be with you all'." B.L.,J.L.,M.L.&O.L., Hundested, Denmark (July 8, 2001)

• "Dear Alain, Marleine and George: On the eve of our departure I find myself in awe reflecting on the past week that my husband and I have spent at the inn. We both found ourselves crossing the threshold of our apartment door (upon our arrival) saying 'Wow!' Not only because of the wonderful hospitality that has been extended to us, do we find ourselves sad to leave and eager to return. We have done many activities and shared many new adventures while visiting the island, from dining at new exquisite restaurants to snorkelling at Stingray City and scuba diving with Ocean Frontiers, but we always looked forward to 'coming home' to the Turtle Nest Inn. This is more than just a place to rest our heads, this is the perfect home away from home, complete with a pool and a view of the ocean with its calming waves and gentle breezes that would rejuvenate any soul. As you know this is our honeymoon and it was great to be in the Cayman Islands away from the resort crowds and commotion. We had privacy as well as daily freshly turned over towels and bedding which would make anyone feel like royalty. But above all else you have made us feel not only the desire to return to Cayman, but the desire to return to your Inn. I will definitely recommend your establishment as 'The' place to stay when visiting Grand Cayman. A special note to George - it was a pleasure to make your acquaintance. You were a wonderful guide to the Island. We owe our adventurous honeymoon to you and we are forever grateful. We look forward to seeing you again. Sincerely..." N.A.&S.A., San Diego, California, USA (July 7, 2001)

• "Dear Alain, Marleine & !!George!!: As we return to New York today feeling very relaxed we want to thank you all for such a perfect place to spend our much needed vacation. The snorkeling off the beach was great. The tapas dinner was superb!! We hope Alain & Marleine have a great trip & find their service just as great. George is doing a great job filling in & keeping the Inn running just fine. Hope your future endeavors will be very successful. Until we meet again. Blackie & Vitamine, we love you too!!. Fondly..."

• "Dear 'Maam' and 'Sir': We couldn't have picked a better place to have our honeymoon. We're convinced that no other place on the island would have known our names like you did when we arrived. We felt like the beach was ours to ourselves. The tapas meal was awesome and a great way to meet everyone else here at Turtle Nest Inn. All honeymooners should come to Turtle Nest Inn. Thanks so much for everything." P.V.&A.V., Little Torch Key, Florida, USA (July 2, 2001)

• "Dear Alain & Marleine: Steve and I had a wonderful week and we were extremely pleased with the beautiful Turtle Nest Inn. Your inn is the perfect place for a quiet and relaxing time.

D.S.&S.S., Rockton, Illinois, USA (July 2, 2001)

• "Alain & Marleine: We truly found the perfect place for our 25th anniversary. There is no comparison for your lovely inn. Your love of TNI shows in every detail from your webpage to your friendly greeting. We especially enjoyed snorkeling off your beach, the pool, the Tapas dinner and the beautiful view. We appreciated your help with reservations, and use of the cooler and snorkeling gear. Your personal touches make your inn a 'very special place'." M.A.&P.A., Ida Grove, Iowa, USA (July 1, 2001)
