We love being out here, away from the 'hustle & bustle' of Geogre Town. Thank you for having us in your home. The pool is terrific and the view SENSATIONAL!!

• "Dear Alain & Marleine: Your 'turtle nest' is fantastic and it was our pleasure to spend our 25th wedding anniversary here. We learned to snorkel in your part of the sea and snorkeling became one of the best parts of our vacation in Grand Cayman. After long days it was so comfortable and relaxing to come back to our 'love nest' with all the comforts of home. Thank you for your hospitality. You've thought of everything and you both are part of the wonderful memories we will take home with us. Love..." B.S.&B.S., Gainesville, Florida, USA (September 15, 2000)

• "Alain & Marleine: We cannot tell you what a wonderful time we had here on the island. When we left home to travel here, we had only dreamed of how beautiful the sunsets would be, how warm the ocean would be, and how friendly the people would be. Grand Cayman has completely surpassed our expectations, as well as the Turtle Nest Inn. This place is incredible! You and your staff have been more than generous to us. Your smiling and friendly faces, as well as knowledgeable advice add to the relaxing, clean, fresh, and calmness of this place. During our stay we were able to do many of the touristy-type things like scuba dive off the North & East Ends. It is a whole different world underwater! We saw some stingrays, spotted eaglerays, turtles and even a reef shark! We even snorkled right off the beach here outside the Inn! We did our share of spending money on souvenirs & gifts in George Town and also visited Cathy Church's place (great underwater photos!), and a place called Pure Art. Both were refreshingly different than George Town. But amidst all of the more common things to see and places to go, I think the one thing we really enjoyed about the Inn was its location. We loved being among all the people of Bodden Town! The jerk chicken stand up the street is great! Altogether, we had a completely memorable experience. We will definitely be back - with our family and friends! Thank you again!!! Have a great time in Europe! Love..." J.S.&E.Z., Los Angeles, California, USA (September 14, 2000)

• "Marleine & Alain: Julie and I had an incredibly wonderful time at the TNI. You are consummate hosts, incredible chefs, and very generous and wonderful people. The TNI is definitely the only way to stay in the Caymans! Best wishes for your continued incredible success! We'll be back!" D.L.&J.L., Lexington, Massachusetts, USA (September 10, 2000)

• "We've enjoyed our stay. We had a wonderful time sightseeing. The people are so nice. This is my first time out of Texas and it was definitely worth it. I'm glad this was my first real trip - Grand Cayman. This place (Turtle Nest Inn) is really nice - it's out of the way but that is what makes it so nice. Maybe next time we'll get a room upstairs. The both of you are such kind people. Good luck. We wish you well." H.P.&B.R, Cedar Park, Texas, USA (September 10, 2000)

• "This place has been wonderful and we've really enjoyed spending time here. Grand Cayman's water is so clear and warm. The snorkeling was great and Clay loved diving again. Cementary Reef & Eden Rock - especially Eden Rock - are both places you should not miss if you're a snorkeling fan. Stingray snorkeling at the reef with Captain Dexter was excellent. After seeing the rays he takes you to a coral reef where his buddy - an eel (!) - is and he feeds him. The palm by the ocean (in the late afternoon) is the most relaxing spot on your property! Your apartments are very well equipped and the Caribbean dinner was excellent and a great way to meet new friends. Thank you again for everything and I hope to be back soon! P.S. We loved Tramp & Blackie." C.C.&S.C., Jersey City, New Jersey, USA (September 9, 2000)

• "We've had so much fun! The dives, snorkeling, Stingray City, Captain Dexter, and on and on. The company of the guests at the Turtle Nest Inn, including you both, has been a lot of fun. I have to say it's worth coming back just for your cooking and maybe we'll even bring the children - maybe. Thanks and have a great trip to Paris. Love..." C.F.&A.F., Atlanta, Georgia, USA (September 9, 2000)

• "First time in Cayman & it's by far the best island we've been to. This apartment is gorgeous! Loved the dogs - we didn't miss ours as much. Diving was perfect! All the friends we met here made it even better - especially partying around the pool at night. Plan to come back same time next year! Best Inn in the Caribbean!! Bye to Frank & Linda - we'll send you the videos we promised. Hope we will be back before you go home to England. Thanks Alain & Marleine for a really terrific vacation!" A.R.&L.R., Charlotte, North Carolina, USA (September 8, 2000)

• "The best week ever! The Turtle Nest Inn rocks! All the comforts of home on a Caribbean island & then some! However, the people we met completely made our vacation. From the helpful & hospitable proprietors (Alain & Marleine) to our 'Inn-mates' (Frank & Linda - Britain; Paul & Wendy - Connecticut, USA; Andrew & Carol - Georgia, USA; Alan & Linda - North Carolina, USA). It is nice to be reminded that people from different walks of life can come together and have a blast!! You must see Rum Point sunset and feed the stingrays with Capt. Dexter. Relaxing here is a way of life...enjoy it! We'll be back! Your friends..." P.W.&W.H., Indianapolis, Indiana, USA (September 8, 2000)

• "Dear Alain & Marleine: As always I have very much enjoyed my stay with you both at your Inn. I am feeling like extended family with your gracious hospitality. This is my third stay and I will definitely be back...soon! I wish you continued success and much happiness. Until next time..." D.P., Richmond, Virginia, USA (September 7, 2000)

• "Thank you for an absolutely wonderful time at the Turtle Nest Inn. We have fallen in love with the inn and we will be back again and again. Thanks for your hospitality and friendship...See you next year. P.S. Blackie loves Apt. 6 the best!!" P.K.&W.K., Southington, Connecticut, USA (September 3, 2000)

• "Thank you for being such gracious hosts. I was always comfortable and made to feel welcome in your special inn. I enjoy places with personal service and will be happy to recommend the Turtle Nest Inn to friends who visit Grand Cayman. All the best to you Alain and Marleine! Sincerely..." S.W., Seattle, Washington, USA (September 1, 2000)
