Farewell notes from our Guest Register (October/2005)

• "Marleine, Alain, Doreen, Sonia and Ron: What a superb package you have put together! In almost 20 years of working and traveling in the Caribbean, the Turtle Nest Inn is the classiest (and cleanest) place we have stayed at! Dinner at the Nest on Thursday was the best of our stay! Cheers. P.S. Ivan, Wilma, Alpha, Beta be damned. We had a great time on Cayman!" B.A.&P.A., Buford, Georgia, USA (October 31, 2005)

• "Charming! If you've been to the island before, know your way around, it's the way to go! Please everyone, take advantage of the terrace dinner on Thursdays. Best place I've ever stayed at for technology access. We will be back!" B.L.&L.L., Elizabeth Town, Kentucky, USA (October 31, 2005)

• "Wonderful location and great hospitality from Marleine and Alain and the best meal of the week! Definitely will be back." L.S.&S.S., Dover, Massachusetts, USA (October 29, 2005)

• "Marleine and Alain: We had a blast at your hotel, you were so helpful. We loved having Blackie, Vitamine, Béatrice around. Tell Béatrice thank you for coming out when we were here. You made us feel so at home. If we ever come back we will absolutely stay here. Thank you for providing everything you did. Your pool was always helpful when we were hot. Your beach was amazing. You can’t find another one like it. I personally think your idea of putting the conch shells around the pool edge was very clever. It makes me want to do that too." C.H., Palatine, Illinois, USA (October 29, 2005)

• "Marleine et Alain, you have thought of absolutely everything!! We are so very pleased we found Turtle Nest Inn, and wouldn’t dream of staying anywhere else on Grand Cayman. The West/East Indian Terrace Dinner was incredibly delicious – thoroughly enjoy it, all three of us (and Claire/Kevin are picky eaters!). The information and suggestions you graciously provided all week were so very helpful to enjoying our stay as well. The two of you have created something very, very special at Turtle Nest Inn. We wish you the very best always and look forward to returning some day and recommending you to one and all until then! P.S. Was wonderful to share my birthday (this week) with Marleine!" C.H.&K.H., Palatine, Illinois, USA (October 29, 2005)

• "Thank you for all that you've done to make this a special honeymoon. Your attention to detail is amazing -- from the apartments to the movies and board games during the storm. We very much enjoyed and appreciate your graciousness and hospitality and hope to be back!" T.S.& M.T., Ashland, Massachusetts, USA (October 27, 2005)

• "We hate to leave you! We could not have found a more perfect place to spend our 1st anniversary! Your inn is lovely and you made us feel so at home. We leave very relaxed and refreshed. May God bless you and keep you safe. And we hope to return one day. Love..." J.B.&E.B., Tallahassee, Florida, USA (October 27, 2005)

• "A return visit to our very favourite place in Cayman -- we wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else. Marleine and Alain are the most charming, welcoming hosts you could wish to find.

• (Translated from French, below) "In spite of Wilma, we had a great vacation week.  And what a delight to have as a backyard the ocean and its multitude of magnificient fish.  A family atmosphere with 'adopted kids' like Vitamine and Blackie (the Inn pets). It was a most enjoyable week. Thanks very much for your friendliness and availability." S.C.&P.C., Arlington, Virginia, USA (October 23, 2005)

• "Malgré Wilma, on a passé de très bon temps durant notre semaine de vacances. Et quel régal d'avoir pour jardin l'océan et sa multitude de poissons magnifiques. Une ambience très familiale avec des 'enfants' d'adoption: Vitamine et Blackie. Ce fut vraiment une semaine chouette. Merci beaucoup pour votre amiabilité et disponibilité." S.C.&P.C., Arlington, Virginia, USA (le 23 octobre 2005)

The intimate atmosphere here is not to be undone. We even got our 'pet fix' having Vitamine (the Inn cat) spending hours in our apartment. When our condo in Cayman is finally repaired in 2006 (Ivan), we will still come back to the Inn to say hello to our wonderful host and hostess. Thanks!!!"
