“This truly was a jewel! We stayed here to celebrate my birthday and the first time travelling without kids. And we couldn’t have been happier. My sweetest memory is walking through the lobby and seeing Blackie, the kitties and Marleine’s smiling face, and then walking out to the beautiful pool & ocean. What a blessing this has been for us!” K.A.&K.A., Mankato, Minnesota, USA (December 21, 2008)

“There are no superlatives left to describe Turtle Nest Inn and it’s staff — it’s all been said and we heartily endorse it all. We’ve had the best week and wish it had been at least two. Only disappointment — we thought Vitamine loved only us but now we find she has been liberal with her favours! We would love to come again and will certainly recommend TNI to all our friends. Thank you for a really great experience. Best wishes…” A.K.&B.K., Houston, Texas, USA (December 20, 2008)
“From a forner travel agent: Friendly folks, authentically so I even get a little lesson in French. Quiet & relaxing. Perfect location. Gorgeous beach & water. a little windy for kayaking and some times snorkeling, but no real disappointment. For our $$ best on island. Thanks for great amenities too.” D.B.&S.B., Leetsdale, Pennsylvania, USA (December 18, 2008)
“Had a nice, RELAXING time here at Turtle Nest. Just what I needed! It’s a quiet, clean, beautiful, & well-run inn.

Special THANX to my friend Ms. Donna Summer, you’re such a nice, caring lady. Hope to see you again sometime. All the best.” G.S., Beachwood, New Jersey, USA (December 14, 2009)
“We were so excited to be spending our second ‘Pryse Family Christmas Vacation’ here at Turtle Nest Inn and we are so sad to be leaving. The week just flew by! Everything was just as we remembered. The snorkeling in front of the Inn was incredible. We saw a herd of tarpin, 18 to be exact; barracuda, rays, and assorted colorful fish playing hide & seek in the coral. We loved the calm, quiet, and relaxed atmosphere the inn provides. We enjoyed Alain’s company sharing travel stories along with a perfect bottle of wine. We did miss Marleine though and hope to see more of her next time. Donna & Paulette helped fill our every need and we thank them for taking such good care of us. We enjoyed Blackie, Beatrice & Callaloo (hope she finds her collar & tag) but most of all the lovable Vitamine. She visited us every day for head-butting, petting & naps. She must have known that we all were missing our cats at home. Very wise kitty! Thank you all for helping to ‘recharge our batteries’ as we head back to our hectic lives. Merry Christmas & Happy 2009! The Pryse Family. P.S: The lending library (books & videos) is such a nice touch! We made good use of it.” W.P.,C.P.,B.P.,K.P.,&N.P., Southport, North Carolina, USA (December 14, 2008)
“This is one of the best resorts we have stayed at, bar none, and the best in terms of hospitality. The rooms were squeaky clean, amenities we would have to rent at any other resort were provided gratis (snorkelling, wireless Internet, cable channels/DVD), and most of all, Donna and the rest of the staff made special efforts to accommodate us. For a more relaxed, local experience, choose Turtle Nest over Seven Mile!” C.H.&B.H., Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA (December 13, 2008)
“For shallow reef snorkeling — Bodden Town reefs are the best! For quiet, ambience and first class attention to details — Turtle Nest is the best!

I even saw your resident nurse shark — very friendly! I will miss all your animals especially Vitamine who visited us regularly ahnd made us feel at home. We will definitely tell everyone about this Caribbean Gem. Thank you for a memorable two weeks, Donna, Marleine & Alain.” C.P.&D.P., Dorchester, Ontario, Canada (October 31, 2008)
“Our stay here at Turtle Nest has been absolutely wonderful, peaceful and beautiful. Coming from Chicago the weather here, rain or shine, was gorgeous compared to the 30’s back home. The beaches are amazing on the island, and whatever you do you MUST swim with the stingrays. It is a once in a lifetime event. We were here for eight days and went to just about every nook and cranny you could find on the island and we found Bodden Town to be GREAT. Seven Mile strip is great and beautiful but we prefer here at Turtle Nest Inn. This is more like lsland living in the Caymans. Thank you for such a GREAT TIME! P.S:Very happy to have the dog and cats as part of the family as we missed our own dog and cat back home.” M.D.&S.D., Chicago, Illinois, USA (October 29, 2008)

“My baby, the au pair, and I are from Germany. As a matter of fact, I am Turkish-German. We really felt so comfortable and so welcomed here. Although, the weather was not nice, we still had plenty to with the baby. Marleine was nice enough to give us some ideas where to go with the baby — they did everything to let us feel appreciated and understood. Even the last day, she called at Rum Point to ask them to pick up the snorkels we had borrowed. They are great, and the place is intimate, secluded and very friendly! PS. We came because of the reviews at TripAdvisor – we surely want to came again!” L.O.,Y.O.&L.O., Altanta, Georgia, USA (October 23, 2008)

Love'” K.K.&J.E., Arlington, Virginia, USA (October 21, 2008)
“My husband and I had the opportunity to celebrate our 22nd anniversary at Turtle Nest Inn — it was absolutely delightful!

We enjoyed the pool area and snorkeling off the beach. We will definitely return to TNI!” V.H.&J.H., Jacksonville, Florida, USA (October 20, 2008)
“We had a lovely stay here. Thanks for everything! And we got engaged on the beach here!” K.S.&B.W., Arlington, Virginia, USA (October 19, 2008)
“I selected Turtle Nest because of the rave reviews on TripAdvisor and because my husband and I wanted to be away from the crowds, to experience all the island has to offer from a central location. TNI has exceeded our expectations. The hospitality, cleanliness, the views and all the extras were fantastic. We especially enjoyed the snorkeling here (and at Smith Cove), the trip to Stingray City, the Botanic Park and snuba near the shipwreck. The marine life here is better than I’ve seen in Costa Rica, Belize or Hawaii — just amazing!! It was the perfect way to celebrate our 2nd anniversary. Thanks so much!

Steppng out on the balcony to view the moon, and we were already in love! The people here really make the TNI — great suggestions for activities, side trips and dining options. Loved the white guest information book and input on resturants. The room is spotless on a daily basis. The kitchen is well supplied with all the necessaries and more. Thank you for thinking of everything right down to the sunscreen downstairs. We look forward to another stay at TNI. Your location is the best, easy to get to everything — quiet, away from George Town. Love the room & car package.” G.H.&B.H., Rochester, Minnesota, USA (October 16, 2008)
“We were here just a few months ago (at the end of July) and stayed in the condos, which were great too. Decided to come back for a short diving trip and the village view room worked out perfectly. As before, everything was perfect. Enjoyed visiting with all the cats & Blackie again. Definitely will be back next year.” S.G.&E.G., Phoenix, Arizona, USA (October 14, 2008)

“Thank you Turtle Nest Inn for a wonderful & beautiful stay. Everyone was so nice to us, expecially our hosts, & Donna and Paulette. Our favorite part of the vacation was steppong out our front door and seeing all the beautiful creatures of the sea. Bob’s favorite was seeing the barracuda. We had a very comfortable stay and it was awesome to ptay in nature’s playground.” B.S.&M.S., Suffolk, Virginia, USA (October 9, 2008)
“Thanks to everyone here at Turtle Nest Inn. We had a wonderful time and instantly fell in love with our ‘home away from home’.

“Thanks so much for a wonderful time! Everything was lovely but the people are the best part. We were warned that it was possible to ‘fall in love with the island’ and its true.

“A big THANK YOU to everyone here at Turtle Nest Inn, we have had a wonderful, relaxing and fun vacation here — for the second year in a row! We loved everything, our same room from last year was cosy and inviting and very comfortable! The beach & snorkling out front, the kayak & the pool — what more could you ask for?? Everyone’s help in booking reservations and with suggestions was so helpful. Dinner at our favorite Lighthouse Resturant and new adventures this year snorkeling at Cemetary Beach, the Botantic Park, and much more. It is hard to leave heaven on earth. so we vow to return! Thank you again! P.S: We enjoyed your pets too, a friendly bunch!” L.E.&T.E., London, England, UK (September 27, 2008)
“Turtle Nest is wonderrful, even more than I expected. The first time I opened my door and looked down the breezeway to the sea, I thought, WOW! What more could you want, the sea, beautiful beach, great pool area, and at night the stars. And if you want to explore you can easily go in any direction. You’ll find George Town, Rum Point, Pedro St. James, Mastic Trail, Mission House, Botanic Garden. It’s all good. I’ll try to keep the sound of the surf and the twinkle of the stars in my mind until I return.” G.S., Arlington Heights, Illinois, USA (September 23, 2008)
“What a delightful place! The setting is just beautiful. We loved the pool, the snorkeling right out the back door and the people! Such courtesy, such friendliness & such hosptality. We spent most of our time exploring local sites & meeting the ‘natives’, swimming at out of the way swimming holes, snorkeling at beaches where there was not another soul. What a beautiful island with warm & friendly people. Thanks for everything at TNI, a PERFECT place to stay. Thank you!” D.G.&L.S., Oak Island, North Carolina, USA (September 22, 2008)
“When we decided on a long weekend for our honeymoon, we had no idea how perfect this could be. We received a great package to stay at The Ritz. After scrolling through TripAdvisor.Com, we found the comments for Turtle Nest were more our speed. This has been an absolutely wonderful weekend & honeymoon. The hospitality is only matched by the beauty of TNI. I was unable to dive, but my husband went through Deep Blue Divers located at the Lobster Pot — he loved it. We snorkeled right off the beach here, and we are certain it can’t get any better. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! We will share this amazing place with only a few select friends. Warm regards…” M.C.&M.C., Charlotte, North Carolina, USA (September 22, 2008)
“I found TNI on Tripadvisor last year, but my husband insisted on Seven Mile Beach — he now admits I was right . It has been a grand 2 weeks and we are already planning for next time — it’s like coming home. Everyone, Marleine, Alain, Donna, Paulette made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We would suggest going to Roland’s Garden for dinner, it’s an experience not to be missed! 4-5 courses, literally served in his garden, no menu, and you pay what you think the meal is worth. No kidding! As for snorkeling: Why pay $100, get herded aboard a ship, jostled underwater (whilst the scared fish swim away), when you can just step outside TNI and see just as much? Twice a day, if you like! Oh — Chester’s down the street has very good jerk pork & chicken. We liked Hurley’s (supermarket) better than Foster’s for variety & choice. Eats & Chicken! Chicken! also good. We have more adventures planned for next time!” L.M.&H.M., Shepherdsville, Kentucky, USA (September 21, 2008)
“Turtle Nest Inn is a place I will definitely return to with great anticipation! From the moment we arrived, Ashley and I were amazed with not only the sunrise & hospitality, but also with the fact that we felt like we had found a bit of paradise right here on the south coast of Grand Cayman. Things to mention: Food: #1. Calypso Grill and Fisherman’s Reef Bar & Grill (West Bay). #2. Dirty Reids (in Bodden Town). Diving: #1 Deep Blue Divers (ask for Rick & Patrick, dive masters). Snorkeling: #1. walk straight out (from the Inn), put your mask on and witness the best on the island! Thanks for a wonderful vacation!! See you again soon.” S.R.&A.R., Atlanta, Georgia, USA (September 20, 2008)
“There could not possiblly be any better place to stay than Turtle Nest. It was the perfect spot to snorkel, rest and relax. I can’t wait to bring my boys back here. I would recommend this beatiful oasis to everyone I know. Thank you.” D.R., Excelsior, Minnesota, USA (September 19, 2008)
“Have had a great time. Grand Cayman & Turtle Nest Inn far exceeded our expectations. It was a bit of a last minute decision to come and we were lucky that there was a vacancy. The accommodation, hotel and staff have all been spot on. Hope to come back next year.” E.C.&M.E., Waterlooville, Hampshire, UK (September 17, 2008
“When I went online to choose the perfect place for my partner Kitra and I to spend our 10th anniversary way back in April, Turle Nest Inn was the second place I looked at. Something told me that this was the place, so I looked no further and booked our trip. We are so lucky I listened to that little voice! We have been to several places in the Caribbean and this is by far our favorite. Superb snorkeling, shell & seaglass collecting and moon gazing are but a few of the highlights that will bring us back here in the years to come. Marleine and Alain are so dear and so dedicated to providing their guests with a delightful and carefree retreat, it’s no wonder this little piece of paradise is booked solid year-round. Donna, Sonia & Paulette were wonderful. Blackie, Vitamine and Calalloo were a perfect compliment to the TNI family. Special thanks to Vitamine for her daily visits which helped fill the void left by missing our two kitties at home. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ‘Partir c’est mourir un peu’.

As always, we enjoyed the company of Blackie & Vitamine, such passionate pets.

What you see is what you get — beautiful!! Thank you so much for everything. Bodden Town is quaint & Grand Cayman a beautiful place. The best vacation ever!! We will miss it here very much, the week went by so fast. Give Blackie & the cats pats and scratches from us.” J.P.&B.P., Beasley, Texas, USA (August 2, 2008)
“I have never been more impressed with a place as I have with Turtle Nest Inn. From the moment we booked our stay we had great communication from the staff. When we arrived we were greeted by Donna who not only has a beautiful smile but was quick to offer help in carrying our luggage up the stairs. She was very helpful with all of our questions. If I lived on the island, I would work hard to make sure we were quickly good friends. She is a rare jewel for Turtle Nest Inn. Housekeeping was impeccable. They keep the rooms so clean, they’re very friendly. The owners have done a great job of picking their staff and thinking of every detail. The beach view is one of God’s wonders. We have been saving to go to Hawaii — but we plan on coming back instead. Our grand-daughter enjoyed all the attention. Thank you is not enough. Thanks.” E.L.&S.L., Phoenix, Arizona, USA (July 29, 2008)
“Honeymoon week one — crazy weather at first, but we got movies & games from Donna & Steven (who are fabulous!) That day and from then on out the weather was wonderful. Our room was perfect, we made dinner in a couple of nights. Each day the room was cleaned perfectly. Great place for an entire week! Donna & Steven gave us great recommended restaurants to try. We will definitely be back — next time with a little one (smile). This is the perfect place to stay next time with a baby! Thanks!” J.L.&S.L., Indianapolis, Indiana, USA (July 26, 2008)
“Donna and her staff were so wonderfully helpful with every detail that we requested.Donna was always so happy & cheerful! She provided excellent information regarding places to go & areas to jog!

Thank you to all the staff for being so wonderful and gracious.” S.F., Louisville, Colorado, USA (July 26, 2008)
“The first thing I was greeted with was a big smile from Donna. It set the tone for the entire stay, which was absolutly fantastic. I have never stayed at a place that was so accommodating. Thank you for a wonderful experience in the Cayman Islands.” J.H., Hatfield, Connecticut, USA (July 26, 2008)
“We enjoyed our stay at Turtle Nest Inn. The Inn & rental package is an exceptional value. I commend you for this terrific deal, considering the average prices for accomodations on Grand Cayman, you certainly could charge more. Yes, the staff is outsstanding! Donna is simply the best, period. Thanks for recommending the Lighthouse Restaurant, we were very pleased with our dinner. Our wedding & honeymoon at Turtle Nest exceeded our expectations. The use of swim equipment, books, movies & helpful advice all free of charge further distances Turtle Nest from the local competition. My only and I do mean only problem I had at Turtle Nest was leaving the parking lot. The bushes and trees block the view of oncoming traffic. I had a couple of close calls. Maybe a round mirror would help. Other than that everything at Turtle Nest was fantastic! I would highly recommend this inn! I again thank you and congratulations on having a beautiful and a top notch staff! Best regards.” K.T.&L,T., Ashdown, Arkansas, USA (July 26, 2008)
“What a delightful setting for a vacation, but beware! If you stay too long you may never want to leave! Thanks to all the staff for a memorable visit.” M.G.&D.G., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA (July 23, 2008)
“This has been an absolutely wonderful experience! As soon as we arrived we felt welcomed and excited to be here. The views and accomodation were impressive and thoroughly enjoyable, I couldn’t ask for a more friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely come back and will reccomend to friends, only after we book our rooms first! Thank you so much, great time even through tropical storm Dolly. See you next year!” C.H.&R.M., Exeter, United Kingdom (July 22,2008)
“Absolutely great, couldn’t find fault with anything. Better than our expectations, this was part of our honeymoon and a great start! Will recommend and will try to be back someday.” G.A.&A.A., Larne, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, UK (July 20, 2008)
“Six nights is not enough here…especially when diving during the day. Evenings here very enjoyable and no mosquitoes!!! Will be back.” W.A., Chaplin, South Carolina, USA (July 19, 2008)
“A very nice and quite stay. Like staying at a friendly home — clean, neat. A very open and nice local second home. Next time we need to stay longer. Snorkeling very good off the beach, lots of fish to see and swim with. Everything you said and more. Thanks.” S.M.&D.M., San Jose, California, USA (July 19, 2008)
“Is it time to leave already? We don’t want to go! Thank you Turtle Nest staff for making our 1st of many visits to Grand Cayman special. You really have thought of everything — beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers…Turtle Nest Inn is a little home away from home. My sister came here for her honeymoon, and it is just as she described!

Thank you Turtle Nest Inn for all your help. Thanks for informing us about the various places to go visit during our vacation.” Z.M.&A.M., Montebello, California, USA (July 16, 2008)
“Thank you again for another lovely visit (our 3rd); everything was wonderful. The room is beautiful and spotless. Everyone is so helpful and friendly.

“Great fun! Turtle Nest Inn was spectacular. Exactly what we wished for, plus more. Staff was great — will tell all I know (and TripAdviser). Loved the Caymans.

“Today is our 9th wedding anniversary and we couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful place to celebrate it. I don’t think I can say anything more than what others have said about this place. It felt like home the first time I stepped through the door. Hearing the roar of the ocean outside our apartment everyday was amazing. Thursday night dinner was absolutely wonderful!

“We had an amazing time! This is undoubtedly the place to stay on the island if you want the full island experience. Centrally located, we were minutes from Georgetown, Rum Point, the Blow Holes, the best meal we had on the island (at the Lighthouse Restaurant), Botanic Gardens, and so much more. We felt like we were truly part of the Caymanian culture walking on the beach & along the road. Your facility is fabulous! The beautiful scene of the water which took my breath away and every time I entered the lobby was a lovely welcome. The pool, kayaking, housekeeping, snorkeling — time you took to stop and check to see how we were doing & give suggestions, made the visit personal and memorable. We had never snorkeled before, the 100 yards to amazing snorkeling was incredible! Thank you for all the amenities and personal touches. We’ll be back!” D.D.&A.D., Houston, Texas, USA (June 21, 2008)

Marleine and Alain are wonderful hosts, warm, helpful and informative. Donna is sincere, charming and a true island beauty. Paulette is a smart, strong woman who knows what she wants. As anyone can see, my husband, Frank and I had a great time! It is a comfort to know we are welcome to come back, which we plan to do. Also before I forget, the property, snorkelling, food, car rental and island are like being in a dream. Everything was perfect here and an experience I will never forget. See you next year. Kiss the dog and cats for me. Your friends…” P.V.&F.V., Belleville, New Jersey, USA (June 18, 2008)

Hopefully, we will return soon, and thank you for such a memorable experience.” A.B.&J.B., Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA (June 16, 2008)
“I was thinking, it can’t be as good as Trip Advisor would lead us to believe! It is! I have to add my praise for a beautiful place away from the frantic crowds! I love it, and the snorkeling was some of the best I’ve ever done — lobster, flounder, queen parrotfish, huge snapper that followed us around. Great place! I’ll be dreaming about it!” T.K.&D.K., Dunwoody, Georgia, USA (June 15, 2008)
“The staff was so friendly and helpful! And it was great we didn’t have to bring our own beach towels and fins. We enjoyed the dog and cats. I was less homesick for mine.” S.M., Dallas, Texas, USA (June 14, 2008)
“Sandy and I were looking for a place on Grand Cayman to spent our 26th anniversary — Turtle Nest Inn was perfect! While checking the Internet, I was looking for an apartment-hotel or a rental unit where we would have a kitchen and be away from crowds. Our unit had everything we needed, all week. The rental car was perfect for touring. The snorkeling in front is fantastic — I have photos of the Reef King — a 4′ barracuda, glad he was curious not hungry. He followed us like a dog. We look forward to our next trip to Grand Cayman and will definitely stay at Turtle Nest Inn.” D.M.&S.M., Dallas, Texas, USA (June 14, 2008)
“We found this place through TripAdvisor.com and chose to stay here because it was rated #1 — we fully agree! Everyone has been so helpful & sweet. We will definitely be back. We loved walking Blackie & cuddling with Vitamine. Thank you for sharing them with us! When we get home we will write a great review on TripAdvisor.

“The snokeling was great, the two large greyfish followed us everywhere. Our daughter spent almost as much time underwater in the pool as she did above the water for the whole trip. Swimming at Rum Point was very kid-friendly and the seabass at the Lighthouse made for a fabulous dinner. All in all, I hope we’ll be back soon and stay twice as long.” R.N.,L.N.&L.N., Washingston, DC, USA (June 12, 2008)
“How sad to leave, we loved it all — the snorkeling in front of the Inn was wonderful, just be patient! Each time we went out we would see something different. The Inn was the best! Wonderful people and oh, so quiet! They had thought of everything we could possibly need. An exceptional vacation spot!” J.F.&N.F., Oak Island, North Corolina, USA (June 11, 2008)

“I miss our apartment already (leaving tomorrow)! Everyone at Turtle Nest Inn has been helpful, charming, knowledgeable and kind. The Inn is impeccably appointed, flawlessly kept and breathtakingly beautiful. There are so many photo perfect images that we will carry with us for those ‘real-life’ moments whin we need a peaceful place to go in our hearts and minds. I turned 54 while at the Inn and while I doubt I will ever have a more memorable birthday, the most important part of the visit for me is that in those 54 years, nearly all my ‘holidays or vacations’ were to visit family members. While I cherish those visits, they are not the same as a vacation. This time and this place have been healing, uplifting and precious to both of us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for creating and keeping such an enchanting and special place.” R.H.&S.H., Cadiz, Kentucky, USA (June 9, 2008)
“I am so happy with my choice to spend my birthday with you guys! The relaxation and solitude were just what I wanted and needed. Everyone was so nice. Thanks Marleine for your dinner recommendations, they were perfect. I will be back to Apt. #3. Until then…” M.B., Los Angeles, California, USA (June 7, 2008)
“Just what we needed! A quiet jewel on the coast filled with friendly people (& animals). Such a nice change from the crowds of the large resorts. We can’t wait to come back!’ M.D.&D.D., Charlotteville, Virgina, USA (June 7, 2008)
“We’ve had the best time at Turtle Nest Inn. The room was lovely and the lacation superb. We had the best snorkeling on the Island right here.

Thanks for everything.” L.W.&D.W., Brick, New Jersey, USA (June 6, 2008)

We were welcomed with a very pleasant orientation of the hotel and a refreshing drink/cocktail — our wonderful Turtle Nest experience had begun! The beautiful ocean view from our Apt 6 was simply spectacular — even better than we expected from the website photos. Service at the front desk was always with a smile and the housekeeping staff were superb, always making sure our room was tidy and spotless. The dinner on Thursday exceeded all expectations — absolutely delicious — our compliments to the chef (and to the server who waited on us!!).

We thought this transition day would be a day we would look forward to, but we are leaving a little sad. We are sure The Ritz will be spectacular, but this has become home.

“Absolutely delightful! Staying in Apt. 6 was a dream come true. I loved hearing the continual roar of the ocean all night long. I hope my camera has captured the beautiful colors of the water. Staying here at Turtle Nest Inn was the most restful vacation I’ve ever had. The snorkeling was incredible! Alain and Marleine are truly gracious hosts. Be sure to attend the Thursday evening dinner on the terrace. I could go on and on, but I want to leave room for others to write. One more thing…the pillows were perfect. I look forward to my next visit.” L.B., Haverhill, Massachusetts, USA (April 26, 2008)

A perfect place to relax, snorkel, swim in the pool and ‘work’ on your tan. The apartments are spacious, quiet and spotlessly clean. My niece and I enjoyed the terrace dinner on Thursday night — fun meeting other travelers and visiting with the Inn’s owners Marleine and Alain. It’s my third visit to Cayman and could not imagine staying anywhere else! Thank you for yet another wonderful time at Turtle Nest.” K.M., Hartford, Connecticut, USA (April 19, 2008)

My husband did a great job adapting to the driving. Over the Edge, Grand Old House, Lighthouse and Cracked Conch all had delicious food. Snorkeling was great. We really needed this break in our crazy lives (winter weather), and couldn’t have picked a better place to enjoy it. Martha — a special ‘thank you’ to you.

“Where do I begin? This has been one of the best vacations I have ever been on, and that is due in a large part to Turtle Nest Inn. From the moment we arrived, the warm hospitality made Grand Cayman feel like a home away from home. The apartment is so cozy, bright and inviting. The beach is rocky, but the snorkeling is great — even the local barracuda were friendly. The location is great — we toured around the whole island. We really enjoyed the terrace dinner — delicious!! The coconut candy at the front desk was a treat as well. The best part of Turtle Nest Inn though? It’s Martha’s smile every morning. She is a delight to talk to and her laugh brightens your day. Marleine and Alain, thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality!! I will recommend TNI to anyone and everyone! We hope to return one day. And Martha, you remember our deal! Best wishes to you and your staff always. May we meet again!” M.S.&M.S., Cockeysville, Maryland, USA (March 25, 2008)

“Dear Marleine and Alain: Thank you so much for an absolutely amazing family vacation! We chose to visit Grand Cayman only because the reviews on TripAdvisor.com were glowing about Turtle Nest Inn. Your spectacular dinner on the terrace was the best that we had all week! You and your staff couldn’t have been more warm, gracious, and helpful. We loved our unit with it’s private deck, and being able to dine outside overlooking the pool and the beach. Our kids loved being able to play on the beach and in the pool, and to come and go on their own. Our wonderful experience definitely exceeded our expectations! We hope to see all of you again on our next vacation.” K.C.&J.C., Chicago, Illinois, USA (March 22, 2008)
“Dana-Doo: The view was amazing! You could see almost everything from our balcony. We played in the pool almost everyday! Thank you so much, it was wonderful! Many thanks!” D.C., Chicago, Illinois, USA (March 22, 2008)
“Paulito the Bandito: The view was great, the water crystal clear, and the food spectacular. Dana and I also made a small fort which turned out better than I thought. The snorkeling was amazing also. Grand Cayman Rocks!!!” P.C., Chicago, Illinois, USA (March 22, 2008)
“We are leaving after a week’s stay at TNI. We were pleasantly surprised at the accommodations, which exceeded our expectations! We loved the location which was peaceful and tranquil. The car was an added bonus and allowed us to explore the island. We found the view from the Inn to the ocean spectacular and hope to have captured it on film. The staff was the best we’ve experienced! It was a great family vacation!” W.W.,T.W.&J.W., Cleveland, Ohio, USA (March 22, 2008)
“The perfect place to get the stomach flu! (Really). We thought the accommodations were clean and spacious, and we appreciated the irony of the rooster painting on the wall!

Everyone we met and spoke with was charming and helpful (thanks again to Marleine, Alain, Martha, Sonia and Paulette). The Inn and grounds were elegant and private. The beach is beautiful and the snorkeling is great! Convenient services very close (the restaurant 4-5 houses down has tasty food). Yummy birthday cake! All in all, it couldn’t have been more perfect — you’re the best!” B.A.&T.A., Seattle, Washington, USA (March 8, 2008)

Thanks for everything!” D.G.&R.G., Portland, Oregon, USA (March 8, 2008)

“Three sisters on our first vacation ever. Superb service. Wonderful snorkeling right out front (big and little fishes in schools and individually)! Every special request, or ignorant question, was answered with a smile. Only disappointment — nearby restaurant was closed the night we planned to eat there (Sea Side Paradise). Thank you for all of your emails help in advance, your in-person assistance during our stay and the hope that we can return one day. To Marleine, Alain, Martha, Sonia and all the staff — Thank you.” C.M.,R.C&K.S., Westport, Connecticut, USA (March 2, 2008)
“TNI — what a great place! Miss Martha, you are absolutely the best! You will go far in this world!!!! Marleine and Alain, your hospitality is undeniable. You have made everything worth the 7+ hours to get here to your beautiful Island. And Vitamine, she made leaving our family of cats and dogs back home a little bit easier. Paulette and Sonia, such beautiful and clean rooms! If you ever want to come to the States, you can come way up North and keep our house clean while you visit!! Just kidding with you two, but your cleaning skills are to be commended! They are great. Thank you. Thanks to everyone. And if it ever gets too hot down here in Cayman for you…Head to the states, jump onto I-75 North and travel it until it stops on the Ontario, Canadian border. That would be Sault (pronounced Sue) Sainte Marie, Michigan, USA. God Bless all of you!” B.R.,J.R&M.R., Sault Ste Marie, Michigan, USA (March 2, 2008)

“Our third year here for our month-‘short’ stay and the rhythm of Turtle Nest Inn remains both tranquilizing and vibrant. When lots of folks arrive on the same day, poolside is similar to a Gauguin still life as guests repose, exhausted from their journeys and seeking the restorative massage of the breeze and soothing sound of the sea crashing over the nearby reef. By the next morning, guests have shed their wrist watches along with their stress. By the next day we’ve all (10 or 12 of us) become first name friends. Such is our wondrous experience. We’ve booked for 2009 and you should too! Fondly…” S.J.&T.J., Lexington Park, Maryland, USA (March 1, 2008)
“This was our fourth stay at Turtle Nest Inn. We absolutely love this place and have already booked our stay for next year. Thank you for a great stay and a wonderful Inn. We’ll see you all next year.” S.S.&R.S., Millington, Tennessee, USA (February 27, 2008)

“Thank you very much for an absolutely lovely time. We could not have asked for nicer hosts or accommodations. We loved our apartment from the moment we stepped in the door and it really felt like home away from home. We had an exceptional time at the Thursday night dinner and recommend other guests to partake in the weekly affair. We are sad to see Turtle Nest Inn and Grand Cayman go, but certainly look forward to returning!” L.P.&J.P., Rochester, New York, USA (February 23, 2008)

We are all tanned and relaxed. Lobsters the size of small dogs, stingrays, eels, parrot fish, cats and dogs. Alain and Marleine, you made us feel at home here, Martha you made our days bright with a smile.
