    Farewell notes from our Guest Register
    March 2009

    • "The best time I have ever had!  The Inn, the people -- the best!  The most diverse display of aquatic life available right out the back door.  I will be back." M.W., Charleston, South Carolina, USA (March 30, 2009)

    • "We had a fabulous stay at Turtle Nest Inn.  The snorkeling was great right out front!  We were pleasantly surprised.  Everyone here is great!  Donna, John, Marleine and Alain.  We are planning a stay for 2010." B.O., Charleston, South Carolina, USA (March 30, 2009)

    • "We could not have asked for more for our honeymoon and first week of marriage.  The location and service were excellent and the room was perfect!  We'll definitely be back for our anniversary." R.H.&M.H., Houston, Texas, USA (March 29, 2009)

    • "We had a lovely stay at Turtle Nest Inn!  The staff is wonderful and the room was beautiful and so clean!  If we return to Grand Cayman we will definitely stay here again!" S.S.&J.S., Fort Branch, Indiana, USA (March 28, 2009)

    • "Our stay here at Turtle Nest Inn was excellent.  The room was just the right size and the beach was beautiful.  Thank you for the wonderful atmosphere." R.K.&N.L., Kent, Ohio, USA (March 28, 2009)

    • "Once again, Turtle Nest Inn proved it was an amazing place to stay.  Kelly and I were married on Wednesday, March 25th and they basically gave us the run of the entire Inn.  All of their suggestions were perfect from the setup to the flowers, to the food, drinks and music, until the very end. Everyone did their part to ensure we were completely satisfied.  Kelly and I couldn't have asked for a more memorable and amazing experience.  And of course we ventured across the island from Georgetown to Seven Mile Beach and to Rum Point.  The sites and the weather were fantastic and I can't forget the staff at the Turtle Nest Inn that completely bend over backwards to ensure your happiness.  And last but not least, Vitamine and the rest of the animals at the Inn makes it feel like home.  So from Kelly and Evan, We'd like to say thank you so much for making our wedding stay perfect." E.K.&K.K., New York City, New York, USA (March 28, 2009)

    • "Thanks for all of the attention and personal service!  We've had a very relaxing ten day stay here at Turtle Nest Inn.  Our apartment was very well equipped and since we eat-in a lot that made our stay a lot easier.  We toured the Queen Elizabeth Botanic Garden and thought it was quite well done.  Went to Stingray City with Captain Dexter on a quiet day with no cruise ships and it was great!  Enjoyed the daily visits by Vitamine the cat." M.M.&S.M., Ostrander, Ohio, USA (March 27, 2009)

    • "More caring, more fun and better organized than Faulty Towers.  We had a grand time!!!" R.I., Guelph, Ontario, Canada (March 27, 2009)

    • "Thank you so much for everything!  This is the most comfortable and relaxing vacation ever.  All the comforts of home, service of a hotel, and surroundings of paradise!  Couldn't ask for anything more.  Thanks again." D.I., Guelph, Ontario, Canada  (March 27, 2009)

    • "I like the people here and the animals,  the pool and friends, and the beach.  I like snorkeling and Smith's Cove and the country. P.S. it is nice to know you (comments from a nine year old)." N.I., Guelph, Ontario, Canada,  (March 27, 2009)

    • "Thank you for a lovely stay -- our only wish -- that it was longer!" R.W.&D.W., New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, Canada  (March 26, 2009)

    • "Page and I have had a wonderful time at Turtle Nest Inn.  We loved having an authentic Caymanian experience in Bodden Town.  Donna, John, Marleine and Alain have been so accommodating and gracious.  The pool was refreshing and the snorkeling was so much fun.  Having a car was an added convenience.  Thanks so much for all you did.  Have a great year and we will definitely be back." P.B.&L.B., Williamsburg, Virginia, USA (March 24, 2009)

    • "We're here celebrating our five year anniversary -- got married at Smith's Cove.  But this is our first stay at Turtle Nest Inn and we feel so lucky to have found it.  We loved snorkeling out back and sleeping to the rhythm of the waves.  This place is just what we needed -- peaceful and accommodating.  Now we can (grudgingly) head home with pictures of blue waters to tide us over...until next time when we hope to stay here again.  Maybe next time hopefully we can convince some friends to join us." T.M.&K.M., Lawrence, Kansas, USA (March 21, 2009)

A.D.&G.N., Tampa, Florida, USA (March 21, 2009)

L.W.&G.W., Austin, Texas, USA (March 15, 2009)

    • "Our first time on the island at the recommendation of my co-worker (thank you Bonnie!)  We had a fantastic time and would recommend Capt. Herman (fishing) and Capt. Marvin (Stingray City/snorkeling) and the invaluable information provided by the Turtle Nest staff.  Our absolute 'must do' is the beautiful Caribbean sunsets from the deck of My Bar at the Sunset House (red chowder -- not white!)  Beautiful and relaxing -- exactly what we wanted!!  P.S.  If Vitamine is missing, check my carry on luggage." K.K.&S.K., Egan, Minnesota, USA (March 15, 2009)

    • "Our stay on the island was incredible!! Lots to do and see every day.  How do we squeeze it into 2 weeks??  The Inn is perfectly situated for exploring the island.  The Inn and staff are first rate.  The reef out in front of the Inn is as good a shallow water snorkelling location as anywhere else on the island -- and we snorkeled a lot." P.B.&B.S., Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada (March 8, 2009)

    • "We had fun at the Cayman Islands!  Turtle Nest Inn was a wonderful place.  The weather, the sun, the ocean, the trees, all very pretty.  Snorkeling was a daily activity here or at other beaches.  We had a great stay, thanks for the hospitality.  Enjoy!" M.L.&H.L., Holland, Michigan, USA (March 4, 2009)

    • "Thanks to you all for a great stay here at Turtle Nest Inn.  A long flight from England has been more than worthwhile.  We have felt so 'at home' and relaxed here -- wish we had longer with you.  I have borrowed a book from your collection and hope to return it in person -- the same time next year!!  Hopefully, also with more family members.  This holiday has been all we hoped for and more."

    • "This was our first time visiting the Cayman Islands, and we really couldn't have chosen a better place to stay.  We loved the room, the beds, the convenient kitchenette, and especially the BBQ grill!  The snorkeling right out here on the beach was convenient and very nice! Merci beaucoup pour une semaine de vacances magnifique. (Thank you for a magnificent one-week vacation)." M.K., Boston, Massachusetts, USA (February 22, 2009)

    • "Our first visit to the Caribbean -- and we couldn't have made a better choice than TNI.  Everyone was incredibly cordial and took care of all our needs from restaurant recommendations to umbrellas, chairs etc., for the beach and little extras.  We hate to leave of course, but our time here was wonderful!!  P.S. We loved apartment 3." S.B.&B.B., Rockport, Massachusetts, USA (February 15, 2009)

    • "Thank you Turtle Nest Inn for a wonderful two week vacation on Grand Cayman.  Because we had friends living on 7 mile beach for the whole two weeks and we spent everyday visiting them or diving with Red Sail Sports out of the Westin we really didn't take full advantage of all the great facilities here at the Inn.  But from the moment we first contacted you online until checkout, every interaction with the hotel and it's wonderful staff was pleasant and easy.  We were especially grateful for the excellent restaurant recommendations and your help in making reservations (great breakfast at Over the Edge and memorable dinners at the Lighthouse).  Also for your assistance in our mid-stay room move.  Everyone was warm, helpful and welcoming but our vote  for favorite Turtle Nest Inn staffer goes to our little furry friend Vitamine!!!  Many thanks and Best Wishes." B.M.&E.M., Airdrie, Alberta, Canada (February 15, 2009)

    • "Dear TurtleNest...I have traveled the world and yet, this the only place where serenity meets the sea!  The ambience and friendly atmosphere is unparalleled!  I will come back every year to rediscover what life should be all about....Love Always." M.R.&D.R., Washington, DC, USA (February 15, 2009)

    • "Our children think we are a bit boring by returning to the same place 8 times, but when we think about all we want in a winter vacation place -- it's  all right here at Turtle Nest Inn.  On top of that there are countless small touches that we always appreciate.  We appreciate the quiet attentiveness of the staff, the comfort of the apartments...but most of all the endless ever surprising beauty of the reef out front.  Many thanks" B.P.&R.P., Apex, North Carolina, USA (February 13, 2009)

    • "I had the best sleep in years here at Turtle Nest Inn! Wonderful, clean accommodations. Everyone had wonderful suggestions for daily activities on the island.

    • "This place is 'coming home' comfortable. It is small enough to feel like the owners & other guests are just friends. The rooms look like no one else has been in them before you. WOW is all I can say about this place." J.M.&G.M., Boyds, Maryland, USA (February 8, 2009)

    • "We had a fabulous time! The accommodations, weather, house pets, owners, and overall hospitality made our vacation great. We will certainly recommend Turtle Nest Inn and the island to friends & family. Thank you." W.S.&S.S., Mount Airy, Maryland, USA (February 8, 2009)

    • "This vacation far exceeded our expectations and believe me, the anticipation was very high! Truly a 2nd honeymoon, appreciated all the more because of our six (6) children, 12 years and under, back home having fun with cousins so we could be lovers & sunbathers -- the couple we started as -- to rejuvenate us for the parenting of teens just ahead! Your sweet pets, impeccable service, quiet & peaceful views, magical snorkeling, perfect advice for restaurants, and attention to amenities & details made this a paradise of our dreams. Thank you!!" A.G.&H.G., Utica, New York, USA (February 7, 2009)

    • "There are perhaps not enough superlatives to adequately describe how much we love being at Turtle Nest Inn. The snorkeling was fantastic, the inn staff friendly, helpful and genuinely concerned that we are satisfied. The ocean-facing apartment is ideal. Loved being near Meagre Pond, Mastic Trail and The Botanic Garden! It's our second visit and I hope there will be many more." B.E.&M.E., Quechee, Vermont, USA (February 4, 2009)
