Farewell notes from our Guest Register
July 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! Little details were never overlooked. I would highly recommend a two week stay. I will be back with my family soon. 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)
