    Farewell notes from our Guest Register
    July 2009

    • "Turtle Nest is the first self catering holiday accommodation we've stayed in -- in over 30 years of marriage -- and we are totally converted!  Turtle Nest Inn is bright, fresh, clean and perfectly situated on the beach in Bodden Town which itself reflects perfectly the real Cayman.  The Mission House is not to be missed for its charming portrayal of Cayman life in the 18th and 19th centuries.  Denise was a most enthusiastic and captivating guide!  Thank you so much to the warm, welcoming and helpful staff at Turtle Nest Inn for making our stay here such a delight.  Bodden Town is the place to be and Turtle Nest is the place to stay for a genuine and exhilarating experience of Grand Cayman.  Brilliant! P.S. We forgot to mention the pets!  We just loved Vitamine ." A.M.&M.M., Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, UK (July 30, 2009)

    • "We had an excellent stay.  Perfect location and accommodation.  We really enjoyed the pool and the sea.  Hope to be back in the future!" G.H.&S.H., Alderley Edge, Cheshire, UK (July 29, 2009)

    • "An outstanding honeymoon, made all the better by outstanding hospitality.  A special thanks to John for all his help.  Perfectly situated in Bodden Town.  The car was handy for getting to George Town but the buses are infinitely more fun.  If you guys are ever in St. Andrews in Scotland, you can stay at my hotel.  Can't guarantee the weather will be as nice though!"

N.B.&D.B., Madison, Wisconsin, USA (July 26, 2009)

    • "Turtle Nest Inn is the best introduction to the Caymans!  Midway between urban Seven Mile Beach and the wild side.  We truly enjoyed the pristine pool, very helpful staff, walks in Bodden Town and much more!  Plus, of course, wall diving.  Many thanks." B.W.&P.D., Ithaca, New York, USA (July 25, 2009)

C.R.&A.R., Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, USA (July 2, 2009)

    • "We finally were successful in our vacation efforts to visit Grand Cayman and best of all, Turtle Nest Inn!  My family had a wonderful rest and lots of fun activities with Fat Fish Adventures tour of Stingray City on jet skis and jet boat!  Peter and Carolyn (the owners) were amazing.  A true lifetime of memories snorkeling with the stingrays and kisses from Stubby!  Rum Point was a fun snorkel and a great day with a 6ft barracuda and more fish and rays in a protected swim area and great smoothies.  We loved our tour of Bodden Town and Skate Park, the Black Pearl, the blow holes, East End sights and swimming Seven Mile Beach.  We also enjoyed Turtle Farm, the dolphins and the craft market in Georgetown.  But best of all was returning with Rankins Jerk Chicken and our 'home' at Turtle Nest Inn at the end of each special day.  The highlight of our stay was very simply at Turtle Nest Inn.  We loved the rental car included in the rate and Avis/Cico folks were so nice to us!  Everyone, including Blackie, Vitamine, Calaloo and Beatrice welcomed us and gave us such joy!  Thanks so much again for a vacation that we will always remember at the beautiful, happy Turtle Nest Inn!  Thank you very much for the beautiful stay.  Thanks from your friends, and all the best."
