Farewell notes from our Guest Register
October 2008
  • "We have had a wonderful time at TNI. The staff have been terrific, attentive and very helpful. Snorkelling out front was the best. I saw more right out front than I did diving in Red Bay. 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)

  • "We had such a wonderful time after all the busyness of a wedding, this was exactly what we had expected and even better! Thank you for making our first stay in Cayman an excellent experience and an unforgettable honeymoon. Thanks!" M.W.&J.W., Lincolnton, North Carolina, USA (October 27, 2008)

  • "Thank you so much for everything, we had a great time. The view was great, you were all so helpful. We really don't want to leave. Thanks for everything. We also will miss our visits from the cats. We hope to come back soon." Z.B.&C.B., Lynchburg, Virginia, USA (October 28, 2008)

  • "We chose TNI for our honeymoon because of the great reviews on TripAdvisor and we were not disappointed! Although we had quite a few rainy days, we had a lovely time. The snorkeling in front of the Inn was awesome, as was the lounging around the pool. Marleine and Donna were so helpful with directions and information. We had a wonderful honeymoon and will definitely return to TNI in the future. P.S: We loved all the visits from the cats!" E.K.&K.K., Stow, Massachusetts, USA (October 25, 2008)

  • "We love it here, we are definitely coming back!! We do not want to go home!! We had a wonderful honeymoon we will never forget!! Thank you  for such wonderful service, and everyone is so nice! Love..." K.A.&D.A., Detroit, Michigan, USA (October 23, 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)

  • "We had a fantastic time. It is so peaceful on this side of the island. Donna was so much help! Although we have a long list of other trips already, we will be sure to stay here when our travels bring us back to Grand Cayman! Thank you so much for your hospitality! 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! Donna and the staff are especially friendly and accommodating, and I enjoyed the early a.m. balcony visits by the feline community!  The apt was clean and comfortable and our ocean view was fantastic. 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! P.S: We loved all the cats & dog, thanks for supporting the local Humane Society!" K.B.&C.B., Raleigh, North Carolina, USA (October 18, 2008)

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)
