“Great times like always. Thanks for everything.” P.M., Emporia, Kansas, USA (December 28, 2005)
“It is now since the opening of this hotel many years ago, that I have come back and stayed with the great hosts Marleine and Alain at least once a year; now that I am retired it is more typical twice a year. The intimacy of this small but excellent hotel away from Seven Mile Beach makes it a very personal vacation, a secret gem!” P.B., Charlotte, North Carolina, USA (December 25, 2005)
“Thank you for welcoming us to your delightful inn. We had a restful vacation which is just what we had in mind. Vitamine & Blackie completed the package for us. We hope to return to explore the island further.” K.P.&H.P., Atlanta, Georgia, USA (December 23, 2005)
“The Best Vacation Ever! Turtle Nest Inn is a home away from home in paradise & we will definitely be back! Loved every minute of your hospitality including the wonderful pets.” N.W.&R.W., Wichita, Kansas, USA (December 21, 2005)
“I had a wonderful time — a great place to stay, & we will be back! This was the best vacation I have had in years! Thank you so very much for everything. Call us if you are ever in Atlanta! Goodbye to Vitamine & Blackie, too!” C.M.&D.M., Atlanta, Georgia, USA (December 21, 2005)

“Marleine & Alain: Thanks for a delightful stay. We also enjoyed staying at the (Sea Spray) Cottage. This is our best vacation before the arrival of our first child and we will look back fondly on it (especially all the sleep we got). Thanks…” M.M.&L.M., Washington, D.C., USA (December 19, 2005)
“Marleine & Alain: This was our first stopover on Grand Cayman after 3 fabulous diving trips on Little Cayman — and a great intro to the ‘Big Island’ it was! Thanks so much for everything. We recommend the gorgeous Botanic Park, drive around the East End, and dinner at The Lighthouse. Oh — and snorkelling right out front on your reef was fantastic! We hope to see you again!” C.M.&D.J., Lebanon, New Hampshire, USA (December 18, 2005)
“Marleine & Alain: What more can we say but thank you so much!! You and your staff really know how to take care of guests. We really appreciate the wonderful resort in which to vacation. We hope to return soon!” M.T.&S.P., Charlotte, North Carolina, USA (December 17, 2005)
“Marleine & Alain: We couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful place to vacation! The accommodations were wonderful, your staff took better care of us than we do ourselves, and we can’t thank you enough for your warm hospitality & kind assistance. We’re terribly sad to go & will miss the relaxing evenings on the terrace & the lovely company of Vitamine, Beatrice (the cats), and Blackie (the dog). Thanks again & we hope to be back soon.” C.F.&E.F., Rural Hall, North Carolina, USA (December 17, 2005)
“Marleine & Alain: What a lovely place! The Fodor’s plaque on the office wall does not do TNI justice. It fails to mention the special beach/reef, the ‘laid-back’ atmosphere, the friendly staff and, most importantly, the warmth of our hosts. From the welcoming glass of wine to Roland’s Garden, we had a BLAST!” D.P.&M.P., Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA (December 17, 2005)
“Just as wonderful the second time around!! What a joy sharing paradise with our entire family, including our 19-month old son who loved Turtle Nest as much as we do. The perfect vacation, once again. We’ll see you soon!” D.P.,M.P.&S.P., Summerfield, North Carolina, USA (December 17, 2005)
“What a perfect vacation from all perspectives. The beauty & tranquility of the island and the Caribbean are the obvious. But the comfortable ambience of Turtle Nest Inn brings out the best of the natural beauty of the locale. ‘Simple elegance’ is how it is described — and that is true. Of course the ‘human touch’ provided by Marleine & Alain bring that simple elegance to life — their style & sensibility permeate the Inn & help make this a vacation in paradise!” R.M., New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA (December 16, 2005)
“Turtle Nest Inn is up and running, providing wonderful hospitality. Congratulations to such amazing progress after Ivan — not only here, but to all the Cayman people. Snorkelling is still wonderful. This is a perfect time of year for a vacation here. Thanks for everything.” N.R.&D.R., San Diego, California, USA (December 14, 2005)
“We had a wonderful visit on Grand Cayman and loved Turtle Nest Inn — again. The snorkeling off the beach was the best. And everyone you recommended was terrific — the stingrays with Captain Dexter & scuba diving at Ocean Frontiers. Thanks for everything. We will be back. We really appreciated your hospitality.” G.J.&L.E., Dallas, Texas, USA (December 12, 2005)
“This is our third visit in four years and each one has been excellent. The service & accommodations here are without equal. Our apartment was spotless throughout! We even sent our daughter & son-in-law here for their honeymoon. Rest assured we will be back. As guests before & after Ivan, we have been fascinated to watch the island recover & prosper again. This is heaven here for us.” T.H., Athens, Georgia, USA (December 10, 2005)
“Lovely stay. Animals always so nice to have around. The hospitality was fantastic — really appreciate the little extras in the room. Hope the recovery along the beach continues to go well. Thanks!” J.M.&M.S., Chicago, Illinois, USA (December 10, 2005)
“Our stay here at Turtle Nest Inn was very scenic, relaxing and fun as well. Thank you so much for the 10 days we stayed here, it was terrific. Dominique and Katie loved playing with the animals as much as snorkeling in the sea. Thank you so much and we hope to see you again.” P.F.,J.F.,D.F.&K.F., Tampa, Florida, USA (December 10, 2005)

“What a perfectly lovely place. Just goes to show that doing our honework paid off in finding just the right place. We enjoyed all the animals, but especially the ‘in-room’ visits with Vitamine. Thanks for a great vacation. We’ll certainly return!” R.S.&D.S., Bowie, Maryland, USA (December 9, 2005)
“Our stay at the Cottage and here at Turtle Nest have been a most relaxing experience. In particular your friendliness, help and hospitality have been warmly appreciated. It is easy to see why you have return visit customers. Whilst the effects of Hurricane Ivan are clear to see, the tranquility of the island surroundings provide a very pleasant atmosphere for a tremendous holiday. We hope to return to your island in the not too distant future and wish you both well. Excellent accommodation facilities. Apartment 5 was spacious & relaxing.” R.M.&L.M., Surrey, England, UK (December 7, 2005)
“Marleine & Alain: Groceries — $40.00; rum and Stingray beer — $30.00; 4 dives, 2 books, and relaxation undisturbed by cell phones, e-mail or pagers — priceless. Thanks so much!” J.W.&T.W., Atlanta, Georgia, USA (December 5, 2005)
“Marleine & Alain: This was the best place we can imagine to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. The beach, the terrace dinner, the sun…everything was wonderful. We hope we can come back!” J.W.&K.W., State College, Pennsylvania, USA (December 4, 2005)
“Our 4th wonderful stay at Turtle Nest Inn! We’re so glad that Turtle Nest Inn weathered the hurricane so well and that Alain & Marleine & family are well. We continue to give Turtle Nest Inn our highest recommendation & look forward eagerly to visit #5!” J.K.&K.T., Alexandria, Virginia, USA (December 4, 2005)
“Our annual trip to Turtle Nest Inn has become a necessity for us — total relaxation and escape from the daily grind are found here. Alain & Marleine’s high standards never waiver. This trip’s terrace dinner was superb! As has always been the case, our accommodations were wonderful, our hosts warm, welcoming & very gracious. We will be counting the days until we return.” R.F.&B.F., Winthrop, Massachusetts, USA (December 3, 2005)
“Alain & Marleine: Thank you so much for sharing your little slice of Heaven with us! I’m afraid we’ve been spoiled rotten on our first overseas trip! You are talented and gracious hosts. Doreen and Sonia — I wish you could come home with us! Vitamine — good job keeping the neighborhood dogs at bay! We will spread the word about TNI, and we’ll treasure these memories for years to come!” R.O.&J.O., Jenison, Michigan, USA (December 3, 2005)
“First trip to the island — beautiful, tranquil, total relaxation — just what we needed! Weather was gorgeous, as was the hospitality. All love…” M.Y.&M.Y., London, England, UK (December 2, 2005)
“Even better than what we had expected. Great views from apartments & even greater views in the water. No need to venture out when you have such an awesome underwater garden just a few steps away!” Y.T.&J.V., New York, New York, USA (December 1, 2005)
“Super nice, simple & quiet. Enjoyed the serenity of the place & friendliness of the owners. You can’t beat it!” O.M., Portland, Oregon, USA (November 29, 2005)
“Once again everything was impeccable. Driving around we were sad to see how much devastation Ivan did to your beautiful island. Once I looked through the “Paradise Interrupted” book and learned how much devastation there truly was, I was impressed by how far this little island has come in 15 months. Thank you for everything you did to make our vacation so wonderful. The terrace dinner was great. The snorkeling was great. And of course you and your staff made our 12 days here very relaxing.” S.B.&V.K., Newark, Ohio, USA (November 29, 2005)
“Thank you, thank you! We can’t express how wonderful our trip was, and a lot of it has to do with the amazing stay here. The apartment was spotless and beautiful, as were the grounds, the view — outstanding. We didn’t feel like tourists; we felt like guests and we haven’t enjoyed that warmth on other trips. Vitamine also helped the only bad part of being away — missing Soda and Miss Pickles (our cats)! Thanks again for absolutely everything!” A.S.&B.S., North Bellmore, New York, USA (November 27, 2005)
“What a relaxing and hospitable vacation! As our five-year old daughter said, ‘we should come here every year for Thanksgiving!'” L.M.,S.M.&A.M., Kennesaw, Georgia, USA (November 27, 2005)
“Dear Alain & Marleine: Our second visit and we had as wonderful a time as in 2002! The dinner Thursday was delicious. It was sad to see how much of the island was damaged by Hurricane Ivan, but your warm hospitality remains along with the peace and restfulness of getting away from it all to enjoy the sun and the beautiful Caribbean waters. We’ll be back!” S.C.&B.C., Fairfax, Virginia, USA (November 26, 2005)
“Dear Alain & Marleine: Thank you! We had a wonderful time. The apartment and view were beautiful. The terrace dinner was fabulous.

“We’ve had a wonderful vacation on Grand Cayman — our first trip, to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We have lots of adventures to share with our family and friends! We hope to bring our kids back with us — they’d love it too. Thank you for recommending the bus for a great way to shop George Town without driving and parking. Vitamine was so delightful — we enjoyed her company. Turtle Nest Inn is very clean, friendly, beautiful and, WE’LL BE BACK!!! Thank you so very much. P.S. The Butterfly Farm was wonderful, larger than any we’ve been to.” R.H.&K.H., Traverse City, Michigan, USA (November 10, 2005)

Being our third visit at the inn, it’s always good to see Marleine and Alain. We want to thank you for inviting us to go with you to see the Barefoot Man perform. P.S. It’s hard to imagine that the inn could be made better than it was before (Hurricane) Ivan, but it is.” P.D.&K.D., Canton, Ohio, USA (November 6, 2005)

Cheers. P.S. Ivan, Wilma, Alpha, Beta be damned. We had a great time on Cayman!” B.A.&P.A., Buford, Georgia, USA (October 31, 2005)

You made us feel so at home. If we ever come back we will absolutely stay here. Thank you for providing everything you did. Your pool was always helpful when we were hot. Your beach was amazing. You can’t find another one like it. I personally think your idea of putting the conch shells around the pool edge was very clever. It makes me want to do that too.” C.H., Palatine, Illinois, USA (October 29, 2005)
“Marleine et Alain, you have thought of absolutely everything!! We are so very pleased we found Turtle Nest Inn, and wouldn’t dream of staying anywhere else on Grand Cayman. The West/East Indian Terrace Dinner was incredibly delicious – thoroughly enjoy it, all three of us (and Claire/Kevin are picky eaters!). The information and suggestions you graciously provided all week were so very helpful to enjoying our stay as well. The two of you have created something very, very special at Turtle Nest Inn. We wish you the very best always and look forward to returning some day and recommending you to one and all until then! P.S. Was wonderful to share my birthday (this week) with Marleine!” C.H.&K.H., Palatine, Illinois, USA (October 29, 2005)

Until next time…” S.G.& P.G., Cambridge, England, UK (October 25, 2005)

When our condo in Cayman is finally repaired in 2006 (Ivan), we will still come back to the Inn to say hello to our wonderful host and hostess. Thanks!!!” K.C.&S.C., Tucson, Arizona, USA (October 18, 2005)

Our stay here has been that and so much more.The views of the beach and ocean were wonderful! We loved sitting out on our balcony listening to the waves break on shore. How peaceful and relaxing! Our room was so clean. Doreen and Fernanda did a fabulous job! It was so nice to have new bed sheets and bath towels every day. We’re spoilt now! The dinners on Thursday with all of the people at the Inn were so fun and delicious. We want the recipes! Will you cook for us? Our trip to Stingray City with Dexter was awesome. We highly recommend him! One of our favorite days of our trip! Finally, Marleine and Alain: Thank you so much for making our stay at the Inn so memorable. You both are so kind!

We appreciated having the ‘heads up’ since this was our first – but not our only for sure, visit to Grand Cayman. You both are gracious hosts and I think you have really made a niche for yourselves for the kind of traveller my husband and I are. Don’t change too much! The dinner here was the most enjoyable dining we had during our entire stay. Even though we ate at some of the highly recommended restaurants, we liked ‘yours’ the best! The snorkelling here at Turtle Nest Inn was wonderful! I think some of the best on the Island. Loved sitting by the pool and watching the horizon morning and evening. We will certainly be telling our friends what a great time we had and they could have if they come and stay here at Turtle Nest Inn, Grand Cayman!

My husband and I, our six year old son and my mother felt such comfort and content during our ten nights stay at your Inn. It seems as though we were at a friend’s beach home — such beautiful grounds, sweet, affectionate pets and lovely, gracious hosts! My husband and I spent many nights on the lounge chairs stargazing and listening to the lapping of the waves in the deep darkness of the night. When I asked my six year old what his favourite part of the vacation was, he said; swimming, the animals and the Innkeepers . He said the Innkeepers were nice and did special things.

“Bruce and I both agree the Turtle Nest Inn was the perfect choice for us for our first trip to Grand Cayman . You were both wonderful hosts, and your inn’s central location was ideal for exploring the island (which we did—from West Bay to East End to Rum Point). When asked her favorite thing about our vacation, our daughter Olivia said “the hotel” (which also included, of course, the pool, which the kids loved—and we loved the view!) The beachfront dinner was delicious and an incredible value, and our accommodations were also an incredible value. I’m sure we’ll be referring many others your way and hopefully returning sometime soon! A bientot and merci beaucoup!!!” K.S., Germantown, Maryland, USA (April 2, 2005)

“After booking Turtle Nest Inn in April 2004 for an October vacation, then having Ivan come through and change all my plans, rescheduling for February/March meant an almost 11-month wait for our vacation — could anything be worth that wait? Yes! Our host and hostess were warm and friendly, the accommodations, top of the line, snorkelling right outside your door was fantastic, and the terrace dimmer was the best meal we had on the island. Alain and Marleine have created the perfect place to get away from the stress of the world. I can’t wait to return to see the rest of the island rebuilt as well as Turtle Nest Inn did.” S.N.&L.N., New Knoxville, Ohio, USA (March 3, 2005)
“Turtle Nest Inn exceeds all the expectations we had! It is truly the best internet find we came across. We wish that we could find similar Inns throughout the rest of the places we desire to travel. However, we realize that Turtle Nest Inn is so wonderful because of the dedication of the owners and they are only here in Caynan! We cannot thank you enough for a wonderful vacation!” D.H.&J.H., Detroit, Michigan, USA (March 2, 2005)
“You have an absolutely charming Inn, much better than I had even expected. My rooms were the neatest and best kept I’ve ever stayed at. The little things that make a comfortable home away from home are all here right down to the softest, most comfy sheets and towels. How hard you must have worked to get back to such a beautiful, charming place after Ivan! I’d love to come back soon. Also the snorkelling here was the best we tried on the island ! Thank you for a wonderful vacation.” P.P.&S.P., Lima, Ohio, USA (March 1, 2005)

Keep up the good work!” D.L.&R.L., Ashburnham, Massachusetts, USA (February 26, 2005)

It is a peaceful place to stay, away from the crowds and yet accessible to all the amenities.

Thank you for a wonderful stay!” W.M.&V.M., Monmouth Beach, New Jersey, USA (February 12, 2005)
“I think we discovered one of the best finds of Grand Cayman before our arrival – your inn. Our room was wonderful and the views were breathtaking – even with the reminders that Ivan had been here. The terrace dinner was wonderful and we equally enjoyed the opportunity to grill oceanside each night. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality. We look forward to our return to Cayman and Turtle Nest Inn.” T.B.& L.B., Sioux Fall, South Dakota, USA (February 10, 2005)
“Turtle Nest Inn lived up to its reputation as Trip Advisor’s # 1 place to stay on Grand Cayman. I still can’t believe that the housekeeper scrubbed my percolator back to its original silver finish. Vitamine was alot of fun and Rochelle had good advice about where to go and what to do. If you’ve never tried snorkelling…don’t let that stop you! It’s like swimming in a tropical fish tank, an awesome experience. Credit to Alain and Marleine in their efforts to fully restore this oasis since Ivan’s ravages. Our hearts go out to all the folks here who have lost so much…physically and emotionally. May the Lord strengthen and encourage you as you rebuild.” R.T.&J.T., Haverhill, Massachusetts, USA (February 10, 2005)

“Unbelievable that all could be so beautifully put together after your disastrous Ivan. You are lovely and remarkable people. Thank you! I’d like to think I could come back to see ‘how your garden grows’ .” M.K., Palm Harbor, Florida, USA (February 4, 2005)

“Dearest friends, for the past six years you have managed to provide a tranquil retreat (even though you both have had to deal with so much stress) for us. Once again Jerry and I thank you for your gracious hospitality, charming accommodations, efficient housekeeping — and, of course, the chance to meet ‘inn-mates’ during an amazing ‘fusion’ ; dinner on the terrace. We will think of you often and leave Turtle Nest reluctantly, with our hopes, yet again, for a healthy, happy, successful 2005.” S.G.&J.F., Westfield, New Jersey, USA (February 3, 2005)

“Our 21 nights here have been everything we hoped for. The Terrace Dinner was excellent and a definite ‘must do.’ Snorkelling the reef at the inn also a ‘must do,’ as it’s probably the best snorkelling on the island. The accommodations at the inn are deluxe and housekeeping impeccable. We will definitely be back! Thanks for your hospitality.” B.M.&C.M., Qualicum Beach, British Columbia, Canada (January 26,2005)
