Your hospitality was excellent and we appreciate the care you took to make our stay special. We love the beachfront room and we hope to return to it someday. Our best days were spent lounging on the private beach, snorkeling, and soaking up the sun until dusk. I will miss our carefree days and the lunches at the jerk center. We are leaving with dark tans and many happy memories. Thanks again!” T.C.&M.C., Bedminster, New Jersey, USA (November 27, 2009)

“My father and I made yet another trip to Turtle Nest Inn this year. I have lived in the Caribbean for 3 years on 2 islands and have traveled extensively in other years, visiting the vast majority of islands and the finest resorts, etc. Nothing compares to Turtle Nest Inn. Nothing. Not Cap Juluca in the Virgin Islands or Sandy Lane in Barbados or the one and only Ocean Club in the Bahamas. Turtle Nest Inn is in a class by itself. We can not wait to come back. My mother was not able to make the trip this year, so I look forward to having her here with us next year. Next year can’t come soon enough! Thank you so much for everything.” J.W.&H.W., Trenton, New Jersey, USA (November 7, 2009)

“My husband and I came to Turtle Nest Inn for our honeymoon. This is our first visit to the Cayman Islands, but it certainly won’t be our last. It has been like a fantasy trip: starting with the fun sushi dinner at Yoshi’s, the romantic ‘table 50’ at The Light House, lunches at the Texaco shack with the friendly local people and the picnic drive around the island to name a few special memories. The Inn — it’s cleanliness, location , views, top rate staff, quaintness and easy-going pace was exactly what we wanted! I have really enjoyed photographing the beautiful scenery, people and even the inn’s pets. An outstanding experience! Looking forward to a return trip here to enjoy more of it’s un-spoiled charm.” B.B.&K.B., Newton, North Carolina, USA (October 31, 2009)

“This is a great place! This was for my wife and my 10th year anniversary and this was a beautiful place to stay. Quiet and great snorkeling with a private beach. It was so nice to get away from Georgetown and the busy crowds from the cruise ships! Bodden town is a great place and Turtle Nest Inn is a real gem. P.S. Go to Rankins for some good chicken.” B.M.&E.M., Lewisville, Texas, USA (October 28, 2009)
“We knew the experience we wanted when we booked our stay at Turtle Nest Inn.

“Having spent the last 6 days here in Grand Cayman, Ina and I had a most memorable time filled with relaxation, fun and enjoyable encounters with the people of Grand Cayman. We traveled the entire island from Turtle Nest Inn to the west all the way to Boatswain Bay and to the east all the way to Rum Point. And, we always found something new in the natural scenery, but the locals were consistently kind and offered smiles. Then of course, Turtle Nest Inn …what can I say. It is situated beautifully away from all the tourist activity and nestled into an area that reflects the beauty of Cayman- white sandy beach, calm turquoise water, friendly locals, quiet and peaceful. We were very impressed with how immaculate the Inn is maintained and the architecture and grounds offered a romantic appeal. We learned to snorkel on Cayman and the peaceful water there at the Inn offered up quite a colorful underwater world of coral and sea life. The staff at your Inn is very thoughtful and helpful, especially John with his ever present smile. We can’t really say enough, other than Thank You to all of you for putting together such a hospitable atmosphere.” S.V.&I.V., Pilot Point, Texas, USA (October 22, 2009)
“Our second stay at Turtle Nest Inn was as perfect as our first! While we missed seeing Marleine and Donna, John is a delightful addition to your staff. He still owes us a song and dance though! Thanks for sharing your little slice of heaven. We’ll be back.” S.B.&B.B., Lansing, Michigan, USA (October 22, 2009)
“We are so glad we chose Turtle Nest Inn for our honeymoon. From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of the Turtle Nest family. The staff, generally, and John specifically, made our trip truly unforgettable. Our every need was met with a smile and we truly felt welcomed. We will sing praises of Turtle Nest Inn to whomever will listen. Thank you so much for everything!” B.L.&C.L., Yorktown, Virginia, USA (October 19, 2009)
“Turtle Nest Inn has been one of our highlights of our trip to Grand Cayman Islands! The apartment is bright, immaculate and even more than we expected! All of the staff was friendly and kind to us. Thank you all!” B.K.&A.K., Newtown, Connecticut, USA (October 19, 2009)
“We arrived eleven days ago for our honeymoon and have had a fantastic time! Turtle Nest Inn and the Caymans will always be in our hearts. We could not have picked a better location to explore the entire island. The Inn staff have consistently gone above and beyond to accommodate us. From recommendations for restaurants to scheduling trips and massages (in our room), the staff has made our trip as much as the Inn’s/country’s beauty. Thank you for an unbelievable time.” T.M.&S.M., Greenville, South Carolina, USA (October 16, 2009)
“Thank you for a wonderful time. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. John was great and a big help. Housekeeping kept things perfect. Everything was great.” R.B.&L.B., Fort Collins, Colorado, USA (October 15, 2009)

This was our first trip here to Grand Cayman and hopefully not our last. Everything was wonderful and we hope to make it back sometime in the future. Thanks for everything!” N.T.&O.R., Indianapolis, Indiana, USA (October 11, 2009)
“We came here for six nights for our honeymoon. My husband booked it as a surprise and what a nice surprise it was! We loved the location , the staff and owners are really friendly. We didn’t want to leave and already plan to come back! Grand Cayman is the first Caribbean island we have visited and we loved it. The only improvement could be for a light to be put over the BBQ so you can see what you are cooking and when it’s cooked. With a light we probably would have taken more advantage of it! But that was a very minor thing in what has been the perfect honeymoon.” C.J.&V.J., Hogg Lane, Grays, UK (October 10, 2009)
“Thank you John and Donna and Mr. and Mrs. Turtle Nest Inn (Marleine and Alain). This was a dream come to life. Island atmosphere, a car to see the gardens and sea. Thank you, thank you.” M.R.&H.R., Frederick, Maryland, USA (October 8, 2009)
“This was our second stay at Turtle Nest Inn and it was every bit as lovely as the first! From booking to our exit, the staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. You all made us feel at home! We enjoyed our diving and highly recommend Ocean Frontiers. Very professional and safe group. Chesters has great jerk pork at a very reasonable price. Great snorkeling just out the door of Turtle Nest. Huge lobster, Triggerfish, and more. We hope to return! Thanks for a relaxing stay.” S.D.&N.D., Caterville, Illinois, USA (October 5, 2009)

“We spent our honeymoon here at Turtle Nest Inn. We drove around the island but by far the best and most memorable part of exploring has been right here in Bodden Town, watching the locals and meeting the locals.

Great service!” M.P.&C.P., Westerville, Ohio, USA (September 26, 2009)

“This was a wonderful place to stay as we rounded out the honeymoon. The room was luxurious, the pool was inviting , the snorkel gear was easy to use, and the snorkeling was fantastic. A pair of Blowfish and a giant Parrot fish wished us a bon voyage before heading out this morning. And of course, the staff was friendly , helpful, and attentive. A perfect place to stay all around. Thank you so much, we will tell all our friends.” T.S.&A.S., Washington, DC, USA (September 17, 2009)
“When planning the trip for our 7th anniversary, I chose Turtle Nest Inn because we like a less tourist area. You truly get that here. The Cayman experience is right in front of you. We loved Stingray City but the best snorkeling by far is right in front of the Inn. Chester’s and the Lighthouse are amazing. Open mic night at The Brickhouse was a blast too! We love it here and are talking about what we will do when we return. The inn provides all you need at a great value. The staff have all been delightful and we loved the pets!

“Such a gorgeous place! We loved the quiet seclusion yet proximity to everything else on the island. Fabulous snorkeling just a short swim off the beach. Thanks for making our vacation so wonderful. We hope to be back soon!” R.A.&D.A., Overland, Missouri, USA (September 10, 2009)

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!

Hope to come back soon!” 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.” J.Y.&L.Y., Bethesda, Maryland, USA (July 1, 2009)

LOVE IT!!!” W.O.&R.O., Bedford, Texas, USA (June 14, 2009)

“Dear TNI, we had a fantastic time! Loved everything about the island. Thank you!!” E.B.&E.B., San Diego, California, USA (June 12, 2009)
“Sitting here watching the waves roll as evening falls on our last night at TNI. This was our first ‘island’ experience and it was a memorable one. TNI lived up to it’s billing on TripAdvisor which I thought would be impossible. Just perfect for us — much thought has clearly gone into how the place is setup and run. Thanks to Marleine, Alain, Donna and especially John for all the help and advice — save perhaps the oxtail! We found the island from here East and North (East End, Gun Bay, Rum Point etc) to be our favorite area. Seven Mile Beach is nice but not for us. Snorkeled for the first time in our 60 plus years — great stuff. I think Smith’s Cove was our favorite here. I thought the Stingray bar would be schlocky-touristy, but it was great. Captain Jimmy with Red Sail out of Rum Point was excellent. Oddly enough we’ve finally reached ‘island time’ — bit of Zen on our 8th and last night. Thank you so much.” J.F.&M.F., Orrington, Maine, USA (June 10, 2009)
“Our first stay here at TNI, hopefully won’t be our last! This was a perfect place to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary vacation.

Thank you to all the staff that are so extremely friendly and attentive — and that keep this place so clean! Thanks for sharing the friendly cats — it was wonderful taking a nap with Vitamine! Don’t miss Casanova’s in Georgetown for a romantic Italian dinner.” G.P.&J.P., Goose Creek, South Carolina, USA (June 7, 2009)
“Jose (Puerto Rico) and Gerda (South Africa): A beautiful peaceful place with a lovely breeze. ¡Gracias! and thanks for a great stay and great staff! Next time we would like Vitamine for a sleepover in our apartment.” J.L.&G.L., Tempe, Arizona, USA (June 6, 2009)
“We could not have chosen a more perfect honeymoon or location to stay for our first trip to the island! Our apt 8 and the staff, especially John, are very hospitable, cozy and friendly. TNI is located in the perfect location on the island as everything is within a short drive and away from the crowds. We plan to come back next year same time and revisit The Lighthouse restaurant, Roland’s Garden, Stingray City from Rum Point and our own ‘private beach’ in Cayman Kai! Next year we will return with our sister and brother-in-law and Bocce ball to challenge John! You will not regret TNI or Grand Cayman! See you soon!” G.C.&R.C., Raleigh, North Carolina, USA (June 6, 2009)

We snorkeled with amazing fish (including Sergeant Major fish, Barracuda, huge Tarpon and Angel fish), grilled dinner under the stars, watched the sun rise and set from a new latitude, tasted new foods, stalked Blue Iguana, juggled sand crabs and found new friends. The TNI staff (including Donna and John) are beyond wonderful and they made our stay feel like home. We cannot thank you enough for the home away from home and for the lifetime of memories!” D.H.&J.H., Kirkland, Washington, USA (May 31, 2009)

“Marleine, Alain, Donna, John and the rest of the staff, we can’t express well enough how much we loved our stay here. Our wedding by the pool was exactly what we expected — and more. Turtle Nest Inn is perfection. We love all of you. See you again very soon.” L.P.&D.P., Toronto, Ontario, Canada (May 23, 2009)
“Thank you to everyone at Turtle Nest Inn for a fabulous holiday. This really is a haven of tranquility, though the rest of the island isn’t bad either!!

“This is our first visit to Cayman Islands and Turtle Nest Inn to celebrate our honeymoon as a mature couple. Our overall impression is how very lovely and civilized the people and culture are. Staying here has been like enjoying the home of friends. Our apartment was impeccable, beautifully appointed, with all of the comforts of home. All our needs and wants were taken care of while we never felt intruded upon. We appreciated the ‘extras’ such as snorkeling gear, cooler, BBQ and sunscreen. The location is ideal to experience the island and we are so grateful that we were not centered in the tourist experience of Seven Mile Beach. We especially enjoyed the cheerfulness of John and Donna. We will always think of our time here with smiles and great fondness and hope to return soon!” G.H.&P.P., University Place, Washington, USA (May 20, 2009)
“Our honeymoon here at Turtle Nest Inn has been nothing short of perfect. We loved being away from the hustle and bustle of Seven Mile Beach, but never too far to get anywhere we wanted to go. Our favorite memories include snorkeling throughout the island (we even saw a shark at Eden Rock!), enjoying a spectacular dinner at the Lighthouse and cruising to Stingray City with Captain Dexter. I knew when I found this place on TripAdivisor.com it would be a gem and it certainly did not disappoint. We hope to be back for many happy anniversaries in the future .” J.H.&C.H., Hopkins, Minnesota, USA (May 18, 2009)

“Relaxing, friendly, helpful — just wonderful. Definitely one of the best snorkeling reefs on the island. A short stroll along the beach to Sea Side Paradise for excellent jerk fish and chicken. Roland’s Garden a must for fine food in a ‘unique’ setting and unique host. Or catch barracuda just off the beach! Our second visit in consecutive years tells you everything. Truly a jewel in the sparkling Caribbean. We’ll be back.” K.B.&R.V., Yorkshire, Farnley Tyas, UK (May 13, 2009)

As was our first visit, Marleine, Alain, John, Donna and Sonia provided us with genuine hospitality, willingness to accommodate us, and made us feel right at home. Our unit was always impeccably clean! Another reason we like staying at Turtle Nest Inn is their location; it is ideally situated for visiting the whole island affording us easy access to the dive sites. This was another memorable and serene vacation. We will return again to Turtle Nest Inn on our next visit to the Cayman Islands. Thank you again to Marleine, Alain, and the staff.” K.L.&A.D., Texarkana, Arkansas, USA (April 7, 2009)

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)

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)

Thanks for making our one year wedding anniversary so memorable.” 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.

This holiday has been all we hoped for and more.” P.F.&J.F., Kettering, Northamptonshire, UK (March 4, 2009)

(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)

“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)

“A transformative stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and have nothing but good things to say about both Turtle Nest Inn and the island. I hope we can return next year.” M.M., Boston, Massachusetts, USA (February 11, 2009)

“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)

“Another wonderful vacation in paradise! Our 5th year here and 9 days just is not enough so we have booked for 2 weeks next year. Thank you for this wonderful Inn and all of the team.

“We had a fabulous time and the beaches are beautiful and the people at the Turtle Nest Inn have been very helpful and kind.” M.B.&L.B., Liberty, West Virginia, USA (February 28, 2009)
“Here in rural Bodden Town, people watching is an art form. The Inn is small enough and few people walk the beaches on this south side of Grand Cayman. Therein lies the magic of Turtle Nest Inn. One need not be on high alert to capture a pristine moment. Snorkel one of the best reefs, read all the books you like, nap under the palms and still see the lovely horses strolling the beach, watch the Frigate birds soaring overhead and enjoy the first class treatment of the best staff on the island. Innkeepers Marleine and Alain have created our month long home each February for five years and each time have welcomed us as honored guests. We’ve booked for 2010 already. Do not miss lunch or dinner at the Seaside Paradise for true island fare. Excellent! See you in eleven months!.” T.J.&S.J., Lexington Park, Maryland, USA (February 28, 2009)
“The Turtle Nest Inn has been a wonderful experience for us on our 25th anniversary. Very comfortable and certainly relaxing, with fine snorkeling. We loved the experiences, culture and cuisine of the entire island.” G.P&C.P., Queens Creek, Arizona, USA (February 27, 2009)

“This is our fifth visit in 8 years. We plan our stays at Turtle Nest Inn and have never been disappointed. That is saying a lot, since we have such high expectations! By far the best feature is the reef right outside our door, teeming with fish. No, perhaps its the convenience and joy of having our own kitchen to prepare food. No, it must be the exemplary service and warm hospitality. Ok, I also depend on the cleanliness and other great features, like the pool and beach! The stars of the show are the fish, followed closely by Alain, Marleine, Donna and the gang! Bye to all and Vitamine and Blackie and Calaloo!” K.H., Ithaca, New York, USA (January 31, 2009)
“Turtle Nest Inn is a place I now call one of my homes. My partner was kind enough to come here for the 5th time to celebrate my 50th birthday. It astounds me how beautiful the reef and fishes are, how meditative and exciting and otherworldly. A true vacation in paradise. With love for our gracious hosts.” J.F., Ithaca, New York, USA (January 31, 2009)

“What a fantastic place — just what we needed to chill out from the ‘rat race’. Staff superb and couldn’t do enough for us. Diving was great — Ocean Frontiers were good for boat dives. Sundivers also excellent for shore diving. Great hospitality and will definitely come back to Grand Cayman again.” J.S.&M.S., Edinburgh, Scotland, UK (January 28, 2009)

“What a wonderful vacation we have had! Your consideration, thoughtfulness and many personal touches made a relaxing time even more delightful. This was our first 3-generation holiday, and we’d love to come back and do it again. You have an outstanding property, but it’s the people — Alain, Marleine, Donna, Sharon — and the rest of your staff — that provide such a warm, hospitable environment and many reasons to keep smiling. Merci beaucoup! God bless you all!” M.R.&K.R., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (January 21, 2009)

“After a rocky start and a day late arrival (thanks to mother nature!), our annual pilgrimage to TNI didn’t disappoint. Per usual, TNI and it’s entire staff far exceeded our expectations. After this, our 4th consecutive year vacationing here, we feel as though we’re returning to visit friends rather than simply having a place to sleep. Of course, we cannot forget all the pets — they are all so sweet. They, too have a special place in our hearts! What more can we say that we haven’t already said the last three years? Thanks to everyone who makes staying here so special. See you in 2010! TNI — where guests become friends!” R.W.&D.W., Feeding Hills, Massachusetts, USA (January 14, 2009)

Thank you all so much.” E.H.,B.H.&A.H., Stonington, Connecticut, USA (January 13, 2009)

“First time back to the Caymans in 10 years — we won’t let that much time go by next time. Wouldn’t choose to stay anywhere but here! Everyone so friendly, helpful — beautiful sunrise every morning. Snorkling superb! This feels like a home away from home. God bless to all.” L.W.&L.W., Norman, Oklahoma, USA (January 10, 2009)
“Thank you for providing us with such a beautiful setting in which to celebrate our 20th anniversary. The apartment overlooking the beach was perfect — well appointed, clean and bright. The staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. Vitamine visited us one day and napped on our coach — such a sweetie! I’m trying to convince my husband that a 21st anniversary trip back to TNI should be strongly considered!” G.H.&B.H., Boston, Massachusetts, USA (January 8, 2009)
“Thank you for such a fantastic stay! Turtle Nest Inn will forever hold a special place my heart as I got engaged here during our stay!

Can’t wait to return! Thank you for everything!” T.L.&J.D., Houston, Texas, USA (January 7, 2009)
“Dear Everyone: Thank you for making our family vacation so special. Since we were here last year with one daughter and her family, I knew it would be the perfect place for the 23 of us. I think everyone enjoyed it thoroughly! Now we go back to ice and snow, but we’ll all cherish our memories of Grand Cayman and Turlte Nest Inn, and ‘revisit’ many times with our photographs. We’ll all miss the animals too! Happy New Year!” B.S.&J.S., North Reading, Massachusetts, USA (January 6, 2009)

“Work and snow await and with that, a jolt back to reality! I dread the transition. This has been a relaxing, restorative week with our entire family (23 of us!). My favorite thing to do is just walk the beach, collecting small (and large) treasures — sea urchins, sea grass, shells, sea fans and the prized sea biscuit! I hope my bags don’t go over 50 lbs at the airport! Turtle Nest Inn is fabulous! Everything you need inside and out, and wonderfully kind folks working here. Loved New Year’s Eve! The fireworks and fire crackers! Such a celebration.” T.S.S., Andover, Massachusetts, USA (January 4, 2009)
“We have been so blessed to spend time together as a family at this beautiful place. Turtle Nest Inn is a little slice of heaven on earth, and this is where we’ve collected memories that we will look back fondly on forever. I am going to miss my morning cup of coffee and the view from our balcony of apartment 9. God bless you all.” B.S., Chester, New Hampshire, USA (January 4, 2009)
“Thank you so much for everything! It was a wonderful stay and I had an amazing time here. If I ever return (which hopefully I will!), this would definitely be the place I’d want to stay!
