“A Wonderful Little Spot”

Turtle Nest Inn

My wife Rebecca and I spent a lovely honeymoon at Turtle Nest Inn. The room was exactly as they described, very clean and very comfortable. We had a lovely view of the Caribbean from our balcony. Donna welcomed us so kindly and was so helpful throughout our stay. It is a quiet spot, away (but not too far) from the hustle of Seven Mile Beach, and we enjoyed the peace and relaxation of walks on the beach, snorkeling right behind the Inn and exploring Bodden Town. For anyone looking for a real getaway, Rebecca and I highly recommend Turtle Nest Inn.

“Small, Special Great Get Away, We will be Back”

Turtle Nest Inn

Aug 24, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Very happy we found this place. We wanted away from town, small, local, clean and friendly and we got everything we asked for. Rooms very clean, beach and snorkeling good with easy access. Pool right above the beach.
A little out of town so you drive to get supplies.
Kitchen filled with what ever you need to cook a meal if you want to stay in.

So if you like big and fancy with room service this is not the place, if you want a local feel and a place to kick back and just enjoy the island give it a try.

We plan to go back.

“Hidden Gem”

Turtle Nest Inn

This Inn is indeed a hidden gem and for the price a fabulous find. We stayed here for a week this past winter and loved it. Everyone was so friendly and helpful with anything we needed. We stayed in one of their oceanfront rooms and to wake up each morning listening to the waves is wonderful. The inn is small and intimate which was a change from the resorts we have stayed in the past. Plus there was a kitchen which we have never had before. Loved having breakfast out on the veranda watching cruise ships in the distance going by and then in the evening making daiquiris in the blender and just chilling out. Quite, peaceful, relaxing
It is a little out of the way from the main hustle and bustle of 7 mile beach but there are grocery stores, a post office, restaurants, pizza to go places, book stores, etc nearby. The only drawback, which is important to know, is the beach is not a soft walking sand beach like 7 mile beach. You need beach shoes in and out of the water because of the coral.

Stayed for a week in Turtle Nest Inn Condo #7 and it was fabulous! Nice ocean view just steps from the pool and the ocean. Peaceful Bodden Town location away from the hustle-bustle and higher prices of George Town. I liked this end unit because of the extra windows and the nice decor. The staff at Turtle Nest Inn is very friendly and accommodating. Property is clean, well-maintained and small enough to provide personal attention. Pool and the beach were both nice. Just a 15-minute drive to Seven-Mile Beach. A couple miles to the east is Chester's where you can get good, local food. I hated to leave for home!! I definitely plan to go back to the Turtle Nest Inn and I highly recommend it!!!!

My wife and 2 chidren (ages 13 & 10) arrived at TNI for a week stay on July 30, 2008. We flew from Richmond, VA, with a connection in Charlotte, NC. We had visited the island as a couple before we had children, maybe 15 years ago. The location on the island could not be better for exploring. We were very busy every day, and snorkeled everyday but one. On arrival, we were greeted by Donna, who informed us that Marleine and Alain were on vacation, which at first concerned me, as we had heard great things about them. Our concerns were without merit, as Donna was the sweetest, most accomodating friend we could have hoped for. Donna helped us plan our excursions (The Turtle Farm, Atlantis Submarine Ride, Captain Dexters Stingray Bar boatride), and was a daily wealth of information. We stayed in condo #1, and it was a perfect size for our family. The wonderful view, two pools to choose from (which were never busy), and tremendous snorkeling out front made this place the perfect package. The rental car was small (a midsize), but was great for going around the island. I quickly got used to "giving way" at the roundabouts and not so quickly got used to using my turn signal. For those going to the Georgetown waterfront to shop, eat at Margaritaville or the Hard Rock, Snorkel at Eden Rock or Smiths Cove, I would highly recommend taking South Sound Road, as it is simple, as well as beautiful. We discovered the drive the day before we left, and find it a treasure and a relaxing way to go. Our dinner at the Lighthouse rest. was great and we enjoyed our outing to Rum Point one day for the Beach. The Turtle Farm was fun, where we enjoyed both the pool and the lagoon. On the way back from the Turtle Farm we stopped at Cemetery Beach to snorkel. Our Children, who had never snorkeled, impressed us with their quick adaptation to expert snokelers. Our 10 year old son would swim 100 yards out and back with ease, and no flotation assistance. The day we went with Capt. Dexter and his mate John, we had a great time. The stingrays are a memory we will not forget, and the reef we went to after the bar was beautiful. Food is expensive, but we enjoyed our outings to Fosters Food Fair in Savannah, as out kitchen and dining room in the condo was used most days, and we had Pizza Hutt twice in the week. The kindness and friendliness of people all over Cayman makes it one of our favorite places ever. We loved TNI, and Donna, Vitamine, Blackie, and friends we met there from all over. The small size of TNI allows personal service not found elsewhere. We hope to return one day, it is highly recommended.
