Turtle Nest Inn

Have always stayed in West Bay before, but we decided to try something different.  We thoroughly enjoyed our time at TNI.  It’s a big plus to have the rental car included, and yes it’s a bit of a drive to 7 mile area, but we really didn’t mind.  The best part of the trip was being able to relax by the pool or beach in a beautiful and quiet setting.  We did snorkel out front and saw lots of smaller fish.  It’s also a bonus to be so close to Spott’s beach to swim with the turtles.  Spott’s is one of our favorite beaches on the island.  We are avid snorkelers and sometimes divers.  On another note, Marleine was very attentive and the apartment was simple but very comfortable and charming.  We’d definitely stay at TNI again.

We don't like the crowded and touristy feel of seven mile beach. So, Turtle Nest Inn was perfect for us. The location is convenient to anywhere on the island. We felt like we had our own private beach and the pool was very nice. Our room was clean and well furnished, including the kitchen. The gracious host and staff made us feel like honored guests. Couldn't recommend this place more for your stay in Grand Cayman!
And the car that came with the room was a huge plus!

We loved our trip to the Turtle Nest Inn. It was the perfect location with a private beach, pool, and easy driving distance to restaurants. Marleine and Donna were a pleasure and always ready to help. We had to cut our trip short due to the incoming hurricane and the hotel was very understanding and able to issue a refund. At the inn there was paddle boarding, snorkeling, and sea glass. Definitely will be returning as soon as we can!

Turtle nest inn is a lovely small inn with a position  directly onto its own sandy beach. The owners & staff were lovely & a car was included in the package. We had kitchen facilities & there was also a bbq outside that we could use. Beach towels were also provided as well as snorkelling equipment. Only downside was it was on the quieter side of the island with not much in the way of restaurants (other than Caribbean shacks) nearby so had to drive to dine out.

A friend recommended the Inn as we did not want to stay in the hustle and bustle of Seven Mile Beach.  The Inn checked all our boxes and then some.  It's located about 10 miles from the airport and your reservation comes with a rental car.  We used the eSim Airalo for Google Maps and it worked like a charm.  The little compact was perfect for 2 of us and we were glad we didn't upgrade to a larger vehicle.  Roads are narrower and when mastering how to drive on the left the car was great.  

The Inn's owner, Marleine is just lovely - welcomed us herself and throughout our two week stay in March we enjoyed her fresh Pina Coladas on the beach and our conversations with her.  Snorkel gear - yes.  Beach towels - yes.  Laundry - yes. Restaurant tips - yes. Anything we needed - yes.  This was our first trip and we were spoiled with the serenity and personal service.  Just right - not intrusive.  Our apartment (5) was spacious, spotless, services every other day with fresh sheets and towels, WiFi instant, modern conveniences, and the palm-tree shaded balcony provided a great spot to settle with a cup of tea and a book.  

Friendly little lizards entertained us around the pool which overlooked the beach.  Several coconut palms with Adirondack chairs  grace the beach for that early morning or afternoon/evening shade and relaxation listening to the waves.  You can snorkel off the beach - past the sea grass a small barrier reef is fairly shallow and we saw tarpon, stingray, several fish, coral, and conch.  

We snorkeled/shopped/sampled restaurants all over the island from West Bay to Kaibo and our location at the Inn in Bodden Town was perfect.  if you prefer being surrounded by crowds and hordes of tourists, the Inn is not for you.

If your goal is maximum relaxation, a slower pace, friendly and personal service, then  come to the Turtle Nest Inn.  There are no dining facilities at the Inn itself but within minutes there are so many restaurants to choose from.  That's part of the charm and we loved making our nightly decision for dinner.  We found ourselves returning to favorites and they remembered us. Thank you so much Marleine and your staff for taking such great care of us.  We hope to see you again.

When I reached out for availability the staff recognized me from a few years earlier of emailing them! We were fortunate enough to get a room but they also upgraded us to a nicer and bigger condo next door. We were so grateful how responsive they were, helping us sort out a delay in our travels during New years. 

We LOVED the location. We were worried we miss out on 7 mile beach but we preferred our beach in the end. It was quiet, easy to shop, or eat out, central to all the sights, and we would watch the sunset from the local pier nearby, with sting rays swimming under us. So magical! There were fireworks for New Years Eve right there. It was a highly memorable trip! 

We would recommend this place to anyone thinking of going to the Caribbean in general. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

What a beautiful inn situated on a gorgeous bay in perfectly quiet Boddentown.    We had a fantastic view of the ocean over the pool, accompanied by the delightful sound of palm trees rustling with the breeze.    The staff is so helpful yet unobtrusive, the apartments have everything you need for a week of self-catering bliss.    If you enjoy reading by the pool with one or two couples nearby or even having a stretch of beach to yourself for oceanside happy hour, then the Turtle's Nest Inn is for you.   And also some of the best snorkeling on the island is right out in front of you, a short swim to the reef.    No tour required!    We love this place.

If you want a relaxing vacation in a clean oceanfront room with great customer service this is the place. The pool has just been redone lots of chairs and loungers. Comfortable apartment steps to the sand with BQ. Marleine was very helpful with recommendations and Alain with booking questions. Seaweed was cleaned up daily and Finn’s were borrowed to snorkel out front. Nice place if you want peace and quiet like the Caribbean use to be.

Turtle nest Inn is in a nice , private location. The owner, Marleine, is extremely nice and lives at the location. She is always asking if you need anything and is willing to give advice on where to go on the island. My wife and I stayed for nine days and worked the first four days we were there. The internet service there was great. The pool was renovated while we were there and came out amazing. Paddle boards, kayaks & snorkel gear were available on site for the beach. Chairs were also available to take to the beach offsite. The, included, vehicle rental was a big plus. It felt like home. I recommend it to anyone who is not looking to stay in a crowded resort and likes privacy. 

Turtle Nest Inn is an absolute diamond in the rough. we’ve been to cayman many times but typically stay on seven mile. this trip we were looking for something more budget friendly and settled on Turtle Nest Inn, safe to say this is one of our #1 spots now and we will absolutely be back. the set up is perfect, we stayed in Apt 6, a top floor beachfront apt and we’d always choose this one if possible coming back. the pool right on the beach is absolutely perfect and we spent most of our days hanging by the pool. the beach and water is not as calm as seven mile but we expected this coming in and honestly we swam almost every day, we snorkeled many times right out in front of the Inn and we paddle boarded several times as it’s included for free use! the sea grass came and went, some days the water was super clear and other days after a storm, not so much but it truly didn’t bother us, if you’re worried about it! 

most importantly the service at Turtle Nest brings it above and beyond. we were warmly welcomed by Donna when we arrived and met Marleine shortly after. Marleine and Donna were there to answer any questions we had or make us a pina colada at any time! Marleine also went above and beyond helping my boyfriend set up to propose while we were there, she helped set up, videoed the moment for us, and took pictures for us. the moment was truly so special and i can’t thank Marleine enough for helping it all go smoothly. 

the included car rental was one of the selling points for us and it really came in handy. we drove over to Tukka on the East End for dinner one night, and over the george town and seven mile for dinner 2 other nights. we also drove up to tour the crystal caves one day, went over to the botanical gardens on a gloomier day, and drove up to rum point to take a night tour to starfish point, jellyfish beach, and the bioluminescent bay. the inn is on a busier local road, just something to keep in mind for driving!

the rooms are no frills but absolutely adequate for what you need while you are visiting. we stopped at the grocery and liquor store once and were good to cook meals in the apartment many days. we also took advantage of the grill multiple days as well. housekeeping is included if you prefer as well! the on site ice machine was also a huge plus for us. also the pool was getting redone starting the day we left, can’t wait to see how it turns out!

we truly had a magical trip. after getting engaged we really felt we were able to just relax, soak it up, and enjoy our time together. even when the inn seemed to be booked full, it felt like no one was there. we often had the pool and beach to ourselves most of the day. we already we talking about coming back before we even left so we can’t wait to get back to Turtle Nest Inn 😊
