Turtle Nest Inn

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.

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.

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!

The Turtle Nest Inn is absolutely beautiful! If you are looking for an off the beaten path, relaxing place to stay in Grand Cayman Island, this is it. Marleine was a friendly delightful host who steered us to local restaurants and sites. The rooms are clean and comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen. The pool, beach, and grounds are well maintained and quiet. You will need your rental car (included in the cost) to explore the island and go to the best snorkeling and shopping areas.

Beautiful property with private pool and private beach. It also came with a rental car! Nice "apartment" with a full kitchen that helps to be able to eat a few meals in. Located on the south side away from the tourist areas. Depending on time of day, the drive to either Seven Mile Beach or Rum Point is about 30 minutes. We met several couples who have stayed here before and already booked their next stay.

Great place to relax around the pool. The rooms are spacious and everyone is very friendly. The downside is it's on a very busy, noisy road with dump trucks running around 18 hours a day starting around 5 am. Beware if you have an "Ocean view room" (roadside). Ocean front rooms are quiet.

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.

Don't usually submit a hotel review but we loved our stay at the Turtle Nest so much, we’re already discussing a return next year. We spent a whole week in February in apartment #9, an ocean view room on the second floor. We’re young people on a tight budget and the $500 we saved as opposed to staying in a beachfront apartment was worth every penny. Bright, spacious, fully equipped, our balcony along the side of the building gave us a pretty good view of the sea. The other side of our apartment faced the road and the traffic was somewhat heavy on occasion but nothing more. We were not disturbed by the road noise and we both slept like babies! This was our best travel experience!
