5/5 Fast A. 2 years ago on Google
We
found
our
spot!
We
stayed
8
nights
and
are
completely
satisfied
with
our
choice
to
stay
at
Turtle
Nest
Inn,
away
from
7
mile
beach
and
its
contrived
trappings
(and
resort
fees).
Choosing
Turtle
Nest
Inn
is
more
like
having
a
tidy
apartment
with
helpful
friends
available
during
business
hours.
My
husband
and
I
are
casual
people
who
prefer
to
support
local
small
business
over
major
corporations.
But
we
are
tourists,
after
all,
so
we
did
splurge
on
jet
skiing
to
the
Sting
Rays
with
Fat
Fish
and
The
Sweet
Spot
took
us
to
the
bioluminescent
bay.
On
our
last
visit
to
Grand
Cayman,
we
did
stay
with
one
of
the
big
boys
at
7
mile.
Going
forward,
I
will
choose
the
Turtles
Nest,
without
hesitation,
again
and
again
for
a
more
authentic
island
experience.
I
would
recommend
this
place
to
friends
and
family
and
even
suggest
that
we
should
meetup
here
someday.
I
would
not
say
the
same
about
my
7
mile
experience,
which
was
overpriced,
crowded
with
obnoxious
people,
and
insulated
from
the
islands’
culture.
At
Turtles
Nest,
Donna
will
get
you
oriented
and
make
you
the
most
delicious
Pina
Colada
to
enjoy
on
the
beach
for
6.50,
while
on
seven
mile,
you
will
pay
thrice
the
price
for
a
one
that
isn’t
half
as
good;
and
we
did
try
one
out
there
for
comparison.
Another
example
of
how
you
get
more
bang
for
your
buck
at
Turtles
Nest
is
the
sports
equiptment.
Included
in
your
stay,
you
can
take
out
a
kayak,
paddle
boards,
and
snorkel
equiptment
and
more
at
no
extra
charge.
It’s
all
at
your
disposal
in
the
pool
shed.
We
brought
our
own
snorkel
buoys
and
consider
long
sleeved
swim
shirts
and
pants
because
there
are
little
jellyfish
all
around
the
island.
We
love
to
snorkel
for
hours
everyday,
and
the
coral
formations
are
diverse
and
developed
here.
You
can
swim
100
yards
out
and
explore
the
reefs
edge
and
you
will
see
many
fish
as
well.
The
water
is
clear
beyond
the
sea
grass.
There
is
a
break
out
there
in
the
water,
just
don’t
go
past
that
and
stay
away
from
where
the
reef
is
cut
(clearly
marked
with
buoys)
to
let
boats
in
and
out.
We
did
not
see
much
boat
activity,
but
the
reef
cut
may
create
a
rip
tide.
It
is
easy
to
avoid.
We
didn’t
see
any
cruise
ships
ruining
the
view
either.
The
sun
rises
right
on
this
beach,
and
it
is
worth
waking
up
to
see
it…
even
it
it
means
going
back
to
bed
for
second
sleep.
Since
we
got
the
car
rental
package
we
did
go
to
different
parts
of
the
island,
driving
on
the
left
side
of
the
road.
But
by
the
end
of
our
8
days,
we
were
happy
just
to
chill
in
place
where
we
had
lots
of
elbow
room
under
the
shade
of
palm
trees.
There
is
no
fighting
for
beach
chairs
here.
With
the
car,
we
also
drove
to
snorkel
at
Eden
Rock,
Macabuca,
Cemetary
Beach,
and
Spotts
beach.
Pro
tip:
if
you
venture
North
by
car,
avoid
traveling
back
south
between
6-8pm
where
there
is
a
rush
hour
traffic
surge
every
day.
The
road
is
busy,
so
if
the
noise
is
going
to
bother
you,
go
with
an
ocean
view
room.
No
matter
where
you
are
on
the
island
though,
you’re
going
to
hear
roosters
crowing
no
matter
what.
Maybe
pack
some
ear
plugs
if
you’re
a
sensitive
sleeper.
We
got
takeout
from
the
Chill
Spot
more
than
once,
and
we
recommend
The
Jerk
Chicken
and
drinks
at
The
Czech
Inn,
where
George
is
a
super
colorful
host.
Herman’s
Fish
Fry
is
another
nearby
local
spot
with
pleasant
outdoor
casual
seating
with
an
ocean
view.
The
rice
and
beans
at
Everglo
had
a
signature
flavor
that
I
really
liked.
In
Georgetown,
we
ate
at
Singhs
Roti
Shop.
These
places
where
the
menus
are
marker
on
a
dry
erase
board,
were
the
best
value
and
tasted
great,
like
home
cooking.
We
also
cooked
in
our
own
fully
stocked
kitchen
several
times
as
well.
For
a
little
more
$$
than
the
aforementioned,
we
also
enjoyed,
The
Sunset
Grill,
The
Silverside
at
Eden
Rock,
Macabuca
(go
at
sunset),
and
Over
The
Edge.
At
these
places,
you
pay
a
bit
more
for
the
atmosphere
and
service,
but
you
can
still
show
up
in
a
wet
bathing
suit.
Marleine,
Donna,
and
Mango
the
dog
are
absolutely
lovely
hosts,
and
I
would
book
a
getaway
at
Turtle
Nest
Inn
in
a
heartbeat.
