Thank you so much for everything! We absolutely enjoyed our stay here! It gave us a new and refreshing look on how to go on a holiday. It's amazing to be here, to enjoy the nature of Saba and your cooking. It was amazing!

Again think you so much and keep up the good work. It is really special.

Dear Tom, Heleen , Bernt and Dana. Thank you for all you have shown and given us. Being here has been a tremendous inspiration, not the least to give the promises we made in "Ladder Labyrinth" Saba, you, and the ecolodge will now be part of our story, just as we hope we have contributed a small part of ours, if nothing else than at least by the many smiles and warm feelings we have exchanged. We very much hope to return and hope to find you here many times in the future.

Our stay at the Ecolodge and Saba was very special and it will be engraved in our memories. The perfect stay, th great food by Bernt and explanation of our favorite marine expert Tom. The charm of Dana and unique paintings of Heleen give an impression of Paradise to the place. We will be back to this island protected from the crowd. The dives are the best I have done. All the best to your great family.

This was our first time to the island and we've had a wonderful time. The food was wonderful, everyone has been so friendly and it's been a very relaxing and excellent experience. Thank you so much for all your hospitality - hopefully we can make it back soon!

Saba and Ecolodge both have so much to offer - from the friendly staff, the great food, the diving and hiking, our vacation was exactly what we hoped it would be, both relaxing and somewhat of an adventure. We hope to return someday!

Thank you so much for a wonderful two weeks in "Turtle". Harry and I were most impressed. We love the idea of the place and how you make it all work. Thanks, too, for the Wednesday night talk. It was good to know a bit about what we were seeing every day. Everyone was friendly and helpful; we were treated like kings. Your food is fantastic! We just wanted you to know. What a lovely spot, and what a great premise..

Just a quick note to say a very big thank you to you and all of the staff at the Ecolodge. Alena and I had a great time in Saba, and the Ecolodge was fantastic. We work extremely hard when we are on charter, and the environment we found at the Ecolodge was exactly what we needed to get away from it all.

To all at the Ecolodge, Just wanted to write and convey our huge thanks for making our short visit to Saba such a memorable one! We loved our lodge, had a great time hiking all over the island, ate fantastic food at a couple of Windwardside's restaurants, and were constantly amazed at Saba's beauty. And, as someone on your testimonials page wrote, we were totally amazed that local celebrity Tom made us breakfast (and served us dinner)! Wow! You have built something really special, so keep up the great work. We have already recommended the Ecolodge to friends and we hope to visit again soon. Thanks again.

Let's see ... Tom, the owner, founded the marine parks in Bonaire, Curacao and Saba, has written several naturalist tomes on Saban flora and fauna, is a renowned authority on marine and topside ecosystems, AND HE COOKED US BREAKFAST !!! We're not worthy! Thanks for an excellent stay!

Once again I had a delightful time staying at your lovely Ecolodge. Your thoughtful additions have made it an even more enjoyable place to be. I particularly enjoyed the beautiful view out to the ocean from the new deck. Thank you for your kind hospitality and please send my thanks to Bernt and Dana for the delicious meals and friendly atmosphere.

David & Maggi Bennett, Feb. 2006
Just to say how much we enjoyed our stay in Turtle Ecolodge last month. You were all so friendly and helpful. We had a great time on Saba - what a contrast (pleasant) to Sint Maarten!

We've taken the boys to California for a month & to the west coast of Canada & the Pacific Northwest several times and I can safely say, even though we always had a great time on our holidays, the trip to Saba was the best holiday we've ever had. My friends at work grilled me about Saba for the 4 evenings I worked this week. One of the guys I work with has a sister who has wanted to go to Saba for a long time & our trip has re energized her for it.

It is so refreshing to know people care about the human spirit and the environment and the health of the world I've been more relaxed and motivated in the last 24 hours than I have been for my entire 3 month experience in the Caribbean. Thank you so much for our stay here. We will most definatly be back soon.

Een oase van rust, mooie natuur (prachtig) Hele mooie wandelroutes en het eten was uitmuntend goed. Kan ik alleen iedereen aanraden.

Wonderful place - decided we had to stay here when visiting last
year. It was all we expected and more. Bernt's cooking is better than any we've had anywhere. I look forward to a return visit soon.

Al Tims & Kathy Hansen, Twin Cities, March, 2004
Quite honestly, our dinner at the Ecolodge reminded us of some of the best meals we've enjoyed in Napa. More specifically, it reminded me (Al) of Chez Panisse in Berkeley -- but at half the price!
We might return to Saba just to enjoy another magical evening at this amazing restaurant. A rain shower during the entree followed by a serenade by the tree frogs helped set the stage for an enchanting experience. A+
