Guest Reviews
- Rodríguez Fernández (10/5): Experiencia - La habitación es espectacular, cuidada, limpia y muy bonita. El personal súper atento, tenían 2 chicos que fueron súper amables y nos recomendaron super bien.
- Sherri (7/5): Stunning treehouse style room and deck overlooking a lush tropical garden. Lots of wildlife! - Stunning location in the jungle with a gorgeous room and tree-house style observation deck. Host was helpful in arranging taxi pickup from Bocas town. Restaurant and service was mostly great. We were the last guests of the season (our first time experiencing this) along with one other couple already there who then left so it was just us for the last couple of days. Unfortunately seemed that there was a certain eagerness to close up.
- nancy (10/5): -
- Monika (9/5): - El personal es súper amable, ayudan con absolutamente todo. Las instalaciones están muy bien mantenidas y se cuidan en todos los detalles.
- MIASARAH (10/5): Tranquil jungle-beach oasis! - What an amazing experience! From the ease of the check-in process, to the special request item (i.e., champagne) to start our anniversary off, and not to mention the wonderful staff, meals, room, and breathtaking views of the beach and sounds of the jungle! Chef's kiss - perfection! Wish we could have stayed longer!
- Julie (10/5): -
- Maria (10/5): Lovely and paradisiacal. A place to return to. - The Hummingbird is a gem. With beautiful and comfortable rooms, our stay was peaceful and relaxing. The property has been carefully planned and is well maintained, with lush tropical gardens and access to the jungle, where frequent sightings of monkeys, sloths and colorful birds are quite amazing. The pool is nicely surrounded by tropical trees and flower plants with hummingbirds visible from time to time.
Key to The Hummingbird are the very attentive hosts, Betsy and Gary, and their fantastic staff. The restaurant is a big plus, with delicious food and a great bar.
The beach is a few steps in front of the property with soothing sounds from sea waves.
- Marcelo (10/5): -
- David (10/5): Great hotel for a relaxing break to enjoy nature - highly recommend. - Our stay at the Hummingbird was perfect, Gary and Betsy were great hosts. The room was big, clean, comfortable and set in the gardens with nature all around, which we could enjoy from our decking area. The Hummingbird is situated out of town in a beautiful and quiet location with direct access to the beach and able to hear the relaxing sound of waves breaking from our room. A different high quality breakfast on offer everyday, served by a friendly and attentive team. We liked everything
- Denis (10/5): Exceptional! - Being able to enjoy our experience with the wonderful owner! Nothing
- Sven (9/5): -
- Roy (9/5): -
- Guest (4/5): So dissapointing : we booked for 4 nights , stayed 3 nights as we couldn't find flights earlier - some wild nature, saw few birds and one agouti, large room, terrasse, had one dinner ok; wild large beach nearby for walking, unfortunately no swimming because of high strong waves, staff ok except Olivia who hates guests Property in the middle of nowhere, almost all neighborhood for sale or under construction, basic room, no coffee maker, no hair drier and other restrictions in the name of eco-friendly, but plastic bottle for water or metal bottle for sale, seamed to me everything just cheap, little natural light in the room, no activities, abandoned pavilion with ancient broken books and games, small garden cannot walk beyond; the most unpleasant was Olivia - the one in charge there, owner? - who made us feel unwanted ( even we didn't complain at all); still, she didn't forget to calculate the tip
- Oleksandr (10/5): Very friendly atmosphere from the hotel owners, surrounded by beautiful nature - This is a family-run eco-hotel located on a beautiful and romantic beach. Before the trip, I looked at many hotels and reviews and was prepared for the fact that the road to the hotel (about 15 minutes) was quite challenging, and swimming on the beach was not recommended. But we really wanted a secluded island experience surrounded by nature. And our expectations were more than met!
Listening to the sound of the surf and birdsong, watching hummingbirds having breakfast, and sometimes seeing a sloth in the evening – it was magnificent!
Transportation was easy; the hosts sent a trusted taxi driver directly to the airport, who then drove us around the island. Finally, for a change, we rented a small jeep for a trip to the gorgeous beaches on the other side of the island.
The dinners at the hotel were excellent! And most importantly, the hosts were incredibly welcoming! It felt like visiting close relatives who really missed you!
Thank you so much for the wonderful atmosphere at your hotel!

- Antonia (10/5): Perfekte Unterkunft am Bluff Beach - Sehr freundliches, zuvorkommendes Personal und sehr schöne Unterkunft in der Natur in direkter Strandnähe. Menschenleerer Bluff Beach ist traumhaft schön und lädt zur Entspannung ein. In der Unterkunft sind die Wellen und Tiergeräusche zu hören. Der Weg zur Unterkunft von Bocas Downtown führt den längsten Weg über eine unbefestigte Straße, insbesondere bei Regen ist die Anreise schwierig. Wenn man Trips zu anderen Inseln plant, dauert es und man muss Taxi fahren oder sich einen Scooter etc. mieten.
- Carmen (10/5): Exceptional place!! Loved it! - The nature, the ocean nearby, the service at the pool, the room refreshment daily with water refill, the food quality was excellent. Betsy the host was always there to meet our needs and more. Nothing in particular
- Xac (10/5): A casual but luxurious stay between the beach and rainforest. - The accommodation is on the track from town to the gardens of the Bocas island, set between the beach and the rain forest. This means lots of bird sounds in the morning, hummingbirds and the occasional howler monkey call and Sloths nearby.
Despite this isolation the bedrooms/bathrooms are luxurious, the pool a good size and the food at the casual restaurant excellent. Nothing comes to mind.
- Hilke (9/5): -
- Mechthild (10/5): Unsere beste Unterkunft während unserer Rundreise - Wunderschöner, liebevoll eingerichteter Bungalow in einem phantastischen Garten direkt am Meer, sehr aufmerksames Personal Es war alles perfekt
- MARTIN (10/5): La sostenibilidad de calidad - Todo en general, cuidan mucho los detalles, la cocina es muy buena. Tienen una sensibilidad especial por ser sostenibles. Además tienen claro que quieren ofrecer calidad , son solo 6 alojamientos . Si vuelvo a Bocas del Toro pelearé por alojarme aquí. Felicito a sus propietarios. Nada, me gustó absolutamente todo.
- Rodsivieri (10/5): -
- Mike (8/5): - Room was clean and comfortable Loud American guests. No consideration for others.
- Kristen (10/5): -
- Erik (9/5): -
- Stephen (9/5): Lovely in every way! - Super close to the beach. Beautiful room was set in a beautiful garden with hummingbirds and other birds flying around. Lovely swimming pool. Super breakfast and lovely staff.
- Astrid (10/5): - Fijne hartelijke ontvangst. Prachtig huisje, erg sfeervol en fantastisch bed!
Fijne douche.
Heerlijk eten en op een toplocatie aan Playa Bluff.
Er is een prachtige tuin waar we meerdere luiaards en prachtige vogels hebben gezien. Het personeel is erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
Wij gingen erg vroeg weg en konden niet ontbijten. De eigenaresse zorgde voor koffie en we kregen fruit. Voor onderweg kregen we broodjes mee en een granolabar.. wat een top service!! Dankjewel Betsy.
Een dikke aanrader.
- Sue (10/5): Perfect setting for a relaxing stay - Great location in a jungle setting a few yards from Bluff beach. Very comfortable bed, lovely rooms. Delicious food. Lovely staff. Enough beds and umbrellas for all guests by the pool. Nothing. All great.
- VIRGINIE (9/5): Magnifique - Hôtel incroyable. Tout est beau, les chambres, le jardin avec ses animaux sauvages (paresseux, grenouilles, singes hurleurs,colibris, oiseux…). Le restaurant est très bon et le personnels très gentil. L’emplacement qui finalement n’est pas le plus pratique : la plage en face est très dangereuse, même pour un surfeur, on ne peut pas profiter de la plage..Il faut un moyen de locomotion (scooter ou vélo électrique pour se déplacer car c’est loin de tout). Mais c’est un détail qui peut facilement se résoudre.
- Jorge (10/5): Excelente - Amplitud y limpieza Nada
- Toby (10/5): Extremely comfortable with delightful staff in a beautiful location. - Wonderful and clean with proximity to the beach and surrounded by the beautiful rainforest.
- Kearns (10/5): We'll be back - The hotel is beautiful. The staff helpful and friendly. The location breathtaking. The sea was very close and the waves were thundering.
- Sofía (8/5): Estadía inmersa en la naturaleza - Las instalaciones rústicas y cerca del mar Desayuno pobre y frío
- Iulian Goaga (10/5): Really beautiful accommodation - Right on the biggest beach of Bocas del torro! The garden was amazing, like paradise! Our room (Bamboo) was super clean (both the room and bathroom), clean towels,bedsheets. Breakfast was very good, with fresh fruits every morning. They have a nice pool as well. Wild fauna watched from your own room terrace was amazing! Bumpy road from the airport to the accommodation....and maybe they should do an upgrade to a professional coffee machine.
- Katharina (8/5): We had a good time! - Nice and spacious rooms, extremely comfortable beds, fine food, friendly staff. Nice gardens with lots of humming birds. Nothing really. We’d have appreciated some comfy sitting furniture on the terrace.
- Siobhan (9/5): Beautiful place in chilled location with everything you could desire. - I adored the location as you are by the beach and half in the jungle. It is just perfect. Betsy was a fabulous host and all the staff, Olivia, Arnaud and everyone else were also super attentive and accommodating. We didn’t have hot water for the last two days but it wasn’t a problem.
- Dustin (9/5): -
- Sophie (10/5): -
- sonia (10/5): Desondanks het lawaai echt de moeite waard - De mooie tuin - comfortabel bed - lieve mensen !! Er waren werkzaamheden bij de buren waardoor er gans de dag getimmerd en gezaagd werd
- Benavides (10/5): El mejor... - Super lindo todo las instalaciones y el servicio de lo mejor. La playa tenía un oleaje muy alto.
- Monica (9/5): Ein gelungener Abschluss für unseren 12-tägigen Weihnachtsurlaub. - Hummingbird ist ein sehr schöner Ort um zu entspannen und den wunderschönenen Playa Bluff zu geniessen. Die ewig langen Spaziergänge direkt ausgehend vom Hotel sind einfach unglaublich. Der Pool ist schön und gross genug, sodass man sogar richtig schwimmen kann. Das Restaurant ist lecker. Wir mussten leider schon um 7 Uhr früh abreisen. Es war ein bisschen schade, dass wir kein Frühstück/lunchpacket angeboten bekommen haben, sondern nur ein paar Bananen hingelegt wurden.
- Wayne (10/5): -
- Geraldine (10/5): Volveremos. - Es muy agradable, buenos anfitriones, la comida espectacular, frente a la playa y en general todo bien.
- Consuelo (10/5): Excelente hotel para descansar - El hotel está inmerso en un entorno muy natural y muy relajante. El personal fue siempre muy amable. La comida estaba muy rica y la habitación es muy cómoda. Recomendaría y volvería a quedarme ahí sin ninguna duda! Nada
- Valentina (10/5): Yay - Most comfy bed! Really good food and great location. Everything was amazing
- Jj (8/5): -
- Francesc (10/5): Maravilloso bungalow entre la selva y el mar (7 kilómetros de playa para ti solo) -
- Ignacio (10/5): Gran estancia inmersos en la naturaleza - Espectacular sitio en una ubicación idílica muy tranquila y dónde conectas con la naturaleza, todo fue excepcional, las habitaciones amplias y cómodas y el restaurante y el desayuno muy buenos, Betsy la dueña hace que te sientas como en casa y te ayuda a gestionar todo lo que necesites Que pidan propina para el personal de limpieza
- Lynda (10/5): Exceptional - The everything was more than expected! The grounds are so beautiful, the food and drinks exceptional and the staff! They made us feel like family! Casual, relaxed atmosphere where we fell asleep to the sounds of the waves and bird song.
- Tanya (10/5): I’d stay here again and recommend it! - We saw so many animals in the property. There was lots of nice outdoor seating options for relaxing, reading and hanging out. The food was great! The rooms were clean and comfortable.
- Vladimir (10/5): Exceptional -
- Madison (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful setting, the most amazimg stay. So peaceful and the staff/service was fantastic. Wish we never had to leave! Nothing
- Sonya (10/5): Exceptional - Best hotel in bocas del toro in isla colon. Everything was excellent!!!
- Karen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mitul (8/5): - Highly recommended – great location on the beach; a few mins drive from town but a real ‘off-the-grid’ vibe from those looking for peace & quiet. Room was good; lack of AC was not an issue for sleeping as it was cool at night (might be more of a concern if you were planning to spend time in the room during the day, but why would you in such a beautiful location?). Nice pool and pretty quiet the whole time we were there as there are only a few rooms/guests. Food for lunch & dinner was very good; if we had one niggle it would be the breakfast which was pretty basic and not geared up for vegetarians (one of us is vegetarian and was initially just offered toast for breakfast one morning). Olivia the manager was fantastically helpful when we had issues with a cancelled flight and were being given the run-around by the airline.
- David (10/5): Exceptional - Location, rooms & staff.
- Andris (10/5): Exceptional - The breakfast could be a little more varied and filling.
- Peter (10/5): A wonderful place with fantastic staff - We loved the location on Bluff Beach with a wild feel from the huge waves and jungle down to the beach. The room was gorgeous and opened completely to the front allowing an incredible view in the morning. The sounds of the waves crashing on the beach was a great way to get off to sleep. The bed was really comfortable and the room of a good size set back in the garden.
Breakfasts were very tasty and varied and the evening meals we had there were excellent although there are other very good choices near by.
Probably the best feature of the hotel was the staff ; so friendly and helpful with great service - all managed efficiently by Olivia.
A wonderful place to stay if you are looking for a peaceful stay near to nature. Nothing
- Alyssa (8/5): Very good - The setting is absolutely beautiful! The food is great, staff is friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our three-day stay.
- Marcia (10/5): Excellent place to stay in the Bocas! - Breakfast was great. We loved Porphie and Aaron( ? Spelling) who worked at the bar and restaurant. They were a great addition for the resort and we were happy to have met them. Great customer service by both of them. Thanks for making our stay special in the Bocas! Needs a comfortable chair inside the room
- Paul (9/5): Superb -
- Elisabeth (9/5): Great retreat - Wonderful personal, excellent food, beautiful and spacious bungalow with a very comfortable boxspring bed, great beach right in front of the house. Concerning the location you have to know that Bluff Beach is not a swimming beach and the road to hummingbird is a very bumpy dirt road
- Leon (10/5): Exceptional - Super nice location with very friendly staff. Wonderful animal noises and the sound of the sea. Nice to fall asleep, nice to wake up. Unfortunately we were only here for two nights, but would stay longer next time. Everything was very clean and the food was delicious.
- Andrew (10/5): Great boutique lodge in coastal jungle - Staff was extremely attentive and friendly. Room was large with a good bed. The hotel was great. We definitely had some surprises re the distance to town, (30 min cab ride one way) and beach that was not amenable to sit on or swim.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely place - Stayed in the one of the semi-detached bungalows. Very comfortable with an amazing view. Pool was lovely. Loads of Hummingbirds around so it warrants the name! The food in the restaurant was ok but not very memorable but there are 2 alternative options within walking distance - we only tried one which was much better. There's just one option for breakfast which did change every day. As there are no windows you and your neighbours can hear everything. Unfortunately we had a very loud couple next to us who kept on talking loudly every day and also till very late in the night. In the end we had to tell them to be quiet which worked only up to a certain level.
- Mollie (10/5): - Owners are very friendly and helpful. Staff was great. Room was awesome. Great beach. Saw monkeys. Will definitely come again.
- Josh (10/5): - Betsy and gary run an incredible hotel with stunning surroundings and excellent staff. They provided anything we needed. Great food for breakfast and dinner, a beautiful property to see all kinds of flora and animals, Including monkeys. They also were able to arrange transportation for us when our flight changed last minute. Couldnt recommend this place enough. Beautiful and comfortable.
- Ann-marie (10/5): Beautiful small hotel surrounded by tropical plants and wildlife - We loved our stay here. A very small and unique hotel set amongst lush tropical plants, flowers, hummingbirds and butterflies. We were also invited to "see a sloth before breakfast" - a real highlight of our trip! Our rooms were beautifully maintained with a wonderful view and very peaceful. The food was excellent - seared tuna and delicious salads. The owners were very helpful and had done a fabulous job in creating such a special place.
- Julie (10/5): Gorgeous location with great amenities - This beautiful property features custom woodworking, gorgeous landscaping and delicious food. We were lucky to see two female leatherback sea turtles on our guided beach walk. The hosts are gracious and attentive. We would love to return some day. No complaints
- Kimberly (10/5): Exceptional - fabulous stay, beautiful property immersed in nature . fantastic walking trails, wildlife all around and a beautiful property with lovely hosts. couldn't be happier with my stay. na
- Deborah (10/5): The Hummingbird is everything we wished for in a break away from our busy lives. - Everything about The Hummingbird was done well. We were made to feel very welcome from the initial contact on arrival in Bocas Del Toro. The gardens and room provided ample opportunity to slow down and enjoy all that nature offers in Panama. We had a much needed recharge during our stay and would return in a heartbeat. Absolutely nothing.
- Toni (10/5): - Gorgeous property within walking distance of a stunningly beautiful beach.
- Denise (9/5): Superb -
- Cynthia (10/5): Beautiful resort with lovely hosts on Bluff Beah - really cannot top this stay! - This was a super clean and beautiful property. The rooms are refreshed daily. They are minimalist but have everything you could need: beach towels, beach bag, cold pack, drinking water, toiletries, etc. the private porch has a swing chair and small table for eating. There was a beautiful pool, books, games, binoculars and more. The hosts were fantastic. Friendly but bit intrusive. They organized several taxis and outings for us. The location is perfect. Out of Bocas town and close to many jungle trails. The onsite restaurant was also delicious! We felt no need to go anywhere else during our 5 day stay. Nothing!
- Robert (10/5): A super experience in all ways - Super staff/owners
Fantastic location with the sound of crashing surf a wonderful background The pool needs four more lounges so each guest has one
- Wendy (10/5): Wonderful spot! - Betsy and Gary made us feel so welcome and we enjoyed chatting with them. The property is beautiful and just across the road from the beach which we had nearly to ourselves.The hammocks were also a nice place to hang out. Breakfast was nicely done and served to the table. A great place to stay for quiet and relaxation!
- Nicholas (7/5): Good - * Owners are very friendly
* Very good meal in the restaurant
* Nice setting * Very remote location
* No airconditioner
* Don't have a hairdryer available
* Too expensive for what you get
- Raquel (10/5): Wonderful spot - jungle and beach all at once. A wonderfully powerful beach and unforgettable nature - Beautiful surroundings at bluff beach. The property was fabulous and lush. The staff impeccable and ultra friendly. We will definitely stay again. Thank you No complaints
- Ellie (10/5): Don’t miss out on this incredible experience! - The Hummingbird is a stunning, peaceful and charming boutique hotel. The location right on the beach is so so special. The rooms are luxurious but designed to be in-keeping with their surroundings with huge ceilings, big beds and gorgeous terraces (we had a sea view too!). The attention to detail in the rooms is exceptional with beach bags, water bottles for the beach, and fresh filtered water.
Food at the hotel was amazing, we ate there both nights and loved everything - the coconut bread was unreal, ceviche yummy and the wine list was extensive, being able to drink Minuty on an island in Panama was very lavish :)
Oh and happy hour was all too tempting and included some snack dishes too.
The owners couldn’t do more for you and we’re always on hand to help with travel plans, activities (+ going out of their way to get some car keys back to us that were left behind)
I will be talking about this hotel in years to come, I would thoroughly recommend! Absolutely nothing! Maybe not staying long enough!
- Handley (9/5): Do not hesitate to stay here!!! Magical paradise. - Absolutely gorgeous in every way! Hard to put into words! The entire inn is beautiful. Our room was excellent and so comfortable. Bed was sooo cozy! 1 minute walk to pool, bar, and restaurant yet room and deck was so private due to the lush landscape.
Breakfasts were great! Something yummy and different every day, but always awesome fruit and coffee. The road out is cumbersome, but staying put for one entire day will make you forget that!!!
- Alejandro (10/5): What a wonderful stay full of nature, attention to details, friendlyness and Bluff beach right there - We went to The Hummingbird lodge as part of our second part of the trip to Bocas del Toro. We could not be happier to have chosen to stay at the lodge. Was an amazing place, service and location. Betsy and Gary are always attentive to the details and the wonderful staff always preparing delicious meals. The Bluff beach is right in front of the property so the sunrise and sunset walks are to die for. The rooms are impeccable, large and overlooking nature. We celebrated my dad's 85 birthday and it was a unforgettable time. The nature in an around the property is lush, full of life and invigorating. The sound of the waves makes it even more special. You sleep like a baby to that sound and the nice ceiling fans in each room. The lodge is off-the-grid so water is collected from the rain and energy is harvested with solar panels. We hope the area remains a nature-first concept and no big development is allowed around it. Bocas town is far enough for you to feel immersed in nature. The friendliness of the owners and staff are top notch. What an incredible stay! :)
Yes, there are hummingbirds all over the property all day long. Specially when you seat for breakfast and they are enjoying the nectar from the nearby flowers - So nice :) Nothinig at all :)
- Bram (10/5): Marvelous stay - Very friendly staff
- Katherine (10/5): - Betsy & Gary were the best hosts! They took pride and explained everything from day one at their jungle oasis. The rooms are jungle treehouses with howling monkeys, birds, and the sea crashing in. Their food is absolutely delicious and rotates daily with hip intl staff and guests you can't go wrong. 5 Stars from Brad & Katya. Just LOVE for The Hummingbird. xoxo
- Emily (10/5): Exceptional -
- James (10/5): Plan to stay a day or two longer! 😎 - The place was beautiful and functional, great food great location, the owners know everything about Bocas and to describe them as helpful would be an understatement, they really made this vacation the best. Not a thing.
- Helen (9/5): Superb - A variety
Responsive to requests
- Henning (10/5): Very nice rooms in the middle of the nature with everything needed. - Everything. Nice location to enjoy nature. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating.
- Juan (10/5): incredible place at the heart of the Caribbean! - Awesome! incredible location, fantastic place and wonderful personal! it’s a paradise where you would love to stay to explore the surroundings, savor the essential of a unique trip, enjoy a cocktail at the bar and taste the local food! Betsy and Gary will make it happen!
- Simon (10/5): blissful. it was blissful - tranquility with all the modern conveniences in an eco hotel and the ability to hear the ocean when you’re in bed
- Björn (10/5): Magical place to relax and enjoy nature’s wonders - The Hummingbird, an adults-only property, provides a serene, natural environment to relax and enjoy everything Bocas del Toro has to offer. Betsy and Gary are the most welcoming hosts who help with arranging excursions or sharing their knowledge of the surrounding area. I can recommend to stay at this property without any hesitation - we will be back for sure! N/A
- Igor (10/5): Exceptional - We stayed in the middle of the nature. Entire acommodation has created a symbiosis with nature. Good selection of wine, i also liked to have dinner there.
I could recommend for animal lovers. You can See near you monkeys, sloths, Iguana and a lot of Hummingbirds.
BETSY and Garry very nice hosts.
- Desmond (10/5): This boutique B&B provided an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was phenomenal, the service was -
- Andor (10/5): The most amazing place to experience the real Paradise - The Hummingbird is the real Paradise on Earth. When we travel we like to explore and experience as many things as possible, but it is also very important for us to have an accomodation with comfort and… I admit: luxury. I was curious if a bed and breakfast place can satisfy our needs, but it did, and it did much more. The Hummingbird was a much pleasant experience than the many 5star luxury resorts we stayed so far. Its beautiful garden is the garden of Eden with hummingbirds, sloths and a colorful carpet of thousand flowers. Our suite was super clean and extra comfortable with a breathtaking view of the garden and the sea (if we opened the balcony doors in the morning the sun did rise right in our bed). The place also has the best kitchen I experienced in a hotel so far with a fantastic breakfast and various choices for dinner made right there freshly. The menu changes daily. We also had a top10 massage experience in this beautiful environment. This amazing place has its soul and spirit from the wonderful hosts, Betsy and Gary, who are super-friendly and always smiling, and they helped us organizing any kind of activity we just wished for. Their whole team is just exceptional. So… this is a place everyone should visit! At least once. We for sure will come back again because we already miss The Hummingbird and the many wonders of Bocas del Toro. ❤️
- Lee (10/5): - A perfect oasis with great attention to detail - the team are dedicated to making your stay super special.
The rooms have been thoughtfully designed and the overall ambience is one of relaxation and unwinding.
The restaurant and food (quality and service) is second to none.
Would highly recommend this for a wonderfully peaceful and enjoyable stay
- Phillip (10/5): Excellent place to stay - We were a group of friends staying for 4 nights and we absolutely loved this place. Betsy and team were incredible, nothing was too much trouble.

- Tara (10/5): An amazing stay at the Hummingbird!! - We liked everything about this place. The rooms were large and very clean, the food was excellent, Gary and Betsy were super helpful and willing to book us tours and taxis. The beach was one of the best and we ended up being there during a time when it was completely swimmable. The wildlife was great, lots of monkey and bird sightings. Highly recommend, fantastic!
- Dennis (10/5): We cant wait to return! - Breakfast was delicious and always served with a welcome. The grounds and all of the facilities were beautifully kept and maintained. Everything worked! The rooms were beautiful and comfortable. The restaurant and bar were first class! The access road is terrible, but that helps with the privacy, so no biggee. Everything else was fantastic. Hope to return!
