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. The food was excellent (breakfast and dinner) and great cocktails! The rooms are amazing - never slept so well.

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

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.

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!

I had a wonderful 2 night stay at The Hummingbird. I stayed in one of the bungalows, which was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Betsy and Gary were very welcoming and made sure all my needs were met and exceeded. They arranged all my transportation as well as a boat tour around the islands. They were also very accommodating to my vegetarian diet at the restaurant. The food was delicious as were the drinks! I only wish I had stayed longer! Wonderful trip!

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

Mycket trevligt värdpar som bjöd på sig själv. När vi frågade efter mackor att ta med oss på promenader var det inga problem de fixade. Goda middagar. Trevligt poolområde. Vi är supernöjda.

inolvidable
hospitalidad, amplitud, buen gusto, calidez, relajación, buena atención, cordialidad, comodidad en camas y en general... es todo lo que un espera en un viaje. Gary y Betsy están atentos a todo y nos hacen sentir como en casa. Se lo han propuesto y lo han logrado. Felicidades por ello.

Wonderful place
Awesome. Incredible hosts and staff. Originally we were going to stay 5 days and move on but decided to stay another 5. We woke each morning to howler monkeys and wild parrots greeting the day. Food is great and the service friendly and attentive. We will be coming back. Place is off the grid but you really couldn’t tell other than no AC but the rooms have fans and we had no problem sleeping. Highly recommend Hummingbird

Great hosts in PARADISE!
The fact that this review is being written that far after our stay should tell you all you need to know about this stunning property and location. The memories and experience will last a lifetime. And don't let the logistics of getting there stand in your way. The trip is soooooo worth it! Gary and Betsy are the best hosts my wife and I have ever experienced and are there to accommodate the guests with anything they could ever need. The property and surrounding garden is its own little paradise. And the beach is STEPS away! Just make the trip and enjoy.

Oase im Garten Eden
Das kleine, feine Hotel liegt am schönen Bluff Beach und ist in den angrenzenden Dschungel eingebettet. Die geschmackvoll eingerichteten Doppelbungalows liegen inmitten tropischer Blumen und auf der Terrasse sind häufig Kolibris zu sehen. Die Terrassentür lässt sich über die komplette Breite öffnen, so dass man das Gefühl hat, mitten im Dschungel zu schlafen. Das Restaurant bietet leckere Gerichte, ist allerdings am Wochenende geschlossen. Gutes reichhaltiges Frühstück gibt es täglich und ist im Zimmerpreis enthalten. Host Gerry ist der Tierflüsterer und hat uns Faultiere, Affen und seltene Frösche gezeigt, Betty bereitet hervorragende Cocktails und Speisen. Ein super Angelausflug wurde für uns organisiert. Der lange Sandstrand eignet sich hervorragend für Spaziergänge zum Schwimmen nur bei wenig Wellen. Wichtig zu wissen: Das Meer ist nur wenige Schritte von der Anlage entfernt, aber es gibt kein echten Seaview vom Zimmer, Pool oder Restaurant-man hört es rauschen, sieht aber nur eine kleine Ecke Blau - hat uns am Anfang etwas enttäuscht, später haben wir die Flora und Fauna genossen.
