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!

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

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

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.

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!

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.

We had a fantastic stay at the Hummingbird! The staff and owners, Gary and Betsy, were all so lovely and attentive. The food for breakfast and dinner was a delicious high standard, and whilst ‘they don’t do lunch’, the bar snacks are more than big and tasty enough to keep you going in the day. The 4 villas at the Hummingbird are equally charming, with doors that open fully bringing the forest and beach into your room, and give you a great way to spot the many species all around (We saw sloths, monkeys, frogs, lizards, an agouti, hummingbirds, and a turtle whilst in the grounds or just outside on Playa Bluff!)

Hummingbird isn't for everyone. It's off-grid and out-of-the-way. But it's also out-of-this-world. The essential message is that Hummingbird is a wonderful, intimate place to unwind, commune with sloths (real ones), and fall sleep to the symphony of crashing waves. Highly recommended.

Fabulous oceanfront eco B&B
Betsy and Gary take special care with all their guests from the moment you arrive to to moment you depart. Cooked to order breakfasts, tons of birds, butterflys and nature to watch, super comfy rooms, ocean facing bar are just a few of the special things about this Inn. Worth the drive down the beach road for this experience!

Amazing stay with great hosts
Truely amazing stay at The Hummingbird. Betsy and Gary have really found an ideal spot on the Island and carefully built this place with cosy Bungalows in a beautiful garden with great views. Everything is thought through in detail and absolutely high end, including breakfast and dinner. Bluff beach is right on the doorstep and probably one of the prettiest beaches in Bocas, not always good for swimming though. If you want some days or weeks to relax, enjoy being in the nature and have no problems with being on the quieter Part of the island(s) this is the perfect spot. For us it was probably one of the most enjoyable hotel stays ever.
