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

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!

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!

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 :)

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.

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

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

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!!!

The location along Bluff Beach Road is fantastic, it takes a bit to get there but it is well worth the trip. The facililties are beautiful and the attention to detail is impeccable. We were so impressed with our accommodations, wonderfully appointed and very romantic. We woke one morning to the howler monkeys and I was able to take incredible photos of them in the massive tree on the property right from my bed. Gary and Betsy are wonderful hosts, the gardens are incredible and the meals served in their restaurant are amazing. I had the best beef tenderloin there that I have ever had. They were also very helpful in arranging tours for us and making dining recommendations for lunch along the beach and in Bocas Town. It was also great that they knew our host for our next stop, gave us peace of mind as we continued our journeys.

There was absolutely nothing we didn't like and we loved. I had hoped to spot a toucan as I love birding and nature. Gary went out of his way to try to sight the regulars for me to no avail. He was more concerned than I was, even asking if I wanted to delay taxi to the airport in case they showed up. However for me, I accept nature on natures terms. Who could complain, I saw sloths, capuchin and howler monkeys along with the most gorgeous humming birds and a wild beast named Osa (lol) all on their property and I have returned home with loads of pictures and lots of wonderful memories.

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. ❤️
