    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.

    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.

    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

    Wonderful personal, excellent food, beautiful and spacious bungalow with a very comfortable boxspring bed, great beach right in front of the house.

    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.

    Absolutely nothing.

    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.

    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.

    Absolutely nothing! Maybe not staying long enough!

    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!

    The road out is cumbersome, but staying put for one entire day will make you forget that!!!

    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.

    Nothinig at all :)

    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 :)
