Staying at the Hummingbird is a truly wonderful experience! Small, only 10 rooms, on the beach with a breathtaking view, with a great staff, comfortable, airy rooms, fabulous food, VERY affordable price, and more hummingbirds than you can count!
This was our THIRD time at the Hummingbird (a week each time) and we can't wait to return.
The rooms are pretty, well kept, clean and comfortable- no air conditioning, but we didn't need it- the cool breeze, supplemented by floor and ceiling fans kept us plenty cool. Sitting by the pool or in the dining room, enjoying the beautiful view, the cool breeze, the great food, and the hummingbirds, has been one of the most relaxing experiences we've ever had. The nearby town of Soufriere is a small working town, not a resort town- there is very little tourist shopping- but we enjoying strolling through the town in the evening, talking to the people, who are all very friendly, and dining in the local restaurants- you must go to Archie's for their creole cooking!
The staff at the Hummingbird are all very friendly, attentive, and helpful- they really want to make our stay pleasant. David, the chef, can REALLY cook! The owner, Joan Alexander sees to it that you are made to feel at home. They all make us feel so special!
We scuba dived at nearby the Anse Chastenet Resort, but you can snorkel or scuba from the shore at the Hummingbird (they can get you set up with a dive shop nearby). Near Soufriere, a 30 minute walk from the Hummingbird, is a beautiful botanical garden with Diamond Falls, and a dormant volcano with bubbling mudpits is just a short drive away.
So much to talk about- you must go there and experience it yourself!
