“Wonderful stay!”

5 of 5 stars
Port Allberni, BC, Canada
8 Mar 2008

I read reviews and decided to trust previous travellers about this hotel. When I spoke to Linda and asked questions, I got such a good feeling that I immediately booked 2 rooms. Hummingbird is a cozy place, rooms were good. If you needed anything, all you had to do was ask. Paul & Linda (and Maxine) seemed to go out of their way to make our stay a positive one. The 4 of us stayed 1 week and were sad to leave since we had so much fun. The other guests were great and we all made a lot of new friends while we were there. 2 families had children and they would all play in the pool together. Paul is a wonderful cook. Some of my best meals in Tobago were at the Hummingbird. I really enjoyed the family atmosphere that let me lay back, chill out and enjoy. I had such a good time. When we had to leave, I was so sad to leave I cried. Thank you, Hummingbird! Love you guys! We'll be back.

“Value for Money”

The Hummingbird

23 Oct 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed for 2 weeks. We were well looked after and well advised. The hotel is not 5 star and neither did we want or expect it to be so. It does however represent very good value for money and is a bit of home from home in an exotic part of the world. It is a bit of a walk to the “town centre” and beaches. This is only a problem on the way back from a restaurant after a good meal and a rum punch or two. But taxis are cheap and Paul will give you a lift to the beach in the morning. One bit of practical criticism is that we could have done with a bedside table and reading light – but that is all.

“Good Budget Hotel”

The Hummingbird

16 Oct 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

We stayed in the slightly larger room with sitting area, tv and large double bed, which was good value at 65$ per night.
Read the reports on trip advisor and would mostly agree.
As we stayed for seven nights we received complimentary continental breakfast consisting of Cereals, toast and tea or coffee which was plenty to keep you going.
The room was cleaned every day and towels changed if necessary. Although there is a mini bar in the room , there are no tea making facilities or hairdryers.
The lifts from Paul to the nearby beachs was really appreciated in the heat. His cooking is great and probably the best value around.
They also have a car to hire which was very convenient at a good price.
The Island is not very commercialised and most people seem to be in bed early, apart from the weekends when all the locals in their cars with extremely loud stereos seem to be driving around.
I would recomend this budget hotel for a relaxing break, not too far from the beach.

“Pool and homely”

The Hummingbird

15 Sep 2007
4/4 found this review helpful

We were made so welcome, every question answered in such detail, with so much concern for us to make as much of our stay as possible. Enquiries about trips, were answered by arranging everything for us, with the best people, for the best price. It really isn't too good to be true. We will never forget the boat trip and snorkelling with the ray, loved the pool, and if there weren't so many other places to see would be straight back next year.

“Excellent Place!”

The Hummingbird

8 Aug 2007
4/4 found this review helpful

We stayed at Hummingbird in July and loved it! We had one of the rooms upstairs. It was beautiful, cool and clean. The location is excellent as it is only 10 minutes walk to the beach and major resturants. Paul & Linda were wonderful. We rented their car to take a drive around the island, which I highly recommend to everyone.
They have a mini resturant on the property. Paul is an excellent cook and you can order dinner with them. The cost is around $20.00 (US). Breakfast is not included in the price, so if you want breakfast it is about $5.00 (US) for breakfast.
We enjoyed our stay at Hummingbird so much that if we return we will definitely stay there once again!
