Hummigbird Hotel, Store Bay, Tobago 24 Oct 2004
Glyn Jones from Berkeley, England
We have just returned from staying at the Hummingbird (14 to 21 October 2004). This hotel certainly live up to their motto 'Arrive as strangers, leave as friends'.
My wife and I booked our stay at the Hummingbird on the strength of this motto, the reviews on we had read and the impression made from the moment we started dealing with them.
I can categorically say we were not disappointed. They are a friendly and helpful family. It may seem trite, but it is certainly true. They are not 'in your face' if you want to join in, you can, if you want time on your own, you've got it. The food and service are very good – don't go here if you worry about putting on an extra pound or two. Shane's roast beef and Yorkshire puddings are excellent and, rightfully, gaining a huge reputation AND to top it all, the price of the beer is the cheapest on the island.
If you want to go somewhere – it can be arranged for you. If you want to go to one of the near by beaches, just ask for a lift and as soon as they can they take you there and arrange a time to pick you up if you want. Well, I could go on but the rest, I suggest, you find out for yourself. Glyn and Jo Jones, UK.

Hummingbird Hotel 04 Aug 2003
K Howe from Georgia, United States
The Hummingbird Hotel was the best accommodation I have experienced in quite a long time. The warm family who runs this intimate, beautiful hotel (three generations under one roof), took personal responsibility for my friend and I having a fabulous and adventurous vacation. They not only arranged successful tours for us on Tobago, but even hooked us up with a driver and tour guide in Trididad.
I appreciated the interest that they took in my life and the fact that they seemed to truly enjoy running their estabishment. Everytime we returned from dinner or from an adventure, they were there to greet us and chat with us about our experiences. They went above and beyond their roles as hosts and I consider it a great stoke of luck to have found the Hummingbird.
Our vacation would not have been what it was if we hadn't stayed there at the beginning of our trip and I very highly recommend this lovely hotel to anyone travelling in Tobago. It is a relatively new place and it deserves all the guests it can get.
All the best,

If you're looking for a nice place to stay on Tobago I can recommend THE HUMMINGBIRD HOTEL in Crown Point. I stayed there for 10 days with a friend of mine and we felt at home from the first day ! It's a small hotel run by a very nice and friendly family. 'Arrive as strangers, leave as friends' is not just a slogan there. They try to help you with whatever you're planing. They organize cars, tours, flights and give you very useful tips what to do and what to see. They offer a shuttle service to and from the beaches and the airport.
The hotel is near to the airport and the two beaches Store Bay and Pidgin Point. There are some bars and restaurants near by but they have a nice restaurant at the hotel as well (with excellent food).
I enjoyed my time there very much and I think our holidays wouldn't haven been such a success without the help of these people !
