Fodor's Expert Review Hummingbird Beach Resort

Anse Chastanet Rd., Soufrière, Soufrière, Saint Lucia

Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.

Unpretentious and welcoming, this delightful little inn on Soufrière Harbour has simply furnished rooms—a traditional motif emphasized by four-poster beds and African wood sculptures—in small seaside cabins. Most rooms have modern baths; two rooms share a bath. A two-bedroom country cottage—with a sitting room, kitchenette, and spectacular Pitons view—is suitable for a family or two couples vacationing together. The Hummingbird's restaurant, Lifeline, is a favorite of both locals and travelers spending a day or more in Soufrière. Owner Joan Alexander Stowe (friends call her Joyce) has her batik studio and shop adjacent to the restaurant.
