In 1978 her dream came true and along with her English boyfriend created the Hummingbird House , in 1979 expanded to the beach front property the Hummingbird Resort was created, 1983 Joyce bought out her partners share of the Hummingbird and became the sole owner and has excelled ever since, in 1997 Joyce became the first hotelier to be honored with the prestigious award of “The Hotelier of the year”, today Joyce continues to run the Hummingbird as efficiently. Due to the fact that Joyce resides on the property her presence contributes to the ambience of the resort, Joyce enjoys pampering her guests to make their stay at the Hummingbird a memorable one. The Hummingbird Beach Resort is a beautiful and charming garden by the Caribbean Sea. The resort itself is the site of an old colonial-style mansion with views that take your breath away. |
