Tingum Village was a great stay on Harbour Island - the owners were extremely friendly and very helpful! Rooms were air conditioned and comfortable/spacious. It was also nice to have no TV - very relaxing.

Hi,

We stayed at the Tingum hotel for 5 nights and loved it. Ma Ruby and Wanita were the perfect hosts and made our stay really enjoyable.

The hotel is located less than 5 minutes away from the pink sand beaches and can organise eveything you may need on the island.

Although this is not a 5* hotel what they lack in the latest appliances they make up in service and attention to detail.

p.s. You must have one of Ma Ruby's homemade burgers... damn they are good!!

After taking the California Bar exam in July, me and two buddies decided to go down to Harbour Island for a week of relaxation. Harbour Island is a quaint little island with friendly people and home to perhaps the best beach in the world, Pink Sands. Being a student, cost was a big factor in chooisng accomodations, and Tingum Village was reasonable. I found Tingum Village to be cozy and clean and their staff was very welcoming. The location was great too, as the beach was a mere 5 miutes walking distance. If your on a budget but want to visit the expensive Harbour Island this is great choice, definitely not upscale but very cozy.

If you aren't a fan of the 1000 room resort then Tingum Village in Dunmore town is the place for you. Tingum village is a variety of rooms and cottages, nestled against the ridge that runs down the island. You can dine at the resturant at Tingum and enjoy Ma Ruby's famous "Cheeseburger in Paradise". The menu is all local foods cooked in the traditional style. My favorite is the conch, a giant snail like creature. There are many local places to eat and shop on the island. Walking around you will meet and see the people of the Bahamas in their world. Friendly, wonderful people in a beautiful island setting, who could ask for more. There are several dive shops on the island and many beautiful dive sites around, including the well known "Current Cut drift dive" and the devil's backbone reef which abounds in wrecks. I have been here four times and as I am getting to know more of the locals, my visits just get better and better. Tingum Village made my stay ideal as the only noise I heard is the breeze through the palms and the chanticlaire roosters in the morning. A most rewarding place to visit.
