I could not agree with the reviewer GeeBee more - the Dunmore used to be a hidden gem where the staff knew you by name and did their best at accommodating you. The new owners and management simply do not care. I have been visiting Harbour Island for over 30 years and stayed at the Dunmore countless times and may never again.

I recently wrote the hotel to book a room for two nights this May of 2012, as two nights was all that was available for my desired time slot, and got a return reply from the manager saying that they would not allow me to rent for only two nights so I guess they lose out on a few thousand dollars due to the ignorance of the new management.

Truthfully, I am not sure why I was even going to stay their again anyhow as my previous stay several months earlier was mediocre at best. I arrived at noon and they even though the room was already cleaned and serviced they refused to allow me to put my bags in the room and get into a bathing suit to relax, instead we sat in the sun in jeans for an hour before we decided to use the restaurant bathroom to change and wash our faces. The old cook Ryan is no loner there either and the food shows.

All said and done, the property, location and beach are gorgeous, the renovations are definitely top of the line, and will not disappoint. Bottom line though - just do not expect to get any better service than your local truck stop, they will expect you to act privileged to stay with them. My two star rating is not for the accommodations it is for the owners and the staff that are there to make your stay enjoyable.

This will be an easy review - The Dunmore is amazing! We had a beach-view bungalow that was perfect for my family. Tastefully decorated. Immaculate. The property sits on the beach, has all you need (beach attendants take care of your every need). Nice pool, with outdoor but covered workout equipment adjacent. Restaurant is fabulous. And the bar was exceptional as well. Grounds are clean, and lovely. Perhaps best of all - the staff is as good as any resort I've ever stayed. Knowledgable, friendly, and empowered to take care of anything that needs taking care of.

Harbour Island, Bahamas is a wonderful destination (if you haven't been there..GO!), and The Dunmore is the best place to stay.

The Dunmore is a combination of both old-world charm and modern-day conveniences. It is beautiful in its simplicity. The new owners have done an excellent job of maintaining a Bahamian look and feel. The staff are warm and hospitable. Staying there, one feels like a valued guest at the home of an old friend.

We just got back from the Dunmore yesterday and I must say it was a wonderful experience. The property is beautiful. It looks exactly like it does in the pictures on the website. The customer service was excellent. Everyone was very friendly and on a first name basis with every guest.

Our room was very comfortable. I must say it was one of the most comfortable beds I have slept in in a while. The only comment I would make on the room is the size of the bathroom. We stayed in a standard room and the bathroom was a little small. Not an issue at all but I would suggest paying an extra $50 to upgrade to a deluxe room.

I want to comment on the breakfast since there has been some recent negative posts regarding this part of the service. The Dumore must have taken note of customer reviews because the breakfast was nothing like others have said. There is no continental breakfast anymore. Instead you have a choice of any entree, side and drink off the entire breakfast menu free of charge. They offer oats, yogurt, eggs, fruit and pancakes plus fresh juices so the menu is rather expansive.

We would definitely go back again. Overall a wonderful stay and worth every penny in my view.
