If you want an authentic Bahamian experience, this is the place for you. We stayed at Tingum Village and had a wonderful time. The staff was so friendly and personable. We enjoyed getting to know the legendary Ma Ruby and her family. Our room was very quiet and cozy. It was also amazingly clean. We returned from the beach and... more

This was the best beach vacation ever and Tingum Village was so friendly, romantic and just great. We are definitely coming back!!! more

I just spent a week in Harbour Island staying at Tingum Village Hotel. I was one of a party of nine: two sets of parents, four children and one grandparent. We rented the cottage and a room. Overall, our stay was delightful and a real bargain, especially given that it was high season. As other reviewers have emphasized, the place... more

I cannot believe the other reviews. Our experience was TERRIBLE. The room was dirty, lots of hairs in the bathtub, no water pressure, AND the owner organized a wedding in front of our room which was filled with unbearable noise all day long (actually you could hear the music all over the island). Ma Ruby was very rude too. more

If you need anything...just ask...Juanita will... more

Almost five years ago my husband and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at Ma Ruby's on Harbour Island. Just tonight, I told my husband I thought it was the best VACATION we ever had. No phone, no TV in the room, no newspapers, just peace and quiet. The only noise was from a gorgeous rooster who came into the... more

Our very first visit to Harbour Island. Tingum Village was perfect for us..our room was large, well appointed and, as well, a large jacuzzi tub - the hospitality shown by Ma Ruby, Juanita and JJ was unbelievable. This is a very well-run family hotel and all the special touches are there for you (without every asking). They all truly want... more
