Comfortable Stay

I stayed in a Briland suite which was clean and included three AC units and a large fridge for our drinks. The suite was spacious and comfortable for my family. It truly made our stay enjoyable, especially with the hot water available for showers after a long day at the beach.

Delicious Dining

The dining experience at Tingum Village was good! The complimentary breakfast included fresh fruits and bagels, making for a light start to our beach days. The chef, Michael, prepared fantastic dinners, and the Johnny Cakes were a highlight I looked forward to on Wednesdays and Sundays!

Tingum Village offers a truly authentic experience on Harbour Island, with a welcoming atmosphere and accommodating staff. The rooms are comfortable, but there are some quirks like low water pressure and occasional training gaps in service. It’s conveniently located near the beach, and the dining options are surprisingly good. While it’s not a luxury resort, the overall value for money is quite reasonable for what you get.
