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.

I had such an authentic experience at Tingum Village on Harbour Island! The location is incredibly convenient, just a short walk to the beach, and the accommodations are clean and spacious, perfect for our family. Juanita truly made us feel welcome and at home. However, while the dining was decent, having more breakfast options would have been nice. Overall, great value for money for a family-friendly stay!
