This is a simple, no-frills choice, but it does the trick at bargain prices and draws a loyal repeat business. It lies just off the main street, a 3-minute walk to the beach. Set in a steamy tropical garden, Tingum Village offers basic accommodations in small cement-sided bungalows. Each of the rooms has air-conditioning, ceiling fans, and a patio with plastic furniture, plus a small bathroom with a shower stall. Rooms aren't the most comfortable, and you'll really wish they'd improve the wattage in the reading lamps and that the ceiling fans wouldn't squeak. But it has its charming aspects as well. The cottage is meant for six to eight people, though it can hold up to 10 (but that would be very cramped).
The hotel's restaurant, Ma Ruby's, overlooks the garden and offers standard Bahamian and American food.
