VOI Tanka Village

We spent a few days at Tanka Village as a family, and overall, it was a very good experience—especially for those traveling with young children. Arrival & Location: Check-in was quick and smooth, and we reached our room in no time. Our room was located in a hallway that served as a bit of a passage, which made it slightly noisy at times. However, the central location was very convenient—it was right near the main square (piazzetta) and just a short 10-minute walk to the beach. Family & Baby-Friendly Facilities: This resort is extremely baby-friendly. The “Biberoneria” service was a highlight—it had everything needed for babies aged 0 to 3, including free formula, diapers, snacks, and freshly prepared baby meals served three times a day. Parents can enter freely and get what they need, which was a huge plus for us. Food & Dining: The food at the Oasis restaurant was truly excellent. There was a great variety of fruits, vegetables, and desserts every day. We also appreciated the free wine and beer, and the overall quality and variety of the meals made dining a real pleasure. The all-inclusive formula worked really well for us. Beach & Activities: The beach is beautiful, with crystal-clear water and plenty of activities throughout the day for both adults and kids. That said, sunbeds and umbrellas are not included and must be paid for separately, which feels a bit off for an all-inclusive resort. Rooms & Cleanliness: The rooms themselves are a bit dated and could use some refurbishment. Housekeeping came once a day, but the sand wasn’t always fully cleaned, and the overall standard was just okay. Small details like having to pay a €50 deposit for a proper hair dryer, or €2 to wash towels, and daily towel rentals for the beach, added some unnecessary hassle. Facilities: One disappointment was the gym, which closes during lunchtime—something that seems unnecessary and limiting in a resort setting. --- Overall: Despite a few service-related downsides, Tanka Village is in a fantastic location, offers excellent food, and is wonderfully equipped for families with young children. With some small improvements, especially on the facilities and service side, it could easily become an outstanding choice for a relaxing family vacation.

It was overall a bit strange. The room itself was nice and comfy so it gets at least 3 stars. The stupid rules they had made it less like a relaxing vacation and more like a 3rd-world vibe. You are forced to use a cash card and you can only deposit cash in it. You can use credit cards to deposit but only at the reception. If you get there late and want to add cash after 10pm you will have to wait until 3am because they close their payment machines from 10pm to 3am! You have to pay $5 euros per person each time you use the gym. To get a beach towel, you are forced to put a $10 euro deposit per person which you’ll get back when checking out. Each towel change costs $2. The property itself is massive and is mainly good for people with kids. The buffet was like the hunger games. Getting a table was a struggle and immediately puts you in a stressful mood before you even dine. The food is below average. The eggs at breakfast (all types) are ice cold and not appetizing. Overall, a very mediocre stay that we’d never want to repeat.

It is very clean and safe. You have everything you need and want to do here.
