Für ein 5-Sterne-Hotel hätten wir mehr erwartet. Der Boden um die Poolbar herum sah durch alte Flecken der Datteln aus den Palmen immer dreckig aus. Für den gezahlten Preis hätte ich zumindest die Softgetränke im Zimmer kostenlos erwartet, statt satte 6 Euro dafür zu verlangen. Überhaut sind die Preise viel zu hoch. Ein Cocktail, der im Martiniglas serviert wurde, kostete 18 Euro! Abendessenbuffet pro Person 65 Euro OHNE Getränke, viel zu viel, da könnten wenigstens Softgetränke und vielleicht ein Tischwein inkludiert sein. Frühstück war jeden Morgen das selbe Angebot. Hier kennen wir es auch aus 4-Sterne-Hotels, dass es auch z.B. 1 Glas Prosecco zur Selbstbedienung gibt - hier leider nicht. Das Abendprogramm (Musik) war immer zu laut für den kleinen Bereich und die Anzahl der anwesenden Gäste. Im Zimmer haben uns Haken zum auslüften getragener Kleidung gefehlt, auch auf dem Balkon wäre eine Schnur oder ein Wäscheständer für die nasse Badekleidung schön gewesen. Sogar in unserem jetzigen 4-Sterne-Hotel gibt es einen kleinen Wäscheständer auf dem Balkon! Wir werden leider nicht noch einmal kommen.
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.
