VOI Tanka Village

Just returning from Voi Tanka Village and booked 18 nights in a Dimora Family Suite for 2 adults and 1 teenager. We did our research and thank you to many Trip Advisor reviewers, we planned and packed properly and arrived with very low expectations. We booked our suite in January directly from their website and emailed the hotel many times to get additional information. We also asked for an early check-in and late check-out and none of these were possible (high season, we assumed). Upon arrival, we waited over one hour in line to check-in. Not enough staff on a Saturday to deal with all the guests. People started to get very impatient and disappointed shouting in Italian so not quite the 4 star hotel welcome you would expect. However, this is how we felt about the whole experience: PROS: The grounds are well kept and cleaned but it is a HUGE resort so be ready to walk. - The Bell Boys bring your luggage in golf carts directly to your room. - There are several restaurants where to eat: Oasys is the main buffet which caters for everyone at breakfast, lunch & dinner. We only ate lunch there occasionally and it is basically an hectic canteen that caters for hundred of guests. The Mirto (free of charge for Dimora or Domus guests) is a buffet style restaurant, only opened for breakfast & dinner (closed at lunch), with a more sereine atmosphere but similar food to Oasys. The Pizzeria is free of charge for Dimora or Domus guests (paying for other room types) and it was quiet in August so a much better option for lunch than the overcrowded Oasys. The Poke & Burger restaurant is charged for all guests and absolutely disgusting. Burgers served cold in carboard boxes, no fries available and staff unpleasant. The Stella Di Mare (fish place) offers a discount rate for Dimora guests but we didn't try it. Other food options for younger kids were available to eat but we were not concerned. - The sandy beach is beautiful with clear sea water. Avoid paying for the loungers and gazebos. The prices are not worth it. Guests are on top of each other, glued like sardines. Instead, pack a small retractable parasol, bring your own beach towels and walk just 50 metres away from the crazy "private" Voi Tanka where you will find a beautiful, quiet sandy section area. Same place as paying guests but free of charge and empty despite the high season so the beach experience was so much more relaxing than the guests who paid a fortune to rent a lounger 10cm from everyone else. - The hotel has live bands and evening entertainments. We didn't try any of them but no doubt some guests like those. - The pool is cleaned and well kept. Lifeguards on site. No issue getting free loungers anytime we visited. Swimming caps are mandatory unless the Bar area (which sells them) is out of stock in which case the rule is lifted and everyone can swim "cap-free". It happened 5 times in 18 days. The pool closes every day between 1pm and 3pm. - The Piazza (main square) has a main bar

Visited this hotel 7 or 8 times - every year worst and worst and now its terrible. No respect for guest, u have to bring cash everywhere, no way to get a sunbed in a good place. Hotel is not adjusted for max number of guests - extreme croud everywhere. Staff don’t care about anybody, sport animators don’t even appear on sport areas. Hotel didn’t care about our transfer to the airport (despite they provided us a transfer a week before) - told us that’s not their problem. The only advantage is the great beach (ofc too small for 2 thousands guest) and the food. This used to me amazing hotel but now it’s pathetic - choose other

The resort is set on one of the most beautiful areas in the south of Sardinia. Check in might take time, depending on how many people there are and also because it takes time to explain everything since it's a big resort. Staff is very nice and friendly. I had a room in a bungalow, the size of it is very nice but it's very dated. There was only one outlet to charge anything, tv is small, there is no internet in the room!!! Guys it's 2023!! But the most annoying thing it was the issue with warm water: there is an electric boiler and if you use too much warm water, it takes hours to warm it up again. I had 2 cold showers: cakes the maintenance that pointed out that there was nothing to do if not waiting... the food is very good to be a big resort and it's well organized. The beach is very beautiful although it should be included, anyway it was written on all websites. I find the all inclusive very poor. They should include some drinks and snacks instead only the 3 meals are included. It's after all a good resort but not as good as some years ago when it was a very well known one. They need to work a lot and modernize many things

I had very low expectations when I book this hotel. I only wanted a beach front hotel! Voi Tanka is much more than that! The resort has good facilities, lovely staff and amazing food (a lot of variety and amazing quality) ! We were in a half board option and we cannot recommend enough the food! I wish I had gone full board. Our room was huge and perfectly cleaned every day but quiet outdated.

We had a great 2 weeks with the family at Tanka. Great food, a variety of sports activity during the day along with great entertainment around the different bar areas and the amphitheater. The sea is crystal clear along with miles of white sandy beaches. The boat trips were informative and fun as it was great exploring the wonderful coastline. The staff were helpful and google translate helped on many occasions…and the animation led by Marco Guidi was brilliant for everyone to see. We had a great time and will be back next year!

Nice holiday Pro: location, entertainment, food Cons: no daily cleaning of the room, too many kids, no Wi-Fi in room, charging for sunbeds and gym ? Really - no way!

Great sea , nice beach , good shops and restaurants and sports activities. Rooms can be improved as well as cleaning service. Wi-fi not working. Paying extra for services like Beach or even Gym wasn’t ideal.

The stay was overall nice, the food buffet was lovely and chefs and restaurant staff were amazing always smiling and helpful. Only disappointing that were the front office /reception staffs they were completely rude no manners for example my wife call them as them where to find ice creams places they hang up the line, we called them about the AC not working they never sent anyone to fix it , even in our final day we asked for someone to come and collect our luggage so we get in our taxi one hour later no one comes and we had to carry our luggage for mile to the taxi very disappointing to say the least. I mean it could have been the best experience if the receptionist were professional and had some sense for hospitality and manners
