Avoid by All Means!
Our family of five spent a week at Tanka, and it was the most disappointing hotel experience in over 20 years of traveling. Here’s a brief list of our grievances:
1. Food: The buffet had limited options with no waffles, pancakes, or custom omelets. Dinner choices were just one type of fish and meat with few edible pasta options, and staff struggled with English.
2. Pool: Guests must wear swimming caps, and the pool closes from 1 to 2 PM for no clear reason.
3. Sunbeds: You must pay for sunbeds and towels despite the private beach, costing around 200 euros for a week.
4. Payment System: The bizarre cash cards can only be used in some areas, creating chaos.
5. Hotel Animation: The loud entertainment made it impossible to relax at the beach.
6. Smoking: Smoking is allowed everywhere, including on the beach, which is inappropriate for a family hotel.
7. Toiletries: We received ineffective tablets instead of standard shower gel and shampoo.
8. Crowds: August was overcrowded with many children.
9. Staff Attitude: Staff were not particularly welcoming or friendly.
10. Water Policy: Guests can't refill water bottles, forcing us to buy bottled water.
On a positive note, the sea and beach are beautiful, and the rooms were relatively clean. However, these positives do not make up for the countless negatives. Never again!
