Sardinia is lovely, great beaches, friendly and good climate. Tanka Village is a huge resort. Very clean, but basic. Not a 4 star hotel, this is based on its location, not on the accommodation. But this is normal from what I hear regarding star ratings in Sardinia. Ideal if you have children. Nearly 98% Italians, very friendly. Great beach and sea, but very, very busy. Take your own brolley and beach towels and walk to the left or right to the public beach. We were a couple and could not eat in main restaurant at night, too busy, so elected to eat in the Alacarte every night at extra cost. Very good food and clean. Tanka Village free town train too infrequent. Long walk to town in heat. Golf not part of hotel, and not a Spa as we know it in UK. The resort is also a convention centre, so quite a few delegates use the facilities. You have to load a card every day to pay for drinks, food. Would suggest you take plenty of cash/Euros, as the machine to load your card only takes cash, the ATM did not work. The holiday was a surprise for my husband and I was really disappointed at first, but gradually we got used to it and had a nice time, feeling rested at the end of it. I suppose it was a bit of a culture shock, as this resort was designed for Italian families. We went in September, towards the end of the Italian holiday season. We understand from locals it's even busier in July and August. The hotel is part of an Italian chain (ATA Hotels), my husband has stayed in their Milan hotel and was extremely pleased with the standard, it did not compare at all with Tanka Village Golf & Spa.
