Pecking House, Corfu

Advantages: Cheap, good atmosphere
Disadvantages: Old and in need of a tidy up

...Coral Hotel, Roda Corfu INTRO Not knowing where to go for hols this year we decided to convert our Tesco vouchers and go for a free holiday. The one place that always seemed to come up was the Corel Hotel in Corfu. All the pictures and info on the net pointed to a good family run hotel in a nice area of Corfu. LOCATION The hotel is situated on the outskirts of RODA which itself is about an hour and a half from Corfu Town and the airport. The hotel itself is literally a small stones throw from the beach. Alas that's a pebble beach but its still right on the sea. When we arrived I was pleasantly surprised at the location. There's about a 10 mile stretch of water between Corfu and the mountains of Albania. Stick all of this together and you have nothing short of a fantastic location.

...I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep this op on the subject of the island of Corfu, mainly because of the goings on in our holiday accommodation, but I'll try.

Advantages: Great all-round Family Holidays
Disadvantages: N/A

...If you want an amazing family fun-filled holiday then this is the place to go. Myself, my husband and two children went there in August of last year. The journey from the Airport was around an 1 1/2 hours, but it was scenic and not to much of a strain. On arrival, the booking in was quick and straightforward and they were very welcoming to us, giving us maps of the Corfu Plaza, welcome packs and other literature to explain the whole scenario to us. The entrance itself was very large and very grand, comprising of a large seating area, a large bar, telephones and information points, and a great deal of brouchures on the resort itself and outings we could take whilst there. Everything Thomsons had stated in their brochure was spot on with a few hidden extras on arrival. On entering our one-bedroom apartment we were amazed at how... Read review
