RODA BEACH HOTEL IN RODA, CORFU. Holiday taken in May '99. Very enjoyable. This hotel was comfortable and quite faultless. One thing my kids didn't like was that the 3 pools were all seawater rather than freshwater. The food was excellent, plenty of choice and being on H/B you could have as much as you wanted. The salads were especially good.
The entertainment team, well, sometimes they were a little dull, and unimaginative, the one night a particularly good greek singer performed, yet the bar was almost empty, probably already put off ny the resident animation team. There was an international feel, with quite a few german guests.
Our excursion to Aqualand was the highlight, it was so clean and inviting and heaps of fun.
Roda village was within walking distance and had a good selection of shops/restaurants/bars etc.
The only thing which I would say spoilt the resort and beach were the number of STRAY dogs allowed to roam around at all times.
They looked particularly menacing and dirty, and when walking back from the village at night they were frightening. My daughters were terrified of them - especially after they attacked the two lovely inflatable whales which the girls were playing with on the beach.
All we could do was watch helplessly while these dogs tore them to shreds.
