| said: I have been to Roda 3 times now and so knew what to expect from this holiday really. So this is for those of you who have not been to the resort yet and for those thinking of going to the Roda Oasis Hotel =) (NB: This is a long and thorough review!)
Kerkyra Airport (Corfu Airport) is very hectic and disorganised in a quaint and wonderful way - whether you are arriving or homeward bound! Be prepared to wait =) Oh and a word of advice – when you are going home – wear a hat! You could be queuing outside the airport for a little while and the pigeons do like to err… fly about a bit and do a spot of target practise while you wait in line!
The bus trip to Roda is quite a trek - and may take up to 2hrs (depending on how many drop-offs), and this can take its toll on travelsick sufferers and children. However, if it is daylight when you are on the bus transfer, you do see some very beautiful views!
The resort is lovely - quiet, calm, no clubs; a beautiful place to relax and unwind. There are a few lovely walks you can take and for the fit of us - Acharavi (neighbouring village) is only 3km away.
The beach in Roda is muddy sand with shingle, very narrow with shallow waters, so if you are primarily going for a sandy beach - this is not the resort for you - Paleokastritsa or other west coast resorts will suit you better.
If it is a bit of nightlife you desire - again Roda may not be for you. Sidari a few km away is a lot more lively and destined to become the new Magaluf or Kavos resort - basically if you can't live without a MacDonalds and enjoy clubs - Sidari is more what you want! =). In fact, place a large tower there and you could mistake it for our own Blackpool!
The Corfiot people in Roda are very friendly (and not in a creepy ‘you like my boat?’ type way either). Honest, hard working people who appreciate the effort you make when trying to speak Greek - so do try! - Yamas=cheers, Kali mera = good morning, ef karisto = thank you.
Now onto the hotel itself! :
We booked on a B&B basis and arrived at the hotel around 10pm on a Friday. (It would have been earlier but our holiday rep took a party of people to the incorrect hotel and had to sort that out first!)
As previously noted from other reviews - Costas greeted us at the hotel and you have to hand in your passport to him for 24hrs. Apparently this is normal for registration purposes – but I also believe that they may also be used as a ‘putting names to faces’ tactic whereby they flatteringly remember your name…something that previous reviews have applauded on ;o). Costas then showed us to our rooms. We were in room 25, small but very clean and tidy and quiet - except for the birds! My goodness they had a LOT to sing about during our stay - and NEVER let up! I am not sure what type of birds they were but they made their nests in the decorative roofing tiles all along the building and so affected most rooms!
I would also like to stress that although the balcony we had was fantastic – the steps leading to the upper rooms get VERY slippery. As are the rooms are themselves – my daughter fell badly the first day we were there. The floors do get some getting used to. Luckily she only had a bruise and a bit of a shock – and learned the hard way to walk with a tad more care!
There is both a fridge and air-con in the rooms - But be warned of charges for these: Fridge on = 5 euros per day and air-con = 7 euros per day - which I suspect may increase in July and August. I think these costs are quite expensive, and regardless of who tells you that it could be the electricity that is more costly on the island, that is definitely not the case. Safety deposit boxes cost 5 euros per week per box at the hotel, which is ok and handy, but they are FREE in town at say NSK travel, or HN Travel in the Roda resort and just as secure.
I cannot fault the maid service - they were excellent. This is possibly the cleanest place I have ever stayed! The entire hotel is meticulously clean and tidy. No sooner do you put down an empty glass – and it is gone, and cleaned away. . .
Breakfasts – if you are half board or B&B as we were you do get a free continental breakfast. We did think, however, that this meant a table of cereal to help yourself to, and breads, hams cheeses etc to basically get as you pleased – as most places have. Here, this is NOT the case. A continental breakfast includes 2 slices of ‘toast’ or warm bread really, a slice of ham and a slice of cheese, orange juice, a sachet of butter and jam, and a pot of tea or coffee. If you opt for tea – you get ONE teabag – which most people re-used to get a second cup from, as if you ask for another pot of coffee or teabag or extra toast/warm bread etc – I think you may have to pay.
You can, however, choose to have a full English breakfast at 40% discount – 3 euros instead of 4.50 euros – and you get one sausage, one bacon, 2 egg, beans and tea/coffee/toast…but in town you can get TWICE that for 2 to 3 euros.
The bar area is nice but can get cold on an evening (esp. May and June) as the doors are never closed. This may also incur noise to several rooms – but our room did not suffer. The drinks and food at the hotel are much more expensive than anywhere else we encountered, even if it is convenient. It is 1.70 euros for soft drinks, (small glass) such as Sprite or Cola and 5 euros for cocktails. In the town itself it is usually only 1.50 euros for soft drinks (bottles of) and 3.50 euros for cocktails – Crusoes’ Bar has a large choice there on the seafront – lovely and happy host and quizzes on nightly. My advice is to pay as you go with drinks from the hotel bar as many people seemed to sober up quite quickly with shock when receiving their tab bill at the end of the night! Long gone are the days of the drachma by crikey!
On Saturdays there is ‘Greek Night’ – 20 euros per head, which according to previous reviews is more than last years 12 euros! - But well worth it! Entertainment included plate throwing, dancing, and they involved the children as well as the grown ups. The food was good too – several courses such as tzatsiki (garlic/sour-cream dip with bread), feta cheese salad, then a main course (kebab, pork, chicken, moussaka etc) of which we had the pork chop which was massive and delicious! Then you get glazed slices of apple on cocktail sticks to nibble on whilst the entertainment begins. There is red and white wine included too (soft drinks for children) but be sure to raise your jug for refills before 10pm when the free wine ends =). Greek Night was well worth the money and places can be limited. I must stress, however, that it is preferred that you wait to be seated as Costas seemed to have created a seating plan and appeared displeased when people started sitting ’willy-nilly’and not where he had obviously pre-arranged! This resulted in people being moved and him being miffed for a min or two! Bless him!
There is usually entertainment every night at the Roda Oasis – such as Karaoke, Pop quizzes, General Knowledge quizzes and Bingo. Personally, although these evenings are usually fun, and also a great way to meet other people staying at the hotel, I think it a shame that we encounter so much Brit culture in a Greek resort. That is another reason why Greek Night was the highlight of my time at the hotel. Why travel to Greece to experience the same past-times such as Bingo like we have here in the UK?
Outside there is a safe pool area with plenty of free sun-beds. The pool is not very big but adequate. However, there is also a lovely small, shallow pool for toddlers, which is nice. Again there is a drinks bar and snacks available – but as I said already – costly in comparison to other places in my opinion. There is the Roda Blue en route to town a mere 20 yards away, which looked lovely but as it was the start of the season it was empty. And a further 20 yards past that on the opposite side of the road is the Pegasus – which is a fantastic 1st class hotel where you can use the pool and it is gorgeous! I would highly recommend you visit or even stay there as the pool is far superior to the Oasis and the drinks and food much more reasonable without any harassment whatsoever. The barman there, Spiros is extremely polite and welcoming to all!
I must also point out that the Roda Oasis, does NOT have a Kid’s Club, and although there are pool tables for teenagers there is very little for the younger ones if it is poor weather. Also it is a much longer walk from the resort as specified, about 12-15 minutes. Plus there is no path and you are walking on the main road most of the way which can be hazardous if there are several of you – esp. children. ‘Right’ definitely seems to be ‘Might’ across there, road safety wise and cars/lorries/motorbikes fly past frequently on that busy main road into Roda. Moreover, at night, it is inadequately lit so although it is pretty safe, be cautious walking alone in the dark. After the first few days we got used to the hike into town and it was very pleasant albeit longer than the brochure stipulated =)
On your first day at the hotel – you are invited to the rep. meeting (which I attended). The information he gave was factual yet not very helpful (lucky I know the resort well as no map of the town was given just the island! I actually drew a few for some guests!) The excursions he tried to sell were very over-priced, and he never mentioned any of the local buses that were available. There is no rep-office as I have been used to in the past, whereby you can pop into town and see them if you have a problem/query as now they turn up at designated times (see the info board at the hotel for when he is next avail) which I found disappointing and erratic. He was very polite, however, and you cannot blame the guy in trying to earn his commission, but I was glad I knew the resort well enough to know I could get a better deal in town.
For excursions such as to Corfu Town shopping or boat trips etc I highly recommend HN Travel on the road into the resort or at the ‘triangle’ in Roda. (Once you have a map of the resort - the triangle will be explained!) The lady there Julia is very helpful and has been there over 20 years – so she knows her stuff. The prices are about 8 euros for a return coach to Corfu Town, which is very reasonable, (air-conditioned buses) and approx 23 euros for the glass bottom boat trip in Paleokastritsa. NB: That several shops close in Corfu Town between 12noon and 3pm for a siesta, and it is only the tourist trade orientated ones that remain open between those times. In some cases the coaches can collect you from the hotel – so do mention where you are staying to see if that would be an option! =). Also, there is NSK Travel further down the high street and a lovely lady (forgotten her name! Sorry!), and she also has great deals on excursions for different days there too. Children 4-12 fares are usually half price and under 4’s free.
Now onto food! Due to costs I did not try the hotel’s menu except for the Greek Night – where it was superb! In town I enjoyed meals at the Panorama (just passed HN Travel on the high street) and excellent value for money and nothing was any trouble. Some meals come in sauces (pork shops etc) and when I asked for them plain – it was not a problem – just ask and they should be able to meet your requirements. Also I recommend The Roda Park Inn also near HN Travel (down the triangle =)) where Costas (different Costas!) makes you feel very welcome and chats to you as if you were a long lost friend. The food there is excellent! If you like lamb you MUST try their Kleftico – and prices there are very reasonable! We had 2 meals, 3 soft drinks, and a desert and it came to less than 17 euros! (Omelette and chips = 2 euros!) And the atmosphere was fantastic! Plus as it gets cold on an evening they have patio style heaters they will put on for you.
Shopping – unfortunately it is turning slightly tourist orientated now. . .not quite Blackpool seafront – but you can sense it is heading toward that. Most shops sell the same items so if you think one is expensive – walk about and you should find the same item elsewhere cheaper =). There are quite a few chemists and a doctor if, heaven forbid you should need one – all very accommodating, but beware of prices – small treatments/sprays for mosquito bites and prickly heat can set you back about 10 euros – so try to be prepared and take some preventative items from the UK if you can =)
When you are due to leave – a notice is posted on the info board at the hotel the evening before which lets you know what time the transfer bus will be collecting you and the time you need to vacate your room (which is usually 12noon). If you need to hold your room until after that time the charge is 20 euros (another hidden extra I’m afraid)!
Nikos and Costas were very friendly hosts and have obviously put in a lot of effort in the hotel and its apartments. They are obviously there to make a profit – perhaps a tad too obvious but they are business men afterall! There is also a lovely lady who works with them called Marion. She is English and worked like a trooper! If you have any problems or queries I would go to her, as she was very approachable and friendly.
As I travelled on a budget I must admit that I felt reluctant to spend too much time in the hotel bar and felt uncomfortable going there to sit just to chat. Those that were fortunate to spend vast quantities of money at the hotel, in the bar etc, appeared to be more likened by the hosts and were noticeably welcomed more heartily in the hotel. But I did meet many wonderful people during my stay and if they are reading this I wish to send them all the very best and let them know that they made my holiday more memorable. Christine & Ernie (You have been in our thoughts), Kathryn & Jason (hope to hear from you soon), and Mary & Tony (Glasgae!) among others – it was a real pleasure meeting you all x x x.
On a final note – I must stress that I enjoyed the holiday – as I adore Roda. I love its charm and its picturesque landscapes (even when it rains – and it does you know!) It literally wrenches my heart when I leave. How I held back the tears after saying goodbye to our newly made friends, and stood alone outside the hotel waiting for our bus to take us back to the airport – I do not know. Even though the west coast of the island has nicer beaches (Pelakas, Glyfada, Paleokastritsa) and even though the transfer from the airport is nearly 2 hours opposed to only 1 hour at some resorts (Dassia, Ipsos, Kalami) – I always find myself going back to Roda, and I probably always will. . .
The hotel was lovely, the hotel staff excellent and the room pristine. Nevertheless, due to its location, high food/drinks prices, insufficient breakfast and other expensive hidden charges – regrettably, I don't know if I shall be staying at the Roda Oasis in the near future.

| said: This was our third visit to this hotel after a last minute booking 3 years ago and we return each year. It is possibly the cleanest hotel that I have stayed in.
The staff are wonderful.
This time we opted for half board and we were not disappointed food as always was excellent.
Entertainment was the same low key but OK.I would say that this hotel would not be to everyones liking, if you want lively entertainment and lots to do during the day then this is not the place for you,also there are only a few bars etc in the town. If you want a busier resort then Sidari would be more suitable. However if you want relaxation in peaceful surroundings then Roda Oasis is just that.
We are already going back in September this year for 2 weeks.

The accommodation is very clean and could not find fault with the rooms.
Continental breakfast consisted of 2 toast with ham and cheese, jam, tea-coffee and orange juice, you could order a cooked English breakfast for an extra 3 euro's, (but if you walked into Roda there were English breakfasts at some restaurants for as little as 1 and 1/2 euro's)
The shops and beach are about a 10 minute walk from the apartments.
On the whole The Roda Oasis is a clean, friendly and laid back hotel and we would return there for future holiday's.

| said: Roda Oasis Synopsis
In Brief
For:
• Well run
• Clean
• Friendly Management & Staff
• Regular maid service
Against:
• Room size
• Distance from town
• Distance from beach
• Bar & Restaurant prices higher than town
• Hidden charges
o Fridge
o Air conditioning
o Excessive charge for room retention on last day
o Pool shower room locked on changeover day
• Nothing for children if raining
Location
Situated approx five – ten minutes walk from Roda on a main road without sidewalks, and a further five – ten minutes to the beach
Arrival
We arrived at the Hotel Roda Oasis for a two week stay on a B&B basis in the early hours on a Tuesday morning to be greeted by the two owners Costas and Nicos. The two brothers made us welcome then Costas showed us to our rooms.
Accommodation
The rooms were clean but very small with little space to move especially as we had one of our grandchildren in the room with us. Room sizing was approximately 3M x 4M, with a double bed, camp bed two small bedside cabinets and a dressing table in it. In the entrance there was a small wardrobe giving little room for clothing & cases.
The hotel was well managed with the brothers spending long hours ensuring all was running smoothly. With a maid service each day except Sunday everywhere was kept clean and tidy.
Bar & Restaurant
There were two bars – the pool bar during the day and the main bar & restaurant from 7pm. Both bars sold food and drink however the meals were smaller and prices were, in some cases, a lot dearer than their counterparts in the town.
Staffing
This part of the service was very hard to fault. Both Costas and Nicos make you feel welcome and they had the ability to remember everybody’s name and to greet you each time they saw you. Another exceptional person who makes you feel welcome is Marion, an English lady who was there from morning until night with only a short break in the afternoon.
Entertainment
Entertainment is minimal, of an evening quiz’s etc take place from about 10pm and Bingo one night in the week.
Saturday is Greek night with a meal and dancers for €12 per person
Satellite TV is in the main bar & restaurant, however it is mostly on sports channels. The main bar and restaurant has a pool table in a side conservatory for use of an evening or if it is raining and the poolside bar has two computer games and a pool table for use during the day.
Hidden Extra’s
There are quite a few of additional charges to be wary of:
• Fridge in room €5 per day
• Air conditioning €7.5 per day (however, not on during the day i.e. night only)
• Room holding fee (last day) €40
• Shower room locked changeover day unless €3 per person for shower + €3 per person for use of towels
Conclusion
Roda Oasis is a well run Hotel where you can relax and it appears to get a lot of visitors returning each year, however, it does not have many facilities for children.
Due to the location it isn’t really suited to people with mobility problems.
Remember to add the extra costs to your holiday if you want air conditioning & fridge (approx £8.56 per day based on £1.00 = €1.46).
Although the service is 4 stars, the accommodation is only 2 + stars (due to size). If the extra costs are added to the holiday, a higher star rated accommodation is better value for money

I thought the hotel was very clean and the pool was an okay size it also has a chute and diving board and bar near the pool. It is in an ok location beacause you can get to Roda in no time :D
Our room was great and breakfast was ok as well. I felt Marrion does most of the work and she should get less because she is a lady, but the hotel was good and we had a Greek night on the Saturday and it was so fun. We were all dancing and smashing plates and we had a tradtional greek salad and greek food. I enjoyed it!

Continental breakfast consisted of 2 toast with ham and cheese, a sachet of jam and tea or coffee & orange juice. Pool was small but adequate. The fridge in the room cost 5 euros a night and air conditioning 7 euros. Quite expensive over 2 weeks. Food was good with a varied menu, but better value in resort as were the drinks.
The only disappointment was the Greek night. Small portions and minimum free wine, although it did bring all the residents together and broke the ice with strangers. Bar stayed open till early hours every night without being noisy.
Will definitely return again one day.

The ambience of the hotel is second to none. Costa and Nicos are the most genial of hosts. The remainder of the staff are really helpful, (Marion even chucks in a few answers for the quiz nights) All the staff go out of their way to find out and call you by first names. This is some feat with the turnover that they must have.
This year as we alighted from the coach, Costa, Nicos and Marion all greeted us as old friends, (even though we only went for a week last year they all remembered us)
I would recommend this hotel and apartment complex to anyone at the drop of a hat.
Excellent.

B&B consists of a continental breakfast but you can opt for a cooked breakfast which is available for an extra charge. This hotel is definitely suited to families of small children as there was a small play area and a lovely swimming pool. There was one pool table for older kids but thats all. The bar was friendly and small but cocktails were small and not at all exciting like the ones you could buy in Roda. Overall, this was a lovely place to stay.

The food at the hotel was excellent and all areas were spotlessly clean, staff were cleaning all day. All staff addressed guests by first names and were very friendly and helpful. Pool area was also very clean and gardens well maintained (in fact this was the cleanest place I have ever stayed in Greece)
Evening entertainment was fine quizzes, bingo, karoake and of course Greek dancing.Would visit again.

The environment I believe brings out the best in the guests everbody appeared to be having a really good time and spoke very highly of the service and general cleanliness of the rooms. My one and only criticism was the greek night and value for money, they could have been more generous with the wine given the costs locally and the portions could have been a bit bigger. But all in all we had a superb time at the Roda Oasis - it speaks for itself some guests have been going there for 16 years or more. Enjoy.

| said: We went here in July 2002 and had a good, relaxing time. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the grounds are well maintained. The hotel is located on the main Sidari to Roda road and is about 10 to 15 minutes stroll into Roda itself. They maintain a good menu with a choice of both British and Greek dishes and all the food we tried was well prepared. Friday night is "Greek Night" including a choice of menu, some wine and of course traditional dancers.
My only bugbear was that Direct Holidays had misrepresented the facilities in the hotel rooms. They said air conditioning and cooking facilities were in all rooms and that is not the truth, they are only in the self catering apartments. If you book knowing this I'm sure you'll have a good time.
