We are just returning home after a lovely two week stay at Roda Beach Resort & Spa. Due to the previous reviews I was a bit anxious to be coming but honestly everything soon put me at ease. I think there are certain people that will complain at anything and everything. Our room was cleaned daily, there was slight wear and tear such as chipping in the paint but obviously not going to complain about that and it was refurbed last year. We ate at the main buffet each day except for two nights when we used the à la carte Italian and Asian. The buffet was great with good variety and something for everyone plus a kids section and they did themed nights which mixed it up. The à la carte were good with plenty of choice on the menu to choose from. The souvlaki corner and creperie by the main pool were brilliant too! The pools are salt water but the added edition of the water park made up for that! It was an extra bonus and these weren’t salt water as wasn’t expecting the waterpark on site! There is also, TUI rub kids club. Entertainment team are great really try to get involved but don’t force you if you don’t want to. There was a show every night but the highlight has to be the white party on a Saturday night they pull out all the stops and all adults get a free glass of champagne! We played the music quiz and was good we won a bottle of champagne and a 15 min experience at the spa. I can honestly say everyone was welcoming at the spa and Elli worked her magic. All the staff are very welcoming and give you a smile. There is no pressure to tip but they have tip glasses on the bar, if you want to. The hotel does have about 20% French families and 15% English. I would completely disregard the negative comments and I would definitely go back to this hotel as we had a great break!!

“Great bartender”

This place has a great bartender, his name is Kostas. He's a very positive person, always smiling and easly brings a smile to your face.

Kostas made us the best lattes with a heart design, which is soo cute and very thoughtful. He also spoke to us in polish, asked how our day is going in our language, which made us feel appreciated and happy that someone from the staff understands and speaks this hard language.

“Hugely Enjoyable”

We really enjoyed our week’s stay at Roda Beach. Here’s a breakdown of our experience. 1) Location: Roda Beach is in a quiet part of the island so probably not suitable for party animals.

We really enjoyed our week’s stay at Roda Beach. Here’s a breakdown of our experience. 1) Location: Roda Beach is in a quiet part of the island so probably not suitable for party animals. It’s a 15 minute walk along the beach from Roda which is a small resort with a few shops and bars/restaurants. The views of Albanian mountains from the hotel are stunning and the beach while not paradise is suitable for kids with water sports available. 2) Room: We chose a room with a partition as there were three of us and it was perfect. Really spacious with a large bathroom. It felt modern and airy. No problems with air con and I loved our little balcony. It was cleaned everyday. 3) Food and drink: I’ve seen the reviews about food being repetitive but I think if you eat in the same place seven days in a row, it’s bound to start getting a bit boring. I thought the food was really good. There was a wide variety of dishes at every meal, with always lovely salads and veg available. The wine was from a tap so not the greatest quality so bring a couple of bottles if you’re a wine snob. I’m not a cocktail person but there seemed to be plenty of choice. There were always plenty of food outlets/snack bars which made a holiday with two boys who wanted to eat at different times much easier. 4) Swimming Pools: I think this is where the resort excels. There are several pools as well as the new waterpark which my boys absolutely loved. From a parent’s perspective this also meant they were always occupied and there was no expense bringing them to a separate water park. Word of warning though, with the exception of the water park, the pools are saltwater pools so bring goggles. 5) Staff: The staff here are extremely professional and deal with a massive volume of international visitors. The one thing I would say is that with the exception of the efficient cleaners, we didn’t see a lot of smiles. We had absolutely no issues but efficiency may be prioritised over friendliness at times. 6) Other Guests: There is a real mix of visitors here from all over Europe etc. Everyone was well-behaved but because of linguistic differences, I think a lot of people kept to themselves. Just something worth considering if meeting other people is on your holiday wish list. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. As a single parent I really appreciated the ease of availability of food, choice of activities etc. My two boys loved it and are already asking about when we can return.

“Lovely relaxing holiday”

We visited the Roda beach for the first time in June as a family of 3. The hotel is simply lovely. We were in a family partition room which was huge overlooking the private pools. It was very clean although the fridge was so noisy we had to unplug it as it kept us awake. We were located in block 9 directly across the main road from the reception which was an excellent location. The only downside to this is there is a speed bump and drain cover which bangs every time a vehicle crosses it collecting or dropping off guests so you hear it first thing on a morning and late into the night (it’s really noisy). The food in the hotel is one of the best AI we have had. Always a good choice and well cooked - they don’t seem to use last nights leftovers for lunch so every meal there is plenty of choice. Desserts were also lovely and seemed handmade and not the usual ones where everything tastes the same. The drinks were mostly good depending on which bar you went to and there is a bar down by the pier that has a live DJ where they hold a white party weekly. They were in the process of building the new waterpark when we were there which will be a fabulous edition to next season. Despite us double checking with the hotel before travelling the football pitch was out of use as was the tennis court. Our son is required to train everyday whilst on holiday so this was a major factor in choosing the hotel. However, Makram from guest relations was fantastic and arranged for my son to train at the local football teams ground on the days he required, including transport there and back. He really went above and beyond and is a credit to the hotel. The hotel was large but very well spread out and seemed full but not overwhelming. There are numerous bars and the barista is a great addition. Roda itself is a short walk along the beach (less than 10 mins) and about €8 for a taxi back as it would be difficult to walk back in the dark and it’s long way to walk the road way. Although not a big town it had a shops, bars and restaurants, the food was fabulous and we ate out on a couple of occasions. The pool areas are large with plenty of sunbeds - the only downside is that you are unable to put the umbrellas down as they are fixed and theirs is little room to move your lounger. There are loungers without umbrellas but these don’t have the nice padded cushions. The gyros station, creperia and ice cream parlour are great too and open all day. Overall we had a really enjoyable stay and are looking to return again in June next year. Highly recommend.
