Karen, sorry , but I have been unable to comment on the Blue Lagoon due to legal action against JMC. This action is now successfully ended, if you wish to contact me at sadra@sadra.fsnet.co.uk I will give you details of our claim agaist JMC and what legal team our group engaged. Our claim started in May 2001 and has taken almost 5 years to come to a conclusion. Jimmy  | ||||||||||

| Just paid a quick visit to this site to see if any more poor unfortunates had the displeasure of staying at the BLUE LAGOON in Roda. There was a message which I think was intended for me from Jimmy, how would I be able to obtain his e-mail address. Please advise. |

In answer to peoples queries the blue gardens is not the same as blue lagoon. me and my friends stayed at the blue gardens in roda and absolutely loved it. it was our first girlie holiday and we had a fanatstic time. the apartments are very clean (although bathroom floor gets very wet when having a shower. the resort was great (with some very handsome youing men) check out the drunken sailor for a great nite out! if you are considoring going to roda stay here it is nice and quiet just out of the way of the hustle and bustle of resort centre and he owners are lovely too!!! | ||||||||||

| i have just read this comments page and cannot believe how true the complaints are. Myself and my partner along with our 10month old baby stayed here in 2001. This was our first time abroad and i must admit we were so dissappointed in the appartment if you can call it that. The room we stayed in was the size of a garden shed. Me and my partner had to sleep in single beds. The beds, a cot, a cooker, a sink and bin were all in the same room and it was grotty with ants crawling all over the place. The cleaning staff were rude and arrogant, and cookie the owner was a dirty, smelly pervert.
I must add that myself and my partner had food poisoning and when we walked past the kitchen, we looked through the window and it was disgusting with flies everywhere. The pool was dirty and murky and jmc didnt seem to care when we complained. The only person I can praise at that resort is the doctor as he was lovely and very helpful. I advise anybody not to stay here. | ||||||||||

| In 2000 i was one of JMC Reps for this accommodation and it was not the best of accommodations in Corfu,depending on what block you allocated,obvisouly this depended on the booking that you made in the uk on the style of room varied. Block B,was the poorest block.What you have to take into account that the star ratings from each european country is different to that of what we have in the uk. I must admit that the accommodation at the Blue Lagoon was not of the highest standard and if you have travelled to different destinations in europe than you would of experienced different levels of standards. When i was there in 2000,there were many guests that had been to the Blue Lagoon who had a fanstastic holiday and returned year after year. If i had the chance i would of invested money in the Blue Lagoon and made refurbishments to this property as it has a massive potential to be one the best properties in Roda and on the island of Corfu.Just some time and money and imagination. | ||||||||||

| Our group of 102 (yes 102) stayed here in 2001 and are at present talking legal proceedings against JMC. It sounds as though the only thing that has changed is that "Cookie" is no longer there, and some tour operators have finally woken up and no longer send clients there. | ||||||||||

| this resort is now being sold by accommodation2u also trading as Florida Dreams. Cookie is no longer there. It is now owned by a lady called Catrina. From start to finish our holiday was stressful, misrepresented and a total disappointment. We worked hard and long for our holiday and I begrudge every penny spent on this dreadful experience. No choice of menu, (and what was served up was crap) which led to members of my family having gastroenteritis and being extremely ill. The doctor even advised hospital admission. With all the vomit and diarrhoea no evidence of disinfectant or cleaning of the apartment had been witnessed. Including the pool. Oh excuse me, except for some white powder that was sprinkled on the vents. I would just like to comment also that I am not a whinging pom but someone who just appreciates value for money. Accommodation was supposed to be two bungalows as ours was a party of six. Two adults and four children (although we had to pay adult prices for one of these children). My eleven and fourteen year old sons had to share a double bed. There was a massive hole in my toilet/shower. When showering the bedroom became flooded which was treacherous because of tiled floor. Could not keep mosquitoes out. Windows did not close properly and could not be secured. No curtains on some of the windows. Patio chairs that collapsed when sat on. Not at all the conditions you expect after paying £2225 for one week. I now know what the locals meant when they advised us not to feed our children there!!!!! My advice do not stay at the Blue Lagoon Apartments. Corfu is beautiful and I am furious with BL and the travel agents who conned me into thinking I would have a week in paradise. THis is just a few of the disasterous occurrances my family had to endure. Not to mention the rudeness of the manager of Accommodation2u on my return when trying to find out about their complaints proceedures. I was accused of trying to get a possy of holiday makers together to complain. Many of the people holidaying at the same time as us were falling ill. The doctor from 24medica must have been clasping his hands with glee at all the loot he was making from the frequent visits he was making to this resort. Did I mention the 2 hour plus transfer from hell. We paid £125 return transfer to be scared senseless by the contraption that was hired for this purpose. Something that had well seen its better days was waiting for us at the airport. No seatbelts was the major issue, especially when we hit the steep winding roads that took us through the mountains to the north of the island. The luggage space was inadequate so some suitcases were piled in the aisle of the bus. Every time the driver braked the children were thrown forward. Good things. The pool was an unusual shape with many depths and my youngest two loved it. That was what kept us there. They were happy so we put up with our disappointment at the grotty disgusting and dirty excuse for a 3*. We did not expect gold platted taps and the like but at least to feel at ease and to enjoy our stay. 2 days travelling, 2 days of sickness which incapacitated myself, my partner and 5 year old so much one day that my 7 year old was taken care of by the 11 and 14 year olds. Making sure she kept out of the sun, drank only bottled water and all this when they all were suffering with upset tummies. I AM SO F****** ANGRY. This is not moaning, this is premeditated abuse of my family members and I will be seeking complete satisfaction from being reimbursed and compensated for the traumatic experience given to me by ACCOMMODATION2U. | ||||||||||

| This is the grottiest most horrible filthy hotel we have ever been too. The pool was filthy, the rooms were disgusting the food was bad (several guests had food poisening) The best thing to look forward to every morning was getting out of the grotty beds and leaving it all behind for the day. I have pictures to prove it too.... | ||||||||||
