Maggies Place - (Restaurants in Roda)

Dave H  (22 August 2003)         

My family and I stayed in Roda for two weeks from the 20th July to the 3rd August and the best place to eat was undoubtedly Maggies. The food was excellent and portions that were well above average.
We ate there for dinner five times and had breakfast there twice.

Maggie cooks the breakfasts herself and serves during the evening, she is very welcoming and chatty.

The one to try on the menu is LARGE fish and chips, I nearly fell off my chair when I saw what was put in front of me.........put it this way, you'd better be very very hungry.

The food is simply the best in the resort with a lovely relaxing enviroment. Very children friendly!!

July - (Best Time to Visit)

Dave H           

July is definately the best time to visit. We visited from 20th July to 3rd August and you could see the difference in terms of how busy it was becoming by the start of our second week.
We preferred the first week as it was busy but not too busy - always plently of room on the beach, no waiting to be served in resturants etc.
One downside was the fact that during our last two days we had no sun but thunderstorms (August 1st & 2nd) need I say more.

JULY FOR ME ANYTIME!!!!!!

Roda Beach Villiage - (Accommodation in Roda)

Dave H           

I would recommend the Roda Beach to anyone and everyone because it has everything. If you want it quiet it can be and if you want action, sport, entertainment etc it's go it.
The complex is very big with three great pools (the only downside formy family and me was that the pools were salt water)and is directly on it's own beach.

Very rarely were we down earlier enough to successfully get a bed by the pool but we never failed at the beach, if you have young children as we do (3yrs & 10yrs) the beach is ideal - sandy and the sea is very shallow.

The whole area is very picturesque with the sea which was like a sheet of glass to the surrounding mountains in the distance......... absolutely stunning.

Daily there are daytime activities such as water polo, beach volley ball, tennis, water aerobics etc and in the night the beach resturant turns into a nightclub which is very very family orientated with dances and music for the children as well as the adults.

Be aware that the bar prices within the hotel are very expensive compared to the town, which incidently could be reached by taxi at E5 or by walking along the beach for about 15mins - one thing to note is that it is pitch black on the return journey at night so I would recommend the taxi or walk along the road which is well lit.

All in all a very clean and friendly complex with something for everyone - we will go back at some point and we would have no reservations in staying at the Roda Beach Village again.

One slight downside was that it caters very much for it's German customers before it's british......my opinion only!!
