Me and my mate Emma go to Roda every year and we get the same special treatment at the restaurant as the first year we arrived. The waiters are excellent to us (Spyros and Jeorge, especially) and they're still lovely. We're going next week and can't wait to see our old friends, the Captain, Vangellis, Visillis, Spyros and Jeorge, and hope they reserve our sunbeds again.
We visit Roda every year and because we couldn't get the apartments we usually stay in, we decided on Alexandros, and that's the best decision we ever made. They were fantastic, we're going back next week.
It's been a tradition to go to Roda every year with my family and family friend, but this year though was better than the last years. We always get a warm V.I.P reception from the staff at Newport, a.k.a Captains. They've done us great favours, staying up with us all hours so we're not bored. Not dobbing me and my best mate in for 'certain' things. Visillios, Aegis, Spyros and George were the best hosts. Shame Vangellis doesn't work there anymore. I recommend this place highly. The staff remember and treat you like Royalty. As a 17 yr old i can vouch that the male staff are what you'd call 'friendly' and willing to show a good time. Not only are the staff there friendly, but they'll look out for you if you get in a spot of trouble, for example if some random Albanian stalks you they'll sort him out. They're also the most charming, my mate got bitten on the eye by a mosquito and REFUSED to leave the apartment so me and my mum, her mum and my nan went to the restaurant, they put some pizza in a box with some garlic bread and let me take it back to her. Plus if you have a hangover, try George's strawberry milkshakes...they'll cheer you up in no time. The price is only fantastic if they know you, because as they've known us for years they take money off our final price, and on the last night will give you wine to take home. Plus if you have a night flight on package they're so much help, they let us keep our luggage in their restaurant until we left. Plans to go there next year, already booked, and will probably continue going for a long long time.
