Elizabeth Apartments - (Accommodation in Roda)
Everyone is entitled to express their opinion on this website and not have it torn to pieces. People have different expectations of their holidays and no one has the right to have a go at anyone for expressing their opinion, whether they disagree with it or not.
I visited the Elizabeth apartments with my husband in the summer of 2004 and found the grounds and the pool to be one of the best we saw in Roda. However, our apartment was a different matter. We had been warned to expect basic and basic was exactly what we got. What we did not expect was a completely filthy toilet bowl – totally black, with what I hope was lime scale and not anything else – that had not seen a good clean for many a year. And before the Elizabeth fans leap in with their defence, no, this is not typical of Greek toilets, as none of the other toilets we used on Corfu were dirty. They were all clean and free from lime scale, as one would expect of “basic” cleanliness.
Another problem was the hot water system. While I applaud the use of such eco-friendly systems as solar power, there was clearly nowhere near enough hot water to service the amount of people staying at the Elizabeth when we were there. And basically we begrudged having to plan our days around getting back to the apartment before 5pm, (sometimes 4pm) to have a decent shower. Any time after that and you were lucky to get a cold dribble from our shower. Hot water is surely a “basic” facility?
We were unlucky enough to experience some heavy rain during our stay and found our room to have the unique feature of a leaky roof. To be kept dry in your holiday room is surely a “basic” facility?
With regard to the staff, yes they were great and friendly as long as we were spending our money at the bar. The fans who are part of the Elizabeth “family” are very lucky, because if you are a couple who do not spend every waking, money-spending moment at the Elizabeth, it is very difficult to penetrate the family “clique”.
I admire all of your loyalties to the Elizabeth and it’s staff and may you enjoy many more “family” holidays there. OUR opinion of the Elizabeth is that parts of it could do with some attention, i.e. ceiling repairs, water system, toilet cleaning etc and an attitude adjustment towards those holidaymakers who want to go out and see some of Corfu while they are there and not spend all of their time (or money) at the complex.
No one likes criticism, but without it improvements cannot be made. So next time you feel offended by someone’s opinion of the Elizabeth apartments, just remember that any negative comments made on this website could result in improvements, which will only add to the enjoyment of your future holidays.
- UKRoda Park Restaurant - (Restaurants in Roda)
We loved Roda Park when we visited Roda for the first time in September 2004. The food was superb and Costas, Voulla and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming. They make a conscious effort to get to know all their customers, which is a brilliant personal touch!
Crusoes Pub - (Bars in Roda)
Can't believe anyone would have a bad word to say about Crusoes! It's the best bar in Roda and Sara, Alex, Nicole and Vicky are always ready with a warm welcome, a cheery smileand they even make time to have a chat. We holidayed for the 2nd year running in Roda this Aug/Sept and were amazed to find that they remembered us (Hopefully due to their excellent memories and not because we showed ourselves up last year or anything remotely embarrassing like that! 
)
So if you want a good laugh and to make friends with two of the best landlords in Roda and their staff, head straight for Crusoes!
) Good luck with the house guys and don't ever change! Crusoes rules! Roda Park Restaurant - (Restaurants in Roda)
