I can't beleive the last other comments made on Robertos II. I've just got back yesterday and I couldn't wait to put them right. I can't say anything about Robertos I, I didn't see it. But Robertos II was no problem. Yes, it is over a camera shop but that isn't a problem with us. It didn't make a difference at all, no noise or anything. The apartments were VERY clean and maids cleaned it twice in one week, they did this when we'd left also. We hadn't noticed them coming or going just coming home with the room clean. There's no damp. The rooms had a door with a vent, glass doors then a curtain accross. This kept the rooms cool, you could also leave them open but locked to let any breeze in. The balcony was hot, but we liked that. Isn't that the reason you go abroad for the sun? Get sum extra rays whilst the GFs were getting ready and have a drink. We didn't get one fly in our room!

These two apartments are linked together in the Manos brochure but couldn't be more different. Robertos I is basic in the usual Corfu-style, but is ok. Location-wise the block is in the courtyard beside the church in the centre of Roda, and although there are a couple of restaurants nearby is relatively peaceful. Robertos II is just awful. Situated above the camera shop, opposite a building site and the communal dustbins, in the blazing sun all afternoon and into the evening so unbearably hot, with drains that don't work and have to be pumped out twice a week, on a very noisy street with motor bikes lorries and coaches going past all day and all night, smelling of petrol fumes or worse when the stink lorry comes, and with cleaners and their kids outside the door at half eight in the morning making as much noise as possible to get you out, and the whole apartment floods if you have a shower! The trouble is you don't know which Robertos you are going to get. We went to Robertos I last year and loved it. Asked for the same this year but got Robertos II. It is truly dreadful. Beware.
