Hi everyone.
First of all I am sorry I am answering after such a long time. I am sorry we could not join this FGT on 3rd of October but we wanted to enjoy the rest of holiday instead of dealing with local police and "phenomenal" Corals owner.
And last but not least I am sorry for my English as it is not my native language - I try my best
Why I did not call the police on the same day:
- we had booking in different hotel in Perama with all inclusive basis and realy I was not keen on staying in Roda dealing with police all day (I heard next police station was outside Roda), looking for the doctor who visited us on the day before and having to look at this horrible Coral owner. We had only 4 days left in Corfu and many places to visit
I do not try to criticise Roda itself as it is nice place for people looking for quiet holidays with beautiful views and possibility to travel around Corfu.
i did not even try to criticise the hotel but to be clear this person runnning this bussiness really shoukd nnever deal with people.
We did not apply for any compensation and did not contact any solicitor (so as you see we did not try to get any money from the owner as Dimitri told he had though before).
uptonogood: I would rather not change the title of thread as what happened to us can happen to everyone who will have bad luck and will be forced to deal with the hotel owner in not very comfortable situation.
holidayman: thank you for your sympathy with us... personally I think that it is very important to let people know that in Roda is a hotel with very good reviews on internet but in fact is owned by unmannerly, rude and arrogant person and if you pay, sleep and leave the hotel without any problems this person will treat you with some respect but when something happens expect the worst (I forgot to mention that on last day when his waiter removed our luggade from the hotel we passed the person working in local car rental company - rather big guy and I think he was supposed to "help us leave" as about 15 minutes earlier I noticed Owner making a phonecall). as Lisa from Alexandros Restaurant (lovely person) said he forgot that he can not treat people like he did in the past. I think something has to be done with it as it looks like the owner thinks that his business is above any other businesses in Roda and what ever happens and what ever he will do it will last forever.
honeybee: thank you for your kind words about my girlfriends recovery (she is ok now). I did not say that the hotel was fully booked as it was not. On first day when the owner told us we can not change the room for the room with balcony as it was in booking we sat in restaurant and checked on travel republic that it was not fully booked - they lied to me and the waiter arranged room change for me - same story on last night when I asked owners wife to show us other room where my girlfriend could wash small pieces of glass from her wounds. One more story about Dimitri: When I spoke to him about one hour after the accident he said that when they came to room my girlfriend had clothes on so it did not look like she was taking a shower. How You comment this? Maybe I should let her stay naked and send her to reception desk downstairs?
I do not think that many people would be pleased with the breakfast. It was ok for me but very basic and only one element changing every day. No salads no fruits or vegetables, you have to pay for these boiled eggs and this mini sausage we noticed only once.
We are going to write our review about the hotel and the owner on most popular websites. If you want to know my opinion about the hotel:
- restaurant area looks very nice,
-beautiful view from the restaurant on the sea and Albania mountains,
-avarage rooms (save, fridge and air-conditioning payable)
-very very basic breakfast without fruits or vegetables (but it tasted ok)
- swimming pool very small about 3-5m width and 8-10m length,
- location at the end of Roda (but Roda is small so it is not far away from restaurants or shops)
Today the only reason for us to come back to Roda is MAMA LISA and I hope we will come back for one crazy Greek Night.
When we left Roda and arrived in Sentido Aeolos everything had changed and we had fantastic time in beautiful resort with food I have never eaten before in my life!! and realy fantastic employees helping to deal with every single problem.
Thanks to everyone for Your comments
