It’s time for a wake up call. Roda is run-down and dated. The Hotels (apart from the big all inclusive which is not to be mentioned on here) are stuck in about 1983. How can they justify charging extra for air-con and safes in this day and age? The apartments are shabby. Oh my we are all such friends with the marvellous owners and workers- of course they are full of bonhomie as they take your money. They are laughing at you as you return year on year to their “basic” accommodation. If your beloved resort is to survive it needs to move upmarket. The flabby middle aged brits currently beached on the suddenly abundant sunloungers and singing karaoke on the illegal boardwalks need to return to their spiritual resorts of Blackpool and Margate and let Roda breathe. Tour operators need to see some action by the owners and traders and to sell their wares to more affluent markets at better margins. That’s the only way your struggling greek friends will be really happy. It needs more marketing than this sorry little website which the owner probably makes a living from but does no favours to the resort with his propaganda and suppression of criticism.

Ah bless. I always pity these people, who have so little in their lives that they have the time to put together such wind-up rhetoric. I will therefore not even bother commenting on the content. I would suggest everyone just ignores any of these types of posts, which make no founded arguments and are clearly from guest logins.

The "wind up! post above originated in Austin Texas, perhaps it was the loud obnoxious American "lady" playing her music at full blast on the beach a couple of weeks ago??? Rest assured that there will be no more posts from this ISP. pete.

Just noticed the lovely post at the top of the page, How can anyone criticise Margate, the spiritual home of the "Jolly Boys Outing" LOL! Cheer up Victor Meldrew or what ever your real name is...

I agree Steve & MalcClayt........I know we live in the 21st century (regarding Roda) but \I loved it in the 20th century and wore a bikini, shame \I got older and now have to wear a swimming costume and lounge on a sunbed............

As many members have repeatedly expressed, those comments were made towards the anonymous guest.
I was trying to put out a more controlled message this time, to encourage members not to bite back (as I admit I did).
