Overview & Hotel Highlights
Roda Beach Resort & Spa in Corfu welcomes guests to a memorable holiday directly on Roda’s fine sandy beach, combining lush gardens with six swimming pools – some with waterslides – and a comprehensive All Inclusive offering. For 2025, the resort is reopening with newly renovated rooms, family-friendly facilities, and the tranquil blue of the Ionian Sea on your doorstep. Four restaurants, five bars, and numerous snack stations ensure you’re never left hungry. With sports, a kids’ club and a spa on site, it’s easy to find your favourite spot – whether you’re holidaying with young children or simply looking to indulge. It’s an excellent choice for anyone seeking sun, sea, and good accommodation standards – and who wants the freedom to move between pool, beach and restaurant without a care.
First Impressions & Cleanliness
The resort’s extensive, well-maintained gardens lead right down to the beach; pathways, pool areas and sunlounger zones are tidy and inviting. The newly refurbished rooms for 2024/2025 feature light tones, clean lines and sturdy materials – stylish but practical, making daily cleaning easy and maintaining a fresh feel throughout your stay. The housekeeping team are efficient and present daily: rooms are cleaned every day, towels changed as needed, and beach/pool towels are available on a deposit basis. Despite bustling areas, the overall atmosphere remains orderly and pleasant. The buffet restaurant can get lively at peak times, but the large outdoor terrace always offers a relaxing alternative.
Value for Money
This is a large, well-organised All Inclusive complex where families in particular thrive. The package includes all-day dining, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic local drinks, snacks like crêpes, ice cream and souvlaki, use of six saltwater pools, sunloungers and parasols at both pool and beach, as well as a wide array of sports and activities. Watersports, spa treatments and some activities with third parties are available for an extra cost. For families and couples looking for straightforward beachlife with fixed expenses, the price is very reasonable – especially if you avoid the peak holiday season.
Beach & Pool Area
The location is a real highlight: you’re right on Roda’s long, gently shelving sandy beach – excellent for kids and for those who want to paddle peacefully. The pool areas are spread out, with a large main pool and waterslides, separate pools for family and superior rooms, plus extra pools in the bungalow section. This allows for both lively and quiet zones. There are plenty of sunbeds and parasols (though being early during high season is worthwhile!). Towels are loaned out with a deposit. The beach bar is always nearby for refreshing drinks – and the Ionian Sea is typically clear and calm.
Dining & Culinary Experience
There are four restaurants: a spacious buffet house with terrace and three à la carte options by the sea (Greek, Italian and Asian cuisine – require a reservation, one visit per week per restaurant). Buffets are generous, with international and Greek dishes, show cooking and plenty of vegetarian and fresh options; vegans and those requiring gluten-free choices are also accommodated if advised in advance. Snack stations (serving crêpes, gelato and souvlaki) are open during the day for light refreshments. Bars serve a wide range of classic cocktails, long drinks and local wines – queues may form at peak times, but service is generally efficient.
Rooms, Quiet & Sleeping Comfort
With 499 rooms and bungalows, there’s something for everyone: doubles (with garden or sea views, or even swim-up access), family rooms (some with their own or shared pool), and bungalows, with several positioned right by the beach. All accommodation enjoys private balcony or terrace, air conditioning, safe, tea/coffee making set, Wi-Fi and modern bathrooms with showers. Beds are praised for firmness, blackout curtains and soundproofing work well – although evening entertainment can be heard from rooms close to the pool. For peace and quiet, we recommend garden or bungalow rooms away from the central activity.
Sports, Entertainment & Spa
The sporting programme includes beach volleyball, mini-golf and tennis, outdoor gym and aqua classes. Evenings feature shows, live music and themed nights. Children (4–12 years) have a Mini Club with supervised activities, plus kids’ pools with slides. Aegeo Spa offers treatment rooms, an indoor pool and a wide selection of beauty and massage therapies (extra charge). Altogether, a wonderful mix of activities and relaxation to suit the whole family.
Families, couples who love easygoing All Inclusive seaside life, and groups of friends all feel at home here. It’s easy to find peace and quiet in the garden and bungalow areas. For a day out, Corfu Town is just over half an hour away by car or bus – perfect for exploring the UNESCO-listed old town.
