Good Points
Location on the beach, Good pool area, Food is pretty good although heavy reliance on pork, Chinese food was good, Maid service good. Animation team work hard and are fun
Bad Points
Rooms and beds are terrible like MFI wood bases and cheapest mattresses, Little storage, Air Con poor and for limited hours only. Crazy golf is more like crazy paving all cracked. Gym is a bike and a running machine.
General Comments
Hotel Roda Beach Village is like musical rooms. There is list at reception for room changes because so many people want to change.
We changed rooms due to no hot water (i.e. no water at all out of the hot tap) between 5.30 and 8.00 pm. Wall paper was peeling and dirty carpet. They put another unlucky arrival straight into our old room. There are about 20 good rooms by the beach out of the hundreds in this hotel.
This hotel plays the star rating game. The star rating only reflects the facilities on offer not the service or the quality of the facilities.
Make sure you go all inclusive. You will need the alcohol to face your room after a fun day around the pool.
Read all the reviews, be prepared, and you may have a good holiday.
Do not look at the star ratings though and adjust the price you are prepared to pay accordingly. Lots of discounted late availability says it all.
