Blue Lagoon Apartments - (Accommodation in Roda)

Karen H           

this resort is now being sold by accommodation2u also trading as Florida Dreams. Cookie is no longer there. It is now owned by a lady called Catrina. From start to finish our holiday was stressful, misrepresented and a total disappointment. We worked hard and long for our holiday and I begrudge every penny spent on this dreadful experience. No choice of menu, (and what was served up was crap) which led to members of my family having gastroenteritis and being extremely ill. The doctor even advised hospital admission. With all the vomit and diarrhoea no evidence of disinfectant or cleaning of the apartment had been witnessed. Including the pool. Oh excuse me, except for some white powder that was sprinkled on the vents. I would just like to comment also that I am not a whinging pom but someone who just appreciates value for money.

Accommodation was supposed to be two bungalows as ours was a party of six. Two adults and four children (although we had to pay adult prices for one of these children). My eleven and fourteen year old sons had to share a double bed. There was a massive hole in my toilet/shower. When showering the bedroom became flooded which was treacherous because of tiled floor. Could not keep mosquitoes out. Windows did not close properly and could not be secured. No curtains on some of the windows. Patio chairs that collapsed when sat on. Not at all the conditions you expect after paying £2225 for one week. I now know what the locals meant when they advised us not to feed our children there!!!!! My advice do not stay at the Blue Lagoon Apartments. Corfu is beautiful and I am furious with BL and the travel agents who conned me into thinking I would have a week in paradise. THis is just a few of the disasterous occurrances my family had to endure. Not to mention the rudeness of the manager of Accommodation2u on my return when trying to find out about their complaints proceedures. I was accused of trying to get a possy of holiday makers together to complain. Many of the people holidaying at the same time as us were falling ill. The doctor from 24medica must have been clasping his hands with glee at all the loot he was making from the frequent visits he was making to this resort.

Did I mention the 2 hour plus transfer from hell. We paid £125 return transfer to be scared senseless by the contraption that was hired for this purpose. Something that had well seen its better days was waiting for us at the airport. No seatbelts was the major issue, especially when we hit the steep winding roads that took us through the mountains to the north of the island. The luggage space was inadequate so some suitcases were piled in the aisle of the bus. Every time the driver braked the children were thrown forward.

Good things.

The pool was an unusual shape with many depths and my youngest two loved it. That was what kept us there. They were happy so we put up with our disappointment at the grotty disgusting and dirty excuse for a 3*. We did not expect gold platted taps and the like but at least to feel at ease and to enjoy our stay. 2 days travelling, 2 days of sickness which incapacitated myself, my partner and 5 year old so much one day that my 7 year old was taken care of by the 11 and 14 year olds. Making sure she kept out of the sun, drank only bottled water and all this when they all were suffering with upset tummies. I AM SO F****** ANGRY. This is not moaning, this is premeditated abuse of my family members and I will be seeking complete satisfaction from being reimbursed and compensated for the traumatic experience given to me by ACCOMMODATION2U.

Just paid a quick visit to this site to see if any more poor unfortunates had the displeasure of staying at the BLUE LAGOON in Roda. There was a message which I think was intended for me from Jimmy, how would I be able to obtain his e-mail address. Please advise.

Sounds like you are describing Blue Lagoon Apartments. STAY CLEAR unless you have extremely low standards and don't mind throwing away your money on a potentially life threatening experience. Sorry this place has also featured on holidays from hell twice. Please do not take notice of previous comments from holidayers who have praised this resort. They are clearly demented. Would just like to say that I love Corfu and the people are friendly. Just dont consider Blue Lagoon Apartments. Locals even tell you not to go here
