Pegasus Hotel

A pleasant clean and tidy if basic hotel, the staff were very helpful and eager to please.
The location of the Pegasus Hotel is it's biggest drawback, it is situated on the main Roda to Sidarri road about 100 metres from a set of traffic lights which serve as the starting grid for the local boy racers. The traffic noise is almost constant and will intrude into your room even with the patio door closed, there is a brief lull in the traffic flow betwwen 02:30 and 04:00 it builds to a crescendo from 07:00 onwards. If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing holiday look elsewhere.
The breakfast is rather unimaginative and consists of Ham, Tomato, Cucumber, eggs, fruit juice tea and coffee, some fresh fruit and croissants would have improved the experience.
Roda itself is a pleasant resort with a decent beach area and numerous tavernas and bars there is no shortage of choice for eating places.
We hired a car for 3 days and explored the island seeing many very picturesque places, beware the local drivers they are lunatics, they do not appear to have a highway code and simply do what they like, overtaking on blind hairpin bends is a common occurence.
The Greek night every Saturday at the Roda Oasis Hotel is very good.

What can i say we wanted a relaxing week in the sun and a clean friendly hotel, that is exactly what we got! it was fab my husband and i and our two 13 and 15 year old daughters had the most brilliant week. Nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff,Lefty was our fab barman who had everyone in stiches! (he does a great rendition of under my umbrella!)The resort has loads of shops and bars a few minutes walk from the hotel, you have to visit Maggie's Bar the fish and chips are out of this world!!There is a lovely beach but the hotel pool is fab so we mainly stayed there, they also serve great poolside snacks.We would definately go back to this great place the only downside are the mossies but we went armed with repellent and plug in room repellents and we were fine .

Went to Pegasus in June last year with my boyfriend and had a wicked time! Booked the holiday on the spare of the monent 5 days b4 we went so we really had no idea if we had made a good decision. We couldnt have been luckier lovely and clean, pool clean and big, staff friendly and welcoming, breakfast a bit basic but didnt bother us. Really had a fab time, and the weather was amazing!! Also 5 mins round the corner is where all the resturants and bars are. Quite a few bars especially great place was called the "Drunken Sailor" and that stays open till early hours and once it gets to about 12ish they close the shutters which are soundproofed 2 keep the disturbance to any other resturants to a minimum. Brilliant music and again really friendly staff. Also a pub on the beach super friendly called "Big Ben" we used to visit every night for a cocktail, also a lovely Italian and chinese on the main drag as you head towards the beach, and so reasonable for a meal for two, much cheaper than home we struggled to spend our money. I would love to go back again this year but I know we should try somewhere different, but will def go back in the next few years. And when I do I want to stay at Pegasus. 10/10!!!

Girlie holiday for me and my sis. Rooms were spotless and regularly cleaned. Staff were friendly and happy to help. We loved the pool so much we have already booked to go back :).
Roda is lovely, the sea is shallow for a long way out and like a warm bath. I can't wait for june ! Would recommend the Kind Hearted Place on the beach front, the Chinese place does the best spring rolls. We went on a Captain George cruise and had the best time. Good nightlife with bars , bingo and quizzes if you like that sort of thing, but we went to chill and it's perfect for that too

Just arrived back from the Pegasus in Roda, what can I say but absolutely perfect.
I went with my boyfriend and 3 other close friends and we had a fantastic time there.
The rooms were clean and tidy, the pool fantastic (one of the biggest in Roda) and very clean. The snack bar round the pool serves great snacks all day, there is always a friendly face to greet you there.
The rest of the hotel staff are very friendly and most welcoming. Everybody made our holiday just perfect, will definitely be returning to the Pegasus.

Our stay at the Pegasus was great, we could not wish for more.
I quite liked the continental breakfast but my partner very much enjoyed the Full English Breakfast and bacon or sausage and egg rolls he purchased from the snack bar by the pool, it was great to have the choice as we did not always get up in time for the hotel breakfast. We were told that the hotel are aiming to improve their facilities such as, snack bar opening earlier for the alternative breakfast plus more nights of entertainment in the hotel. This year they had quiz and bingo, great fun, plus Greek nights.
The pool area is fantastic, very clean and well maintained with grass surrounding the pool which was also exceptional. All the staff inside and out were very friendly and helpful and we became more like old friends.
We quite like the beach but as the beach in Roda is not great we opted to stay around the pool every day and just relax. We did not book any trips through our rep as it was cheaper outside in the village, plus our rep was not very pleasant and he could be rude at times! The resort had plenty to offer and Acharavi was a short walk along the beach.
This was one of many holidays we have spent on Corfu and the Pegasus was the best hotel we have stayed in for a long time, we would go back at the drop of a hat.

Very good and friendly hotel, beautiful clean pool, with plenty of space around. Snack bar at very good prices, with really friendly staff. Made to feel really welcome at this hotel, nothing was too much trouble.
Breakfast slightly boring, egg, ham, cheese, bread, cereal and yogurts, but enough to keep you going till lunch. No air conditioning in room so would recommend hiring a fan, also no fridge. On the whole the hotel was very clean and well looked after, can't wait to go again.
Hotel in close distance to shops and restaurants and the beach. Meals out I would recommend, New port, smiley’s and the Chinese garden, best Chinese I’ve ever tasted. All restaurants are good value for money and very friendly.
Trips out. We went on the BBQ on the beach cruise very food day, really enjoyed it and great value for money. Really good fun.

Hotel: Just arrived back from Roda, Corfu, Pegasus Hotel. Very pleasant hotel with nice and helpful staff! 24 Hour reception so you always feel safe! Rooms were ok very basic, no Air Conditioning which was needed (temperature reached 40'!) did hear Air Con is being fitted for next year! Breakfast was sufficient although did eat out a couple of times because its only continental and can get a bit boring! Pool fantastic, best pool I have ever seen, very, very clean, 10/10!
Resort: Very nice resort with plenty to do, lots of bars and Restaurants (please avoid the OPA Restaurant, disgusting food, disputing staff...). Roda claims to have a few clubs one being the Drunken Sailor, not a club in my opinion just happens to close its doors later, leaving a small room with a bar, played seriously cheesy music! (Wham, Madonna..) If you are into that kind of thing though sure would have fun! 8/10!
Beach: I was very disappointed with the beach as I was not very big and not particular clean, although if you do venue a bit further the left or right, it does get nicer! Sea pretty clean and very shallow! 6/10.
People: Very friendly and welcoming (apart from those at the OPA! Men not too pervy (as you do sometimes get that abroad!) 10/10.
Rep: As most aware, reps just try to con you into buying trips, a trip to Aqualand was 38 euro, we got it for 25 euro! (Aqualand - worth a visit!) so don't be conned! Our excel/Libra rep, not particularly helpful, in fact didn't really see him! 2/10!
Overall I would give the whole holiday 9/10, Corfu is really beautiful and its definitely worth going!
Oh one other thing mosquitoes are really bad, make sure take plenty of spray as I got eaten alive!
Oh and delays are quite common at the airport which is very tiny!

Just back from my first ever visit to the beautiful island of Corfu! We stayed in the Pegasus Hotel just outside the resort of Roda in the north of the island. Very impressed! Run by an extended family, Anna, Spiros in the lobby and of course the other Spiros - the Liverpool fan who worked at breakfast and the outside pool bar (who can play the game pool so don't let him hustle you ha ha!) - found everyone very pleasant, welcoming.
The hotel itself was beautiful. Very clean although I do wish there was service every day rather than every few days but ask for anything at reception and they're very good at helping you. The breakfast was very good, very varied, the pool was beautiful - I'm not usually the sit by the pool kind of gal but you'll understand why we did when you see the pool area!
Although we went in June, and it was quite quiet - ideal for couples and families. Only decent disco is in a pub called 'the sailor's' or something like that -it's in the shape of a ship. Staff very friendly there too! Some really nice places to eat - Maggie’s is one I recommend for a full English breakfast if you fancy it. For a more lively night life - head to Sidari or Corfu town - however Corfu town is very expensive - drinks are double the price of drinks anywhere else.
Warning: We hired a Suzuki jeep to go off and discover the rest of the island. I do not recommend you do this! Although it is definitely worth seeing the rest of the island - lots of spectacular views! It is not worth risking your life driving those roads you are not used to - with their mountain edge drops on either side - it's a very very, very hairy journey! We were never so glad to get back to the hotel in one piece!
Definitely recommend seeing the rest of the island - but take the bus like any sane person would - please!
All in all - I'd definitely go back - and to the same hotel - don't think there would be a nicer one in Corfu!! A holiday I'll never forget!
