We went to Lyttos Beach hotel in the last week of October and had a lovely time. Room Location: We overlooked the Olympic swimming pool on the top floor, it was fairly quiet and had a lovely view. During our stay swimming clubs used the pool everyday, so you do get to hear people swimming from 7 am to 7 pm every day. I would recommend these rooms as the view was OK and was pretty quiet but was located close to most things. Sports facilities: This was a big plus for this hotel, as it has a free gym and indoor pool. A mixture of tennis courts that you had hire (20 euros for an hour and another 7 euro's for tennis rackets). They also do free table tennis there as well. Food: All restaurants were buffet style and can be fairly busy depending on when you go. For me the food was the biggest letdown for this hotel. The food from the grills was nice but the deserts were fairly bland and the food in the hot plates wasn't very appealing. It also got a bit boring by the end of the stay. Pools: The swimming pools were cold but it was OK once you were in and swimming around. We didn't need wet suites at all. The water slides were really good and caters for a lot of different ages along with the splash towers. We used most of the pools and the main pool was the one we generally liked the most. It also backs onto the beach where there was also a large number of sunbeds. Drinks: Most of the liquor that was being given was brand labels. If you want other drinks apart from cocktails it's self service, which seemed to work well and we never had any issues. Sunbeds: We never had any issues getting sunbeds at any of the pools during our stay. I think this helps that a lot of the rooms can be taken up by the swimming clubs that were staying there for winter training. Play areas: The play area near the hotel entrance was large and had a lot of climbing things to do, it's also where the kids clubs are Things to watch out for: The only think I would watch out for is the rooms near the thalassa snack bar seemed to be a bit smoky with the extractor fans.

The evening entertainment is fantastic. Buffets are great (we weren't actually aware at the hotel is buffet only even the two restaurants you have to book our buffet). The Chinese restaurant was one of the best Chinese I've had. Yes, the pools were a little bit chilly but with the option of the heated Olympic pool and heated indoor pool when it was a bit cloudy there's always an opportunity to swim. The place is very clean and tidy. We had we added extra of the little private pool not really necessary as it's a bit too cold to actually use but a novelty for the kids to jump in a couple of times. The blue bar is the place to get a nice coffee or an espresso martini for that matter. The bar staff are fantastic and really yummy Cocktails.

I visited this hotel with my wife and 2 boys (7&9) for the half term week in October 2025. The hotel is nice and we had a good time, but I don’t think it’s a 5 star hotel. It’s very much a 4 star at best. The hotel is a bit dated and could do with a revamp. We had light switches not working in our room as well as damage to fixtures and fittings. We had a family sea view room (room 809). It was ok, but a bit on the small side. If you have 4 suitcases there aren’t many places to store them. The food was pretty good! A nice selection to choose from. Beer and wine also really nice. Good selection of restaurants to explore. The hotel is very big and the pools are excellent! The waterpark was great fun but the kids got bored of it after a couple of days as there aren’t many slides. Beautiful beach to the front with an all inclusive beach bar available. Lots of sun beds, never an issue finding one! If you like the sea, go snorkelling. The fish were beautiful! If you find a silver Oura wedding ring in there… it’s mine :-( Evening entertainment was really good! Staff were so friendly! Always making sure we were ok! The shows were really high end! This isn’t the hotels fault but the hotel isn’t really close to anything. You can’t walk to the local town to look around. That’s my fault for not researching properly. We went into Heraklion in the taxi, but that cost us €100 return! Sports club is really nice, didn’t really use it other than to watch Newcastle United play. It’s worth noting the bar there isn’t part of all inclusive. You have to pay for everything. The holiday didn’t end great. On the last day, the cleaners accidentally put my son’s teddy (which he’s had from birth) in with the dirty sheets. This was then sent off to an external site to be cleaned. Despite several requests to staff to find the teddy, they appeared quite relaxed, almost horizontal in their approach…. No apology and no offer to get another teddy for my son (not that he’s replaceable). We understood it was a mistake, but they could have been more compassionate. Our son was distraught. In summary, we did have a good time, but I feel for the price, we expected a better level of hotel. If you’ve booked already, I’m sure you’ll have the best time. For us, we probably wouldn’t go back, but that’s more about the location than anything else.

Firstly: this is not a 5* hotel for me. It's a very good 4* & the facilities & range of things to do are great but it lacks the level of service one would expect at a 5*. For example all the restaurants are buffets, even the bookable ones (which I would have expected to be a la carte.) Bar one of the bookable restaurants we seated ourselves & no one took our order for drinks, we served ourselves out of the taps near the food. Having said that this was great for a family holiday. There's many pools. Sadly we didn't opt for a swim-up room but there were lots of these & they looked great. All the pools are unheated bar the indoor pool, but this seems fairly typical for the warmer parts of Europe

I had the most amazing two days at the spa! Yesterday I experienced the Total Rebirth treatment with Anastasia, and it truly lived up to its name. Anastasia was incredibly skilled and attentive — the treatment left me feeling completely renewed, relaxed, and rebalanced from head to toe. Today I followed it up with a deep tissue massage and body scrub with Inna, and it was the perfect complement. Inna’s technique was firm yet soothing, working out every bit of tension while leaving my skin unbelievably soft and refreshed. Both therapists were professional, kind, and clearly passionate about what they do. The entire atmosphere of the spa was serene and welcoming, making it easy to unwind the moment I stepped in. After these two days, I honestly feel like a brand new person. Highly recommend both treatments and especially Anastasia and Inna for anyone looking to recharge and truly take care of themselves.

I was for a pedicure, Mariane was excellent in her job. Nice , friendly and quick. She did a perfect job on my feet and a bonus was the massage chair.

Great family hotel where you can do lots or very little - the choice is yours! Choice of restaurants are great. Food is really good. We booked the Taste of Asia and Meat and Grill twice during our 10 night stay. Rooms are decent - very clean. The place has a waterpark which we visited for a few hours on a couple of days. The private beach is great and the sea is beautiful. But there were several swimming pool options - none are heated but the temperature was not a problem for me other kids even in October. We lastly visited the Aegon Spa on 2 occasions - it’s not cheap but the quality of service is excellent. We had Marianna as a masseuse and she was excellent. Is the place a 5*, maybe not but it’s great value, excellent for kids and adults alike and this is our second visit in 2 years so that probably says more than this review TBH. Value for money it’s excellent, I love Crete and the staff work very hard and we’re excellent throughout the stay!! Don’t hesitate in booking for some late Autumn sun. (It was 25-28 degrees for most of our stay!). Enjoy

We had an incredible time at this beautiful resort! There were so many fun activities to enjoy that even after 7 days, we still didn’t get to try everything. The staff were all extremely friendly, polite, and always ready to help. A special thanks to Anna-Maria, our wonderful waitress she was always cheerful, welcoming, and made every meal feel special. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we can’t wait to come back again!

Fabulous time, excellent food, plenty of things to do, beach, pool, waterpark, gym. Better hotel than previous all inclusive resorts I have been to. There wasn't any restrictions on the all inclusive food and drinks and late arrivals and departures catered for. Communal areas were clean, toilets always tidy and daily pool cleaning. Nice to have room freshened up everyday. Variety of drinks and food options. I had read older reviews and we only went to Kalypso for breakfast after first morning, much less busy and more relaxed than main restaurant. We loved Thalassa fish restaurant and ate here a number of times. We also went here at lunch for the Wok noodle bar and meat bbq. Fast food spot in waterpark was great for snacks and was constantly turning out fresh pizzas and crepes. All excellent. Taste of Asia restaurant was the only average restaurant. Kids loved the nightly shows in the amphitheatre and my massage was great value for money as had back, neck, arms and scalp. Slight criticism which many have mentioned before was the pool temps especially in waterpark were cold, which were not great for small children. My youngest kept having to have ‘time out’ as his lips were blue even with a wetsuit! Secondly there could be a timetable for the 50m Olympic pool. As it was heated more we used this but kept getting kicked out due to swim teams turning up for training. I would return and kids gave it 10/10

An excellent holiday with a great kids club, fantastic pools, multitude of food to choose from and am amazing spa. Caliope was a great spa therapist and I thoroughly recommend the Cretan massage followed by a facial. Bliss.

Used Aegeospas massage service. Anna made an amazing session with Kretan massage. Session was well composed, created with harmony. It was slow but moves were powerful and to the point. Very relaxing but also intensive on muscles and joints. Thank you for this experience.
