Lyttos Beach Hotel

Awesome place
Fantastisk hotell. Everything was just awesome. It was like staying in a little village, they had everything inside the perimeter. All you can eat, drink etc. shops, outdoor activities, playgrounds pools for the kids. Beautiful view to the sunset/sunrise. Big pool Olympic size, smaller pools. The staff all over the place was amazing and service minded

"Lyttos Beach is an absolute gem! The crystal-clear waters and powdery sand make it a perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun. The scenic views are breathtaking, and the beach is well-organized with amenities nearby.

Whether you're looking to swim, sunbathe, or try your hand at water sports, Lyttos Beach has something for everyone. The atmosphere is calm and serene, making it an ideal destination for families and couples alike.

I highly recommend Lyttos Beach to anyone visiting Crete. It's a must-visit destination that will leave you with unforgettable memories." 5/5 stars.

Nice location to the beach, staff were friendly. Hotel does look tired in some areas and food was average.

Fantastic facilities and great options for all ages.

Food quality is fantastic and the main restaurant has themed nights to keep it varied. Most of the food is also cooked fresh in open kitchens which is great. The dining area can be a bit noisy but there’s an adults only area which I’m sure would be quieter.

Room was fantastic for us. We had 2 adjoining rooms for a family of 5 and had 4 separate sleeping areas.

Staff were great although the bar staff were always stretched resulting in long queues.

Water park area is fantastic. Kids loved it. The option of an indoor pool in low season also great if the weather is not great.

Beach area is amazing and so are the never ending pool options.

The kids club looked great although our kids were probably on the older side so didn’t participate. The play park is awesome. Huge climbing frames and crazy golf all within a secured gated area.

Having the tennis/sports centre facilities adjacent to the hotel is also a great option with free table tennis within the sports centre building.

Only suggestion is to consider table service as no one wants to spend up to 15mins queuing at the bar. Not really giving 5 star vibes. Was nice to see the hotel manager getting table service though…

All in all, we’d likely return.

Stayed here in May half term 2024. Awesome place. The water park section kept my 13 and 11 year old entertained for hours. Food selection was great and the sports facilities were excellent also.

We would definitely come back.

Fantastic Stay at Lyttos Beach Hotel, Crete 🇬🇷🏖️

We spent 7 nights at Lyttos Beach Hotel on an all-inclusive family break during the UK autumn half-term. It was an excellent experience from start to finish!

✈️ Travel & Location

Our trip was booked with Jet2 Holidays, flying from Leeds Bradford Airport. The flight should have been 3.5 hours, but we had a 4-hour delay. Thankfully, once we landed, we got through passport control quickly, and our transfer took just 30 minutes.

🏨 Hotel Overview

Lyttos Beach is a 5-star beachfront hotel with 672 rooms, offering double rooms, suites, and family rooms, some with private or swim-up pools. There are 5 restaurants, 4 bars, and plenty of facilities, including tennis courts, a gym, and a water park.

🏠 Our Rooms

We stayed in a Double Room with a Sea View – spacious, clean, and well-equipped with a fridge, microwave, TV, safe, and plenty of sockets. The balcony had a great view of the Olympic pool and sea.

Our son’s family stayed in a Family Room, which had the same facilities but was larger and included a bath. Their ground-floor room also had a patio leading to the family pool.

🌊 Pools & Activities

If you love water activities, you won’t be disappointed! There are 7 swimming pools, including an Olympic-sized pool, plus a water park with:
✅ 2 extra pools
✅ Lazy river & splash zone
✅ 5 larger slides for older kids & adults

Other activities include:
🎾 Tennis, football, basketball & bike hire
🎮 Amusement arcade
🏌️‍♂️ Mini golf & playpark for younger kids
💆‍♀️ Onsite Spa (extra charge)

The beach is directly accessible from the hotel. While it’s not the most scenic, it’s great for a relaxing swim in the Mediterranean. Plus, there’s a beach bar for drinks! 🍹

🎤 Entertainment

Evening entertainment is based at the amphitheatre, offering a kids’ disco, local acts, and animation team productions. We watched their Moulin Rouge show, which was very enjoyable. There were also live music acts and quizzes in the bar each night.

🍽️ Food & Drinks

A standout feature of the hotel was the food! With 5 restaurants, there was plenty of choice:
✅ 3 main buffet restaurants
✅ A Chinese restaurant (booking required)
✅ A fast-food bar in the water park

Food was available from 07:30 - 21:30, covering all tastes. The bars were busy but well-run, offering self-service drinks and a full bar service. The beer 🍺 and gin & tonics 🍸 were great, but we weren’t fans of the red wine in the All-Inclusive package – you can buy from a paid wine list if you prefer.

🛍️ Shops & Facilities

The hotel has a well-stocked supermarket, plus a souvenir shop, jewellery store, and fancy goods shop.

One of the best features was the locker room and shower area for late departures – a fantastic idea that saved us from paying extra to extend our room.

❌ Things We Didn’t Like

We really had to be picky to find any negatives:
❌ The included red wine wasn’t to our taste 🍷
❌ Guests hoarding inflatable tubes for the lazy river & slides 🚨
❌ Limited trips outside the hotel in late October, but there was plenty to do onsite 🏨

👍 Would We Stay Again?

Absolutely! This was a fantastic all-inclusive family hotel with great food, excellent facilities, and plenty to do. The WiFi was the best we’ve ever had in a hotel – fast, free, and easy to use!

Good stay. Pools were very cold but plenty of sunbeds and pools around. The indoor pool was very welcome as it was warm. The gym is very good!

The rooms are very nice, plenty of room.

The food, although was different every theme night, was not the best. The reason I say this was there were times people were waiting too time for the food stations such as chips or chicken. It's as if they need more staff. Also the drinks are very watered down. It was OK when the bottles were out.

Overall good stay.

Fantastic half term break. Choice of eateries and some fun entertainment, despite the water being unheated the pools are great fun and there’s lots of pools to choose from. The water park is great with fantastic kids section, and lots of flumes to go on, the lazy river is also a nice addition. Our room was comfy and cleaned everyday. All staff were very welcoming and helpful. Drinks were good on all inclusive and the beach setting is great. Snorkels necessary as lots of shoals of fish just off the beach.

Huge hotel complex, great food, however the fish restaurant could be better (grilled stuff had weird taste because the grill probably hasn't been washed for some time). Awesome water park for kids of any age, sunbeds on the beach available for free, beach nice and clean, with a part without stones after entering the sea, car rental, supermarket and souvenir shops onsite.
