Lyttos Beach

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.

A Top-Notch Hotel Experience

This hotel is truly exceptional in every way. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to assist with a smile. The food is outstanding, with several restaurants to choose from, each offering a unique and delicious dining experience. There are also multiple bars to enjoy, providing a variety of drinks in relaxing atmospheres.

For entertainment, there is organized animation for both adults and children, ensuring that everyone has something to enjoy. I could go on listing the amazing features, but I’ll leave that for you to discover when you visit this top-tier resort yourself. It’s truly a remarkable experience!

Wonderful hotel with great variety of restaurants. The food offered is excellent. At breakfast there is absolutely everything you could ever wish for, and then some. Dinners in the main restaurant have different themes every day. There is an excellent fish restaurant within the hotel area: octopus, calamari and great variety of fish.
The hotel of course attracts people from different age groups, and perhaps families with loud children isn’t the perfect match for elderly people with hearing aids, but they do their very best to cater for everyone’s taste offering family areas, as well as adult only areas.

Such a fantastic hotel. Everything about the hotel is 10/10 the Food, Entertainment, cleanliness, drinks, activities for the kids, splash park, location we can not recommend this place enough. We extended our stay we loved it that much. We can't wait to come back next year!

Returned at the beginning of July. Fabulous Hotel and facilities, so much entertainment for the adults and children. The hotel is spotlessly clean too. Food so much variety to choose something. Would have loved the option to go to the Asian Restaurant more than once as that is really lovely. The only gripe for UK, British customers is that there are only a couple of English Channels on the TV and is more for German / Russian customers, that's what we found anyway. Also the towels put on the sun beds at silly o clock is ridiculous. There should be a removal policy if they are not occupied or put on the beds early morning. Other than that would love to return one day. Thank you. J Helen Johnstone.
