Worth the 5*

Wow! This was the first impression we felt when we walked into the beautiful lobby. The receptionists greeted us with a drink and our luggage was taken to our room. We slept in a pool view balcony room with twin and double beds which were so comfy and the walk in shower was bliss! The layout of the resort around the pools were well thought out and beautifully symmetrical! It would've been nice if the pools we're different depths. There was 1 toddler pool and the others were all 1.4m deep so my daughter had to float in a rubber ring as she was only 1.2m high! It is the first time we have been in a salt water pool and I must say we prefer chlorine pools as they're warmer. The double sofa deckchairs around the pool were worth it though! We used the indoor heated pool a few times which was much nicer especially on rainy days. The playpark is amazing with the crazy golf and there's free ping pong and an outside gym. We used the aqua park a couple of times next door too. All the pools were warmer in Lyttos Beach apart from the toddler pool. So freezing that we couldn't bear it which was a shame as it looked like so much fun! The beach with the comfy sunbeds and umbrellas were lovely although we only used them once as it rained half the holiday! We couldn't go in the sea as it was too choppy that day and there is a rocky plateau to keep an eye on. Paddling was fun though. The beach is life guarded with flags which is always nice to see. The main breakfast restaurant was not too busy and they catered well for dairy and gluten intolerances. Unfortunately there were no puddings in the evening that catered for us apart from fruit! The Asian bar was delicious and we luckily went there twice. We order a dish each and shared them. The steak house was tasty too and they have 2 nights when you can bring your kids along. Both needed to be booked as soon as you arrived on the App. The Greek Taverna was my favourite as its the reason I come to Greece - for the food! The snack shack on the beach was delicious too. The red wine and beer was great as well as the many cocktails and mocktails (loved by my kids). Our favourite evenings after going to the kids disco and shows were sitting in the Rainbow Bar, with the amazing bar man, Nickos, and playing endless uno! 10 days was enough to explore the East Side of the island and recommended is visiting Agios Nicolaos to sit round the lake and go on the semi submarine glass bottom boat. We got a ferry from Plaka to Spinalonga which was amazing. Watercity Aqua Park is fun and the aquarium is good to loose a few hours. It's the first time we hired a car from the airport and it was a god send. So great having the freedom to just explore at our leisure. We would love to come back some day!

The best in Crete

Stayed for 1 week in mid May 2023 in short- Loved it !! The hotel is new and with covid limitations over the last few years (dont worry, no covid restrictions anymore in Crete) Lyttos Mare feels brand new. Its exceptionally clean everywhere, Rooms, Pool, Dining Areas etc all clean and very well looked after. We had a family room with garden view - very well presented, clean and good amount of space for sleeping and getting ready etc - Beds were huge and very comfortable, along with large bathroom and good shower etc Staff work very hard and are always polite and friendly i wont single any one person out as they all work hard but the bar staff are lovely and kept G&T flowing all week - one thing to mention as an all inclusive - you often finds drinks and spirits are local - not here ! The drinks are all known brands and large measures so another massive plus ! Our flight home was 10:00pm but check out is 11:00am - no problem, pack and leave cases in the secure storage areas - and this shows how nice and well thought-out the hotel is for its guests - as part of the luggage area they have showers and changing areas (think very nice Gym changing) with towels etc at the same standards as your room - so you are even well looked after once checked. Would very definitely recommend and we will be back - Thanks all the staff at Lyttos Mare for a fantastic Holiday !

The vacation was wonderful, I will definitely consider visiting this hotel again

Great hotel, good location right by the sea, high level of service, delicious meals, comfortable rooms, the room with the pool is super nice, friendly staff. One thing was unclear - bathrobe size. We are not big people, but they seemed to be child-sized :-)

Great Stay at Lyttos Mare!

Beautiful Hotel, Great Staff and all in all a lovely stay! We are a family of 4 that stayed last week partially into the school holidays. We had a garden view room which was large and immaculate and clean, the cleaners replenished towels and bottled water every day. We arrived late Tuesday night after the buffet finished but we had a cheese and ham wrap brought to our room which was much needed. Our room backed on to the Lyttos Beach entertainment area which was loud at night lbut it wasn’t a problem and we all managed to sleep through the music. It was certainly a lot more livelier than Lyttos Mare most nights. Food was good, not a huge amount of choice in the buffet restaurant but enough that’s for sure and it always tasted good. Asian restaurant was amazing really enjoyed that food! We arrived Tuesday evening and the Argentinian restaurant only had 2 family nights (wednes and thurs) but both were fully booked before we even arrived so we didn’t have the opportunity to try this one. The pool areas are very clean, comfiest sun loungers ever! Yes the waters not warm but we got in every day as did most people and you soon get used to it. Kids Club we used one day, we got there and it seemed a bit disorganised, it’s in the play park so difficult to know who’s there for kids club and who isn’t but as soon as they were settled they had a great time baking cookies. Water Park is brilliant, such a thrill, clean, great snack bar and drink options! Pretty perfect to be honest! In all fairness all the staff are lovely, we used the Rainbow bar in the day and gentleman behind the bar was always so warm and welcoming and happy as were the staff at the pool bar in the evening! We had a really great stay and would definitely return to Lyttos Mare!!! One huge thank you though to the lady on reception who helped us wrap our broken suitcase in cling film when it broke as our transfer was due to pick us up, you are a legend and our suitcase made it back to England still in the cling film with all our belongings so thank you thank you thank you!
