Hotels All-inclusive in Kato Gouves

We didnt try the restaurants and stuck with Buffet which a wide range and variety of dishes - even Chinese! The cakes and desserts were exemplary! Drinks wise kids were happy with sodas and we drank the Minoan Era lager which we really liked

I had a Spa Day and treatment - staff were excellent, sauna and jacazzui lovely. On a duller day took kids to the Aquarium which was good and only 30 min walk e/w along the seafront

It’s also a great place if you like cats! The only negative is not being a beachfront resort but having said that, the five minute walk to the beach is quite pleasant

My family and I had a lovely holiday at Gouves. The staff were excellent, particularly Maria at Poseidon Bar who could not do enough for us

Food was excellent: I have two fussy eaters and they could always find something to eat at the Buffet

The pizza, gyros and ice cream during the day was very tasty! We didn't go to the a la carte restaurants, so can't comment on those

The property has been recently renovated: the common areas are spacious, well designed and, above all, extremely clean, with staff constantly working to maintain every area spotless

The food was good and mostly varied, we always managed to find something we liked each day. The hotel is in a good location and walking distance from local shops and restaurants too

Good location, atmosphere is amazing, all the staff are very friendly and i really liked the room with a sea view. In short, I definitely recommend this place

Pleasant evening entertainment is available at the main bar. The real highlight is definitely the restaurant: the food was excellent, always varied and of very good quality

Beachfront resort in a very convenient location, just a short distance from the airport. Large private parking area available free of charge

The all inclusive formula allows guests to eat and drink practically at any time of the day, and they even brought additional food amenities directly to our room

We went half board which was good we were happy because they said we can swap evening meal for lunch which worked for us as we like to eat out in different places in the evening

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous. The staff have been extremely accommodating and so kind. The food and drinks are fabulous. The rooms and decoration is so aesthetic and clean

One other point is a lot of restaurants give you free dessert ( well everywhere we went) and they are unreal Cretan cheese cake is to die for

Hotel is good food, good variety with all all inclusive hotel food it’s a little samey but I can’t complain

Cretan blue restaurant is amazing too but a 25 minute drive away

The staff are great here everyone very friendly, Sypro’s at the pool bar looked after us really well and went over and above and made the best cocktails! Thank you! Also the lady at breakfast with red and black braids she was very cheerful every morning always in high spirits

The place is very clean, stylish and a real 5-star hotel. We went to free Pilates session & cookie session. Service is very accommodating, sauna open specially for us untill 21:00 instead of 18:00

Food is nice but only 1 restaurant available during low season

We enjoyed our stay. All the hotel staff were very attentive and friendly. The hotel is extremely family friendly. The only downside was the limited variety of fruits available at breakfast.

Some comfy chairs and a table would be useful especially if you like to eat some of your meals in the room. There is no common areas for family time and board games

Heaven on earth, we spent Christmas and New Year with you and my husband has not stopped talking about it since. The staff were amazing and went the extra mile on everything

They had fantastic vegan options at all the restaurants we visited from the breakfast buffet, to the Blue Monkey, Xasteria and Minotaur which we truly appreciated. The property was beautifully maintained

Massive shout out out to Rheya who worked on the bar. She had our drinks pored whilst pouring others! Did eat out a couple of times just for a change

I had a shoulder impingement and I am now able to move my shoulder and arm so much better! My daughter had a relaxing massage by Ifigeneia and she found it amazing and extremely relaxing. We would highly recommend both!!

Hotel staff were really friendly and helpful. Entertainment was good, if you go to hotels and like to be Entertained. They spoke French, English and German the entertainers. Kids Entertainment and kids club

We stayed at this hotel for a week and we really enjoyed it despite a few issues. The room was not best part of the stay as it had many issues. We stayed in a swim up room in the new building and the room was very modern

The entertainment staff Clemence and Florin really helped to make the holiday

No direct beach, but 5 min walk to it. Shops and cafes outside hotel 1 min walk directly outside. At beach put pay 10 euros day for 2 chairs and umbrella. Toilet by cafe which just went to

Beachfront property with 3 pools , restaurant with full all you can ask for, breakfast and comfortable rooms. Although we were here October swimmers were enjoying the facilities.

A bit noisy from a nearby hotel complex with entertainments in the evening but did not spoil things. Our view to the beach was fabulous and the hotel staff levels were excellent and the cleaning team were really thorough

Another thanks goes to the animator Gideon, the bartender Sakis and the others. Really very warm people, thanks to whom we felt really comfortable in the hotel. Thank you and we will definitely come back! ❤️

On the other hand the beds by the sea are always available, of course is paid. All inclusive drinks not worthy! They don’t have good alco drinks included

The staff was nice and helpful, the rooms were beautifully cleaned every day, the food was very very tasty. Overall, the hotel was clean, the pools were clean, the sunbeds were washed regularly, as were the sidewalks

Since the all-day animation programs were full of various activities and a different special program every evening, we didn't have time to go see much anywhere else, it was so delicious and fun

The rooms are great and spacious for the cost read more below Service is thorough and give you everything you need on the get go such as eating times, WiFi etc There is plenty of activities such as pool, table tennis, karaoke and bar and a pool eith free toys like a beach ball The only downside i can think of for the actual hotel is that the toilet seat in our room wouldn't ever stay up Also the wifi...

Thalia is an amazing host! She gives the best advice helps with everything you need nothing is too small she goes out of her way to help and make you feel accommodated really recommend this hotel

Very friendly hotel ideal for the family with entertainment and good food all the staff were very friendly and the beach is a 30 second walk away ilia’s very friendly

Great atmosphere and feel very welcomed to their hotel and cleaners were very friendly and excellent service provided by them daily

The staff were extremely friendly and made you feel like family and were very hospitable

Food was always excellent and had a great variety for all guests with excellent taste and quality. Great location near everything you need for your stay

just back after a 2 week family holiday for 12 7 adults 4 kids and a baby the hotel is at best 3 stars but very clean the food for me was awful so ate out every day the kids loved the pool and most of the staff are very helpful and friendly the man that does the excursions was extremely helpful and if you need to hire a car speak to him he is cheap and does all the hard work for you entertainment...

The hotel is nice, clean and the food is delicious. The rooms are large and cleaned daily. There are tree swimming pools beetwen trees and flowers. The restaurant serves, among others, Greek dishes

The rooms had a beautiful view and were very clean. The food was well-cooked and offered unique flavors. The waiters were always in a very good mood, smiling and offered us their services in the best possible way

Our vacation started in Crete, an island famous for its wonderful beaches and good traditional food. We decided to visit the " Club Lyda" hotel in Gouves. The reception was full of kindness and helpfulness

Our impressions were very good and we will visit the Club Lyda hotel again soon

We also hired a car for a week (€315), and it was brilliant – hassle-free, no push for extra insurance, and a great way to see the island, which is huge. Highly recommend getting a car if you want to explore properly

And a large open sand beach is about 400m from that. I redacted 1 star for the location, because the bus stop is also relatively "far" away, about 1km. Also the hotel is very kind to the stray cats that live in the area

Staff- they go above and beyond to help you and meet needs of families with babies. They offered to prepare food for our 6 month old without any salt and blended it

The bar area outside was nice and relaxing with some interesting music from YouTube playing. The drinks were good, and the bar staff were always fun and friendly. Entertainment is mostly on Friday and Saturdays

If you don’t want to sit near the pool there is a grass area a bit further away where you can lay on the sun bed and it’s a lot more quiet. Rooms in the main building are clean and comfortable

but it was very clean Staff were fantastic Poppy checked us in and she was so warm and friendly nothing was too much trouble for her. The restaurant staff were brilliant so attentive to everyone

Reception and restaurant staff always greet you with a smile and make conversations. Lift in the main building which makes it easier with the pram

Such a lovely, welcoming place. The staff really couldn’t do enough to help you. They were very friendly and adored the children. It’s a smaller hotel which was perfect for our family to relax and unwind

after seeing a lot of negative reviews about this hotel after we had booked it we flew in with trepidation. we arrived late at night but they opened the bar so we could have a drink

the rooms were a little small and dated but perfectly functional. the food was plentiful and some of it was traditional greek which we enjoyed. the hotel bar was well stocked and plenty good enough for our needs

but it was clean, and cleaned daily (beds made, towels changed, bins emptied) Overall is it worth the money for all inclusive

The hotel stuff extremely lovely and always happy to help with anything

not great but it is not expensive to eat out. There are some lovely places nearer to the beach (15 mins walk and megusta which has a pool open til 6. 30pm that serves food til 10pm, is literally 5 mins away also)

My husband and I are very pleased with our stay and we would like to thank the entire hotel staff for the wonderful atmosphere. Kind regards , Renata and Piotr

I’m really impressed with the standard this hotel represents. The food is delicious, and the cakes? I’ve never had better ones. Everything is perfectly clean

The rooms are thoroughly cleaned every day – huge respect to the ladies who take care of this ♥️. The hotel’s location is a big plus. Crete is the most beautiful island. The reception staff are simply the best ♥️ JP

Even tho it was all-inclusive we were supposed to have only one drink per person, what is pretty frustrating when you are enjoying day in pools that are 5 min per walk away and you have to go there all the time

We stayed here for a week (all inclusive) Rooms - quite nice room, nothing to complain about regarding dispositions or furniture. We had issue with doors, that were not locking - resolved in an hour

Missing toilet paper and shower gel were also resolved, but we had to remind them twice. Service - in general it was really good, but in bar we had experienced not really nice service

▪️the pizzas served for evening meal were freshly made in there Woodfired oven

We have just returned from a 7 night stay at this hotel So we will start with the positives first ▪️upon arrival at around 10:30pm we were greeted by a helpful man on reception who checked us in quickly and offered us food for us and our 3 children

Were unsure if it was from the pork with vegetables or the beef with tomatoes as these are the only dishes that he ate and me and the children didn't. Both dishes were repeated daily as were alot of the other dishes

The room was cleaned regularly and fresh towels were provided every other day. ▪️The pool was clean and there was plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas. They also allow inflatables which is great for the children

Due to the lack of trust of the food after my husbands food poisoning we decided to eat out on two nights at some local taverns which we absolutely loved even though we had paid for half board at the hotel

Breakfast was very basic and the coffee was awful. ▪️although there is a sign saying the pool area gets slippy when wet i thought i wouldn't mention this for people who are thinking of going with children

Came here on the 7th oct for 9 night Great hotel, the staff were very nice and helpful We went all-inclusive The food was good always something to eat The drinks are nice At night the lady on the bar at night works very hard We had room 413 with its own little pool good for when it got to hot There is a little fridge in the room as well There is a great little shop 2 mins walk from the hotel We...

Not great! The rooms was fine clean tidy plenty of space huge balcony over looking gardens and a view of the sea rooms cleaned every day water provided daily did miss out a couple of days with fresh towels dont know why? The food was very mediocre there was always something to eat it was very mish mash mostly themed nights but it didn't really follow very well The drinks on all inclusive wasnt the...

Although they serve drinks in glasses round the pool, and one day one of the waiters dropped a whole tray of glasses which smashed and fell into the pool! Plastic would be a much better idea! No need to get up at silly o'clock to get a sunbed which was nice

They have a beautiful outside area where you can have breakfast, but the choice is minimal, and hot stuff is normally cold! The only other choice is the main buffet restaurant which is so hot and stuffy its uncomfortable

But if you ask for fries with the cheese and ham sandwich then you get charged for them??? The food in the main restaurant was awful, again, no aircon on in there despite there being a huge great unit

The only decent food we had in the hotel was at the a la carte restaurant. Out of the 7 days we were there we ate out 4 nights. The staff were all very friendly, very helpful and polite
