Lyttos Beach Resort in Hersonissos

Great rooms. Great staff. Lovely scenery. Beautiful place, well managed and serene.

Fantastic family holiday at Lyttos Beach

We had a wonderful stay at Lyttos Beach. The hotel has excellent facilities, and the staff truly go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. While it’s not a luxury resort, it’s absolutely perfect for families looking for plenty to do on vacation.

The sports facilities at the Lyttos Beach Sports Centre are world-class, and there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The hotel was spotless throughout, and every member of staff we encountered was friendly, helpful, and clearly worked very hard to keep everything running smoothly.

We would definitely return and highly recommend it to families looking for an active, fun-filled holiday.

One of the best resorts we’ve ever encountered: amazing food variety and quality, competent and friendly staff, excellent facilities, great beach and pools, convenient location.

The beach is amazing, the pools are very nice and clean, the staff and dining was great, we had an amazing time and we’re very happy that we booked this resort for two weeks!

The resort is huge so although it was full, you couldn’t feel it.

Nice activities, lots of pools, you can always find a spot with a sun bed in one of the pools.

The variety of food is good and you can can always find what (and where) to eat.

We had a great time!

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.
