Hotels All-inclusive in Crete

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

There are 5 restaurants, 4 bars, and plenty of facilities, including tennis courts, a gym, and a water park

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

🏠 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

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

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 main dining area is really big and being able to sit outside meant you didn't feel like you were going to the same restaurant for every meal! Lots of fresh food options, the grill and the salad bars were excellent

It was a nice hotel, but the hygiene could have been better. It was a shame you had to get your own drinks, which was fine, but at least they could have brought them with dinner, but unfortunately, they didn't

Pros-The location of the hotel is in walking distance to lots or restaurants, shopping areas and it's easy to catch a cab outside the gate

Theres not a lot to walk to nearby and the local beaches are taken up by sunbeds from the bars, but we'd recommend a walk into Koutouloufari for a look round the shops or a drink in the evening

The pools are fab - a 50 metre pool on holiday! Even when it was busy it didn't feel busy. Plenty of sunbeds available around the pools or on the peaceful sun terrace

Having a separate bar area from the entertainment means you can choose a more peaceful spot in the evening, or get involved in the fun

The staff at the Enomy main buffet restaurant were mostly okay but many staff were rude or not attentive at all (we sat waiting for cutlery and to be asked our drinks order for ages and then had to try and find someone)

We especially liked Aris at Idaia bar who made us great cocktails! The hotel is divided into different areas making it great for families with lots of activities, and couples who want their quiet areas and great drinks and music with a view

As a pregnant woman I was worried about the drinks options for me but there were so many mocktails I didn't feel like I missed out. We stayed in the adult deluxe rooms. The room was clean and had everything you need

The restaurants offer something for everyone, from delicious local dishes to international favourites, all cooked to perfection. The pools are crystal-clear and plentiful, so there’s always a perfect spot to relax

The bars serve fantastic drinks in a great atmosphere, and the staff are simply outstanding — warm, friendly, and always going the extra mile. We’re genuinely sad to be leaving and can’t wait to come back again

My daughter loved the kids' club (bookable online) and the staff there. special wine at dinner) were charged extra. Otherwise, all drinks and snacks were included. The food was always delicious and fresh

The hotel is lovely, yes it does get busy with families in school holidays but that can be said of many places, the staff are all fantastic and nothing is too much trouble for their guests

We love them all and in all of our travels we have never found anywhere quite so comfortable and that makes us feel like we are at home while we are away. We will see you all next year

We stayed 4th to 14th September 2025 and as always our stay was fantastic

I was a bit dissapointed to not find any Beach Bags and Slippers in the room, as these are pretty much standard in a 5* Hotel, so when I was asked for feedback on their App, I told them, and the next day Beach Bag and Slippers were delivered along with some extra toiletries

Another slight gripe was the mini-bar in the room was not always topped up and there was a charge for crisps and Nuts! Comfy bed and a great shower in the bathroom made for a comfortable stay, but do take a multi pot adapter, as there are not many sockets

People have mentioned that some of the rooms are dated which I don't understand because the room we booked was pretty much the same as the one pictured on the hotels and Jet2 s websites

Unforgettable Honeymoon Stay! My wife and I spent our honeymoon here and it was fantastic! The all-inclusive package was well worth it—great food and drinks, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful

Al the staff were amazing, welcoming and helpful. There are varying standards of accommodation. We were basic all inclusive we had a lounge with a balcony and on three other floor the bedroom also worth a balcony

perfect service (at the beach bar, restaurant, and other places where drinks were served). I liked that the staff always helped immediately with a smile on their faces. Contra: There are some things that don't work

We loved the all inclusive food options and the staff were lovely

We were also disappointed that we couldn’t get even one night at the à la carte restaurant, especially since the hotel was nearly closing for the season in late October

The reception and restaurant staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly — they really made us feel at home from the moment we arrived

It's a bit of a shame that the all-you-can-eat nature of the restaurant means that the cuisine is somewhat underappreciated. Because a lot of it is really well made and above average! Everything is clean

Fortunately, the mini disco is a bit away from the main restaurant and, although we are here with a small child, we really appreciated having a room far away from the hustle and bustle of the kids' pool and mini disco

There were many options for lunch and dinner and the breakfast buffet was amazing. It’s very family friendly there and there are activities for children and adults. It was a beautiful walk to Georgiopolis on the beach

Great resort in a quiet area with a private beach with free sun loungers, beach bar and swimming pool Rooms were nice and spacious, housekeeping stuff was friendly and always wanted to help with anything

Rumour has it that they want to move the kids' area to the edge of the resort, which we think is a good idea. we recommend taking a taxi instead of renting a car for daytrips within 1hr distance

Incredible various and always topped up buffet with loads of options. Fully recommend it as an overall for a great family holiday, we went in October half term and everything was on point!

The sofa bed had an issue as the cushions separated at night, and we needed to move it to avoid drips from the air con. We loved having a fridge in our room to keep drinks cool when we got back from our trips

Half board doesn’t include drinks at dinner, only at breakfast. Staff seemed happy to provide water though, and the hot drinks machine was OK to use, they had a good selection of teas

Door entrance in ours was now at ghe rear and led into a room with bed settee, cupboard and air conditioning plus light switch system that did away with the slot card system of old and even lighted display by ghe door to indicate room OK for cleaner or do not disturb

We’ve been half board for a week here. We’ve used it as a base to visit the island (we booked direct and booked flights and car hire separately), most of the guests here are on AI package breaks

Starters and desserts were buffet (the moussaka was amazing!), but they were lacking apple fritters, fried banana and Turkish delight from the pudding bar (favourites from Greek night in the buffet restaurant)

Yes the main hotel is ready for renovation, but it’s been absolutely fine for us. The bathroom has already been upgraded, and everything was super clean and functional. Lots of toiletries provided and fresh towels daily

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 hotel itself is beautiful, clean, and spacious, and the rooms with private pools are simply luxurious! A few minor downsides: to reach the beach, you have to cross the road, and sunbeds are available only on the hotel grounds

• The so-called à la carte restaurant doesn’t exist — there’s only one fixed night where you choose a single main dish. • As for “chef cuisine”? Nothing close to it

We stayed at Galini Palace Hotel — overall, it’s a great option for a relaxing vacation. The staff are very friendly, always ready to help and accommodate guests

Generally a nice stay. General cleaning and maintenance needs improvement. Nothing terrible but given price and 5* needs improvement. Staff friendly. Food nice. Drinks okay. Main pool area nice.

The food is really good, usually when I stay in hotels the food is basic but here I feel like every meal comes straight from an amazing restaurant - it is amazing. The rooms are spacious and modern

Drinks were awful unfortunately, bad quality, extra sweet even if you asked them to put less syrup, tap water served all the time. No bottled water offered on daily basis in the rooms

It was that good we paid to go back! - There were lots of drinks options included in the all inclusive and despite lots of reviews saying the cocktails are very sweet I think this is down to what people are choosing - there are lots of options with less syrups etc

We loved it before but now it’s brought a whole new level. There is so much choice and everyone is catered for in my opinion. The hotel is very clean and tidy

The team at the Greek restaurant helped surprise my husband with a birthday cake on our first night too. My sons loved the water slides and pool and the evening entertainment was fun

The food is very good and better than a lot of 5 star resorts we have visited. The A’la carte Greek and Asian restaurants are amazing with the food and service excellent

Our favourite was the white party disco. Although the location is remote and there isn’t a lot to do in the local area the hotel is big enough without feeling trapped. We would definitely visit again

There were pool toys and leaflets left there for days but this is something that can be easily addressed. Overall this was a fabulous trip in a modern hotel

We went down and asked if we could upgrade and they were quick to upgrade us at a very reasonable rate. We went to one of the bungalow rooms and it was very nice. Food and drinks were typical for an all inclusive resort

Great resort, staff were super helpful especially those at the restaurant. The Spa was amazing and the staff took time to speak with us before recommending treatment to book

Beware the "all inclusive" mention because we would not have considered our stay all included by any means

Location right on the beach made it a fantastic place to stay

We came in October and even though it was nearing the end of the season the service was fantastic, couldn’t fault it. The resort was great, absolutely lovely beach and the staff are all wonderful

While I understand that, it is NOT what I paid for. My definition and passed experiences of all inclusives mean you put your wallet away unless you want to book excursions, extra restaurants or purchase premium alcohols

Food options are limited and grow tiresome eating at the same restaurant for every single meal except one night in seven meals

Versatile resort. Very varied buffet and drinks.

Lovely hotel for a family holiday. Between the pools, water park and beach our water babies were in heaven; with the inclusively priced cocktails we were too! Delicious and great range of food in the buffet

We just had our second family holiday at Marine Palace and were once again very happy with everything. The location, the food and service is great!

The only slight negative we found was the lack of lactose-free yoghurt, which was surprising given the multitude of options otherwise

We have had a great time at this hotel. Plenty of great dining options, multiple swimming pools, sea access was great

You went above and beyond to ensure that every meal and every visit to the restaurant was perfect, and we will always remember your warm hospitality. Chef Giorgos, your culinary creations were absolutely exceptional

Myself and my partner have really enjoyed our stay at Lyttos Mare. The service from bar staff has been spot on. The entertainment has been amazing. in particular John who is a very warm and funny character

Great food, friendly staff, drinks are amazing and the bar staff takes their time to prepare them, beautiful beach and the spa was very relaxing. My daughter and I enjoyed our facials!

We don‘t had missed anything! @ Management: You have a great Team in place! Special thanks To Evelina - every morning starts with her smiling; To Anna - she offered outstanding Service every evening in the Main restaurant To Wasilis - the Joker at the Pool Bar, small Talk every day and quick service

The massage here was really good. I was treated by Albora, she was very friendly and polite, and the massage was perfect. The products smell amazing. Highly recommended!!!

We were guests in this Hotel for 7 days. Superior Hotel, clean and nice. Our rooms comfortable with a nice view to the Pools. Food & Beverages tasteful and always enough

It was the perfect way to end a fun-filled day at the park. The Disney shows made us feel like we were part of the story — everything was colorful, fun, and full of joy. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations

The amenities were top-notch — especially the breakfast buffet, which offered a great variety of fresh and delicious options. One of the highlights of our trip was the Cuban show in the evening

The music, dancing, and energy were simply unforgettable! The performers were so talented, and the vibrant costumes and live band created such a lively, authentic Caribbean vibe

the quality of the food is not great, and even the themed restaurants are serving food which is not good! the Rinela has had a great face lift and the sea is delightful, whilst we were there it was so windy and the life guards were excellent at keeping a watch

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff were welcoming, friendly, and attentive to every detail

The service was really good, apart from sometimes long time of waiting for drinks during shows, however it’s understandable because all people from resort are there

The beach isn't the best as no sand but lovely setting, even though there is a restaurant there you cannot eat there unless you have pre booked for 1 of your al a carte meals which is a shame as only other alternative was a hot dog or melon out of a machine

All staff very helpful especially Herson, he was very attentive and professional, nothing was too much trouble and he looked after our many drinks! The restaurant team worked hard and thanks to the chefs for a varied menu every night

Had pre booked the al a carte restaurants before we came which I strongly advise to do, The food and service in these was superb,just can't understand why you can't use more than once when they were only 1/3rd full

Not much in the buffet for children etc and most of the food luke warm When I chose an all inclusive food is a big part and really not the best

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We have had an absolutely fantastic stay. The à la carte restaurants have all been incredible with my favourite being the Mediterranean

They walked all over prepped tables and cutlery in the restaurant shortly before people sat down to eat

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

I really liked the stay and i thought the animateurs are wonderful. So much that i even thought about coming here to be one. Every staff member is really nice and if youre friendly you can definetly benifit from it:)

Absolutely superb hotel with staff who really care. The hotel is spotless, and we stayed in room 742, a beach front Bungalow. Brilliantly designed with breathtaking view. The room was cleaned every day

love the rooms, they are so pretty.. the stuff ist very kind they are very helpful und polite, i love the animateure programm, the service is also very well and the atmosphere is great in here

The whole resort is spotless and the staff are attentive but not overbearing. Special mention to Victor in the older kids club who was full of enthusiasm and really cared about his job

The food here is good but my one definite complaint is the ridiculous rule about MEN ONLY have to wear shoes at dinner…utterly ludicrous you have a room full of men in gym shoes rather than some smart sandals

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Iberostar Creta Marine. From start to finish, everything was fantastic — the atmosphere, the food, the staff, and the service

Some of the Waitresses are helpful and friendly. The Lady in the restaurants everyday who wore a beige truser suite was very helpful and friendly

We rested in the hotel twice. I want to come back for more)))

First this Hotel makes it clear that it is on the side of a hill and not suitable for people with walking difficulties. That being said I must make it clear that it is an extremely step and very of steps everywhere

Lunch is served at the Active pool, which is halfway down the site, meaning you have to walk halfway down the hill for lunch and then back up again afterwards, so if you are at the upper pool, you have to go down the hill for lunch and then back up the hill back to the upper pool

Good place to stay, helpful staff and even the fact that the hotel is on a cliff and everywhere lots of stairs does not spoil the overall impression about the hotel

The floors are sweep then wet mopped as the dining room opens for Breakfast, not only causing dust during breakfast, but also the wet floors are very slippery when walking with plates of food in both hands

Fantastic all inclusive holiday! Lovely warm welcome and taken up to our rooms

Around the pools and on the beach the staff would come and take drinks orders and deliver them to us. A big shout out to Manwella who was just amazing

Caught the public bus (3 min walk from hotel) to Heraklion. Had to speak with the general manager before I left, expressing my gratitude to the team. Only one issue, I wish I found this place sooner! See you in 2026

Bus stop 29 is a a 5 min walk from the hotel and takes you to Héraklion for only 4 Euro per person! Ignore the review that says no direct access to the beach from the hotel (unless you require step free access)

Georgia at the hotel bar, made me feel equally welcome The room was perfect! Overlooking the sea. Just wonderful Facilities, perfect! Used the gym, and spa. Both pools great with superb views

This was my first solo holiday. A single 50 something female, wanting a hotel that was big enough for me to blend, yet small enough for staff to care! I was anxious when I first arrived

I loved this resort! I recommend the all exclusive pack if you want to have a good stay! The kids loved the water park everything was fantastic! Especially the food!!!!! I really recommend this resort it has THE BEST view etc

The rooms are amazing, the staff upgraded us and we had our own plunge pool which was a nice bonus. The spa facilities are brilliant and the massages are amazing. Will definitely be staying here again

Very large and beautiful pool! The staff is very friendly! A little something for my daughter's 3rd birthday! The all-inclusive is very good! With the added bonus of à la carte dinners 👌 I highly recommend this hotel! We stayed 6 nights

Very stylish, looks like new. Extensive large pool are and the beach. Food was amazing and there are 4 restaurants for dinning. We loved the Asian restaurant, very high quality. Overall great holidays!

The hotel is really great, with beautiful sea views and a super large swimming pool. The children had a lot of fun. The all-inclusive service allows you to enjoy drinks and food anywhere in the hotel

The restaurant was open at almost any time and there were basically no restrictions. The kids loved the water slide. Although it was not big, there were not many people and they could enjoy it
