Tylissos Beach Hotel - Adults Only in Ierapetra

I stayed at the beginning of September with my parents for a week in this beautiful and comfortable hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed. Our room was spacious, tastefully decorated, and very clean. We were given a room with a front balcony, even though we had originally booked one with a side sea view. I had read beforehand that these rooms might be noisy, so I was quite curious. But to our surprise, it was completely peaceful—we even slept with the balcony doors open and could only hear the gentle sound of the sea. It was absolutely wonderful.

The beach is very well maintained, and the sea—typical for Greece—shines in stunning shades of blue. The food was excellent: everything was delicious, with plenty of variety, and it felt just like homemade cooking. A big thank you to the chef and the entire staff—you truly feel like part of one big family here.

I can only highly recommend this hotel!

After a 3.5 hour bus ride from the airport arriving late pm, the last drop, we were so looking forward to getting to the hotel. The greeting from an older lady at reception couldn’t have been more unwelcoming, rude with not even a hello or a smile. They left us some food out which was awful, the room also had no balcony, we booked this hotel as it stated every room had one. We spoke to the receptionist again who again rudely reacted and said speak to the manager at 9am. We seriously thought we had made a mistake booking this hotel, we got to receptionist at 9am only to be told the manager wasn’t there until 11am, so we returned. Apparently the balcony room wasn’t on our voucher and is extra which wasn’t stated, anyhow they moved us to a side view room with a balcony, which was much nicer, thats all we wanted. Things got much better after that, the breakfasts, evening food, was very good after all, plenty of choice and variety. The staff apart from the rude reception lady were so nice and friendly, Stavros the barman was a top man, he made our stay and evenings, very friendly, a funny guy! Maria was also a lovely lady, kind and helpful, Teddy who ran the animation team did a very good job, from beach activities to evening entertainment including, music nites, kareoke and bingo! The beach is just across a fairly busy toad, not a problem, plenty of sunbeds with a nice beach bar run by another friendly guy. Nice sea views, chilled. The walk to leapetra is about 10-15 minutes, easy walk, you can cut through to the promenade which is pleasant through to the bars and restaurants. We hired car for 3 days as you are a little cut off, we visited Agios Nikolos and Mytos which are nice places to go. All in all we enjoyed our stay, the staff are lovely (-1) and would recommend if you aren’t too fussy about the smaller things.

Beautiful hotel almost on the beach. Very clean rooms, perfect service. We prefer adult friendly hotels, so this hotel is the right match. Excellent food every day, great program (aqua gym, games, karaoke, culture evening etc.). And last but not least: the best personel ever, nice people doing perfectly their job.

Staff at this hotel made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Fruit plater in room and Bottle of wine.Dorian n the restaurant was fantastic nothing too much bother. Always smiling and so good at her job. Stavros in the bar very attentive. Entertainment duo worked very hard. We were in a party of 12 and had a fantastic time also got engaged on karaoke night so such a memorable holiday. Did good for an all inclusive Greek dishes as well and so much choice at breakfast. Plenty of sunbds on the private beach and around the pool.more choice of spirits on all inclusive would have been good. One of the best relaxing holidays had for a long time.

We went on holiday with my friend looking for pure relaxation and an easy, peaceful stay. We mainly chose this hotel because of its location right by the beach and it really delivered. From the moment we arrived, everything matched our expectations, a beautiful clean beach just a few steps away, super friendly staff and amazing, varied food. Every day there were plenty of options meat, vegetarian, even vegan and the menu kept changing, so we never got bored. A big plus were the animators, always cheerful, helpful with tips on what to see in town and they made the atmosphere even better. Overall, we were more than happy. Perfect spot, great service and exactly the kind of holiday we needed.

The hotel was excellent, fantastic staff and food wonderful ..better than many of the surrounding restaurants. Plentiful and as an adults only hotel free from fast food. No complaints at all. Rooms clean and the ladies who serviced them friendly and efficient. The reception staff were multi lingual and a fountain of information. We loved sitting on the terrace outside in the evening. I made good use of the brother and sister run spa and walked on air after my treatments. Lovely pool area..never packed…such a relief after years of child friendly hotels! Beautiful beach area as well. My only issue is the balconies. The view from ours would have been spectacular except that once you sat down there was a very strategically placed concrete bar that totally obliterated any view. It was like sitting in a concrete box. All the rooms have the same balcony, so I imagine the views are all very restricted. Not a problem if you don’t plan to use it. A shame because it is otherwise a truly stunning hotel. But I would like to thank all the staff for a wonderful holiday. X

Our stay at this hotel was pleasant and comfortable. The food was good, and what we really appreciated was that every evening there were new and varied dishes at dinner. Although the furniture in the room wasn’t very modern, this wasn’t a problem for us, as we appreciated how clean the room was - the housekeeping ladies did an exceptional job and provided us with fresh towels every day. The staff was very nice and friendly, especially the restaurant team and the animation crew.

The beach is indeed rocky, but we found a good spot to enter the water, so it wasn’t a problem for us.

One aspect that could be improved is the pedestrian crossing in front of the hotel, which is not clearly marked. It would be helpful if a speed bump were installed, as cars not only fail to yield to pedestrians, but also tend to drive at very high speeds, something that shouldn't happen near a crosswalk. I'm not sure whether this falls under the hotel's responsibility or that of the local authorities, but it's definitely a safety concern worth addressing.

Overall we had a great experience and would recommend Tylissos Beach Hotel.

Very comfortable hotel with great staff, where you feel at home. Pleasant environment, great cuisine, clean everywhere, thank you for a great holiday. Greetings from Slovakia.💕
