We stayed at Lyttos Beach Hotel as a family of four adults and one infant for 7 nights, and it was a wonderful experience. The food was superb, with a wide variety of options available at every meal. There are three main restaurants to choose from, plus one special restaurant available once per stay (one another was closed during our visit).
The hotel offers several bars that serve both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages throughout the day. The complex also features a water park, a kids' playground, and a club for small children — perfect for families.
The beach is right at the hotel and is well equipped with plenty of deckchairs and sun umbrellas.
What truly sets this hotel apart is the exceptional service. From the animation team and chefs to the front desk staff, everyone was friendly, professional, and eager to help. We had an issue with our original room (1208), and the staff handled it with great care. We were first offered a villa at no extra cost, but declined as it was too far from the main facilities given we were traveling with a small child. Instead, we were given a different room and a fair compensation. A special thanks to Michalis from the front desk, who was incredibly helpful and understanding throughout our stay — and even welcomed us back almost like old friends when we unexpectedly returned due to a canceled flight caused by bad weather.
Highly recommend this hotel for families looking for comfort, fun, and outstanding service.

Still here as I write this review....booked Lyttos beach but got upgraded to Lyttos Mare, which is a sort of extension to Lyttos beach. Both hotels are set on huge and beautifully kept grounds, and the ambience is very inviting and exudes a luxury feel. The resort is beautifully designed and very big, so it doesn't feel crowded at all despite a lot of guests being on vacation, with lots of varied amenities. The whole resort is kept absolutely clean, and all members of staff are super helpful. Had access to the amenities such as the Aquapark and Sports Centre on Lyttos beach, which was lovely. Dining options are numerous in both resorts, and food was mostly very good and tasty. Nikos at the Lobby bar in Lyttos Mare is an asset. He is very friendly and funny and made great cocktails. The beach front is also very clean and sunbeds plenty. There is so much to do and nibble on both resorts. Had a spa facial and massage that was also very good, though a bit pricey. I can go on and on, but all in all, a memorable vacation. ✨️

Absolutely loved our stay! Great location, delicious food, and excellent service. It’s a real paradise for kids — lots of activities and a fantastic animation team. The views are breathtaking.
We especially enjoyed the music by the pool — would be amazing if the DJ was there all the time. Perfect vibes for a relaxing holiday!

We spent 5 days here and our stay was great. Everything was really good. There are many restaurants, bars, and shops all within the resort, so you barely ever need to go anywhere. Food is also really good. There are so many swimming pools for adults and kids and the water park, it's great. And the beach, obviously, too.
What we didn't like: A/C in the room was very weak. The cooling was there, but it still felt quite warm inside the room. There are many activities for kids but it felt like not all staff members knew about it. When we asked some staff members where are the activities they didn't seemt to know much.
But overall was great experience and we enjoyed a lot.

A Decent Family Stay at Lyttos Beach Hotel,
Our family of five recently had a pleasant holiday at Lyttos Beach Hotel in Anissaras, Crete. For those looking for a family-oriented hotel in the Hersonissos area with a good range of facilities, Lyttos Beach is a noteworthy option.
The hotel grounds are well-kept, and there were enough amenities to keep our family occupied. The food offering was adequate, providing a reasonable selection, though the main buffet restaurant did tend to get quite crowded, particularly at dinner. While the themed nights offered some variation, we found the buffet did become somewhat repetitive over the course of our week-long stay. We felt an additional on-site restaurant choice with table service might have enhanced the dining experience, and this led us to try a few local spots in Hersonissos, which was a nice opportunity to sample different Cretan dishes.
We appreciated the on-site gym, which was well-equipped and available for guests to use freely. Undoubtedly, a significant draw for us was the hotel's water park. Our three young children thoroughly enjoyed the slides and pools, and seeing them have so much fun was certainly a highlight of the trip. This water park is a strong feature for families visiting this part of Crete. The kids' clubs also seemed popular and provided some good entertainment options for the children.
Access to the beach was convenient, and the children enjoyed playing on the sand. We opted for a luxury family room that came with its own swimming pool. The room had a modern design, but we found it a bit snug for five people and our luggage. However, the private pool was a definite bonus. Overall, Lyttos Beach Hotel in Anissaras provided a decent base for our family holiday in Crete. It offers many facilities geared towards families, particularly those with younger children who will love the water park.
