Lovely hotel, very contemporary and clean. My only issue was the buffet restaurant for breakfast and dinner was way too busy and a bit of a bun fight. I would recommend booking one of the smaller restaurants for a much better experience. Other than that it was excellent thank you.

This property was beautiful. Sunrise and sunset everyday. They also have a sister property right next door that you can also access. Food was amazing everyday. The beach… the pools… the lighting… this place is actually more than the pictures show.

The hotel Lyttos Mare is a fantastic place to stay. The hotel grounds are beautiful and well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The food at the hotel is amazing, with a wide variety of options to choose from, including gluten-free options. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the beds are very comfy. The beach is beautiful and the water is clear. The only downside is that the pool loungers are often reserved with towels, even when people aren't using them. We also had dinner at the Argentinean a la carte restaurant, which was incredible. Overall, we had a great stay at the Lyttos Mare hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation.

Other than that, I will recommendthis hotel to all
Amazing, as Magdalena would say at the Argentinian Restaurant. Excellent Albanian barman at the beach. Luis and Ben great also to get us to activists and bad, very bad, but does not help you with your image the Atenan guy at the sport Bar Niko or something. He smokes , drinks carless. Bad apple for your Lythos image w us the tourist that bring the money. On the contraire mike was great at the same Bar. There is a stupid worker from Lythos beach that comes and scare touring at the beach int he afternoon. he sacres the your kids and parents from North Europe.

Property was beautiful and well kept, everything clean. Wish was more dining options but that wasnt a deal breaker, the buffet was god and had variety as well as the asian rest. Didnt try the steakhouse because im vegan. One complaint is my tv stopped working and when i called front dest was told all workers go home at 10 and no one available to help it was 11pm. He would make a note and someone will come next day. Next day no service so go to front desk and same we will send someone no worries. Hours pass no one comes so i call again and was given some bs story but to my rescue a few hrs later tv fixed so 3rd tome a charm. For a 5star thats bad service. But other than that the place is great i would go back

This property is absolutely beautiful and has the potential to be excellent. During my 8 day stay from the US we were disappointed with the activities onsite. The pool closes at 7p, there are no swim up bars and staff lacks offering drinks while you’re in the pool. All restaurants close by 10p and only serve beer or wine. If you’re hungry after an excursion note theres no room service. The resort did not have entertainment nightly, there’s no club or adult activities throughout the day or night minus a dj playing for 2hrs two of the 8 days we were there. We found ourselves having to go off site for entertainment/nightlife which defeats the purpose of all inclusive. While we wanted to relax away from a party resort this falls under senior citizen resort, for the price we paid this was disappointing. I will state the staff was pleasant and our room stayed clean when requested. Drinks are ok, if you want a great experience ask for the strawberry margarita extra grand mariner. Crete is a beautiful island with lots to see and do.
