"Food excellent, lots of choices and tasty.
Reception staff and other staff friendly and helpful. Room was excellent and comfortable
Entertainment staff good with lots going on day and night
Only negative is the cleanliness of the pool. It is murky and green coloured and we had upset stomach after swimming. Perfect hotel otherwise "
"The bar area of the hotel is really nice and the pool area and it’s on a beautiful beach. The breakfast was excellent and the food we ordered at lunch. The rooms were really nice and big. The Bathroom could be slightly more modern compared to the rooms but it was clean and fine. Would definitely go back to this hotel. "
"Booked as a last minute 3 night stay for my wife and I, having not been to Crete previously.
The hotel was great. Large clean room with a sea view, 2 pools, a water park and plenty of sunbeds. There is also a reserved area on the beach for hotel guests with an all inclusive bar right next to it.
The food was good, with plenty of choice.
I would 100% recommend this hotel. We are already looking at returning again with our kids."
"Beautiful property away from all the tourist trap properties. Very clean, huge breakfast brought to your door every morning. Great people running it. Very relaxing place to be."
"A small group of modern appartments in a rural location with a great pool and stunning views. 20 min walk from village with good restaurants and shops. Staff are very pleasant and helpful. Going breakfast available.
The walk back from the village is steep but a taxi was 5 Euros. If you get the exact Google Maps location it is not difficult to find. "
"Nice heritage village, which we explored during our stay. The view from the restaurant was fantastic and the breakfast delicious. Room had basic facilities."

Title: A Perfect Blend of Relaxation, Luxury & Fitness – Lytton Beach Resort, Crete
Our stay at Lytton Beach Resort in Crete was absolutely outstanding. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, top-tier amenities, or a place to stay fit while on vacation, this resort ticks all the boxes—and then some.
The food selection was incredible, with a wide variety of fresh, flavorful options to choose from every day. We especially appreciated the adult-only seating area in the main restaurant, which provided a peaceful and more refined dining atmosphere.
The resort featured numerous open bars, and not once did we have to wait in line. The bartenders were fantastic—attentive, friendly, and creative—offering us custom cocktails that weren’t even on the menu. It was clear they took pride in their craft and genuinely cared about making our experience special.
The beach was pristine, with soft sand and crystal-clear water perfect for swimming. Each evening brought stunning sunsets over the sea, creating unforgettable memories.
The spa services were another highlight—deeply relaxing treatments provided by kind and professional staff who made sure every detail was just right.
As a swimmer, I was thrilled with the aquatic facilities. The resort offers both a 50-meter outdoor pool, perfect for serious laps, and a 25-meter indoor pool for quieter sessions or early AM."

"This property was amazing!! We stayed for 3 nights for our honeymoon and loved it. There are 3 shared pools (one quiet, one with a pool bar and one infinity pool). There is a beach right across the street. There is basketball and tennis courts, a spa and a breakfast and dinner buffet on site. There is even a little store with pretty much anything you could need. The hotel staff was great and helped us book transport to and from the ferry ports. Our room was beautiful which had a private pool for us, we highly recommend this stay! "

"We had the most incredible stay at Village Heights Resort and couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our honeymoon. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality that made us feel truly special.
They made our honeymoon unforgettable with thoughtful touches that made us feel celebrated and cared for. Whether it was the beautifully prepared room, the complimentary wine, we felt completely spoiled.
The resort itself is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and full of charm. It offered the perfect balance of relaxation and luxury, with breathtaking views, lovely pools, and quiet spots to unwind.
A heartfelt thank you to the entire team at Village Heights Resort for making our honeymoon so magical! We can’t wait to return someday!"

"We arrived at the hotel and immediately they upgraded our room to a room with a private pool (very nice, but unfortunately not usable). Everything was perfect and appreciated. The food in the main room is excellent and with a wide selection, the chef is always there with a big smile. On the other hand, in the two restaurants, unfortunately, the food is not made on site, Just heats it up and serves it. It's a shame, because these are good quality products! Anyway, this is not a complaint, just sharing our feelings.
We definitely recommend the place, and of course we will go back there soon!"
