I'll start by saying we only got back from this holiday on June 17th after a great 2 week stay, and by June 20th we had already booked our next 2 week stay for July 26. It's that good!||The first point I must make regarding hotel itself is about the excellent staff. It doesn't matter if you stay in the nicest hotel in the world, if the staff are impolite/rude/unprofessional, it WILL ruin your holiday. The staff here are amazing and the main factor in us returning next year. Reception staff (including bellboys) are very polite and professional, restaurant staff the same and very hard working and Giorgios the main restaurant manager, is an extremely nice, helpful and engaging guy, always smiling and chatting.|As we spent most of our days around the Laguna pools and bar, and nights around the same bar, we had a great time engaging with the staff there. A special mention to my friend Manolis, the daytime bar manager, who I got on great with engaging in Greek as best I could (and will be upset if he's not there next year), and also to Alexa from the night time staff, such a happy, smiley and engaging girl, not only with us but everyone in the bar. The rest of the staff there also - Maria, Vasilis, Tellis, Yasin & Parim. Apologies if I've missed anybody. And at the lobby bar - Nicos, a very nice young man. I hope all of these staff are paid above the average, as like I mentioned, they are majorly responsible for guests coming back!||Having stayed at Lyttos Beach 2 years ago and loving it, we were really excited about staying at Lyttos Mare and we weren't disappointed! This hotel is absolutely stunning, which you get the feel of as soon as you enter the immaculate reception area. This carries on throughout every area of the whole place. The rooms, grounds, restaurants, bars and pool areas are all modern, well maintained and kept as clean as is physically possible throughout the entire day by extremely hard working staff.||We had an Exclusive Superior Room with pool or sea view which as it turns out had a pool and a sea view which was great. The beds were very comfortable, bathroom clean and modern, great tea and coffee amenities, iron/ironing board (a must) and ample wardrobe space. The room was cleaned daily to a good standard.||The main restaurant is well laid out with a fantastic range of food and ample seating. Like any all-inclusive buffet restaurant, especially with young children, it could be chaotic at peak times but the staff work so hard to clean up and re-lay all tables ready for next guests. We ate at the steak house once which was very nice but the standout restaurant is definitely the Asian buffet which we ate at twice. Every single dish here was absolutely gorgeous. The wine served at every bar and restaurant here is very good quality and the beer is also pretty good.||The pool areas are about the cleanest we've ever seen and the quality of the sunbeds are amazing, so comfortable. I've read other reviews regarding anger towards the reserving of sunbeds in morning and I totally agree. I must admit to being one of those who are out early getting ours, but I stay there with them. Every morning I lay there watching people put towels down at 07:00 and not return until 10:30/11:00. This is totally unacceptable and it was satisfying to see that during our last few days, the bell boys coming out with a trolley and removing towels.|The pool areas around the restaurant and Laguna Bar are beautifully lit at night with with multi-coloured fountains in operation.||The entertainment was good with shows on at the ampitheatre and varying live acts at the Laguna Bar, the best of which was a great saxaphonist. I also need to mention Sophie from the entertainments team, a lovely girl who we chatted to multiple times around the pool during the day and also at night as she was doing the rounds. One of the team, a Polish guy, was also a very accomplished magician who tried his hardest to engage with our autistic son (much appreciated), and Kiko, who was hilarious! ||This was the best family holiday ever and on returning home we've never had the holiday blues like it, hence the almost instant re-booking. Thanks Lyttos, and please retain all of your staff, especially Manolis and Alexa! See...
Read moreWe visited Lyttos Mare with our family (me, my husband and 4 year old son) and my sister's family (husband and teenage kids) in July 2025. The hotel were great and placed us in rooms next to each other which made a huge difference as 2 of our kids have disabilities. ||First impressions: Incredibly warm welcome into a calm, clean, airy hotel. Everything was handled as we relaxed with a drink in the large reception lounge. Porters took all of our bags to the rooms and were shocked when we tipped them. Really incredible service from the start. ||Location: 30 mins from the airport, very pleasant drive to get there. No town centres within walking distance but that wasn't a priority for us. is it possible to walk down the beach to other hotels and supermarkets. ||Food: Great range of food, clearly labelled for allergies. There was a vegan area every day which helped a member of our family out. The greek taverna and asian restaurants were absolutely excellent and served the most delicious food. The range on offer in the buffet restaurant for all three meals was impressive. Waiting staff were so warm and attentive. Shout out to Kalia at the Taverna who was such a sweetheart with our child who has lots of challenges with food. The staff really are a level above here. The beachside snack bar was also excellent. I loved never having to think about where to get yummy food. ||Facilities: Amazing pool for the youngsters. My four year old went from a nervous paddler to throwing himself down waterslides by the end of the week. He is still speaking about the childs pool with pirate slide now months later. The splashpark / waterpark areas were great fun and offered a lovely place to escape to each day as they were 5 / 10 min walk away. The minimart on site is so well stocked and the staff are attentive and in the case of the man who works from 3pm onward, absolutely hilarious and charming. ||Beach: The location is phenomenal - direct access to the beach with good food, drinks and ice creams right there. (Bar staff here were all so pleasant and jolly - they had the holiday spirit the entire time and lifting everyones moods). The sunbeds were incredibly comfortable and the sea was perfect for young children to swim - hardly any waves the whole time we stayed. The only issue we had was on our last day when all of the beds were taken up with towels in the morning. We ended up putting towels on the sand in front of the water - without any shade. It was a shame as most beds weren't visited in the two hours we were there. This is a guest issue rather than hotel though and I unfortunately noticed a section of guests assuming that spaces were private and for them rather than shared resources for everyone to enjoy. ||Rooms: Spotlessly clean, spacious, soundproofed from outside noise. We were opposite the next door hotels stage and with the balcony doors shut the noise was just ambient and totally fine. We had a family room with split spaces and it met our needs perfectly. Shower was perfect pressure and I loved the way it was a waterfall / handheld split. ||Vibe: The evenings were just wonderful. perfect temperature. Great food. So spacious and airy with lots of space to wander, relax etc.. i never felt it was overly busy. The nighttime entertainment was chill in the Mare hotel and full of energy in Lyttos Beach so you could decide what you'd like to do. Every evening we went for a family beach walk to watch the stunning sunsets. ||You can tell that the management of this hotel takes guest satisfaction very seriously and take pride in their hotel. We had an incredible time at Lyttos Mare and...
Read moreWe have a very special and great experience at Lyttos Mare. Since our arrival until check-out, we have enjoyed every moment. The hotel is very big and lovely. It is very nice to always go walk in the hotel. There are many pools in different depths – notice that all pools are light salty water, including the pool rooms. Near the mini market there are few shops, which you may find anything of clothes, food, or pool games for the kids. Near the mini market is the play room with arcade games, different kind of games and lovely to have family time there. Pay attention that these games need 1 euro to play for most of them.
Beach is wonderful, the water temperature was fine and very close to the snack bar Ilias and all the guys at the lobby are very lovely and helpful.
We had a room with pool, which we used it almost every day. The balcony it great as well. Bed and pillow are comfort, the room was big and nice. The towel that we only needed to change has been changed daily. Free mini bar and coffee machine that filled with capsules every day.
You have different restaurants, we tried all of them and all are very good. The main restaurant under the lobby is excellent and has variety almost with everything on all meals of the day. Taverna restaurant is very good as well and has various foods and desserts. Snack bar is very nice to eat pizza or gyros during the day, especially if you are wet after swimming and need to eat something tasty with the kids. The Asian restaurant is included in all inclusive package, and need to be reserved earlier in order to eat there, the food was very tasty and recommended. All the food was fresh and tasty!
Bars are awesome and have almost everything you want. Most of the drinks are included in all inclusive package. Giorgos at the lobby bars always welcome you with a great smile, Leonidas at the pool bar is always great to have a conversation with, loves what he does and a very friendly person. Finally, Nikolas at the rainbow always smiling and makes a great atmosphere to sit there at nights. These guys make your stay extra great!
The animation team are very lovely, Adrianna, Martina and all the other which I forgot their names, every day make hard work just to let you have fun and activities with almost everything you would like to do. Just have their weekly schedule and notice that some of them are making in the sister hotel Lyttos Beach. Keep up the great work all the animation team, you rock!
You can visit the Lyttos Beach the sister hotel freely and use their facilities such as pool and slides. You can use the snack bar at the slides pool if you have the all-inclusive. The mini club for the kids has many things to do, and they have weekly program as well. Very lovely team!
The only two cons which I think need to be better, is the kids shows that starts at 21:30 and may last until 22:30-23:00. Most of the kids can be tired and want to get some rest, would be better if it could be slightly earlier. The second thing is the sunbeds at the pool, which I think most guests faced this issue. If you are looking for sunbed near to the pool at 8:00 in the morning, then you are late. Most of the people reserve the sunbeds very early. So, you need to wake up very early to reserve sunbeds. The main problem with this issue is that some people reserve and don’t come, which is very rude and not respectful. At one of the days, we reserved sunbed and we have been there from the morning until 17:30, and the sunbed near to us was reserved by some people which never came all day, while other people were searching for places to sit.
Finally, we recommend this hotel...
