"Generally a positive review especially the staff who were excellent. Family friendly with food surprisingly good for an all inclusive, a notch down from restaurant quality but good value for the overall price. Facilities otherwise excellent which are clearly geared for children with the exception of the ‘quiet pool’ (one of four pools).
Negatives as follows:
Bar area poor, no adult vibe whatsoever with simple tables and hard chairs located next to the children’s play area which tends to be...

"It's a great hotel for families, offering excellent facilities and amenities, good food, comfortable rooms, and easy access to several beautiful beaches.
The only downside was that complimentary drinking water wasn't provided. Having to purchase bottled water separately was disappointing and felt out of place for an all-inclusive hotel. Other than that, we had a very enjoyable stay."

"I enjoyed my vacation at Lyda Club Hotel. The room was so clean. The sheets and towels were changed every day. The food which was buffet style was pretty good. I liked the snack bar where they had barbecue almost every evening. Sometimes they had pasta. Overall, it was good and convenient. The staff is nice and friendly. I recommend it. "

"The room was clean and the staff can’t do enough for you. Everyone was very attentive and the food/drink options are fantastic. The hotel is busy so it can be hard to get a sun bed after 10:30am but overall it is a very beautiful place to visit."

"As a family traveling with our child and staying in many beautiful five-star hotels around the world, we can honestly say that this hotel has everything you could ask for. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the food and cocktails are delicious, and every member of the staff very friendly and kind.
What impressed us the most is that the all-inclusive experience is clearly created with genuine care rather than as an afterthought. There is an incredible variety of food and drinks, ensuring...

"Food was lacking and very very expensive for crete the collection side of the hotel is a must book if you want a modern room and the gym was excellent"
"It's a nice and quiet hotel.
Location: A bit far from town or the beach.
Breakfast: at a first glimpse it looks rich but then you realize there isn't much to eat if you're looking for a healthy start. Only goat yogurt, basic kids' cereal, tasteless coffee, canned juice... Greece should be the capital of healthy and tasty cuisine.
Room with sea view: we paid extra for sea view - it was blocked by palm trees... No desk in the room in case you need to work on your laptop.
Gym: I can call this a gym. It was well below any standard for a gym.
Pool and surrounding - perfect.
Pool bar perfect.
Staff - very accommodating knowledgeable and pleasant. ."
"Breakfast and views were great. Room had no luggage racks or places to open luggage, shower was beautiful but no door so the floor got soaked while showering"
"Incredible property, amazing location. Rooms are very spacious, comfortable beds. Food at all outlets was really delicious - and the consistency of the buffet breakfast was impressive. Property is quite large, but you're never left waiting long to get a buggy to take you from one part of the resort to the other. Another massive plus for families is how well staff cater to your needs. Not only is the kids club an amazing resource, but even down to how staff across all restaurants are so good and friendly with children. The beach club is also super chic, food is great there too. The water at the beach is fresh, but so beautiful, amazing blues. I would recommend if you are staying in the eastern part of Crete - this is the place to be, it's a resort feel without being to commercial and touristy feeling - a great balance of luxury and reality, given the area it's located in (situated between the small village of Plaka and larger town of Elounda)"
"An absolutely stunning property with the most proactive, helpful and attentive staff I've ever seen at a resort.
Other reviews already highlight how beautiful the resort is, so thought I'd leave specific info about accessibility, as it was a lot better than I anticipated from previous info online. My wife uses a wheelchair, although can manage short distances/a few steps. Although the resort is on a slope with multiple tiers, most of the grounds are feasible for a wheelchair; going from main reception to the bungalows, most communal grounds and the route towards the beach are all slopes. To get down to the beach and the beach bar itself, there are maybe 10 steps. Similarly, to get to the buffet restaurant, there are a few steps.
If you're in a situation like us, where a wheelchair is generally needed but a few steps are manageable, don't let it put you off the resort. The staff were SO helpful and kind. They pre-emptively offered taking us on the golf cart, let us park our car next to the reception, always found ways to make trips easier and even, the night before we were set to leave, had the hotel repairman repair a loose screw on the wheelchair!
I can't thank the staff enough for their support; they made us feel completely relaxed and as though we had to make no compromises even with accessibility needs. Thank you."
