We stayed 2 weeks at The Lyda Club Hotel, which is only 20 min away from the airport in Heraklion, and 2 min away from the local bus station.
Rooms, swimming pools and dining room are clean, all the staff is super friendly and speak all very good English, some also French or other languages.
Food: fresh vegetables every day, different meat dishes, different salads and pasta dishes, few fish dishes, but fruits has been the same at lunch and dinner for 2 weeks. More local greek cusine ( especially fish) could add more variaty.
Show cooking is quite ridiculos, grilling sausages or frozen hamburger patties is not an highlight!
Services: they have only 3 departing hours for the beach shuttle bus ( at 10.00, 12.00 and 15.00 o clock) there is NO shuttle in the evening from the beach to the hotel, you have to walk 20 min back.
On Sundays NO shuttle bus at all. Not very good in the high tourist season!
Animation: NOT existent during the mornings at the pool, there has never been Acquagym as indicated. Just 2 afternoons 15 min Miniclub animation at the pool
Evening: quite boring, no animation programm or something organized.
During weekends: NO ANIMATION AT ALL.
We have celebrated our son's birthday during our stay, and we asked for a small just symbolic cake. The restaurant baked him a huge, delicious and beautiful cake. Thanks so much, it was very good and nice!!!!
In the evenings. only 20 min of Miniclub Babydance
