Hi all,
I'm just back from the Lyda beach and I must say it was fantastic!!! On a cleanliness level its ok not too bad the rooms are quite basic however but its up to yourself if you want to wallow in the room or visit the brilliant bar staff!!
They are just amazing ..especially Andreas he is the ticket!!! They all love the Irish so if your up for a bit of crack these guys will facilatate you no problem!!
I'm going again in June can't wait..its in the middle of no where but the suroundings are gorgeous...just hire a car like I did..because its the nicest place to stay but is kind of isolated and buses can be a pain.

This year was our third visit to Lyda studios so that tells its own story.
The hotel staff and location was the main attraction for us. It's child friendly and safe with three great pools, two great bars and good food.
The staff are all friendly and helpful and the Wednesday night greek night was not to be missed.
We will be back again next year.

My husband and i arrived at this hotel it was worse than fawlty towers, the lobby was disgusting and the staff disorganised. we arrived 3am and the partying was still on from the night before, the girls in the room next to ours sounded like they were running a whorehouse. being sick outside our room, crying, trying to get into our room etc. the staff were indifferent. when i asked the rep the next day could we move hotels there was nothing else available so we did get to move rooms but that took two days. also it was awful in that there were irish flags everywhere. I am proud to be irish but do not feel the need to hang my flag from my balcony, and certain people would be upset by this.it was awful. gouves itself was a lovely little place but i wouldnt stay at this hotel again if you paid me.

We stayed in Lyda Studios - there are two Lyda properties, Lyda Beach is right on the beach and the studios are about 10 minutes walk from the beach. Both are in Gouves, which is not your typical loud resort. Yes it has a strip of restaurants and bars with people trying to get you in, but in general it is smaller and more low key compared to Hersonnisis etc. We had a great time, as it was so peaceful and lad back.
The Lyda studios are basically in the countryside, with most amenities about a 10 - 15 minute walk away...great for really getting away from things.
The apartments are your basic Greek style, don't expect anything swish but its great for the price you are getting it for. It has three pools which is brilliant - if kids are annoying you at one pool you can simply move pools.
The bars are good fun and lively enough - there is a small poolside bar run by Gianni where we spent most our time - he plays nice chilled out music and creates a warm friendly atmosphere - great for those nights when you can't be bothered venturing or out, or when you get back early from the restaurant. By our final night, we were on first name terms with most of our co-holiday makers by hanging out at that bar.
The other bar is noisier and serves food, which is pretty edible and cheap. They have karaoke and stuff like that there.
I would definitely recommend Lyda studios, if you want a relaxing, quiet holiday, where you will get away from it all, and you don't have to spend a huge amount.

Lyda Apartments. Don't stay there, I made the mistake to choose this place. Choose, instead, Hersonissos. Gouves is the ugliest place in whole Crete (confirmed even by cretans). Just road, and ugly beaches, but Crete is beautiful.
The bad location of the apartments plus the fact that you have to give 100
