The reception area doesn't look very nice, but once you go inside the property and grounds, it's another world. The property grounds were beautiful with good amenities like a spa, gym, and pools. There is a pool bar and a restaurant on-site. Parking was free and plentiful. The room we stayed in was spacious with a large balcony to enjoy the ocean view and to have a glass of wine with the lovely ocean breeze. Very good options for breakfast. The area is quiet and right across the end of a beach. All in all, a very nice stay. I would consider staying here again if I come back to the area.

A True Slice of Paradise at Cretan Dream Resort!

From the moment we arrived at Cretan Dream Resort, we knew we were in for something special. The warmth and friendliness of the staff set the tone for our entire stay — every member of the team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared. Our room was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and had stunning sea views. The food was absolutely delicious, with a great mix of local and international dishes — every meal was a highlight. A perfect place to relax and enjoy Crete. We’ll definitely be back!

There is something really weird, they have a picture of dead person at the reception with a very strong smelly candle burning all day long... and the other point that made me give a low rate is that they cannot put any infrastructure at the beach in front of the hotel because it is a protected area for turtles. It should be informed in advance about the protectec area for the guests that are making reservations.

My girlfriend and I stayed 2 weeks, and this resort is my favorite place in the world. The people that work here are so nice, food is amazing, you can get snacks/drinks anytime 24/7, the WiFi works well (I worked remotely here for 2 weeks). Beautiful views. Our bartenders Manolis and Christo and Maria and everyone would go far out of their way to do you favors. Amazing drinks. It’s the perfect amount of bougie-ness for the price. We stayed in a suite with a balcony overlooking the water and it was super cheap for what we paid. They sometimes have live music and Tomahawk steaks!!! Wow. I love it here. The little town to the west is super cute.

We had our honeymoon here in Sept 24, we had the honeymoon suite which was very spacious and had a huge outside area with a hot tub and a great view of the sea all around, fantastic ! Breakfasts were really good and the food was superb as was the wine ! You can easily walk to the beach and there is a lot of restaurants and bars in walking distance. The Steak night is great and so is the Cretan dance night ! Lovely hotel with a spa and large infinity pool.

Exactly what it is called, Cretan Dream. We wanted to stay somewhere with a pool, as we have been at the beach for many weeks everyday, so we decided we wanted for a couple days to stay at a hotel with a nice pool and a bar beside the pool, as we love to enjoy cocktails all day and night. The hotel was like being at the sea, because all you had to do was lean on the edge of this enormous pool and enjoy the view. One of, if not the best hotels in Crete and we have been to many. We did not have a car, but everything was within a couple kilometres at night to enjoy, so we took a taxi everywhere, 8-10 euros. Great restaurant with of course the sea view and the breakfast, was amazing also. Was my wife and just me, couldn’t ask for a better romantic experience overlooking the sea.
