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.

This is my third time at this resort. I've been at several hotels in the Chania area and this is the *only* one I have ever returned to. It is simply the best. The views are extraordinary, the staff are amazing and really go out of their way to make your stay memorable. You simply aren't experiencing all that Crete has to offer if you aren't staying here. It is the best hotel in my opinion and the only one worth returning to.

I can not praise this place enough. The food is amazing and perfectly priced. The people are friendly and accommodating no matter what you need from the waiters to reception to the cleaning staff, everyone is SO HELPFUL & FRIENDLY!!!! There’s a cute kids playground and a great pool. We got the sea view suites and our views were marvelous as well. All around spectacular stay.

Ideally located just outside of the more touristy areas but easy walking to some great restaurants and a short bus ride to Chania. Hotel excellent. Staff fab. Beach lovely and safe once past the rocks. Would definitely stay again if we could.

Lovely hotel. Staff were very friendly and our room was clean.
The hotel complex was great-pools was big enough and there were enough sun lounges.
The beach opposite wasn’t very nice and the direct surroundings weren’t either.
Just a short walk away from a shop, restaurants and better beaches. Overall a great holiday.

Elderly couples need to know that certain areas of resort require many stairs. The design of the hotel is NOT friendly to senior citizens. When we asked to be moved because of difficulty, nothing could be done. We will not return, and advise Seniors to make certain to request rooms having good elevator access! VERY disappointed.

We were able to get to our room even though we were very early getting to the hotel. Easy access to the beach. The included breakfast is really great.
5.0 / 5.0
They have the sweetest staff which makes all the difference-so attentive and caring.
The hotel also serves some of the freshest food.
Being gluten free can also make it difficult to travel but the hotel has gluten free food products in their lobby market! They also went back to get my little one gluten free toast in the morning and used the back oven to avoid cross contamination. They were SO accommodating. Which made a world of difference to us. I was even told of their water filter in the hotel which filters all of the water. This level of health mindedness impressed me so much.
I can't say enough good things about The Cretan Dream- it is the only place I'll stay at while in Crete.
5.0 / 5.0
I have nothing really negative to say about our stay here. Perhaps the pool is not as big as I thought it would be and getting an umbrella and sunbed was quite difficult. But that is the case with every hotel I was at in Crete. Also the beach directly across the hotel is not great. But if you walk just three minutes down the road there are beachfront restaurants/bars with umbrellas and sunbeds. Very reasonable prices. Bottom line is we had a great time. And if anyone that is going to be in the area I would recommend this property.

An aspiring 4- star hotel at best. The reception service proved to be quite disappointing. Our room was very bad.It was situated in the basement, the room lacked any view whatsoever due to an obstructed window. Despite our attempts to switch rooms, the hotel insisted on an additional charge of 60 Euros per night. The condition of our assigned room was far from satisfactory, with everything appearing quite antiquated. Even the TV was small and outdated, and the safe required a physical key from the reception rather than a digital interface.
On the brighter side, breakfast was acceptable, the pool met our standards, and parking arrangements were satisfactory. It's worth noting that the hotel's location necessitates guests to have their own vehicle for convenient access.

Room is nice and clean. Staffs are amazing and very helpful and friendly. The pool area is beautiful. Would stay here again if we’re in Chania next time.

Such a beautiful property- unlike any other. The front desk staff are also SO helpful and available all the time. The food is incredible and the views are the best! This is the only hotel in the area that I've ever actually returned to- it is the best one in Crete! If you have time to try the spa, I highly recommend that you do! Best facial ever. Once you experience The Cretan Dream, you won't want to stay anywhere else.

Really enjoyed our stay at The Cretan Dream! The staff are *SO friendly* and really went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and happy. The food was AMAZING and they had great entertainment nights with cultural dances and music. There is a bus stop right outside of the hotel so going to the city centre was super easy. The rooms were clean and the beds were so comfortable. I already booked my next stay!

Amazing property, restaurant steak night was maybe the best steak i ever had, close to city centre and most beach clubs and staff know all the hidden gems.
3.0 / 5.0
A mixed bag…. The hotel is situated on a busy road. Unfortunately our room faces the road which has a lot of traffic and the pool and bar. So it can get quite noisy. The hotel in parts is rundown - rooms are dated, furniture worn, and although fine for 1-2 nights not great for a longer family stay. It pays to have a car to visit other areas, beaches, Chania is 20 mins by car. The pool area and grounds are attractive and food & customer service is very good.
