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.

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.

Very well kept property with a wonderful pool and even more wonderful staff. Food for breakfast is fantastic and very reasonably priced cocktails around the pool. The only downside is the number of smokers which meant it was rather unpleasant to sit on the balcony. This is not the hotels fault though!
