"The hotel is located about 5-10 minute walk to the beach with a bunch of restaurants around as well as a ton of pools.
Breakfast was excellent! Would stay here again."
"We visited Balito with a family of 7 and had the most wonderful stay. The hotel is small but updated and it is run by a wonderful family who makes you feel at home. The pool area is lovely and the breakfast and coffee is perfect in the morning. The rooms were good for our large family (we had two rooms with 3 beds each) and the area is very walkable. It’s about a 14 min walk to the beach (with my slower children) and a 10 min taxi into Chania. There is also a bus to take you to town and some of...

"Minoa Palace in Chania is one of the best resorts out there. All the staff are so kind and hospitable. A special thank you to Almera, who took care of our stay from day one until our departure; she is so kind and one of the best at what she does. Thank you also to Labrini (I hope I'm spelling their name correctly). The accommodation was beautiful, located right in front of the beach, and we had a private pool & private cabana by the beach that was exclusively for us during our stay. The food was excellent. The location is the best. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Elafonisi beach, arranged by the wonderful receptionist; our trip to the pink sand beach was a highlight. I would stay here again and highly recommend it. Thank you for your VIP treatment of us; I can’t thank you enough. Thank you, everyone!"
"I had a wonderful time at the hotel! I loved the spa, the pool and had the best night sleeps! It is a shame that the main restaurant does not serve a real espresso from ground coffee beans as it would have been nice to enjoy a good cup of coffee with the wonderful breakfast, but despite this, I will happily return to the hotel"
"We were upgraded to a newly remodeled suit which had a great contemporary theme. The host and staff were excellent. If you are planning to be in this area of Crete, I highly recommend this property!"

"The hotel is beautiful! It has a decent size but feels like we are in a boutique hotel. Never crowded or noisy. Service was excellent.
Super clean and beautifully decorated.
The beach is lovely, sandy and calm and just a few steps away from the hotel what's really convenient.
There are several restaurants around the hotel and it's only 13min by car to Chania old town.
The pools are amazing, but cold. Also the private plunge in the room was too cold.
The bathroom was small and with no shelves to put our toiletries. The shower had only a small curtain protecting it and water was going everywhere.
Spa was beautiful but only 30 min access included per day.
Breakfast was varied and delicious!
Drinks are expensive.
Overall an amazing place in a great location with a perfect set up for a relaxed beach holiday. Highly recommended!

"Our 5 night stay at the Cretan Dream Resort was excellent.
Nothing to fault about the Resort only that Stalos doesn't offer a great choice for evening dining and there isn't much of an atmosphere either.
Hire a car for a short drive, 7.5km, into neighbouring Platanias for a wide selection of excellent restaurants, bars, shops and entertainment."
"The staff were very helpful with any questions i had. I was able to get a parking spot every night. Pretty good restaurants within walking distance. The breakfast buffet was nice"
