Cretan Dream Resort and Spa

Cretan Dream Resort and Spa

8/10 Good
"Our ocean view balcony was amazing! The suite was well equipped. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The outdoor pool was a pleasant temperature. The pool deck could have used more lounge chairs. Most days they were being saved and no one was actually using them. Staff needed around pool area. Could enforce rules about not holding loungers with personal items and towels for hours without using the loungers."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Kalyves cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Kalyves vary, but you can find a great deal from £45 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Kalyves is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Kalyves for beaches is along the main stretch of Kalyves Beach, particularly the eastern side of the village.

Kalyves Beach itself is a long, sandy expanse that runs parallel to the village. The eastern part of the beach is particularly much-loved for its Blue Flag status, indicating its excellent water quality and facilities. Here, you'll find a good selection of sun loungers and parasols, with tavernas and cafes often offering service directly to your spot on the sand. The beach gently shelves into the sea, making it very suitable for swimming.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will find this area ideal. You can easily spend your days by the sea, and in the evenings, stroll along the beachfront promenade to enjoy a meal at one of the many tavernas with sea views. Many accommodations in this part of Kalyves offer direct access to the beach, meaning you're only steps away from the water.

Families with children will also appreciate the eastern side of Kalyves Beach. The calm, shallow waters are excellent for younger swimmers, and the sand provides plenty of space for building sandcastles.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Kalyves?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Kalyves is during July and August, when the weather is consistently hot and sunny, ideal for beach holidays. Temperatures typically range from 28°C to 32°C, great for enjoying the pristine waters of the Aegean Sea and relaxing on the sandy shores. This period sees the highest level of activity around the beaches and seafront promenades, with all beachside amenities and water sports operating at full capacity. Families will particularly appreciate this time, as the warm sea temperatures and vibrant setting create a classic summer holiday experience.

For a slightly different but equally enjoyable experience, June offers a wonderful alternative. The weather remains beautifully warm and sunny, with temperatures averaging around 25°C to 28°C, making it excellent for swimming and sunbathing without the more intense heat of mid-summer. In June, you may find better value on hotel stays and it can be easier to secure reservations at desirable beach hotels and popular seafront restaurants.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Kalyves with Expedia?
One Key™ —Expedia's free travel rewards programme—gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Kalyves beach hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.



*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
What beach activities should we do in Kalyves?
The best beach activities in Kalyves revolve around enjoying the crystal-clear waters and sandy shores of Kalyves Beach and its quieter neighbour, Xida Beach.

Kalyves Beach itself is a long, sandy stretch with shallow, calm waters, making it great for families with young children. You'll find plenty of space for building sandcastles, gentle swimming, and simply relaxing under the Greek sun. There are often umbrellas and sunbeds available for hire, and a selection of tavernas and cafes are just a stone's throw away, so you won't have to venture far for a refreshing drink or a bite to eat.

For those looking for a bit more activity, both beaches offer excellent conditions for snorkelling. The clear waters provide good visibility, allowing you to spot small fish and marine life close to the shore. You can easily bring your own equipment or find shops nearby that rent out snorkelling gear.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Kalyves as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Kalyves for you.
