Fabulous hotel, fab rooms and cleaned daily. Great food at the pool bar, nothing too much problem for the chef. The staff were amazing and fun, great atmosphere. Perfect location next to supermarket one side, bakery other side, 2 min walk to the beach where you find a stretch of shops and tavernas.

I was dropped off late at night on the main sea road and told to go up a lane. There were no signs since this went to the back of the hotel, and my heart sank. But I took a right and there was Summer Dream with lights, music and friendly faces. My studio was large and beautifully decorated but, there were no drawers. A woman needs her drawers. My balcony was lovely and shady which was very welcome since it was the first heatwave of the year and apparently two weeks early. The kitchenette was clean and adequate and there was enough cutlery, crockery etc., for two. Surprisingly there was also washing up liquid and a sponge which you don't often find in Greece. No plug in the bathroom however but I carry my universal plug everywhere. The rain shower was heavenly although I had a bit of a problem working out how to use it, luckily there was a hand held shower as well. It was apparently a 'smart room' and you had a selection of lighting solutions. The maids were great, they were there every day and would do as much or little as you wanted. The pool bar was popular and not noisy at night thank goodness. The friendly barman said he loved me, I have my doubts but at 81 you're grateful for anything. The reception staff were very helpful and made sure they carried my case on arrival and departure. The hotel was in a quiet location but it was only a few minutes back down the lane to the beach. There was a minimarket on the corner of the lane and the beach road 'Vergina' run by a lovely family who run the beach beds opposite. I got my necessary groceries, mostly liquid, and a sunhat there. The pool was popular especially with children with lilos but I went straight across the road to the nearest beach beds. The beds are free as long as you have a drink and, since you have the best looking guys in Rethymnon bringing your drinks, I went back there most days. There are loads of tavernas all along the road to Rethymnon Town, and the harbour and old town are well worth a visit. It's about a 30 minute walk, a bit more in a heat wave but I managed it twice. Thank you everyone at Summer Dream, I had a lovely holiday with you.
