Hotels with aquapark in Crete

🏠 Our Rooms We stayed in a Double Room with a Sea View – spacious, clean, and well-equipped with a fridge, microwave, TV, safe, and plenty of sockets. The balcony had a great view of the Olympic pool and sea

The hotel was spotless throughout, and every member of staff we encountered was friendly, helpful, and clearly worked very hard to keep everything running smoothly

One of the best resorts we’ve ever encountered: amazing food variety and quality, competent and friendly staff, excellent facilities, great beach and pools, convenient location.

The beach is amazing, the pools are very nice and clean, the staff and dining was great, we had an amazing time and we’re very happy that we booked this resort for two weeks!

The resort is huge so although it was full, you couldn’t feel it. Nice activities, lots of pools, you can always find a spot with a sun bed in one of the pools

There are 5 restaurants, 4 bars, and plenty of facilities, including tennis courts, a gym, and a water park

The facilities are great but many people still used towels to reserve sunbeds even though the resort states towels will be removed (they were not). We traveled in October half term and were very lucky with the wether

The staff at the Enomy main buffet restaurant were mostly okay but many staff were rude or not attentive at all (we sat waiting for cutlery and to be asked our drinks order for ages and then had to try and find someone)

Really great beautifully decorated communal areas and a really classy bar with great cocktails. Everything was just SO easy and pleasant so we could concentrate on spending time together as a family and having fun

This is a lovely resort, really quite unique as it's like being in a village. There are 7 restaurants which is nice as you can have a different dinner experience instead of the buffet all the time

We loved the day activities, especially the watergym where we went twice a day. We havent set a foot outside the hotel which means how great the hotel was

Most staff we came across were friendly and helpful, especially at the bars and reception

The hotel is lovely, yes it does get busy with families in school holidays but that can be said of many places, the staff are all fantastic and nothing is too much trouble for their guests

We love them all and in all of our travels we have never found anywhere quite so comfortable and that makes us feel like we are at home while we are away. We will see you all next year

We stayed 4th to 14th September 2025 and as always our stay was fantastic

Another slight gripe was the mini-bar in the room was not always topped up and there was a charge for crisps and Nuts! Comfy bed and a great shower in the bathroom made for a comfortable stay, but do take a multi pot adapter, as there are not many sockets

You could get lunch bookings fairly easily, but the breakfasts were huge, so we skipped lunch most of the times. The food was generally very good and the service fantastic, considering how busy they were

People have mentioned that some of the rooms are dated which I don't understand because the room we booked was pretty much the same as the one pictured on the hotels and Jet2 s websites

The grounds, staff, food, views, all amazing. Our private pool was in shade all of the time but it's probably in sin during the summer months. Lots of mosquitos so plug ins are a must

We were also disappointed that we couldn’t get even one night at the à la carte restaurant, especially since the hotel was nearly closing for the season in late October

We had a fabulous 4 night stay in a 3 bedroom maisonette (upgrade from 2 bedroom maisonette). We were 2 adults and a teenager staying in the last week of the season in October

When we gave our feedback, the guest relations lady didn’t take it very well and rather bluntly mentioned that no other guests had complained about the limited meat options — we felt this was a bit rude and dismissive

The reception and restaurant staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly — they really made us feel at home from the moment we arrived

The only downside, and the reason for giving 4 instead of 5 stars, was the limited variety of meat options in the main restaurant

We didnt try the restaurants and stuck with Buffet which a wide range and variety of dishes - even Chinese! The cakes and desserts were exemplary! Drinks wise kids were happy with sodas and we drank the Minoan Era lager which we really liked

I had a Spa Day and treatment - staff were excellent, sauna and jacazzui lovely. On a duller day took kids to the Aquarium which was good and only 30 min walk e/w along the seafront

It seems they focus on little kids, and there's nothing for the 8 to 12 years old. The gym didn't have an aircon, was extremely hot, and was not comfortable to train

My family and I had a lovely holiday at Gouves. The staff were excellent, particularly Maria at Poseidon Bar who could not do enough for us

Food was excellent: I have two fussy eaters and they could always find something to eat at the Buffet

We came in April and it majority of facilities as to WHY we chose this hotel are closed and not available - play area for kids, indoor pool closed due to construction

Fortunately, the mini disco is a bit away from the main restaurant and, although we are here with a small child, we really appreciated having a room far away from the hustle and bustle of the kids' pool and mini disco

Great resort in a quiet area with a private beach with free sun loungers, beach bar and swimming pool Rooms were nice and spacious, housekeeping stuff was friendly and always wanted to help with anything

Minor renovations are needed (for example, the indoor pool), but in general everything is still usable and good value for money

There were always enough sun chairs both at the pool and the beach! A total recommendation if you look for a family vacation!

There were many options for lunch and dinner and the breakfast buffet was amazing. It’s very family friendly there and there are activities for children and adults. It was a beautiful walk to Georgiopolis on the beach

It's a bit of a shame that the all-you-can-eat nature of the restaurant means that the cuisine is somewhat underappreciated. Because a lot of it is really well made and above average! Everything is clean

The water activities options and their maintenance is very good

We have just booked to come again in 2026 which will be around our 18th holiday to this hotel. We have always loved coming here. The changes that have been made over the last few years are huge

The team at the Greek restaurant helped surprise my husband with a birthday cake on our first night too. My sons loved the water slides and pool and the evening entertainment was fun

Our favourite was the white party disco. Although the location is remote and there isn’t a lot to do in the local area the hotel is big enough without feeling trapped. We would definitely visit again

We loved it before but now it’s brought a whole new level. There is so much choice and everyone is catered for in my opinion. The hotel is very clean and tidy

The food is very good and better than a lot of 5 star resorts we have visited. The A’la carte Greek and Asian restaurants are amazing with the food and service excellent

Nice enough for families, great options for pools. Our kids loved the waterpark and hitting the football pitch each night with other kids from around the world

We have had a great time at this hotel. Plenty of great dining options, multiple swimming pools, sea access was great

Lovely hotel for a family holiday. Between the pools, water park and beach our water babies were in heaven; with the inclusively priced cocktails we were too! Delicious and great range of food in the buffet

We just had our second family holiday at Marine Palace and were once again very happy with everything. The location, the food and service is great!

The only slight negative we found was the lack of lactose-free yoghurt, which was surprising given the multitude of options otherwise

Perhaps the biggest highlight was the staff, they were lovely and super helpful any time we needed anything

We were guests in this Hotel for 7 days. Superior Hotel, clean and nice. Our rooms comfortable with a nice view to the Pools. Food & Beverages tasteful and always enough

We were very lucky to revieve an upgrade on our room which had a pool!

Great food, friendly staff, drinks are amazing and the bar staff takes their time to prepare them, beautiful beach and the spa was very relaxing. My daughter and I enjoyed our facials!

The massage here was really good. I was treated by Albora, she was very friendly and polite, and the massage was perfect. The products smell amazing. Highly recommended!!!

I visited the spa with my daughter for the Cretan masssage. We both thouroughly loved this and would recommend. Albora is very good.

We booked a different hotel and really didn’t feel comfortable so found this place and transferred here the same night of check in

It was the perfect way to end a fun-filled day at the park. The Disney shows made us feel like we were part of the story — everything was colorful, fun, and full of joy. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations

The dining area felt more like a canteen than a 5 star hotel and the staff were not very attentive, you had to wait ages to even get a glass of water

The amenities were top-notch — especially the breakfast buffet, which offered a great variety of fresh and delicious options. One of the highlights of our trip was the Cuban show in the evening

The music, dancing, and energy were simply unforgettable! The performers were so talented, and the vibrant costumes and live band created such a lively, authentic Caribbean vibe

The check-in process was smooth, and my room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. The bed was incredibly cozy, and the view from the window was stunning

My fiancé and I stayed here for 1 week at the start of October. Mitsis Rinela is a beautiful hotel. The rooms are beautiful, modern and kept immaculately clean

Nice hotel with nice people The food is fine not wow But great location , great pools close to the beach - 10 min walk

it was our first family holiday with our 1 year old. we had a really good time and our baby enjoyed it so much. We had a problem with a room and it was rectified immediately

The staff are amazing with children and are super friendly. We felt really at ease and safe

Pool fresh sea water and cleaned daily was so refreshing after the warm sun with plenty of sun beds to choose from and kids loving the slides. Food was tasty and so much choice for all including 2 fussy eaters

The hotel's outstanding quality is its staff. The reception is very professional. I'm thinking especially of Maria at reception, who was incredibly helpful and saved our stay by finding a suitable room for my mother

People in Crete, in general, are grumpy. Im talking about local people not but stranger workers. I've rarely seen anything like it. On the other hand, the foreign workers are always polite and helpful

There are 5 swimming pools, including a mini waterpark for children, making the resort perfect for families, fully reflecting the SOL by Meliá brand standards

Lovely hotel,fantastic staff john is a lovely entertainer, only thing we found is not much english food too much French. Rooms cleaned daily, clean hotel and pool

Aspa and other lady at the cocktail bar were very sweet. There is Gym, Nice little shop inhouse, Swimming pools. Kitchen manager was very professional

The hotel beach is clean and well equipped, with sunbeds and umbrellas included, as well as beach volleyball and football courts

The only small downside is that the indoor pool, open during the colder months, is unfortunately not heated

Would be an idea to have fridges round hotel with bottles of water

I loved this resort! I recommend the all exclusive pack if you want to have a good stay! The kids loved the water park everything was fantastic! Especially the food!!!!! I really recommend this resort it has THE BEST view etc

The rooms are amazing, the staff upgraded us and we had our own plunge pool which was a nice bonus. The spa facilities are brilliant and the massages are amazing. Will definitely be staying here again

The restaurant was open at almost any time and there were basically no restrictions. The kids loved the water slide. Although it was not big, there were not many people and they could enjoy it

Fantastic stay Amazing stay! It’s got the environment, pool, food, children’s play area and waterpark

Very nice hotel, perfect pool access suite. Luxury family-friendly hotel with a fantastic kids' club team! The children's water playground is fantastic

Very large and beautiful pool! The staff is very friendly! A little something for my daughter's 3rd birthday! The all-inclusive is very good! With the added bonus of à la carte dinners 👌 I highly recommend this hotel! We stayed 6 nights

Georgia and Eirini in particular. The entertainment was mostly good and suited our boys. The kids pool wasn't huge and slides basic, but just right for us, we often had whole pool to ourselves

This is my 4th visit to Creta Palace, my husband went many times, throughout his teens and early adulthood. We have two children, at the time of travel were 5 and 8. We have visited Creta Palace in 2022, 2023 and 2025

There are members of staff who have been at Creta Palace since my husband was a teenager (he's now 42!!) so you really get the family feel, they take so much pride in their work and it comes across

The salad choices are immense - so good that you can have this as a main meal if you wish - I certainly did! For Lunch, the Brasserie and Beach bar are brilliant

So friendly, professional and immaculate. You are never left waiting and nothing is a problem. The food has always been very good but improved in 2025

We spent more time this year in the beach bar and no words can describe the atmosphere here. Everything about it, the view, the decor, the ambiance

Unfortunately, hotel guests "reserve" the sunbeds in the morning, so it often happened that although there was no one in the pools and around them, we still couldn't find a free sunbed

The sea-view rooms are spacious and have a kitchenette. Their terraces open onto the hotel's beach or a small fishing port. There are also rooms overlooking the pools or the main road or in quieter corners of the hotel

There was often a queue at the AI ​​bar, as there was only one person to serve the guests. You could also get food for breakfast and lunch at the pool bar. Very helpful staff in both the restaurant, bar and reception

There are several smaller and larger pools between the buildings, which are not heated

Lovely cakes, ice cream and fruit for dessert. Good rooms with efficient cleaning, the area itself was also cleaned several times a day. However, there were a few things that surprised us

Large resort hotel in Platanias village right next to the beach. The hotel is spread over a huge area, with many room types to choose from in several buildings

Service throughout the hotel was amazing and cannot fault at all. The hotel is clean and well maintained. Beach is a pebble/rocky beach, this didnt bother us as we were happy by the pool

There's an astro pitch, tennis courts and arcades and pool table for other entertainment. Unfortunately, didn't get an opportunity to try the sushi bar but it looked really nice

Our second stay this year! Amazing hotel. I'd accidently booked the wrong room type, and we were upgraded for free. Giannis provided excellent service around the pool

The hotel itself is amazing with three pools and plenty of bars with four a la crate restaurants and a sushi bar alongside the main restaurant

The food at the restaurant was delicious, with plenty of options to choose from, and the breakfast buffet was one of the best I’ve ever had. The location was also perfect — close to everything, yet quiet and relaxing

The room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had a stunning view. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the amenities were top-notch — from the high-speed Wi-Fi to the luxurious bathroom products

All seemed a bit dramatic, not bothering anyone and cleaning was done early morning and then water tested throughout the day when people were swimming. Nobody was near the breakfast area either

Really comfy hotel room. Friendly check in and helpful staff. Nice location short walk to the beach. Sea view from balcony. Delicious breakfast!

Pool area and bars is as you would like it

The pool bar seemed to charge different prices when they changed staff for the evening shift. Mostly the staff were OK but one individual was quite rude to many of the guests in the dining room

The men's pool toilets should be closed off. Tiles broken and falling off the wall. As for the pool shower all I can say is Disgusting

The rooms were clean and well-maintained, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was relaxing and pleasant. I especially appreciated the helpfulness of the reception team, who were always ready to assist with a smile

The suite we stayed in was very spacious with a private rooftop terrace, the room was cleaned daily and stocked with bottled water every day

We are currently resting here. With children, the best vacation is only here. Food is at the highest level, many thanks to the chef, who cares about his guests and wants everyone to be satisfied

The service from checking in through to checking out has been excellent. We enjoyed using the pools, gym and spa facilities. There was so much choice for everyone

We had a family room with its own balcony, which allowed us to relax outdoors when it wasn't quite poolside weather

Sisi village is a short walk away with some lovely shops and eateries. There is an on site supermarket with gift shopping incorporated. The pools were great (a little cold but once you were in very refreshing)

Great hotel regarding price-performance ratio. Clean and good food. However it’s definitely not 5 star hotel, 4 star at most. No nice beach close to hotel, but there is variety of pools to choose from.

I enjoy coming to Anemos everytime, nice resort, has aquapark, is next to the beach, rooms are well kept aaand they make very good cocktails in the bar above the lobby :)

From the moment we arrived till the moment we had to sadly leave, we were absolutely overjoyed with the resorts design, services, and food. We had room with our own pool and it was one of the best things you can imagine

Everything about this hotel was amazing from the rooms to the food and great staff. There is nothing bad to say all excellent We went with my Daughter and her Husband and would definitely go back

As to the entertainment, there was something for everybody and it was of a very high standard and so varied and suitable for an audience from many different lands. Last but not least, we were so impressed by the staff

The rooms were clean and spacious. Service was attentive and always available. Golf carts took us to their beach, you can also walk if you wanted. It was easier for us with our disabled adult family member

Staff great friendly, access to beach via a subway to get across Road etc ,door staff will give you a buggy ride ,both ways 😀 Would recommend

The water park is fantastic, with plenty of attractions for both kids and adults. Personally, I love coming in August, since the kids can fully enjoy their summer vacation

We had a wonderful time at the resort. We enjoyed the spa. The food was very good. We enjoyed the community cats also. We will be back. Nick was a very big help to us throughout our entire stay.

Food, staff, rooms and all facilities are great. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. The swim-up was fantastic, quiet most of the time and waiter service to pool side was unexpected but appreciated

We stayed for a week in a suite with a private pool and loved it. The staff were excellent to a fault, especially the bar staff - couldn't rate them high enough

Private beach areas are lovely too. The water park for the granddaughter is great too

If you're going to Crete and want a 5 star resort then you should consider the Stella Palace. We didn't try the Aqua Park, but from the screams it sounded like everybody was enjoying themselves
