Hotels with pool on first line in Crete

The hotel is beautiful, with such a Greek feel around the place, beautiful plants everywhere. The pools are so clean & the water park is amazing for all ages. Me and my husband love the slides

Absolutely great resort! Great food and service The rooms are super clean; all area’s are clean and well maintained. The pools are awesome and never have to be afraid you can’t get a spot

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely perfect in every way! The cleanliness is impeccable, the rooms are comfortable and well-maintained, the pools are spotless, the beach is beautiful, and the restaurants offer a wide and delicious selection

We tried Alatsi – excellent service, amazing sea view, food slightly salty, but the crème brûlée was a highlight. Desserts overall are large and satisfying

There’s a private beach, plenty of pools, and activities you can book easily through their app. I suggest staying at least 3 days. With 4 or 5 nights, you can also explore the town

Hotel gym is well equipped, but it hosts local people as well which makes the weight room tight. Food - great but could be better and a wider variety. Bars and food areas located all over, big variety with great service

It should be mentioned that some rooms are not exactly 5 star visually at least, but who stays in a room at the hotel? :) In the end, it is a hotel that I would gladly return to due to its location on the island, the beach and the staff

ARB is a great family beach featuring a lot of great amenities. It has a sweet children’s club. From 1-3 there is a small daily fee, then from 4 and up, it is free

But on the other had, the pools were really great and so was the new water park. The toilets were too few and a bit far from the beach. There's a small shop inside with essentials and reasonably priced

There was a good selection of food and everything tasted great. Dining experience was top notch. The beach is a combo of sand and pebbles. Unfortunately there are also bigger rocks

Once you get over them, the sea bottom is pleasant. But it might not be a great spot for children. This is also because of the usual waves on Crete in general

We have just returned from our second stay with this hotel with my partner (our last time was in 2018) and we enjoyed this second visit so much more! Staff were really friendly, very helpful and polite

Sunbeds were reserved by the pool, just like on the beach. The hotel staff was extremely friendly, which completely made the trip. I wouldn't visit this hotel again. The price/performance ratio was okay

The beach has plenty of sunbeds and a bar, and the beach restaurant serves good food. We would definitely stay at this hotel again

We had our honeymoon from 20-27. 09 and everything was wonderful. The food, the beach, the staff attitude and the restaurants. We received an upgraded room and a late check-out because of delayed flight for free

We have a beautiful room looking out to the sea. Our room is lovely and spacious, and the food and service by all the staff is really good

It was really nice, the food could have been better for all inclusive but overall the stay was great.

If it had a rating of 1000 I would give it to the staff. Cretan hospitality at its best!

Only milk make it better ? But in Spar water is just 0. 5 Euro If you need long beach take the bus to Malia And don't stay in the hotel all the time. Take some excursions just in front of hotel

All round good service but had problems with the A/C, bunk beds were slack and flimsy, food was a bit canteen ish and not a great choice, add more alcohol to the all inclusive list because what you have is not much and fix your slides because where they join together needs to be filled as there like a cheese grater when you go over them

I stayed at this hotel for 10 days recently and I will definitely be returning, perfect for children, they absolutely loved the pools, play areas and slides

To be honest reading the reviews I was dreading coming here! I can honestly say we’ve had the best time here! The kids have loved it they’ve been busy all week with kids clubs discos every night for them the entertainment staff have been fantastic :) they been playing in pools all day and the rooms are nice as well

Disco each night was a bit repetitive but kids loved learning the same dances. food could be a bit better but we always found something to eat as there’s plenty of option. Our room was very clean with a perfect sea view

Everything for the family stay is here. Plenty of attraction, few pools and bars. Besides that location is great- everything nearby including clubs bars and restaurants

Hotel is on a peninsula by itself so you are a bus ride away from a town with bars and tavernas. There are plenty of pools in the hotel grounds and you have access to the beach and safe swimming areas

What an amazing stay for 7days. Staff very helpful and friendly. Choice of food was fantastic catering for all tastes. Download the Hotel app to get map and information where pools, bars etc

If you want to visit local towns etc prepare to travel for long periods time. Hotel offers all you need to have a relaxing, stress free holiday. Views amazing where ever you put your sunbed

Main pool can feel busy, but does have activities going on through the day. So we went to the Phaethon bar with pool. Which was quieter but still busy. Great if you sporty lots to do too

Little disappointed that indoor pool was closed on our visit for COVID related reasons, thought those days had passed. Large grounds mean that things don't feel overcrowded

we had our Honeymoon in this hotel and happened to have my wife's birthday. The hotel manager sent us a birthday cake and bubble wine as gifts

The splash park is really good, I’m not sure why it doesn’t open until 11am though. The bars are great and lovely sitting areas too. We went to afew of the entertainment nights. The Acrobats night was our favourite

There only ever seemed to be 10-15 out each time where there’s 100s of plates so I found myself asking for one or waiting for a restock. The hotel definitely needs more out available. Staff are friendly and polite

It’s was you expect from an all inclusive holiday. Same with the drinks! I bought coke from the shop as there’s wasn’t the best! FYI I didn’t see nuggets once in my whole stay. The restaurant is absolutely crazy

Pizza, Gyros and Burgers were delicious! The only annoying thing is when people jump in instead of queuing like everyone else but this isn’t the hotels fault. We stopped in a family room which was big and clean

It’s busy and LOUD and all the noise from the chairs is frustrating! They could do with putting pads on them to avoid all the squeaking. The thing that annoyed me the most was the BOWLS

You can’t get anymore water for free and will have to pay however, I took stainless steel bottles with me and was able to fill these up from different places throughout the day

Beach, city near by. Variety, good, nice people Bed is little bit soft, clean Some public sanitary not very clean Nice helpfull

A cool place with excellent vibes, music and attractions for the entire family. The service is awesome in the beach bars

Plenty of activities for all ages, along the whole day. So many pools, playgrounds, and activities for all ages

The hotel has a beachfront with water sports available for an extra charge, such as jet skis, banana boats, parasailing, and more – and the staff there were absolutely wonderful

The hotel is fantastic for families with children. There are plenty of activities, including a water park, slides in the pools, and afternoon and evening entertainment

We stayed at Star Beach in Crete and had a wonderful experience overall. The hotel is large, very clean, and the staff are kind and helpful

"Lyttos Beach is an absolute gem! The crystal-clear waters and powdery sand make it a perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun. The scenic views are breathtaking, and the beach is well-organized with amenities nearby

Whether you're looking to swim, sunbathe, or try your hand at water sports, Lyttos Beach has something for everyone. The atmosphere is calm and serene, making it an ideal destination for families and couples alike

🌊 Pools & Activities If you love water activities, you won’t be disappointed! There are 7 swimming pools, including an Olympic-sized pool, plus a water park with: ✅ 2 extra pools ✅ Lazy river & splash zone ✅ 5 larger slides for older kids & adults Other activities include: 🎾 Tennis, football, basketball & bike hire 🎮 Amusement arcade 🏌️‍♂️ Mini golf & playpark for younger kids 💆‍♀️ Onsite Spa (extra...

Awesome place Fantastisk hotell. It was like staying in a little village, they had everything inside the perimeter. shops, outdoor activities, playgrounds pools for the kids. Beautiful view to the sunset/sunrise

Plus, there’s a beach bar for drinks! 🍹 🎤 Entertainment Evening entertainment is based at the amphitheatre, offering a kids’ disco, local acts, and animation team productions

I highly recommend Lyttos Beach to anyone visiting Crete. It's a must-visit destination that will leave you with unforgettable memories

We now have a new room with a great view of the sea. That's why we're giving it two stars. It's a shame that the pool area (in the pool) hardly provides any shade. Unfortunately, it's not good for children

Fantastic family friendly hotel with a beautiful beach! We've visited Pilot Beach Resort two years in a row with our very young children (1 and 3 years old) and it's been a wonderful experience both times

The variety of food for kids is fantastic, although I wish they had boiled vegetables in the buffet options (like in all the other restaurants). The staff is wonderful, always friendly and accommodating to families

The food is always delicious and never disappoints. Especially the restaurant at the beach can be recommended. Having dinner there while watching the sun set is a super romantic and a warming experience

The buffet options at all the restaurants are excellent. The appetizers and main courses are always well-prepared and there’s something for everyone. However, for the desserts, only a few really stood out

Thank you Pilot Beach Resort for giving us amazing family memories! We came here twice during a time when we desperately needed rest and fun with our little ones and both visits exceeded our expectations!

5*?? not quite but wouldn't take much to make it 5*....must be the best location in Agios Nicholas...( it's has its own beach and marina which are both lovely, as are the staff.. nice 30 min walk to town.

Best resort on Crete!We fall in love with it!Family friendly even with infant!Very friendly staff!Beautiful beach and nature around!Best food!Deffenetly we are going back there someday!

Accommodation, for understanding: - Garden view - first / second floor from the garden side - Bay View - 3rd floor and above from the garden side, view of Agios Nikolaos - Sea View - floors from the beach side

The mirabello beach hotel and village is one of the best hotel I ever went to. The location is unique in its own way, and the staff treats your as their own family which make you feel like home

An excellent hotel with great food and food location. Small private beach, very safe safe. Friendly helpful staff.

Just an amazing place. A chic hotel. Spacious rooms especially in the villas. Excellent cuisine, a huge area for walking and not only, a good sandy beach.

We stayed at Lyttos Mare with two teenagers for a week in August 2025 in a two bedroom room with an individual pool. We have stayed in many five star hotels over the years, and this is at the top of the list so far

Lyttos mare is such a beautiful hotel - the staff were so attentive and couldn’t fault the food, the cleanliness & facilities! Plus the hotels steak and Asian restaurants were stunning but had to be booked during the week

You can access the sister hotel Lyttos beach and use their facilities such as the Olympic pool, waterpark, lyttopia, and see the entertainment each night (quizzes, bingo, performances & DJ nights) so there was plenty to do

The gym coach is amazing! Super friendly, helpful, and always in a great mood he made my workouts here even better. The hotel itself is fantastic too.. great vibe and everything well taken care of!

The facilities, cleanliness of the room and the resort and the beautiful catchy design definitely makes it one of the best. The all inclusive food is slightly repetitive

We have had a perfectly chilled, all inclusive week! The hotel is more adult friendly, but it was our 1 year olds first holiday and we wanted a relaxed atmosphere

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

Really nice hotel with plenty of good facilities and a great layout. The pool is enormous and well lit so it really stands out at night and the private beach is a lovely touch. The food does let it down though

A very friendly and personalized welcome, impeccable and smiling service everywhere, superb infrastructure, a wonderful swimming pool, the cuisine is very good and made with fresh and quality products, the cocktails are excellent, the room (upgraded) was very comfortable

We spent 10 amazing days here, everything in this resort is really amazing. Food, rooms with shared pool (recommended), service, options for kids (water park and kids club)

Unfortunately, the temperature was relatively low in early May and there was a strong wind. Although the outdoor swimming pool was beautiful, it was not very swimmable

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

Amazing hotel set in a beautiful beach. The Greek restaurant was especially good and the orange cake amazing. All inclusive means more relaxing as you don’t need to arrange anything

We came as a family of 4 with a 4 year old and 3 month old. The hotel is decent for a family break. Pools and slides very good for the kids and for an all inclusive the food wasn’t too bad although repetitive

Got to the room, and the bathroom was left in a disgusting state by whoever was before us, toilet and shower etc… dirty towels all over the bathroom still. No one had even changed towels in between family’s

Receptionist eventually sent a cleaner to sort it out but we obviously had to wait for this so wasted probably an hour and half in total messing about just to have a quick shower before transfer

We arrived at reception for the room to be told we’d have to wait for another 3 family’s to use it first. Not great with young children when you’ve been promised you wouldn’t have to wait

When I told reception this, the attitude shown was as disgusting as the room itself. It was as though it was our fault and we should just put up with it as it’s a room for everyone

We enjoyed relaxing around the main pool area on very comfy loungers and the lovely sandy beach is just in front of the Hotel. Entertainment was really good with something different on each evening

Our stay was very nice. Thank you very much. Organisation is Perfect!

This hotel has the most stunning setting of any hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The main pool is especially gorgeous. Their all-inclusive meals were high quality and dining room service was great

We did get upgraded to a suite with a swim-up pool attached to our terrace, which was lovely. This was a nice place to bring our toddler. It felt family-friendly but sophisticated, too

Wonderful hotel everything we needed. Bar staff was especially lovely and cheerful. And also always arrive to provide wide range of drinks non alcoholic for me and good variety of alcoholic for my partner

We couldn’t check in until an hour after check-in time which was slightly inconvenient; looking back, it would’ve been helpful to unwind somewhere on the property and get a text when our room was ready

Were on site. Decent, very clean. There is a kids club and a children's pool with slides. Accommodation prices are above average.

The hotel has many swimming pools, especially for adults, but it also has 3 swimming pools for children

The only thing I didn't like was that I had to pay a fee of 15 € / day x 7 days = 105 € / room

That to me, is a great indication of a place that treats their staff well! The pools were gorgeous and so clean; the private beach was an actual slice of heaven; the food was so tasty (seriously - not a single disappointing dish!); and the facilities were so clean and tastefully decorated

one for children/babies 2 - 3 years old which is covered with a tarpaulin to create shade and be able to take advantage of it at any time of the day. and the other 2 are right next to the adult one

Our trip to the wonderful island of Crete was made so much more magical by the Alexander Beach Hotel. We will highly recommend to anyone thinking of Crete for their next holiday!

Do upgrade to a sea view balcony! Everything is modern and clean, the English speaking staff are friendly and helpful, there are 2 main pool areas (one for adults only) and a small private beach with bar at the bottom of the hill

Good place to stay, helpful staff and even the fact that the hotel is on a cliff and everywhere lots of stairs does not spoil the overall impression about the hotel

An extraordinary experience. The staff at the restaurant is a 10. The service is impeccable.We thank them for everything.

Beautiful hotel, nice view and pools, profesional stuff, great food (it would want more sea food).

The location is fantastic, perched on a hill overlooking the sea with rooms in small blocks cascading down the slope on 3 sides giving the place a village feel

The hill will be an issue for anyone with mobility issues. There is a shuttle down to the lower levels and the beach but there are still lots of steps around the place

Last day of our 1 week holiday today so thought I would write a review to praise the amazing staff at Arina Beach. We stayed in the maisonette with pool

Plenty to choose from The beach is one of the best I've ever visited, very sandy and slow sloping - ideal for small kids

Even if there are waves at the main beach there's another smaller beach nearby that has virtually no waves

The other outdoor pools are great for the family with plenty of seating. The beach is sandy with lots of seating and showers

Stayed with wife and my 3 years old daughter. Everything was great, we got a bit earlier to the hotel but we got our room earlier as well (at about 12 PM) Rooms are nice and are cleaned daily

There were 3 sunbeds allocated to each maisonette so a bit tricky if all residents wanted to use them (as we were a family of 5) but it wasn't really a problem. POSITIVES: - The food was incredible

Fantastic stay. Stunning location. Loved cocktails in the lobby bar. All inclusive food and wine very good, included cocktails disappointing but Spritz’s in the lobby bar were terrific. Lovely views from all aspects.

The pool areas are small and there were not enough sunbeds and often 'reserved' by selfish people who think it's ok to do this and not turn up for hours despite a sign saying it was forbidden

The food choice and quality at the all inclusive was excellent, the vegetarian choice was good but we found many foods not labelled (apart from allergens) so sometimes it was hard to determine if it contained meat or not

Several things were missing from one room and the telephone didn't work so we had to keep traipsing to reception to get things fixed, which they did promptly. But despite reporting the phone twice it was never resolved

We chose the bungalow and had asked to have it arranged so my father in law was in one room to himself and my daughter in with me & my husband. The hotel confirmed that this was ok and could be arranged for our stay

This was not ideal for us as it meant we had to keep our door closed so we had privacy but meant my father in law was without any light apart from the dingy ceiling light so he felt like he was in a prison

Everything OK, but the main restaurant food was rather average and repetitive. Staff we very nice with decent service. Beach, with rocks so not easy to swim

Good afternoon! 🙂 I just returned from Greece and, while I'm still impressed, I want to write my review about our family vacation at the Mitsis Laguna hotel. Hotel/territory: Very nice hotel with rather big territory

The best hotel I've ever been to. The staff are welcoming and attentive. The hotel is sublime. It's a feast for the eyes. The atmosphere is great. I highly recommend it.

i would have liked more entertainment ( during the day and night) so i could come next time with my teenagers kids next time, but this is what make this place extra quiet

Many thanks to guest relation Olga, who told everything upon arrival, showed and checked whether the child was given a “welcome gift”. She was always courteous (but not overbearing), tactful and helpful; 2

What a great stay We had a great stay. Very friendly staff.. amazing service. We’re command and we shall come again.

Lovely and helpful reception staff and high standard rooms. Brilliant for children with water slides, pools and beach giving lots of variety to do. Amazing high quality and range of food at the buffet

We are currently at the hotel and loving it! Starting with the good part (actually the excellent part): Almost everything is nothing less than perfect, and I have keen eyes to problmetic items The service, the cleanliness, the pools, the dozen bars, the food

Main dining room water dispenser is very far, so it will be closer to the pool, but an additional one closer to the internal sitting space would significantly help Otherwise this is an amazing hotel and would greatly recommend to every family!

The location and the variety of pools made our holiday even more enjoyable. Everything was very clean, and it’s clear that the hotel is committed to environmental awareness. The staff were always polite and helpful

All are amazing! Few things i would recommend changing though: 1. Most important for us: Omelettes and scrambled eggs are based on some terrible egg liquid. It has awful taste and even more terrible aftertaste

The wooden doors are old and have problematic locks. My spouse got locked for few minutes in the toilettes near the main dining room until was able to get out 4. Rooms are dull from design point of view
