Hotels with pool on first line in Crete

The pool was gorgeous and the sea lovely. It was easy to catch a bus into Chania in the evenings

We had a wonderful stay here! The location is absolutely fantastic—just a few minutes’ walk to a beautiful beach, and the hotel itself is right on the ocean, so the views and atmosphere are amazing

The private beach is much nicer than the photos, perfect for snorkelling, the two pools are great and all the amenities kept in great condition. It’s probably the best hotel anywhere near this price, fully recommend!

We arrived end of season with a baby and child. The weather was amazing (some days a little windy)- but due to the hotels great location we could walk to the beach within 3-4 mins or take the bus to Chania

We are a repeat customer to corinna mare suits and studios. The facility is always clean and taken good care of, there is a beach neaby 2min walk

The service and openness of all staff is spot on and we have throughly enjoyed it. Looking forward to coming back next season

The pool area was small but you could always get a sunbed. Half of the pool area had shade which suited some guest but we always manage to find a sunny spot. Breakfast was very tasty and plenty of choice for everyone

The main beach was a 20 minute walk. It was a huge beach with plenty of sunbeds and beach bars. There was another small beach about a 10 minute walk from the hotel

It didn't have sunbeds but was lovely to walk too and we took towels down to lay on. The hotel was situated in the centre of the old town which was amazing

We had been booked into a standard room with EasyJet which would have been at the front of the hotel without a balcony. The staff were really friendly and helpful at the front desk if you needed them

2 minutes walk to amazing restaurants down little cobbled streets Also a 5 minute walk to the harbour with wonderful restaurants. There was so many restaurants you would need to stay for a year to visit them all

Lovely hotel in a great location The Fortezza is a lovely hotel in a great location within the old town. Nice rooms pool, bar area and the the staff where very helpful

The breakfasts were amazing and we felt thoroughly spoilt! The pool although small was so refreshing in the heat of the day, and the courtyard a lovely place to relax amongst the pretty flowers and plants

A great hotel in a perfect location. The owner was very helpful and showed us places to visit. The room was beautiful and traditional. The breakfast was varied and very nice. Would definitely recommend

The hotel exceeded our expectations. Comfy beds. Room cleaned regularly. Staff helpful. Great breakfast with lots of choice. Lovely restaurant attached to hotel.

The room was very nice and clean. The staff was also very friendly and had good hints for eating out. Breakfast was a god variety and yummy.

The hotel is very clean and in the center of Rethymno. You gonna go Everywhere by foot. All the staff was very helpful and polite. Make sure you check out the hotel restaurant as well!!

Excellent location in the Old Town. Came in the winter so it was too cold to sit out in the courtyard, but it looked cozy.

Close to the lovely square in the old town. Fantastic breakfast by the pool and a beautiful room with a sea view

The location is perfect – just a short walk to the sea, great restaurants, and easy access to public transport. We felt genuinely welcomed and taken care of, and the atmosphere made our trip unforgettable

Bella Vista is a small, family run hotel. It’s a bit of a walk to the nearest beach (40 mins) but what it offers more than compensates for this

The location will provide a very authentic experience of Crete. Literally 5-6 walk to a square full of restaurants and Tavernas which are all excellent. And where we also booked our trip to Spinalonga with the lovely Bob

A truly wonderful stay-warm hospitality at its best The team at the hotel were inredibly kind and helpful, whether it was with local tips, best places to visit or simply a kind word. Their warmth made all the difference

We are walking the Corfu trail with 3 Friends, and this hotel was perfect for our stop! Everybody was so friendly and enthousiastic. The breakfast was very fresh and delicious. The rooms were spacious and very clean

This is a hotel owned and run by a lovely family. Nothing is too much trouble to them. Perfect location right on the beach. It has a very nice swimming pool with sumbeds and parasols

Further beds can be rented on the beach at a very reasonable rate. There is bar serving drinks and lunches. This is a wonderful area to sit on an evening watching the sun go down and sipping a cocktail or two

The pool was clean, and the beach is just a few steps away. The hotel also has its own convenience store, which is a nice bonus

– The tiles around the pool are very slippery when wet, so either replacing them or putting up a visible warning sign would help prevent accidents

Review for Hotel Kathrin Beach We stayed in the renovated part of the hotel and were very satisfied with our stay

As for suggestions for improvement: – The towel change policy could really be improved — every three days feels too infrequent, especially in hot weather when guests are likely to shower more than once a day

We had a beautiful renovated room with a sea view. Excellent box spring, large walk-in shower and sufficient closet space. The entire hotel has a beautiful design in terms of interior, everything is coordinated

Very nice hotel, clean rooms, good food and great customer service including friendly staff. We had an issue with our room which was handled adequately. Definitely recommended!

Cozy peacful atmosphere, friendly and easy going personal, very clean and renovated rooms. Pool, garden and workout space give the best ambiance for enjoying vacation! We can fully recommend this hotel!

Pool with a pool bar is clean and well maintained. Beach is close - couple minutes walk from the hotel - where you can find many restaurants

The hotel itself is spotlessly clean, beautifully designed, and located in a peaceful, scenic area surrounded by nature, just a short walk from the beach

The atmosphere is so relaxing, making it the perfect place to unwind. The pool is stunning — a dreamy spot to spend lazy afternoons soaking up the sun

Bali Diamond is a fabulous hotel right on the beach. We had a sea view room with a stunning view, this did mean a lot of stairs to get there but it was worth it! There are lifts if you need them though

Rooms were nice and comfortable but the view of sea/beach/mountain is the star of the show

During our stay, the pool area was extremely quiet but we might have got lucky with that! Good location for visiting two nearby beaches and lots of restaurants are close too

Because of the geography, the hotel is built on a slope and therefore consists of a series of levels connected by a series of confusing stairs and lifts. Also confusing is the absence of a pool bar (lovely pool)

This Is Such A Gem Of A Hotel. Its Positioning Right on the beach. Again A Fantastic Stay At This Wonderful Hotel

The location was lovely—right on the beachfront—but the beach had a large inflatable assault course for kids, which didn’t match the adult-only vibe. Luckily, a quieter and nicer beach was just a short drive away

Very clean hotel with pool not crowded and also available just for hotel guest, just 5 minutes from the city. good wi fi and nice breakfast. we will visit them again maybe September

Location is the best near the center as well the beach was within 5 minutes walking. the staff is friendly and ready to assist as well to help you. it was clean with good service

the pool was clean as well and i really had fun. my friends and I had a great time!

Personal is kind and responsive. Not so far see and mountains ☺️ And shops to by souvenirs. Pool is good and there are sun loungers. You are in the midle of the Hersonissos

Everything we asked from the hotel staff was done immediately, for example toilet paper. The food was buffet style and you could choose from a wide variety of meats and vegetables

We didn't have big demands, the room and the hotel were fine, we asked the staff where to go for a bath and for food and they pointed us to the best locations, we stayed 3 days

I recomend Ledra Maleme hotel!! Nice, modern and friendly hotel. God food and a nice pool. Private beach 200 meters from the hotel. Quiet and peaceful, but short distance to Platanias sentrum.

Nice Pool. Quite. Natur around Hotel. 5min walk to the beach.

Greek style and perfect place!Everything at this hotel was lovely. Such a beautiful,quiet and clean place to stay with your friends and family. We really enjoyed our stay and the owners are lovely people

Spacious rooms for the whole family, nice pool, walking distance to beach. Nice to have a kitchenette to prepare breakfast. Busses to Platanias for lots of restaurants.

It was spotlessly clean, perfectly located just 5 mins from the beach, supermarket and local restaurants, the room was modern and beds comfortable and clean

The pool is the only holiday pool I have ever been in that is at the perfect temperature, no shock getting in, just cool enough to take the heat out

It’s just a 3–5 minute walk to the beach, with a dedicated exit leading straight there, and even a shower next to that exit for rinsing off after swimming. Also, by that exit, there’s a children’s play area

For added convenience, you can rent vehicles (cars, ATVs, scooters, etc. ) right next to George’s Supermarket. The hotel also has its own parking area near the beach exit

Our room, located at the back of the hotel facing the swimming pool, was well-equipped and comfortable

Like any professional hotel, the staff greeted us warmly, found our booking quickly, took our passports for registration, handed over the keys, and showed us around. Check-out was equally efficient and friendly

The cleaning staff did a fantastic job, changing towels every 2 days and bed sheets every 3 days. We didn’t experience any of the issues other reviews mentioned – no cockroaches, no bugs, nothing

It had a balcony, a separate toilet and shower (with the sink outside), a free-to-use fridge, satellite TV, and a safe. Cleanliness really stood out – both in the room and throughout the hotel

The beach access right in front the hotel is a mix between sand, pebbles and spectacular rocks, we absolutely loved it !!!, but if sandy beaches are more to your liking, they are to be found less than 10 min walk either left or right of the hotel

The hotel has an absolutely fantastic location – right by the sea, with breathtaking views. Our room was beautiful and had a stunning view of the water

Robes, slippers, beach towels, Scandinavian Skog ( lush hotel amenities!!). Loved it!! The breakfast was on the rooftop , and had all you need to kickstart the day. So delicious and great variation

Anna Maria made us feel very cozy, always with a smile and ready to assist at all times. We really enjoyed the tasteful breakfast at the roof top bar/restaurant, overlooking the amazing sea and the clear blue sky

We stayed for 14 days at this beautiful and cosy hotel. We booked two rooms with sea view and the rooms were clean, comfy and had all the amenities you need for a pleasant stay

Mrs Christilo was such a gem! ❤️ The whole team is so helpful and has the best hospitality! We really really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is located slightly sheltered from the nightlife noise and has great views

We, who had all inclusive (we had blue bracelets), had a little bar next to the pool just for our use but we saw many people who didn’t had blue bracelet took food and drinks

Another recommendation: it would be nice if pool access was free for hotel guests – especially since we paid for an all-inclusive experience

We could have paid just for breakfast and dinner and the lunch we could have had in the tavern and we could have had acces to the pool at the pool-bar next door

The personal was kind, helpful (except the daytime female barista). There is 2 people who I want to mention who we liked very much: the short haired blond receptionist and the hotels barman (he tended the bar at night)

We recently stayed at this 3-star hotel and, overall, everything was fine considering the category. The rooms were cleaned daily, and towels were changed every day, which we really appreciated

The room is spacious and has all the amenities (shower and toilet), which are clean and functional. The mattress was a little too hard for us, but for a short stay, it wasn't too bothersome

Staying here was absolutely amazing. Got the private pool room, you basically could enjoy the sea from the comfort of your own place

A very nice hotel ,în perfect position ,near the beach and many shops. The personal is very attentive,the rooms are clean,the food is very nice and always fresh,plenty of choices

We also loved the Mambo restaurant and their beach and comfortable sunbeds. We would come back to Bali Star anytime!

Our stay was 7 nights and the room number we stayed in was 203. From the moment we checked in we were greeted by a friendly, hospitable, prompt and helpful staff. We had nothing to complain about this wonderful hotel

Great beach resort with restaurants and local shops on your doorstep. The breakfast was varied and good quality. Ideal if you don't intend to travel around, otherwise you'll need a car rental (plenty of free parking)

We came with our 8-month-old baby and were so touched by how child-friendly and caring everyone was. To our surprise, we even received an upgrade to a room with a private pool, which made our stay extra special

The staff were friendly and helpful even though we visited at the end of the season. So nice to find a small hotel. Suitable mainly for couples wanting a peaceful, comfortable holiday. There are beautiful places to visit

Staff friendly and very helpful. Shower room was dark as it had floor and up to ceiling modern charcoal colored tiles, still dark with light on! All areas very clean with well maintained pool

We have just had a 10 day holiday here, (23rd September-3rd October),and really enjoyed our stay, despite badly spraining my ankle on the fifth day!! The staff are all lovely and Katerina on reception was extremely helpful and kind after my accident

I was given ice packs and a bandage, and she even put it on for me. She helped with local information and organised car hire

We were all-inclusive, never had to queue or wait for a table at meal times. So good, we've booked to go back next year

The hotel is so relaxing and Kolymbari is still very traditional! Can't wait to go back next year!!

Beautiful apartment, very well located and very quiet, just a stone's throw from the beach. The caretaker is very kind and smiling. The pool is not new but well maintained and the water is perfect.

only stayed 1 night in room 9. would of happily stayed for 14 nights as the well equipped 2 bed duplex with 2 bathrooms is completely as described. lovely pool area ,a short flat walk to the village and beach

It is pet friendly, cute little pool, spotless apartments. Good showers with glass and not a plastic curtain. We had a great time there… and super quiet

Everything was perfect except for mosquitos everywhere all the time. I don't know how they keep getting in the room.

Lovely place clean and great location! The hoast is very kind and helpful! I would love to visit the again 😊

if one is looking for self catering accommodation in this area looks no further

Great location with access to the beach, restaurants and shops.

No parking nearby and cars constantly driving across the pedestrian zone. Of course, there are beautiful sunsets and the popular sound of the sea

In the evenings, there are the restaurants right on the water's edge. There you can get delicious food and expensive drinks, and we were more or less politely asked to come in at almost every stall

All is good, except too noisy at night. Too many young people who love partying rather than sleeping

But those weren't enough reasons to visit this entire area again

I love ittt! it's Such a nice hotel with such a bad rating I wonder why the rating is so negative to be honest I love this hotel so much It's So pretty They have free WiFi and it's next to beach the only negative thing about this hotel is that it's next to a club which means That it's pretty noisy outside but still a great hotel^^

Breakfast served in the semi open air terrace of the Basil Honey restaurant with the sun shining & waves crashing on the beach shore 10 metres away, amazing setting. Relax in the infinity style pool overlooking the ocean

The hotel exceeded all expectations: it is located right by the sea, with a beautiful pool, an amazing view from the window, clean, and tastefully decorated

The kids really enjoy swimming pool, we enjoyed the delicious breakfast outdoor overlooking the bay and island

Very close by there is a small port where you can rent a boat or take a ride on a motorboat. In the town, you can rent a car or enjoy a train ride around the surroundings. The hotel also offers free bicycles

It looks just like the photos and has a great feel to it, the sound of the sea, the attentive staff, the lovely pool and restaurant

We stayed for a week in September 2025 in a 2 apartments, both with sea view which was a real bonus, a 2 bed and a 1 bed. Thank you to everyone at Blue Dome, we had a wonderful time

We had an absolutely wonderful experience. The location couldn’t be better — just a short walk to the beach. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, with a great view of the sea from the balcony

Also the outdoor pools were really cold its nice that there is an heated pool indor but would have been nice if the outside one was heated

Also thanks to the staff as asked to organise some flowers etc for my wife for our anniversary and really lovely present for a reasonable price on very short notice as well

The staff made sure everything was perfect, from the friendly check-in to helpful local recommendations. The buffet had a great variety of tasteful choices

Probably the food was the weak point it wasn't bad or anything but quite limited in choices and most meat like pork and chicken quite dry

It’s clear that the management really cares about guests’ comfort and experience. I would absolutely recommend it
