Hotels with pool in Crete

When at the pool table no quick access to toilets you either have to go to the adults bar - down as set of stairs, reception or to the childrens pool, toilets at the childrens pool had no locks on the doors, all toilets were often lacking hand towels but the check sheet for staff was ticked as checked, the ones at the staff pool I didn't find until day 4

2 nights there was evening entertainment but this happened at the pool bar (next to childrens pool) but the bar was closed! Only one bar open in the evening and one person serving the queue sometimes was quite long, had to wait a while the selection of drinks was poor, 4 cocktails, didn't have a drink I liked

We hired a car from the hotel for 3 days to explore more of Crete. There are also plenty of quad and buggy hire places on the strip. We visited the adults and the children's pool and have no complaints

Had a great stay here for a week. The staff are all very nice and efficient. The food was excellent,lots of choice at every meal and very well presented. Had drinks at the main bar which were good

Second problem the room the family 2 girls and a boy (family 2 of them were adults) was allocated was a double bed and a bed settee we had asked for a family double room, 1am in the morning we told them to use the room and was assured the room would be changed in the morning - to give credit to the reception staff in the morning the room was changed, the night porter had said they family would be moved...

The pool bar near the childrens pool did not serve alcohol apart from beer and wine, if you are on holiday you would not leave children at the pool while going to the adults pool to get a drink

We stayed in a pool view maisonette which had everything you could want for a self catering stay. I know some rooms had amazing sea views too. The pool is very small (but well maintained)

Great stay here at the hotel. The Spa team around Mikaela is awesome. If you catch a rainy day (or not) it‘s an absolute recommendation to get the full Cretan body massage - Aspasia and Ifigenia are awesome! 5/5 stars!

Spa experience with Aspasia was absolutely exceptional. From the moment the treatment began, she created such a calm and soothing atmosphere that I was able to completely switch off and relax

I took a "Sweet Love" package for my treatment option. Ifigenia, who executed the treatment, was very professional, friendly and clearly experienced at her job. Would heartily recommend the spa!

Aspasia clearly has a real talent for what she does. Her professionalism, care, and attention to detail made this one of the best treatments I’ve had

I think it is much better suited to adults (than children) as there is not so much much room for swimming but it’s perfect for cooling off. The staff are all very kind and the barman is quite funny

It was an amazing stay! 3 days of relaxation in a small quite hotel! The daily buffet was really tasty but the highlight of this hotel is the nice behaviour of the staff!

The restaurant had to be rebuilt and made a serving table and service, like in a cafe, instead of a buffet, which significantly increased the workload of the staff and the waiting time

Amazing hotel! At first I was a bit worried about the bad weather but everything changed by my arrival! One of the most cleaned hotel with staff like family

One special mention for the tasty food and the kindness of the bar staff! Felt like home

The hotel is absolutely spotless the attention to detail is second to none, the pool is clean and very relaxing, cocktails are amazing especially made by Maria during the day or Carlos at night, breakfast there is a huge selection catering for every fussy eater, my only criticism is the evening selection is more catered for the Germans so we ended up eating out 4 of our 7 night stay unless you wanted...

The rooms are clean, bright and well equipped we had a room with a jacuzzi we stayed in room 1212 had a pool and sea view from the balcony but nice and quiet

The hotel has really surprised us with its extremely warm hospitality and high level of the standards. The territory, rooms and the beach are clean and wery well maintained. The staff is absolutely friendly and useful

Had such a lovely and relaxing experience getting a full body massage with my misses, both of us left like new people, had to give a shout out to bibi , Pavlos, Maria.

We had a very lovely experience in the High Beach Spa! Pavlos and Maria made our Massages very well and we are very pleased and relaxed! Thank you so much ☺️

According to locals, the day before the hotel opened, Crete experienced an unprecedented weather phenomenon – a Saharan sandstorm that left unmistakable traces and completely undid the extensive cleaning work carried out beforehand at the hotel complex

The High Beach Resort is a very well-maintained and visually appealing hotel complex. We arrived on April 2nd, 2026, the official start of the season

Yannis's singing was particularly impressive and surprising (singer and manager - what a rare and extraordinary professional combination!) We will definitely come back! Most warmest regards from Claudia and Sven!

The only good part of staying here was their food, the kitchen staff were nice people, and I liked their pool area, but that’s it

I highly recommend staying at this hotel. They pay great attention to cleanliness, and the food is typically touristy but good. And then, something very important to me, the staff is really kind

I'm a little clumsy at times, but they were incredibly patient

Clearly the receptionist lied to us, which is not very nice if you ask me. Moreover, there was no shower gel in the bathroom (and from my experience, hotels usually give you little bottles of shower gel among others)

The hotel itself is clean and tidy, but the food variety is poor. There’s very little fruit available, and there are no snacks or fruit offered between 2 pm and 7 pm, even though we had an all-inclusive package

We went back to the reception and asked the receptionist (a young guy) if this is their standard triple room since we saw something else on their website

Everyone is very friendly and helpful and polite. The rooms were cleaned almost every day, and all the communal areas, including the pool area, were meticulously clean and tidy

The breakfast buffet was the same every day, but there were plenty of options to choose from. The pool side bar had a good range of drinks and snack food options to buy

The view from the taverna was truly beautiful and could be seen from all tables. The evening buffet was simple but sufficient. As as vegetarian, I was pleased to find that there was always something I could eat

Eva was so helpful in explaining the bus services so we went to Rethymno and Ponormo which were both lovely! Breakfast at the hotel was really good and we ate a la carte at the restaurant most days, the food was lovely and fresh and we loved it at lunchtime for a break from the beach and the views are incredible

(I would suggest that anyone who is considering a stay at the Thalassi Hotel uses Google Street View to 'drive' through the village. That way, you'll know exactly what you're getting and whether Sfakaki is for you

We liked the idea of going to the hotel's beach taverna for dinner and didn't find the evening walk a problem, although the hotel does offer a free minibus shuttle for those who would prefer a lift

Rom has kettle, microwave, hob and fridge with freezer compartment. Pool clean, sunbeds sometimes difficult to get. The grassed area by the breakfast could be utilised for this. Lifts are available to all floors

Our room allocation made our stay perfect. We had a sea and pool view, lovely. There's plenty of storage too which we were pleased with [we don't travel lightly]! Nice balcony

You could order drinks and snacks from your sunbed using a QR code. Waiter Sudesh was particularly pleasant and also worked in the restaurant in the mornings. Breakfast was good and the selection changed every day

Food available from pool bars. Lunches and evening meals available. Special thanks to Kostasfor great service. Hope Olimpiakos wins the league. Note that tourist tax must be paid on arrival or next day

Please be aware of the 10 euros per day tourist tax, that was a shock [we only paid 2 euros a day in July visiting another Greek island, and it was a 4 star hotel] Would highly recommend The Atrion

Water kept spilling over from shower cubicle but nothing to worry about. Great selection at breakfast. All in all a very enjoyable stay

Entertainment - there was a very enthusiastic guy leading the entertainment both during the day and in the evening, I honestly don’t know how he kept going! Around the pool there were games daily, aqua fit and water polo

Lovely friendly and extremely hardworking staff we stayed in block 200 which is in excellent position between the main pool and the adult (quiet) pool

The gym was very small and no air con so advise getting there before the day gets too hot! Layout - the photos always give the impression it’s quite compact but if you aren’t near the centre then it’s a long walk up a big hill! Luckily there was a van / golf cart to help out

There were other activities too such as Pilates - possibly the best view I’ve ever had doing Pilates! There could have been a bit more for teens, and it was a shame the games room wasn’t in the centre of the hotel but a bit further out, but that was only a tiny thing

If you are looking to hire a car this can be done easily from the hotel for a reasonable price, but there are also a multitude of car / quad bike/scooter hire companies on the doorstep and bus connection is just outside the hotel

When we arrived we let them know and they showed my son all the things he could have. They were also happy to prepare gluten free bread, pizza and pasta too, and it really seemed no bother

Pretty good place, the pools great and the food was really nice and theres amazing people there too, the only thing that bothered me were the mosquitoes but its okay.

We had a lovely stay at Heronissos! The team there was incredibly welcoming and organized, ensuring everything felt easy from the moment we checked in

The sunbeds come with tables and umbrellas, and there are plenty of lovely seating areas around the pool to relax. The staff work incredibly hard to keep the whole resort immaculate

It's the little things that count, and the staff's willingness to help really stood out. To top it off, the food was excellent. Thank you for a fantastic holiday!

We visited Crete in September and our stay at this hotel was the best. Thank you all for giving us unique experiences and we will be back soon.

We stayed at the end of September and had an amazing stay. We would highly recommend this hotel – it’s beautiful, spotless, and very well kept, offering a genuine 4-star holiday experience

We have just returned from 2 lovely weeks at the summer dream hotel in Rethymno, after initially been given a room which was a little noisy Nitsa moved us without any hassle, I must say there was nothing wrong with the first room, I’m sure many would enjoy the balcony overlooking a buzzing street but we like quiet, the rooms are clean modern and the hotel and staff couldn’t be more friendly, the room...

Very nice, clean, affordable hotel, with friendly staff. Wonderful breakfast every morning, comfortable beds, nice pool and a great pool bar where you can order a variety of drinks and good food

Big ground balcony with banana palms and a view of the pool. The snack bar by the pool offers a great variety of food & drinks, more than any other pool/snack bar i have seen

I had a superior double room, basically a 44m2 apartment and it was very nice, looked great, modern with everything you need even a washing machine. Touch panels to control lights and AC, very nice bathroom

Very good food, the chef knows what he's doing. 00, with 20% on drinks and food. Breakfast was good, fresh and varied. Its a 5-10 min buss/car ride to Rethymno city

The hotel has this great option of keeping your room for some extra hours on checkout day so you dont have to wander around for hours and hours

The service throughout the hotel was consistently friendly and welcoming, which made a big difference to our overall experience. We stayed in a poolside room, which was very convenient and comfortable

Service was great entertainment, several times we received other guests orders, but we really struggled with the Greek perception that if the kitchen has cooked the food then its put on your table even if your haven't finished your previous course

We had a fantastic stay at Georgioupolis Beach Hotel and would happily return. We visited as a family on a half-board basis, and the food was a real highlight of our trip

There are lots of facilities to enjoy, including a good-sized swimming pool, a gym, and extras like a pool table, bike hire, a hot tub, and a sauna—so there’s always something to do. The location is another big plus

It has a beautiful outside heated pool with super comfy sun loungers (which was perfect for us in April) , a beautiful spa, rooftop jacuzzi, gym area and rooftop bar. I 100 percent recommend this hotel

The hotel is right next to the beach and within easy walking distance of local restaurants and bars. It’s also only about a 7-minute drive to Lake Kournas, which is well worth a visit

We’ve stayed with own pool and it was of a great size, very private, we could relax by the pool while our baby slept inside

Our room with a pool was lovely for a family of three and modern

The new and old buildings mean there's plenty of space for everyone and you can always find a sunbed

and have sea, pools and a river all in same vicinity! Absolute bliss!

My 5 year old loved the kids club and activities. Pools were lovely temperature (though the water slides one was cold) All inclusive wasn’t the best I’ve had

Is in a relaxing area with beachfront views and includes 3 restaurants and 2 heated pools nice and r laxing hotel we will come again for sure!

The rooftop pool is amazing with a full service bar and plenty of different types of seating and views of the city and sea in the distance. All the staff are friendly and helpful

Very good location for this hotel, hotel was very clean and had a nice rooftop pool and restaurant.

Parking was available 👍 The roof ventilation was very loud at the pool, so unfortunately a longer stay at the pool was not possible for me

The hotel is in a great location in the city center, convenient for shopping and visiting museums. The sink is in the bedroom, and the bathroom contains both a toilet and shower

After showering, the entire bathroom floor was flooded. I suggest the hotel separate the shower and toilet areas with a full door

great location near the entrance of the old town. close to the port and bus stop. room was clean with amenities provided

Welcome drink on arrival and a voucher for a free drink at the bar also. Pool area is relaxed and there are loungers on beach and round the pool so best of both options. Rooms are clean and comfortable

Perfect The hotel was absolutely perfect including the restaurant, facilities, pool, Beach, location, staff and cleaning.

Great room overlooking the beach, breakfast was very good, pool area was nice, Sparkling Spa was great

Friendly and very helpful staff. Our sons shared a room in which the air conditioning was ineffective and it was very b hot. Altho we mentioned it to the staff, nothing was done to rectify the situation.

We stayed here for only a few nights on our honeymoon and we were very happy with how clean and friendly the staff was! We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to everyone!

We arrived very late and went to the sister property where we waited half an hour only to learn we were at the wrong place - so be cautious as they have three adjacent properties

So much so that the restaurant terrace is directly adjacent to the main pool, which is not a problem by itself, but feels a bit crowded

Great hotel with excellent food and stuff. Close to the beach. Nice tennis court. The room is clean and spacious with nice sea view. Spa is relaxing.

We stayed at the hotel for 10 days with the family for summer vacation. We've stayed at the hotel multiple times as the staff here are personable and friendly. Our kids love the food, the beach and the area in general

beautiful ambience, friendly staff. my masseuse Lydia did a great job, also she made sure that I’m comfortable and was really respectful. I felt very welcomed there and would definitely recommend visiting the spa

It was super ok the massage was very well executed! satisfied with Lidia's services The hotel is beautiful the room is clean it is very well arranged! the staff is very good

Cretan Massage with Lydia was perfekt! Very relaxed, nice atmosphere. SPA is nice and modern. The Hotel ist also perfect was the vacation with small children.

Our rooms were cleaned multiple times daily, including an evening turn down service. Our pool was spotless and the water was pleasantly refreshing. The pictures of this resort and the rooms truly do not do it justice

The location was amazing! It was an easy walk to the main pool (which we only used once since we had our own pool), the bar, breakfast restaurant and lobby area. My bathroom was 200+ square feet

We stayed in a 2 bedroom superior bungalow with a private pool (Bungalow 1/1A)

We visited the beach bar and chairs and loved them but really found the chairs on the rocks on the edge of the ocean were our shangri-la! We ate at all of the resorts restaurants as well as several of the sister resorts, all easily accessible by the resort's shuttle boat and the food was scrumptious at every one of them

The atmosphere at each restaurant is completely different, as is the menu, so be sure to venture out and try them all! The staff went over the top to accommodate every request, leaving us special gifts and treats in our rooms

Everything was a gorgeous marble, floors and walls alike. The closets were so elaborate and beautifully appointed my sister took pictures of how they were laid out as she was getting ready to do a remodel of hers

Great spot if you plan on taking a ferry to santorini, its a 20 minute walk. Breakfast was nice here. Only downside was paper thin walls on the first floor, youll be able to hear your neighbors if they are loud!

The location is also very good, right by the sea, opposite the beach is nice, there are two swimming pools in the hotel, the children had a lot of fun playing in the water

Wonderful hotel in good location. Just a short walk to the old town for shopping, dinning, etc.

Great pool bar, there were even inflatables in the pool for the kids to use. The staff here are all absolutely lovely, they are so friendly and helpful. They can’t do enough for you and always with a smile

The staff were absolutely brilliant. So helpful and friendly. Room was so comfy, lush decor and really relaxing. Food was gorgeous. All fantastic and really reasonable, affordable price. Thank you!

There was a pool inside the hotel, so we went for a swim to relax instead of getting a massage

The hotel is great so are the staff the food is awful it was cold every time and there is not enough sunbeds no hand rails down to the pool and to get to the beach are about 20 steps which is not disabled friendly

loved the food, the location of the hotel was perfect. such a relaxed pool space never had problem getting a sunbed. overall loved our stay in Mari Kristen and would most definitley return , thank you Dave and Sandra

Very small pool but enough beds for this time of the season. This hotel is definitely not four star rating ( probably more like a 3 star) and doesn't look anything like the photos on the website

Lovely hotel staff were brilliant we have three of us that or disabled the three young lads were lovely they looked after us for the 10 days we were there food was OK pool was a bit small but overall it was nice would recommend it the young lady on reception was very good the moment we got there to the moment we left

The room was spacious and the hotel was nice. Cleaning could have been a bit better. There were a few minor issues in the room - nothing big. So close to the beach and there are all kind of shops around.

After getting there late, we were greeted with the most warm welcome from Mike( who is definitely a credit to the Hotel) right from start of holiday to end. could not find any fault with hotel at all

Really good food. Gym above average Like the ground room with its own pool Personnel was really great

You can enjoy great cocktails until 1am, and no rubbish brands. It was really sad to leave, but this will definitely be our choice of place whenever we’re back in Crete!

The Wife and I spent a few nights nights here during our "babymoon" in early September. The place was very well kept, the 1st floor room was excellent walking right out to the pool

An amazing stay! The place is well located, in a quiet area away from the busy town, but right across from a bus stop that can take you to Chania centre for €3

The hotel is something out of the “White Lotus” series; fantastic pools, right in front of the sea, great restaurants, and best of all; amazing staff. Everyone is sooooo friendly that you literally feel like hugging them

Garden area near the pool was a little unkept needed attention there seemed to be a leak on one area of the garden near the restaurant which was getting muddy Snack bar other than fruit food was awful Food was average not 5 star! In fact it became very repetitive !!Breakfast same every morning, Evening meal very little fish

Guest rooms were clean and exactly what they promised, the pool side breakfast and pool area was wonderful and quiet. The meeting space was perfect and the location was so convenient, we could walk everywhere

The pool was lovely, and breakfast was delicious with a nice variety, plus it stayed open late, which was a great surprise if you want to sleep in

Because two people couldn't pass. Our balcony only had enough room for a single chair. Lobby is nice spacious with a full bar. The breakfast is ample with hot and cold choices, and you can eat poolside

We stayed here last year and when we needed another night in Chania before joining a trip it was the obvious place to come. As before, we were made very welcome at Reception as we arrived even later than we had said

The staff really stood out- they were incredibly helpful with arranging taxis and even coordinated a medical appointment for me, explaining how the process worked. That level of care made a big difference

I had a wonderful stay here! The location is perfect- you can walk to many areas, and I only needed a taxi to and from the airport. The rooms were impressively quiet; I never heard my neighbors once
