Hotels with pool in Crete

He always made a point to come talk to us and was very kind. I will also mention that my boyfriend was sick overnight and they offered to make him soup and checked in with him throughout the day which really meant a lot

I have so many wonderful things to say but I will start with the bartender Michael. He is extremely skilled at making drinks that are both delicious and aesthetically pleasing. He has a clear passion for what he does

First I would like to recognize the staff members that stood out and made our vacation enjoyable. Kalliope (front desk ), Michalis (bartender), Mr Theo (maitre) , Vaso (server) and the household staff

He always engaged in conversation and was happy to explain different drinks to me and I really enjoyed the rapport we had. Also Kalliopi the receptionist is extremely friendly and approachable

She was extremely helpful in coordinating transportation for us and I really enjoyed talking to her. Finally, Theodoris the maître d’ was very warm and hospitable

The hotel itself is beautiful and well kept, the room was spacious and the housekeepers did a very good job keeping our room clean throughout the week

The hotel itself is commendable, particularly its restaurant, and the service throughout the premises was consistently prompt. A recommendation would be to update the guest room towels

This may be attributed to several factors, including its limited room capacity, direct beach access (though not a private beach, with a daily fee of 6 EUR for a couple), and its proximity to the higher-priced regions of Rethimnon and Chania

We ended up spending two unexpected days making use of the day facilities… The reception team were extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful

During our recent stay in Crete, we experienced three distinct hotels, including two five-star establishments and one four-star, the Orpheas Resort

The pools are a bit strange, because they look good, but they are not really functional and not good for swimming. Good bread and some choice, but nothing special. Unfortunately horrible coffee

We stayed here for 4 nights, and very much liked it. We had booked two rooms in the standard categorie (towards the road, which is quite noisy), and were upgraded to rooms with garden view, which was very nice

The swimming pool in October was cooler than the sea, yet well exposed, the sun overlooks the hotel terrace all day long

Bonus perks: - Compact gym on-site - Car rentals (available at the hotel or nearby) - Bike rentals - Direct bus to Chania every 30 minutes (runs until late evening) If you're heading to Crete, this hotel is a fantastic pick for your stay on this stunning Greek island 😎

Especially, I would like thank mr Lefteris (head chef), mr Christos (sous chef), Christine (receptionist) and Ioannis (barman) for their extremely warm customer service, helpfulness and professionalism provided during our stay

If you are looking for relaxation, rejuvenation, a clean and quiet environment and above all very, very kind people, this is the ideal place. They treated us like family, and we can't wait to go back next summer.

Everything about the hotel was exceptional. It was clean, stylish, roomy with excellent service for that booking price rate. Definitely we're recommending and aim next season trip to the Castro Beach Hotel

The reception girls were absolute stars!A huge thanks to them for making our stay so comfortable. The whole staff was lovely—always smiling, greeting everyone, and checking in on us 🫶

As regards food, we tended to have dinner out (it’s only a 5 minute taxi ride to the old town and there’s a rank about 20m from the hotel) but the pool bar was good for lunches and the buffet breakfasts in the restaurant were excellent

There’s also a water sports kiosk only 20m away, for parasailing, jet skis etc. The hotel has a nice pool (although a bit fresh!) and the week we were there, there was never any trouble in getting loungers

The best thing for us was the split level family room - twin beds and a shower room downstairs (plus balcony), with a king size and bathroom upstairs, both with a sea view

All the staff were really lovely and helpful, particularly whenever we needed anything. Just to mention some, the names which especially come to mind are Eygenia, Babis, Katerina, Spiros, Stergios and Popi

Our balcony door was really hard to close properly, the shower head holder was broken (they fixed that really quickly) and our room had started to show some wear, but all in all it was a pleasant st

We spent a week in the Aegean Pearl, right at the end of the season in October, and had a fantastic week

Fantastic breakfasts you can have sitting next to the beach if you want. Rooftop pool was lovely, but not many sunbeds. Our room was great with a fridge, balcony and great shower. No hesitation in recommending it

My friends and I stayed here for a week at the very end of the season and had the most fantastic time. The rooms were nice and clean, the staff were super friendly and great fun too

The new sky deck bar and pool is a great addition, the views are incredible. We had B&B which suited us, as there are many restaurants within a 5 min walk

We had a jet 2 week holiday at this lovely hotel. We had a superior grove room, which was well equipped and spacious but lacking in a view. I think the main building has the better views, but much smaller rooms

The breakfasts are served in the ground floor restaurant and overlooking the bay. Everyone was very welcoming, we feel that we had found a little gem of a hotel and will be back

The food in the restaurant was delicious and we absolutely loved the rooftop bar. Elounda is the most fabulous place to visit, full of charm and friendly people

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

It’s great that the washing machine is free to use, just like the billiard table, sauna, jacuzzi, and parking around the hotel. The Wi-Fi was fast, and you can also request a kettle and ironing board for your room

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’s everything you could want for a completely relaxing stay and even access to washing machines, we’ll pack lighter next time! The kids loved the pool, the pool table, the older one used the gym several times, the beach is only steps away and all the views are gorgeous

You can tell how much pride everyone takes in creating such a special atmosphere. The pool area is stunning, the spa is absolutely beautiful, and every detail feels five-star

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

The food was excellent, the facilities in the spa and gym were first rate (Petros was very helpful and supportive, and the masseuse was top class) and the bar staff looked after you at the pool side in a every way possible

We choose a more expensive room with its own private swimming pool (more of a plunge pool) with separate sleeping and living area. The room was clean and daily cleaned to a high standard

If you do not like the music at the main pool, you can use the other (quiet) pool or the beach loungers further from the pool bar. We enjoyed the pool bar service (e

There ws an excellent selection of food both for breakfast and dinner (we did not try the lunch). There was a bar by one of the swimming pools which only sold drinks - adding some food choices would have been nice

We were also extremely lucky with the weather: 22° water and 26° air temperature in the first week of November; so we did not do a lot of sightseeing, but rather enjoyed the snorkeling, swimming, fitness courses and yoga lessons

There were two TVs but with limited programme choice. However, the wifi was good so we used our tablet and a HDMI cable which we had brought with us. There was a coffee machine which we also used to boil water for tea

Andreas the bar man is fantastic always welcoming in fairness all the staff are but he stood out from the rest. Loads of pools to chose from we had a swim up room and hardly used it because the sea is so calm

This was our 2nd visit and we were welcomed like family ,everything was beyond expectation ,amazing accomodation, staff who more than go the extra mile ,food is outstanding, choice was fabulous , absolutely nothing to fault

Whilst there my mother in law slipped (yes they came on honeymoon only because we brought our wedding day forward a year 😂) the hotel was great with sorting doctors and getting her seen quickly staff were very attentive

We will definitely be returning. If it’s pure relaxation you want this is the place. A bus stops right outside hotel to go into Chania takes about 40mins

There are a few shops bars and restaurants near the hotel 10-15min walk is a big supermarket

we are about to book again for next year

The pool is small, but it is really okay. The problem is that some guests put towels so early and they are not even there to swim! The pool is for everyone who wants to swim, but many can't swim, for example, children

Some complaints about it, and management didn't do anything about it. Maybe they can at least put some rules that no reservations in the pool, no leaving of towels when the person is not there

Anyway, the food was great, the best delicious food from breakfast to dinner! I hope they can change the pool rules soon. Thanks for our great holiday season!

The pool is really small for the hotel size and the beach is at 7-10 minutes away, walking. Being a Greek beach, is stone-ish and steep, so is important to note that is not an golf with tranquil water

Personnel are very friendly, our room is clean. It has space in between, like two single beds together, and it's moving all the time. My child's bed is just a folding bed. I expected to be at least bed sofa-bed

I have never experienced such a good food offering in a hotel before and could not find a single item that I disliked. I definitely plan on coming back and fully recommend it

After two wonderful stays in 2025, we've already booked for 2026. We can't wait to return to this resort. For us, it's one of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean (…and we've stayed at many others)

Food was very diversified - everybody could find something delicious to eat. Beautiful place with well-kept gardens and swimming pools. I'd a lovely, bright and big apartment with impressing view

A very very special hotel, with special staff and very special facilities. The food is exceptional, the drinks options fantastic and the upgrades in report for 2026 are total quality

There was multiple activities provided by the entertainment team daily for example aqua bikes, aqua gym and lots of ball games. The entertainment team spoke multiple languages such as French, Spanish and English

A calm location and relaxing atmosphere, spotless through out

The hotel itself was very nice — clean, comfortable, and in a great location. However, we did feel that English guests weren’t treated as warmly as others

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

The holiday at Theo hotel was great! The hotel is in a good location and the food is good. The pool area is really good and the staff is really friendly. I will definitely come here again! ❤️

As good as it gets for every reason you can think of. This was our second year in a row as a family visiting Theo hotel and we have never been back to the same place more than once until now

Hotel Theo perched above Agia Marina is a great resort to explore the N. A stylish, well presented apartment with panoramic views out to sea. A lift took you down to beach level

Location is a big part of why we went back as it’s close enough to the beach and bars and restaurants but far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet

Patio area is the main walk way to other rooms - no privacy. Pool area really good, not supposed to be able to reserve a sunbed, but by breakfast there were plenty of towels out and mist beds gone

The staff are excellent and polite always happy to see you and help with anything. The rooms were very clean and tidy with excellent views all round

I would highly recommend staying at Castello if you visit Crete. I came from India and stayed here for a week. Very helpful staff (especially Harry and Eva, who helped me with getting settled here) and friendly vibe

Clean rooms and balcony with magnificent view

My stay at Castello Hotel was absolutely amazing! The hotel is very clean, comfortable, and well-organized in every detail. The room was cozy, modern, and had everything I needed for a pleasant stay

Of course, you have to take a bus from Korea to get there, but it is a satisfactory place because all buses stop at the middle of the route, and the accommodations and breakfast are all the same

I’m not sure why this hotel has so many negative reviews, and I’m pretty picky about cleanliness and comfortability. Positives: clean room, somewhat modernly furnished, very kind service

The maid service system was also kind of neat, it’s a digital button inside the door instead of a placard. Tea and instant coffee are provided in the room with an electric kettle

The indoor pool was very cold and you had to wear shoes and dry yourself between being in the pool and going to the steam room etc. as well as having a shower in between also. It was very strict and not relaxed

There was a lovely water channel outside our room and a water station nearby which was useful. The toiletries were very nice and we also had a free mini bar. The hotel is very clean and the grounds well maintained

The food was a very high quality and the cakes etc beautifully presented. The staff in the restaurant were very pleasant. There was a Dr there 6 days a week. We were less impressed with the Spa

Service was excellent and special mention to Kostas at La Strada and the drinks waitress (sorry I didn't get your name) at The Steak Restaurant

Food was excellent and the a la carte restaurants were the best ones we've ever experienced in any all-inclusive hotels we've stayed in

We went with TUI and there was no welcome meeting. We spoke to some German representatives who were not that helpful or pleasant

Some homeless boys showed up outside asking for money and looking at my hand bag while I was sunbathing, also going in the swimming pool entrance which made us wary of our belongings and safety

We went to this hotel because of the view and the sauna - and we got so positively suprised! The sea view is spectacular, just outside the window. 🌊💫the breakfast amazing with options à la varte

Absolutely incredible!!! The staff were amazing, it was super new and clean. The architecture was great and the breakfast was the highlight for us.

Good location if you’re looking for somewhere slightly out of town, a little quieter. Only a 20ish minute walk into old town

Everything was incredible from the moment we arrived. Early check in was available, the team arranged parking for our car

Incredible experience in this lovely hotel in Chania. Everything was perfect, from the service to the restaurant.

The breakfast was a nice bonus and we were addicted to the Greek yoghurt and honey! There was maid service and pool maintenance every other day with fresh towels provided

The villa next door overlooks the pool area so not very private but we were lucky as there was no-one staying there for the first few days of our holiday. Crete was lovely and we would return

The only reason I dropped a star was the pool area of the villa had some weeds in the paving which led to the villa looking a little unkempt

We had an issue with our villa pool as it wasn’t filtering but they were quick to resolve the problem

We chose not to hire a car but it was only €8 to Kolymvari where there was a nice assortment of bars and restaurants on the seafront. We ate at the hotel and also the 2 other local restaurants in Spilia too

We had a lovely relaxing week here as a family of 4 with 2 adult children. We had intended to use the sofa bed in the lounge but they had put an extra bed in the single room for us

Really really good food for good prices! nice service and the location is top! We were here in the Restaurant and the beach lounges (not in the hotel) and it is so nice and food is super delicious!! Would give 10 stars if i could

The hotel provide sunbeds for an extra fee, which we maybe were not expecting but it was totally fair and worth it. The breakfast buffet is simple but filling

We have tried a few other restaurants, a few were disappointing but this one was spot on every single time. The staff are incredibly serviceminded, delightful and helpful! The drinks- skip the other places

When we first arrived, the service was phenomenal. We were early, and were provided luggage storage until the room was cleaned. We were also provided som breakfast

We have frequently been walking over to the "pub street". It's super loud and busy, so it's great to stay on the more quiet side

That being said about the restaurant, the breakfast at the hotel doesn't have a lot of variation, and most food tastes like nothing. The location is right in front of the beach, and close to the strip

The villa is spotlessly clean and very comfortable, the pool is lovely and the little balcony perfect to watch sunrise or sunset over the mountains

A shared pool is available if you prefer to relax away from the seaside. The property is starting to show its age and would benefit from some light renovations, ideally done soon to prevent future issues

She has been a wonderful host during our entire stay and we appreciated very much her advices & tips about the region. There are a few very good places to eat within walking distance, including a taverna with fresh fish

Excellent hotel with an excellent location in the west part of Crete, very quiet and near a lovely beach. It is modern, very clean, comfortable and very pretty as well. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Armela

We had a great time at the terrace on the beach, where you can have very good breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as snacks and drinks all day, You need a car to go to the nearest supermarket and shops

The staff are always happy to help you with all your needs, and are very welcoming. This is our second visit to the Azure Beach Villas and my wife and I are looking forward to visiting again next year

The only thing that we could complain about was the pool area - the pool itself is stunning and overlooks the golf course BUT there are too few loungers and too few towels!!! So we arrived on one occasion to nowhere to sit and nothing to dry ourselves with - not ideal, one family with little children were all sat on one lounger! The pool area is not manned in any way so once the towels are gone they...

There were only a few people and we extended until 2 p.m. because of golf at 10:20 a.m. and we were charged a day use at €30, not very commercial, plus no rate on the Green Fée as a hotel guest... golf hotel not great

The room is very luxurious and spacious. The food was delicious and overall a great place to stay after a round of golf! I would reccommend staying here when playing golf or just if you look for some time to relax!

Staff went above and beyond our expectations! Lovely, friendly and helpful people. Once again, thank you guys! Hope we can come back in September. Hotel is quiet, classy and very comfortable. Highly recommended it.

The hotel was absolutely superb, we were there for a 3 night stay at the end of a weeks villa holiday and it was perfect. Rooms were massive, food was excellent, staff were so friendly and helpful

The hotel exceeded all our expectations. The room was impeccably clean, spacious, and beautifully designed. The view during breakfast was breathtaking, like something out of a painting

I would especially like to mention Rena from the bar on the first floor — she truly made our stay unforgettable! Also, a big thank you to Elena, Anna, and Ioanna, who made sure every morning at breakfast was perfect and that we had everything we needed

I highly recommend that if you are coming to Crete that you look her up. Another amazing worker is Katerina. She was great to interact with. Her upbeat attitude was amazing. I really appreciate all of the staff at Kydon

We had a fantastic time at Kydon Hotel! It’s definitely one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at so far. The location is beautiful, the staff is amazing, and everything was exceptionally clean and well-maintained

View from upper floor of the old city is stunning. Located just 5min walk from the old port which offers many restaurants and tourists shops. Very nice breakfast with many options. Valet parking is a big plus.

She is amazing at everything she does. I really appreciate her welcoming attitude. I have never been more welcomed at any other location. Being an outsider I really appreciate being involved in her day to day

The food and service are the best! Especially Rena, who works the bar. She makes the best drinks, always has a beautiful smile to greet everyone with, and willing to be helpful to those of us not from Crete.
