Hotels with pool in Rethymno

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 staff are so busy but they are highly trained and the service cannot be faulted. Room wise - we have been a few times now so we know what suits us and booked the Ground Floor Deluxe Bungalow

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

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

A large hotel with usual facilities. Room was fine, though shower needs improvement as it wets the bathroom floor. Good choice of breakfast items. Location on main road not seafront so some road noise

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

This place is the nicest hotel, with the nicest beach and pool scene, along with the most helpful, friendliest staff. They even packed us to-go breakfasts on the day we left because we had an early transfer

Beautiful place! Staff was very friendly! Rooms were cleaned everyday, and at night house keeping would come in and see if you needed more waters or towels

This hotel is great and the breakfast and cleanliness are excellent

It would be nice if they would change it up with different options. Also, Maybe try covering up the fruits because there was nats flying around and landing on the fruit which was gross

The circular pool was amazing Sunbeds for everyone. Excellent hospitality from all staff. Beautiful grounds and the stunning palm garde

Beautiful hotel, very well looked after and maintained. Staff were all incredibly welcoming, helpful and progressional. Setting is stunning, direct access to the beach and walkable into the old town. Perfect get away

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

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

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

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

They have a kettle and a coffee filter - here, maybe they can upgrade to a more modern coffee machine (like the ones with pods), cutlery and plates. So if you want to cook small dishes, maybe is enough

Beds were very comfortable and quite large. Service: staff and management were very nice and attentive. Maybe 2-3 bottles with water in the room on arrival will be nice for a 4* hotel. Pool: spacious enough and clean

We had a medium fridge, good enough to keep some food to eat in the room and few bottles of water. They even have an electric stove, one frying pan and medium saucepan, but we never used

Service is great, the room service girls will help cater to your needs. Thank you everyone at Archipelagos Residence for making my stay in Rethymno wonderful & contributing to my impressive photo collection

An excellent hotel with very spacious rooms. The hotel is situated on a hillside with 3 separate lifts. The hotel has a small beach directly in front over the road which is really nice.

It's a truly exquisite hotel to stay in the Superior Studio Sea View Room with a private pool. As soon as we had checked in, we had every moment with a blast. The private pool is one of the highlights of our stay

The location of the hotel is very good, the food is good (not many choices but still good), however the rooms are not the best (kinda old, the roof is damaged) and the towels comes dirty, changed every 3 days.

This is already my fourth stay at this hotel, and once again, everything has been perfect. A heartfelt thank you to the hotel staff for always considering my preferences and making sure I feel welcome

Very thoughtful and kind staff! Correspondive, kind reception! Breakfast is just amazing, full of variety and plenty of food!! Location 10/10. Fabulous hotel.

I can't thank the team enough for always being there to help with beach recommendations depending on the wind, transportation tips, and any questions we had

The hotel could use a bit of renovation, but its location—and above all, the kind and attentive staff—more than make up for any shortcomings

The only thing that I can comply is on the loud street noice that comes from the outside, late at night and on earling morning hours

The pools were great, some reviews complain about finding a sunbed but we did not find this to be the case, perhaps it depends on other guests. At the beginning of our stay the sunbeds by the main pool were taken by 7

30 although there were still some by the jasmine and octopus pools however by the latter part of our stay there were still sunbeds available by 10

We arrived late at night so it was very beautiful, we really liked the lighted pools! However, when we got to our hotel room it was a little disappointment. The furniture of the room was very out dated and dirty

Just Got back from a 11 Day Stay Here, With My Husband, Enjoyed Our Stay , Rooms Were Very Spacious and Clean , Breakfast was Very Good, And Most Of The Staff Were Lovely, I Would Have To Be Honest, We Found The Older Barman Not The Most Welcome, But Everyone Else was

We slept with the aircon on and the fan which was no problem. We had no problem with getting a sunbed and usually didn’t get to the pool until after 10am

Every part of the pool gets the sun eventually throughout the day. The onsite supermarket is well stocked and there are plenty of supermarkets on the seafront. Breakfast is €14 and plenty to choose from

During our 7-night stay, our bed sheets were changed once and we were given clean towels 4 times

The hotel staff is nice, the food is delicious, the pool is a bit shallow but suitable for swimming, the hotel's location is excellent, there are many places around the hotel where we can eat various delicious meals, there's also a supermarket nearby, and the beach is practically right under the hotel

They say this hotel is only 3 stars. Staff was super nice and friendly, food was great, reallyclose to the beach and many interesting places to visit by foot. I wish i could live there, can't wait to visit again

The cleaning ladies come quite often, but if you keep things tidy, sometimes they don't even have to do anything

Good place, the sea is near, tasty food, enough clean

It's beautiful group of hotels.

For 2 weeks only a couple of times there were mussels and once shrimp for dinner. Breakfasts all 14 days were the same. -There is no kettle/coffee maker in the rooms, and tea/coffee is not offered at dinner either

-Cleaning the room depended on the woman who cleaned. -beds, umbrellas and towels on the beach all for a fee, although this was not warned. And we had a full package bought

Only when I complained to the general manager of the hotel, he left us alone. (“You can not sit at this table, you can not drink from this cup here, you have to dress differently” and everything like that)

Dishes in the restaurant - this is a separate story for discussion. There is no entertainment for children. Even board games and that for a fee. Will I come here again - definitely not

Pros: -very close to the sea (less than 1 minute) -Near supermarkets/coffee shops -15 minutes by bus to Rethymno Cons: Minuses: -breakfasts and dinners

-Restaurant manager Michalis (an old man with makeup) constantly yelled at the staff and went to make remarks to the guests, it was very annoying

People are usually staying near pool, so almost all sunbeds are taken (and yes, some guests are still having the habit of leaving a towel on a sunbed but showing up 3 hours later)

From the pool area you walk directly onto the beach, which is sandy where you sit but consists of pebbles at the waterline, watershoes are highly recommended here! This is our first time to Greece and Crete, so there is a lot for us to discover

But I strongly suggest booking a room with a pool view, where you can enjoy an evening or two on the balcony. We had different menus every day and the choice was just perfect, not too much and not too little

I want to thank all the staff and employees for their hard work and kindness. Especially the bartenders from the pool bar. God bless you all! 🙏🏼 ~ Rafael Frolov

Er is één mevrouw bij de receptie die zelfs Nederlands spreekt. Our room (nummer 217, 😊) is well sized with private balcony, airco and jacuzzi. It is all kept clean daily, including making the beds door twee lieve dames

If you need anything special there is a small shop on the territory of the hotel or you can go into the town 10 mins, where there are plenty of restaurants and shops, including Lidl

Beautiful small hotel and lovely staff By the roadside we had a sea view which was lovely rooms at the back can hear the traffic Enough beds for guests not always enough space outside for breakfast though Pebbly beach so take beach shoes Location great to walk into the old town Can walk this in 15 mins Hundreds of shops bars restaurants so we visited every evening and got a taxi back for about 6...

Although we were not guests of the hotel, Panos welcomed us with such kindness and hospitality. By ordering drinks, we were allowed to use the wonderful sunbeds on the beach

The rooms were always clean and well maintained, and the overall atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful throughout our stay

I called the hotel, and they immediately found it and arranged a taxi delivery to the airport — truly excellent service. I’m very grateful and would definitely recommend this hotel to others

The most impressive part was their quick response when I realized — already on the way to the airport — that I had left my phone in the room

A very cozy and pleasant hotel. It’s located about a 20-minute walk from the Old Town, which makes it easy to explore the city on foot

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.

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

This was our fourth visit to the Fortezza. We were given a friendly welcome and allocated our requested room. We were also able to borrow a kettle from the reception and get pool towels

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

The pool area is a big bonus in the old town area. There are sufficient sun beds and we never had trouble getting a bed or somewhere to sit. The pool was not too cold and a decent depth to swim

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

While we were here the temp was about 30 degrees, the pool area was a sun trap and it did get very warm, so the pool was great to cool off

the place is very clean inside and out out side the plants are very nice the owners are doing a super job we had 2 weeks in june the place is near the sea and the place is a few mins walk to taxi bars shops and supermarkit the woman who cleans the rooms makes towel animals which is nice when you come to your room taxi into rethymnon is 10mis and 10 euros the place works on trust if you take anything...

Maria and staff that run the accom are super lovely, helpful and accommodating. Perfect and clean rooms with a cleaner who comes every day. Lovely garden with pool that felt like your own

Excellent rooms, large swimming pool in site, laundry, kitchenette and refrigerator. Lovely hostess, Maria, always there to help. Rooms are clean and all amenities are present

Wi-Fi is only on pool area but they are working on it for every room

Easy check-in (even though we arrived at 2am). Good location just outside of Rethymeo. Lidl and local restaurants in walking distance as well as a long stretch of beach (10 minutes walk)

To get to nice local coves and special restaurants with a view there’s easy taxi service (10-20 minutes to get to beautiful spots

Quiet property. No front desk but the owner is accessible via text. Location is great, in the old town but on a quiet street.

Great hotel, lovely room with nice bathroom, lovely courtyard with a pool which is often protected from the sun for a drink, a rooftop with chairs for sunbathing, a kitchen well stocked and lovely staff

It has a parking nearby so it's also not an issue if you come with a car and plan to do some road trips. Hotel itself is clean, rooms are well fitted and nothing stands in a way for you to have a perfect vacation

We stayed at this hotel with my girlfriend for a couple days. We had a great time! Location is amazing, right in the old city with great romantic atmosphere of narrow streets and cozy places

We loved our one night stay and wish we had more time to stay another night

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

Great hotel with its own parking. There is a swimming pool and a great view of the city and the sea. Awesome diverse breakfast buffet. There is a game room, that we use to play chess and a gym (we didn't use it)

Great hotel with very nice location in the town with a awesome view. Comfy beds, nice breakfast and pool bar. Totally recommended!

You can reach the city by foot through a special way next to the pool very fast

Excellent room, a bit small but for a couple it will do. Clean pool. Has also a children sector separate.

For the return trip we used a taxi for 6 Euro because it was 35-40 °C when we visited. The hotel is quiet, because located at the edge of town near a forest. We loved Forest Park and can recommend it

It was our first time in Rethymno and we loved the Forest Park Hotel. The view while enjoying the delicious breakfast and dinner was amazing. The staff was very friendly and provided great service
