Hotels in East Crete with a Pool

One of the best options for family holidays in Makry Gialos. The rooms are super clean, spacious and the facilities are one of the best set up you can have (laundry, dish washer).

Absolutely amazing place, Katerina is the best! The rooms are so clean and tidy, the staff are so friendly and helpful and Katerina is always there for you.

Had a wonderful 2 weeks at Villea village the staff are so lovely and friendly. The breakfast is so good and Chrisoula is so lovely and friendly. The gardens are stunning and the pool area is lovely.

Beautiful relaxing chill out resort, good pool plenty of sun beds, good breakfast and pool bar facilities.

Every review you read is correct, this place really is wonderful.
We woke up the first morning after arriving late, stepped onto the balcony and literally gasped at the view.

We arrived on Tuesday by ferry, having visited Santorini before, making this our fourth visit.

We had a lovely week at this resort in Oct.
Very organised on arrival, a buggy took us to our room, which was a deluxe sea view.

We stayed here with teenage children and older parents.
Brilliant location on a beautiful cove. The design of the hotel is superb and the rooms really nice.

My husband and I stayed here for one week in mid October. The hotel is stunning and so amazing to be on the beach. The staff were incredibly helpful, kind and friendly.

I had a wonderful stay at NUMO Ierapetra Beach Resort. From the warm welcome at check-in to the consistently friendly service throughout my stay – everything was pleasant and highly attentive.

If you are looking for an escape that defines true luxury, care, and flawless attention to detail, the Six Senses Spa at Elounda Peninsula is an absolute must.

Our family holiday at Elounda Peninsula Luxury Resort was honestly a dream from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, my husband, our two girls, and I felt completely looked after.

We stayed in a family suite with access to the garden. The hotel’s concept is to offer a Cretan village experience, and the buildings are designed accordingly.

Amazing! We would recommend to both adults and children. A little piece of paradise. Our stay here felt like a wellness retreat with lots going on for the whole family!

Great hotel we just spent a week with family. The food is good and the staff at the top!

Great hotel for a family stay.
Paradise for children: swimming pool, slides, beach with deckchairs, facilities and playgrounds, mini club: something to do especially for the little ones!

The hotel was clean, and most of the staff were really helpful and kind. There was enough comfortable sun-beds at the beach and at the pool area.

I highly recommend Tylissos Beach Hotel to anyone who is looking for a peaceful relaxing vacation in Ierapetra, Crete.

Staying at Porto Belissario Hotel was such a wonderful experience! The area is absolutely lovely – calm, relaxing, and perfect for a getaway.

What a beautiful hotel and what fantastic staff. Nothing was a problem for the staff, the food was lovely the breakfast very good the location stunning.

I recently spent a week in one of these studios. It was very clean and well equipped. It had great, fast Wi-Fi, and the bed was super comfortable too!

Nice quiet area, lovely clean studio with a great view of the sea and mountains.
Eleni was very helpful and was always contactable if needed.

This is a truly beautiful and relaxing hotel. The atmosphere is tranquil and the bar and restaurants offer high quality and attentive service. This is a location to escape, relax and retreat.

A quiet lovely resort — well-kept, peaceful, and with food that genuinely impresses.

We had a lovely stay at Artemis hotel Analipisi : Lovely location, a great room, and helpful, friendly staff.

Nice hotel newly renovated located right by the beach. Super nice staff and tidy clean rooms.
Good restaurant. We did not have breakfast included so can’t comment on this.

This hotel is lovely but I wouldn’t say it is 5 ⭐️
It is very clean and modern and the staff are very helpful and friendly.
We stayed bed and breakfast and the breakfast was very good.

This is a beautifully run hotel, with high end facilities, friendly (and authentic) service and views to die for. The breakfast each morning was a real highlight — there's something for every taste.

Fully enjoyed our return stay after 21 years this May of 2026. We could not believe how well managed and how well everything looked, top notch!

Rooms: Spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The décor is simple but elegant. Most rooms offer beautiful sea views—waking up here is a highlight.
Value: Excellent for what you get.

Our stay was very pleasant. The staff were great. Hostess Mary was fantastic. She and Muhamed made us feel very Welcome. The staff were friendly. The food was varied, delicious and healthy.

A lovely hotel. We had two rooms, a superior and double. Both were spacious and very close to the communal pools. Good size balconies.
Pools never busy-even at this time of year.

Very nice hotel that deserves its five star atmosphere and animators with top food excellent and varied, comfortable rooms and all the staff of extreme kindness.

Very nice hotel, friendly staff and very varied food buffet with lots of choice. I recommend this destination.

A perfect holiday. We emailed ahead as we were arriving late and asked for wine to be put in the fridge and for the aircon to be on. Rooms are spotless and comfortable.

We have just returned from the most perfect 2-week holiday on the 30th anniversary of our first ever visit. The welcome and hospitality from Maria, George and Yannis was excellent, as always.

I stayed here recently in one of their rooms with the small swim up pool and I honestly couldn’t fault it. The service was the absolute stand out for me. Everyone I interacted with at the hotel was

This place is a beautiful setting for a quiet getaway, and everyone who works there deserves it to be a success.

Vila Istron is a fantastic place to stay, very well-equipped and comfortable. The only minor issue was that the air conditioner could be quieter. Overall, everything was excellent.

Wonderful Villa, with private pool in a beautiful, quiet are, a few minutes walk from a gorgeous beach.
Very clean, well kept Villa, with everything you could possibly need.

My wife and I returned to St. Nicolas Bay Resort this August for the second consecutive year, which is unusual for us but says it all.

My husband and I stayed here a couple of weeks ago and had a wonderful time. Our room was a sea view 2 bedroom suite with private hot tub on a half board stay.

We stayed for 10 days this past June. We had a room for my husband and I and our 2 kids, we also booked an adjacent room for my parents. The view was phenomenal. The staff was so nice and helpful.

We stayed for a week to celebrate our anniversary, and overall we had a wonderful holiday. The hotel itself is immaculate, with incredible views that make it a truly beautiful place to stay.

Good hotel crete iarapetra.

Very nice host, pool and accomodation was ok. It was not the newest and best interior, but totally fine. Nice view to the Beach, you can also enjoy the sunset.

One of the best hotels you could ever find!

We had a lovely stay at Elounda Palms. The overall cleanliness of the hotel was great, amenities in the rooms were good and the staff were very friendly.
