Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Crete

Amazing views, great service from every single staff member of this hotel, the highlight was the private pool plus the breakfast by the pool. 10/10 in all aspects!

Our room was absolutely gorgeous. Super spacious and more than enough room for us. The standout feature for us was the private pool and oversized balcony which had many chairs and sitting areas for us to relax by the water and enjoy the sunset. The staff were also amazing and very helpful.

Hotel is new with very nice view of Chania. Rooms are spacious and very comfortable. Our room had a small private pool. Hotel has a garage. It is on the way from old town Chania to the airport.

Beautiful property close to airport, Old Town and Harbour. The breakfast was amazing and delivered right to your room at your specified time. We booked a room with a private pool amd the sunsets were simply breathtaking.

The private pool was just wow. Not deep but definitely amazing. The room was fully automated. You close the entire room from a button. Impressive. It was spotless.

- The food was exceptional. - Great front desk and friendly people around taking care of the guests. - Sea side, easy access to beaches. Overall a nice resort! - I had a suite with a private pool. A big pool with a lot of privacy.

The staff were very helpful. A special thank you to the woman at the tour desk. She provided excellent suggestions for activities. Our room was beautiful with an amazing view and a private pool. The entire resort was set on a hillside so the views were fabulous! We wished we had stayed longer.

Booked a room with a sea view, was very surprised and happy to find we had our own private pool! Comfy beds, excellent choice at Breakfast and lovely views!

Beautiful luxury rooms, we were upgraded to an apartment with a private pool.

The room with its private pool was amazing

This hotel was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The views are outstanding. We had a room with private pool but the main pool was also quiet and relaxing

We really liked the room we booked. We had a semi-private pool, mini fridge, good airconditioning and beautiful view. It was the ideal place to relax! The breakfast was also really good!

The hotel was great as was the private pool. Unfortunately, there was a huge wasp problem and breakfast was very uncomfortable. There were hundreds of wasps over all the food and hovering around the tables.

Breakfast was great. Rooms were small and were equipped adequately. Bathroom was very small and difficult for three people. Private pool suite was great

Buffet breakfast is good and varied. Koffie and fruit juices are good too. A wonderful sea view from the covered outside breakfast/pool area. Some rooms have a partially private pool adjoining their room, but these rooms look back toward the hill and not the sea. Very quiet area and only a short 7-8 min. drive from center of Agios Nikolaos.

The hotel is huge, very clean. Food was available all the time, so we were never hungry. Very nice beaches and pools. Me and partner were lucky to get the room with private pool:) Especially I want to say big thanks to staff of the hotel. They were extremely helpful and friendly!

The first time we had a room with a private pool, it was amazing. We love to stay at your place, the location, and the food. This time we would like to express our gratitude to the hotel staff for their amazing support through our difficulties and health issues during the stay, Thank you ♥

Perfect hotel. Wonderful location, breathtaking view, very high quality food, courteous and helpful staff, the stay at the hotel was magical. The room with a private pool is perfect. Thank you and we will be back soon.

I loved everything about the hotel. The staff were friendly and food was good. The room was amazing, really loved the private pool and the view of the ocean.

Wonderful. Had room with private pool and spectacular view. Loved it and look forward to returning.

I really like the idea of the under road tunnel to the beach, much safer than crossing the busy road. The view from both of the rooms was amazing. I enjoyed the swimming pool access from the swim up room. Good choices of food.

Sehr freundlicher und zuvorkommender Empfang. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die gesamte Anlage ist sehr gepflegt. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Swim Up Pool, echt toll, kann ich nur empfehlen.

We really enjoyed the amazing view, the spacious and clean room and the swim up shared pool (that we almost utilised exclusively! 😉). Breakfast and dinner offered amazing variety of choices!

The hotel has exceeded my expectations! The staff is super friendly and the rooms comfortable and clean. Great location with direct access to the beach. Swim up rooms have a wonderful sea view. Food is very good with large variety.

Modern Hotel, great swim-up room, breakfast and dinner buffet great, very friendly staff.

Loved our room with private pool, very comfy pool bed to use during the day. Staff were very friendly. Yummy breakfast options with range of snacks to purchase during the day. Walking distance to large supermarket and restaurants near by.

This was an amazing experience. The hotel is soooo cool. Adults only. Private pool. Shared Pool. Jacuzzi. 5 min walk from the beach and the staff will do anything to make your stay perfect. 15 min from the airport,

The room was very large and well equipped. The private pool in the room was fantastic. The check-in and check-out process went smoothly. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The cats were very cute.

Very friendly staff. Lovely private pool.

Beautiful hotel in great location! We enjoyed the private pool, and cabana. Room very comfortable , delicious breakfast each morning with lots of variety Staff very friendly and helpful Large pool with plenty of lounge chairs and comfortable cabanas Lots of parking Easy access to bus to City centre right in front of hotel Short walk to beautiful beach! We loved everything

Very nice resort, with private beach, clear water and several swimming pools. Generally easy to get a lounger. Private pool was nice too. Good entertainment for kids and also adults (regular evening shows, sports classes, etc). Good food and very good service. Would highly recommend.

The resort is very nice. The staff was great and very helpful. The food was delicious. Our room was very nice. We loved it. Its the best room we ever had, with its own private pool. The resort is situated next to a beautiful beach.

We had a lovely stay at the hotel! The staff were very kind and helpful, the services provided were great, and we especially enjoyed our room with a private pool and a beautiful mountain view – it made the experience truly special.

Everything, the room was comfortable, and the staff was amazing. Special thanks for the reception desk, Elektra and Evangelia, and their support in every single question. I even got room with a private pool even though I did not book one :)

The accommodation was well appointed, comfortable, clean ,quiet and we loved the private pool. The complex suited our needs with a young family well and the food was excellent. All the staff were very helpful and pleasant.

Amazing resort, clean, food was good and also the staff are really friendly. Special thanks to Demetrius who worked at the pool bar. Amazing guy and really made us feel welcome. We also got Upgraded to a suite with private pool which was nice. Definitely recommend it!

Beautiful hotel, very nice area with pools & restaurants/bars, direct access to the beach. Sports options and nice food for all family members throughout the day. The private pool felt very luxurious and we loved that you could always find a free sunbed or quiet place for relaxing.

property was clean , and comfortable, it has coffe machine and microwave and other useful things they have family rooms with private pool.

We were upgraded free of charge to room with private pool

Superb service - Really did the best to match our needs + The hotel is brand new, So all facilities are in in excellent condition, plus - everything is spotless clea + Amazing room -We got upgraded to a room with a private pool + Excellent food, in all 3 restaurants (We didn't eat at the grill bar). The variety and food qualify will meet everyone's taste.. + Recently opened amusement park & mini-golf court provided a lot of joy to our 2 years old child.

I was in the room with the private pool which was great, the staff was really helping of course the famous Dimitria that brought us fruit and white for my birthday :) the staff in the kitchen was very helpful as well and overall experience was very welcoming and also many sweet cats!

The location is greate. The room with the private pool is amazing. The all inclusive is good (include drinks and good food every meal

Junior Suite with private pool was amazing and the room was spacious. Lunch and dinner included in our all inclusive was really good. Cleaning of the room was efficient and quick with minimal disturbances. The hotel is not too far from attractions and events.

The room with the private pool was exceptional - we've had the most relaxing holiday in a while. I 100% recommend this hotel if you are looking for a place where to switch off completely from work/life stress. The food was overall very good and although the vegetarian options were sometimes limited, the staff was more than happy to help us out with alternatives - that was incredibly appreciated! The overall atmosphere was great and it felt very inclusive - adult families, couples, and even solo travellers.

We booked 2 x private pool suites between a group of 4 of us. Both rooms were stunning. We unfortunately had a slight issue in one of the rooms which resulted in us being moved, but the staff were excellent and very helpful with the room switch. The hotel manager came to us personally and offered us late check out for free as a good will gesture, as we had a late night flight. We would 100% book this hotel again.

The location was close to the airport and port to take ferry, and only 45 minutes from Agios Nichols. The staff, especially Manios at the front desk, was superb. The meals and drinks were plentiful with many unique choices. Lots of fresh fruit, all types of dishes, l many sesserts, etc. We had all you can eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner and free drinks until 11pm. Bar at the pool. There was a little pool for small kids and a larger pool for others. There were hammocks throughout the property and many chairs to sunbathe on. From the property, you could easily walk to other restaurants, towards the bay to see the beautiful sunsets, or to explore the area. The property also had live music in the evening by the pool and car parking was very close by. We also liked the large outdoor seating area to eat your meals.

The staff at the hotel were lovely and so helpful. On arrival, the receptionists informed us that if we went straight through to the restaurant, we could have dinner before checking in so we didn't miss it. The restaurant manager and bar manager introduced themselves by name and shook our hands on our first meeting with them. The hotel and facilities were kept very clean and tidy. Bed were comfortable, and bedroom decor modern. Location was perfect for us. Quiet, yet close enough to the main town for us to get there. There was a bus stop just down the road that was less than €3 and took about 30 mins, if that, to get to Heraklion main town. We enjoyed a few days out there, making the most of the 2 day sightseeing bus. The hotel had plenty of beaches close by to enjoy. The closest being a small stone beach, but a short walk both left and right out of the hotel led to sandy beaches too. We also enjoyed the hotel pool, which has a children's pool and a deeper pool. The restaurant had plenty of choice for all 7 of our group to be happy and well fed. Plenty of variety and changed daily. We would definitely visit again.

From the minute we arrived the reception team were welcoming, our room was sizeable plenty of storage and exceptionally clean. For all inclusive the food was a wide selection and fresh and tasty serving staff attentive. Pool bar for cocktails and drinks with extensive selection. Plastic glasses a bit small for wine but if you sit at the bar, rather than tables you can get proper glasses. Entertainment each night was good staff were fantastic especially Fakir show. Sunbeds were reserved by a lot of guests putting towels down poolside but found the day beds in the gardens much better for cooling sea breeze.

It had a really lovely atmosphere, great pool area and pool bar, brilliant location, food excellent, great rooms,clean, and most of all the staff were amazing.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Especially Pannos, Liza and Annie. Our children really liked the interaction with them at every meal. The Spa was wonderful and the two people there knew exactly what they were doing. The pool and pool bar was also very good and we enjoyed it very much.

Fantastic place with very helpful staff. We stayed at the waterfall suite with the private pool and the room itself was fantastic.

The activities, the room with private pool, the location, the private beach..

This property is amazing! The pool is jaw-droppingly stunning, better than the pictures. Trust me. It didn't feel crowded and the whole place was so airy and beautiful. The rooms were stylish and the private pool (Euphoria room) was so indulgent and special. The food served at the restaurant overlooking the private beach was yum - we went there two out of three nights, as was the lunch/breakfast (but much more low key). Everything was just so well thought out and catered for. The staff were excellent.

The whole hotel is fantastic! We had a room with a sea view and a shared private pool and it was perfect. The private beach with the restaurant and the beach bar is such a nice place to spend the day. All the food on offer was delicious, the on site spa had all the treatments you need. My partner and I had the most amazing time and will 100% go back again one day.

A totally amazing and fantastic hotel, the staff were amazing, the food was delicious, the location was breathtaking, and the services and facilities were everything you would expect from a 5 star hotel. We had a waterfall suite, arrived on Saturday and didn't leave the room until Wednesday - because we were just enjoying the private pool, the room service food was delicious, and housekeeping catered to our lazy few days.

Wonderful hotel in a nice location in Ammoudara. I can totally recommend the private pool rooms, especially the quieter ones like we had - really worth the money! Everyone from the staff was super nice and helpful, we'll definitely return once more.

Amazing stay! Totally worth the price. Everything was perfect – great food, super friendly staff, and they were really careful with my lactose-free needs. Loved the private pool and the tennis court! Couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

Personnel was very helpful and kind. Especially the girls in reception. The bungalow with the private pool is just amazing. Plenty of food, snacks, and drinks during the day.

We stayed in the bungalow with private pool. Room was stunning and facilities were amazing. Staff are very helpful and accommodating

The staff was very accommodating, attentive and friendly. The rooms with access to the private pool were really nice.

Unbelievable from start to finish. We had a premier suite with a private pool which was incredible. The hotel team were amazing and so welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they really made the stay memorable. Restaurants were great with plenty of choice. Service around the pool was fantastic and the cleaning services were perfect. I highly recommend this hotel for any couple looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway

We have just finished our 2 week honeymoon at Nema. We had the King and Queen treatments at Nema’s spa which had been a gift from my sister, this was a great surprise when checking in and was incredible, the spa itself is beautiful and so relaxing. The hotel is lovely, clean and modern and we were so happy with our room (design independent with private pool) what made our stay even better was the hospitality from staff members, they truly made our experience and were so helpful. A special mention to Odysseas, Soumaya, Nikos, Rustiv, Paris, Marianthis and Mandrin - they really make Nema what it is and add to the experience of the hotel - all staff mentioned went above and beyond to make our stay great! So friendly and approachable with no ask too big or small. I hope they are recognised for the large impact they have on all guests who stay with Nema! Last but not least the food, the food was incredible - everything in Rizes was cooked to perfection and was beautifully served. The breakfast and dinner buffets were amazing and each evening there was a different theme with an array of dishes to try. We really loved Cretan night and the live music! I would recommend Nema Design and Spa to anyone, it was such a great way to spend our honeymoon!

Nestled in the stunning heart of Crete, this hotel offers a luxurious sanctuary with chic beachfront views and contemporary design. My room, featuring a private pool, provided seclusion, and the staff were warm and accommodating, offering helpful tips on car rentals. However, housekeeping and room service need improvement, as I experienced issues like delayed restocking, missing bathroom towels, and unfulfilled room service requests. The minibar fridge was empty, and dust was noticeable in the breakfast area. I enjoyed the spa's beautiful environment, but my therapist did not fully listen to my needs, so clear communication is essential to ensure a satisfying experience. Overall, the hotel’s food is delicious, and the staff are truly exceptional.

Die ganze Hotelanlage ist sehr gepflegt, nicht zu gross und das gesamte Personal äusserst freundlich, zuvorkommend und aufmerksam. Zimmerservice kam 2x im Tag und hat sauber geputzt, frische Handtücher gebracht oder Wasser ausgetauscht. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit eigenem Pool, der auch täglich gesäubert wurde. Das Restaurant vom Hotel hat eine grosse Auswahl an sehr leckeren Speisen. Am Pool sowie am Strand konnte man zu jeder Zeit Speisen und Getränke bestellen. In der Umgebung gibt es viele gute Möglichkeiten am Abend essen zu gehen. Ich verbrachte mit meinem Partner 8 wundervolle Tage in diesem tollen Hotel, jederzeit gerne wieder.

We last stayed here when it was called the Elysium. Then it was superb hence the easy choice for returning. Barring a door key issue that was resolved easily enough everything has been perfect. The food here is really good, breakfast is buffet but high in quality. The dinner we had here the food was plentiful and again buffet. Drinks are good quality too. Another great stay this time we picked a designer room with a pool. Just brilliant. Good quality for a fair price. We will be back again. They upgraded the sun loungers to proper comfortable ones and the umbrellas are also changed. Barring that it’s the same great service and quality your money deserves!

the property was beautiful, we were very fortunate in that we got a free upgrade to the swim up area. Top floor apartment, which was beautifully located away from the noise of the two big pools and next to a bar, would highly recommend.

Excellent resort, food was excellent especially in A La Carte restaurants and swim up rooms were really good.

Amazing hotel, staff so friendly, swim up room was brilliant.

the water park is amazing, the upgraded swimup rooms are excellent!

Great accommodation with access to private pool. Great main pool plus water park onsite (awesome). Good selection of restaurants with good quality food.

The staff were so friendly and really went above and beyond at every opportunity. The property was modern and clean. We had private pool. Could not fault anything

We were lucky to get upgrade for a room with a warm private pool, I was great for the October.

Overall a very nice hotel. The staff is very friendly, not annoying. The territory of the hotel is very beautiful. There are several pools and they are not very crowded. The rooms are clean, there are additional creams and hygiene products. We had a room with a private pool - very cool, the pool is refreshing. The location of the hotel is a small town 15 minutes from the beach. A very atmospheric village - with a large number of restaurants of Greek and European cuisine.

everything is perfect in this hotel : - beautiful hotel, it feels like a small village - two heated pools including one with a pool bar inside - beautiful rooms (I asked for an upgrade during my stay, so I had a private pool with sea view, it was awesome, I recommend it) - the food was excellent - staff was super super nice - yoga session some days - special night events some days - special phone application of the hotel where you can find everything about the different events - you can also order from the snack bar or the kitchen through the app I will definitely come back ! thanks

We booked the room with a private pool, which was a unique and enjoyable experience. The standout aspect of our stay was the excellent service from the hotel staff. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff made us feel welcome, and the check-in process was smooth and efficient. The waitstaff at breakfast were also very attentive and friendly, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Additionally, the hotel pools were lovely—clean, well-maintained, and provided a very relaxing atmosphere.

Excellent hotel with good breakfast, with private pool and next to a beach with several bars. Good place to get away from the big cities and relax.

We loved our stay at Nostos. Great location, right on top of the beach in a small resort town. Room decor was beautiful, and was a good size. Balcony overlooked the pool and sea. 2 swimming pools, both well maintained and beds usually available. Would recommend a stay here for anyone looking for a relaxing break.

The most helpful and welcoming personel, breakfast is a variety of every taste, coffee is good which has a big importance for me. Pool is clean, rooms are clean and cozy, bed is comfortable, just beachfront, you wake up in heaven. We had a pool-front room with a nice view.

Really lovely hotel nice and clean. Only downfall is that there is only one englisj channel on the tv and the receptionist isn’t to welcoming. There was no hot water sometimes I’m not sure if they turn it on at a certain time or if it just wasn’t working. Amazing deep pool and lovely sun beds the top pool was a bit busy. The staff in the the nostos cafe are lovely wouldnt fault it. Definitely recommend

We loved the location and the direct access to the beach. The stuff was friendly and we very much enjoyed our daily breakfast with a sea view. The facilities of the hotel (e.g., pools, terrace, restaurant) were well maintained and clean, though the pool side filled up quite quickly in the mornings.
