Editor's note
The Grecotel Caramel Boutique Resort features an outdoor pool as a central amenity, complemented by private pools in some accommodations. While specific details on the main pool are scarce, the presence of well-maintained private pools suggests a focus on guest comfort and aesthetics. However, the limited information makes it difficult to assess unique features or extensive poolside services.
Pool details confirmed against the hotel's own website plus at least one independent source. No editor has visited in person. Booking links may earn us a commission; they never influence the ranking order.

Why it's on the list
The resort features a lagoon-style saltwater pool with submerged leaf-shaped loungers, surrounded by sun loungers and cabanas. There is also a shaded children's pool available. Some rooms are upgraded to include a private pool, providing an exclusive option for guests.
Why it's not higher
The main lagoon-style saltwater pool is not heated, which may result in chilly temperatures outside of peak season. No specific opening hours are provided for any of the pools.
