Why it's on the list
Porto Elounda offers a wide array of heated seawater pools, with many rooms and suites featuring direct access to either shared or individual private pools. The largest shared pool for Premium Junior Suites boasts a surface area of 135 m², while individual pools range from 19 m² to 34 m². Guests can enjoy sunbathing and refreshing dips directly from their private furnished terraces.
Why it's not higher
The hotel primarily offers private and shared access pools for specific room categories, rather than a large, centrally accessible main pool for all guests.
