InterContinental Crete by IHG
Agios Nikolaos, Agios Nikolaos, Greece · ★ 4.7 Exceptional B.Booking.com 9.3
Private plunge pool on your own balcony, sea views, and a 9.3 guest score in Agios Nikolaos.
Slip into the plunge pool on your private balcony as the Cretan Sea goes from afternoon blue to something closer to ink, and you'll understand immediately why guests rate this place 9.3 out of 10. The InterContinental Crete by IHG sits above Agios Nikolaos, and the rooms with pools are arranged so the water and the view line up neatly. No shared terrace, no neighbours peering over. Just you and the sea.
If you're looking for a hotel with a private in-room plunge pool in Agios Nikolaos, this is one of the more polished options on the island. The rooms themselves are calm and clean, all navy headboards and pale timber slatting, which the photo confirms. Several configurations are available, from a premium king to a one-bedroom suite, so it works for couples and for families who need a sofa bed. The honest caveat: Agios Nikolaos is a working town rather than a resort strip, which is either its charm or its limitation, depending on what you're after.

Questions, answered
Is the plunge pool actually private, or shared with other rooms?+
Each qualifying room has its own plunge pool on a private balcony, so you won't be sharing it with anyone else on your floor.
Does the plunge pool balcony face the sea?+
The sea-view room categories are named explicitly for their sea outlook, so yes, the pool and the view face the water, though the precise angle will vary by floor and room position.
Which area of Agios Nikolaos gives the best views from an in-room tub?+
The bay-facing properties along the northern coastal edge of town, including St. Nicolas Bay Resort Hotel & Villas, put the Mirabello Bay directly in your sightline. A hillside or waterfront position makes a real difference here, so it's worth checking the suite's orientation before you book.
What's the price range for a private tub suite in Agios Nikolaos?+
Across the five properties we list, nightly rates run from around €70 to €613, so there's genuine variety. The lower end tends to be smaller hotels in shoulder season, while the higher end reflects full-service resorts with larger villa-style suites in peak summer.
