Macaris Suites and SPA
Rethymno, Greece · ★ 4.6 Exceptional B.Booking.com 9.2
Hot tub on a sea-view balcony in Rethymno, rated 9.2/10 by guests who've soaked there.
Picture this: you're in the hot tub, a pergola throwing clean shadows across the terrace, and the Cretan Sea sitting flat and blue at the railing's edge. That's the view from the balcony suites at Macaris Suites and SPA, and it's the kind of thing that makes an evening plan of "just a quick soak" stretch into something much longer. If you're looking for a hotel with a private hot tub in Rethymno, this is one of the more convincing answers.
Two suite categories come with the balcony hot tub: the Jacuzzi Suite and the Grand Suite, which adds a sauna inside. The bathroom in the photos is all dark slate tile and a starlit ceiling, so the indoor and outdoor spaces feel considered rather than bolted together. Guests rate the property 9.2 out of 10, which, for a place promising this much, is reassuring rather than surprising.

★ When booking, choose the room type that names a jacuzzi / hot tub / plunge pool. That's the one with the private in-room water feature.

Questions, answered
Is the hot tub outside or inside the suite?+
It's on a private balcony, open to the sky but partly shaded by a pergola, with the sea visible from the water.
Which suite should I book for the most complete experience?+
The Grand Suite with Jacuzzi and Sauna adds an indoor sauna to the balcony hot tub, making it the fuller option if that matters to you.
Which area of Rethymno gives the best views from an in-room tub?+
It depends what you're after. Old-town suites like those at Erotokritos Luxury City Suites put you among the minarets and Venetian loggia, so you're soaking with rooftop history on every side. Coastal properties like Nalu Resort and Spa face the sea, which means open-water light in the morning and a quieter stretch of beach just outside.
What's the price range, and is there a better-value time of year to visit?+
Nightly rates across our listed properties run from around €55 to €216, which is a genuinely wide spread for a Cretan destination. Shoulder season, particularly May and October, tends to bring lower rates and softer crowds while still giving you warm enough weather to make an outdoor plunge pool worthwhile.
