A hotel with pools in Agia Marina Chania

Life is better at the pool

Blue flag awarded Agia Marina- Platanias Beach, with its shallow waters and soft sands, is steps away for a blissful sunbathing, waterskiing – or castle-building – session. But no one would blame you if you choose to stay within the Oscar Suites & Village cocooned premises.

Take your pick from the two sizeable swimming pools: Against the backdrop of luscious gardens with uninterrupted sky views, both are tastefully lined up with sleek and comfortable sunbeds: Perfect for unapologetic lounging, for exchanging news and views with like-minded individuals, zoning off or catching on the latest “it” novel. Preferably with a cocktail or two and some tempting light snacks from the pool bar. This is also playtime for kids (young and old!), as there are two shallow and safe, children’s side pools to keep the little ones happy, securely within eyeshot of lounger-bound parents. Watch them have fun splashing around as you practice your strokes or simply enjoy lying in the Mediterranean sun, and let them explore the playground next door.
