Anemos Luxury Grand Resort
- Toddler
- Kid
- Teen
A five-star suites-and-spa resort on the edge of Georgioupolis, one of Crete's calmest, shallowest family beaches. The draw is water: four pools including a kids pool with waterslides, a free kids club and a long stretch of soft sand and gentle sea right nearby. It is smart and relaxed rather than a party spot, which suits families with younger children.
Our verdict
A smart-value five-star for families who want a calm, shallow beach and a free kids club without a mega-resort crush. Best for toddlers and young children, with the gentle Georgioupolis sea as the headline.
The rooms
Suite-style rooms and family suites, many with a separate living space and some with a private or swim-up pool. Family suites give you room for a cot plus older children, and the higher categories add the kind of space that makes a rainy afternoon survivable.

Parents also ask
Is the beach good for young children?
Yes. Georgioupolis beach is known for calm, shallow, gently shelving water, which is reassuring for toddlers, though the open beach can catch the wind in the afternoon.
Is the kids club included?
Yes. The kids club for ages 4 to 12 is free, and under-4s can join a mini club alongside a parent, with a daily and evening programme.
Is it suitable for babies?
It works, with cots on request and family suites, but there is less baby-specific kit than at some rivals, so pack your own essentials.
