3 Island View Hotel
Beachfront pool and fireplace, less than a kilometre from Nidri Beach
About this hotel
The pool here matches the beachfront setting rather than competing with it, positioned to catch the same sea view guests get from the sand itself just a short walk away. An outdoor fireplace extends the terrace into the evening once the temperature drops, a detail that suits shoulder-season stays as much as midsummer ones. Family rooms run practical, with air conditioning, balconies and free toiletries as standard, and full-day security adds a layer of reassurance for families with children moving between the pool and the beach. Breakfast runs continental, with a coffee shop and barbecue facilities extending the food options beyond the morning buffet. Dimosari Waterfalls are a ten-minute walk for an easy detour.

Our take
This suits families who want direct beachfront access with a proper pool as backup, at a more accessible rate than La Finestra's adults-only luxury tier. The outdoor fireplace is a genuine plus for spring or autumn stays. Couples wanting an adults-only atmosphere should book La Finestra instead, since 3 Island View leans firmly toward family use with its security and room setup.
- ✓Use the barbecue facilities for at least one evening meal rather than relying on the coffee shop and buffet breakfast alone.
- ✓Walk the ten minutes to Dimosari Waterfalls in the cooler morning hours before the midday heat sets in.
- ✓Book a pool-view room if a full sea view isn't essential; it's a lower-cost option with much of the same outlook.
Why we love it
- Direct beachfront access under a kilometre from the door
- Pool sharing the same sea view as the beach
- Outdoor fireplace for cooler evenings
- Full-day security for family peace of mind
Why guests love it3 Island View Hotel suits families who want the sea right in front of them, with direct beachfront access and a pool that shares the same view. Family rooms have air-conditioning and free WiFi, and Nidri Beach is less than a kilometre away for a change of scene. The pool is a useful fallback on windy afternoons, and the outdoor fireplace makes cooler spring or autumn evenings pleasant outside. I would pick it for a three-star beach stay.
