With a hotel there's no need to ask for the heating or look after the pool: you just go down for a swim. On Rhodes, the old town and the beaches are often visited well into autumn, when a heated pool makes all the difference. Here are the 21 hotels I've selected on Rhodes, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Atrium Prestige Thalasso Spa Resort & Villas, Lindos Blu Luxury Hotel & Suites and Mayia Resort.
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.
Places are ranked from highest to lowest rated. The yellow bubble shows the advertised water temperature, when it's known.

These places were suggested to us directly by their owners. The heated pool is declared by them; they don't yet have enough guest reviews to join the selection.
In my selection, the top-rated is Atrium Prestige Thalasso Spa Resort & Villas (Hotel), with 4.9/5 (4,214 reviews · TripAdvisor). Next come Lindos Blu Luxury Hotel & Suites (4.9/5) and Mayia Resort (4.8/5).
None of the places selected on Rhodes clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. At Bellevue On The Beach Suites and Alizo Boutique Hotel & Spa - Adults Only, heating is seasonal (november to may). Atrium Prestige Thalasso Spa Resort & Villas, Lindos Blu Luxury Hotel & Suites and Elysium Resort & Spa have an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
