This hotel is located in a nice place and the grounds are very pretty. While the pool was nice for the kids I definitely felt that it was for corporate retreats and the kids around were just tolerated by the business travelers trying to network. It appears to be for families with shuffle board, horseshoes, croquet, etc. but it was... more

Just returned from a business trip to this hotel. Despite the cooler weather for this time of year in Florida, the hotel, food and staff were outstanding. We were able to see many manatees on the boat ride, and finally got some sun by the pool. We'll be back for the typically warmer Florida weather. Thanks, more

This was our second trip to Plantation Inn, this time we were housed in a new part of the hotel. The room was lovely, the bed oh so comfortable. While we were there, there was a convention of Model T owers, complete with their cars which was an added bonus. The quality of the hot food at the breakfast buffet... more

As a 12 year professional in the hotel industry, I am quite realistic about how hard it is to keep it all running "perfectly". Leaky toilets, room service forgetting items and saggy ceiling tiles are all things that sometimes happen and you can't control it (all things that happened at the Plantation). GOOD and even GREAT service are completely in... more

We have been here three times in three years. We love this place. It is wonderful. The rooms are all redone. The pool sits on the river. The golf is right across the street. The food is good. The people are friendly. more

Do not be decieved by the web photos, this place is not what it seems! This is a recurrent problem. Look at other reviews. We made reservations for two nights months in advance through Expedia and got confirmation. We drove hours across the state to get there and arrived around 3 PM only to be told that they did not... more

We stayed here at the Plantation the last week of January this year. Price was very reasonable and room was very spacious, clean and had a great view of the canal. We went to see and kayak with the manatees and were thrilled to see them everywhere in the surrounding waters. Best place to see them if you're not in... more

Stayed two nights. Booked through orbitz for less than resort site, but ended up with a double room instead of a King. The major drawback is the air conditioning. It is comfortable...barely. We visited in Febuary..I can imagine it would be pretty warm in summer. But you can not beat the location and amenities for swimming with the manatees, renting... more

If Florida to you is the Keys, Miami, and Orlando and you haven't been to this area, you are missing a real outdoors, natural experience and some great chances for outdoor activities. You can spend an entire week in this area finding lots to do and some new and unique things to do that you haven't done in Florida. My... more
