Okay, we recently decided to stay here for 2 nights while we were in CR to snorkel with the manatees. The location is convenient, and the property is nicely laid out. Yes, it is an older resort, but all in all the public spaces seem to be nicely kept. We stayed in the new wing in a king (Expedia rate... more

To be fair, we had to cancel our reservations at the hotel and boat rentals at the marina and can only say that we did so in a timely manner and were refunded accordingly for the room rental. However, the marina was a different story. The owner refused to refund the deposit and said that we did not cancel and... more

My sister had her wedding at the Plantation Inn. I was concerned about how it would accommodate the extended family and friends but shouldn't have worried. The staff was wonderful to work with. We had a golf package rate that included a wonderful hot breakfast buffet. It is an older hotel so some issues in some rooms with the heating,... more

Perhaps at one time this hotel was a first class establishment, it apparently has fallen on hard times. We could tell that renovations had been done, but rather slip shod. We have lights that don't work, the walls seem thin, it's extremely noisy from the other rooms, there is a strong mildew odor. The front desk person was rude upon... more

We stayed at the Plantation in August during the busy scalloping season. The main resort was full and our room was in a building across the street on the golf course. The layout of the room was nice, with a kitchen, full bath, and 2 sofa beds downstairs and two double beds and a full bath upstairs, but it was... more

My husband & I just stayed here. While he was playing golf I was able to complete some work, have a relaxing time at the pool, which by the way, many families seemed to be really enjoying as well. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the resort and rooms, the staff was friendly, warm and VERY accommodating. We really... more

This was a return visit to the Plantation Inn for my husband and myself. The attention to detail that should make this hotel live up to its advertising is going downhill quickly. Upon entering the lobby to check in, the musty smell was very pronounced (we later discovered this same musty smell extended down every hallway) and the only employee... more

Well, my family and decided to leave our home in the Tampa/St. Pete area and just drive down 19 and see where the road takes us. It took us to Crystal River, which is somewhere we have driven through but not really stopped to enjoy. We were on the hunt for the "Nature Coast" so old Florida. We came across... more

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
