Rooms a nicely furnished and clean. The hotel all over is cute and it's not only called Plantation but looks like a plantation house. Very close to all the manatee tour locations. Staff is very friendly. A later check-out was instantly offered for no additional charge as we told them we are doing a manatee tour.

Overall, not a bad value, but it could just be so much better. Beds are good, rooms/bathrooms clean and comfy (despite our haughty housekeeper who was miffed that we didn't leave our room until 10:30 a.m.-horrors!). Wi-fi mediocre, whirlpool broken- down and unusable, shower- oddly arranged. No room safes and those stupid "don't steal me" hangers. Come on, folks, get... More

The plantation on crystal river is on the surface a lovely complex with great sized rooms and all the trimmings of a large hotel. I was a little disapointed at the pool size given others reviews but that's ok, what wasn't nice was the musty carpets, might need a good clean as the smell in the lift wasn't nice! All... More

We were pleasantly surprised at the beautiful setting of the swimming pool and its surroundings. The pool is huge, so it never felt noisy and crowded despite it being Spring Break week! With Kings Bay as the backdrop, the pool is truly an oasis. There are activities such as kayaking and manatee watching, and a huge lawn for families and... More

Friendly staff... check in was easy. Room was ok. Bed and pillows were very comfortable... Towels were a bit worn... biggest surprise was s quick drink and snack at the bar. Bar tender was friendly, made a great martini. The bar food was very good.

We visited the Plantation for our 6th wedding anniversary. We had never been to Crystal River but had heard good things. The location and people met our expectations fully. The property is beautiful and the scenic boat ride is a must especially coming from everyday city life. The rooms were newly renovated and the canal view is lovely and so... More

Wow! We loved this location. We spent our first anniversary here but our plans started with the hopes of swimming with manatees. The view from a waterfront room is a MUST! The pool and spa are beautiful, however it was mentioned that they were heated and the temperature was on the cold side. I found it refreshing with being in... More

I booked this as a romantic getaway for my fiancé and myself. The website had beautiful pictures but I was disappointed at check in. We got there at 3:00 and they said our room wasn't ready and said they'd call my cell phone when it was prepared. We told them we'd get some appetizers in the bar and wait. They... More

We stayed here at the start of our vacation. We had been to Crystal River last year for a dolphin cruise and liked the cruise and the area. We had a water view room in the building farthest from the lobby. The room was clean and comfortable. The view was peaceful and relaxing. We just wanted a restful night before... More
