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.

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

Our room was clean, appeared to be renovated recently, beds comfortable. We looked for a place that we could park our car and enjoy some decent food and not have to drive. My husband had a hot dog at the Tiki bar and the roll was a month past stale. Dinner at the inside restaurant was bland and there was... More
