I can't say enough about how lovely our visit was to the Plantation on Crystal river. Our room was spotless, all the furniture and carpeting new. Every staff member we met had been with the hotel for many years and seemed genuinely proud to work there. The restaurant and bar area served wonderful food, my favorite, the macaroni and cheese...

Plantation on Crystal River use to be called Plantation Inn Golf Resort but by any name it’s a fantastic "old Florida" place to stay and enjoy the outstanding beauty of Crystal River. It’s a golf and tennis resort to be sure. But it’s also a place for fine dining and old Florida charm. The Plantation is nestled along a channel... More

The Plantation is just what we needed to relax, rest and recreate! The grounds are beautful, including the pool area. Staff was very attentive, providing everything we needed, and so friendly. We enjoyed the boat tour seeing the manatees that swim up Crystal River from the ocean. Huge, fascinating creatures. The food at The Plantation is very good and so... More

This property just underwent an extensive remodel. I am handicapped. The room I was in had the best accessible bathroom I have ever been in. Our room was gigantic. The mattress was so good we asked what kind it was and are considering buying one. The group I was with also rented a hospitality room. It had a full size... More

It was cold, but we had... More

My husband combined a "Swim With the Manatee" trip with an overnight at the Plantation Crystal River Resort. The Manatee Swim trip was a package deal through the Plantation Resort. It was freezing cold but that's the best time to see, swim, and be up close with hundreds of manatees. I have never seem so many manatees in one spot.... More

My wife and I spent 3 days at this beautiful hotel. We had some absolutely wonderful experiences and some constructive criticism. First the good - the rooms are extremely nice, with a view overlooking the river, beds were very comfortable, bathrooms perfect. I travel all over the world, and we have stayed in some 5 and 6 star resorts, and... More

Had an excellent time with my co-workers on our annual managers retreat. Staff were friendly and rooms were new and clean. The bed was very comfortable, and the temps were just right for sleeping with the windows open to enjoy Florida air. The food was good, but not great. They provided us with to-go lunches one day that were pretty... More

Spent two days at the Plantation on Crystal River. We had a fantastic experience....swimming with the manatees, playing golf, and kayaking on the river. The newly renovated hotel was perfect. Our room was graciously decorated and nicely appointed. The hotel's staff was friendly and helpful. The food was spectacular. We highly recommend the Plantation. More

My wife and I spent 5 days at this lovely hotel - the property is right on Kings Bay and the marina provides boats or kayaks that take you straight to the manatees. The staff was very friendly and helpful - they all went out of their way to make sure our stay was a great one, including suggesting multiple... More
